What was the res of the orignal gears?
I dont expect Gow 3 to be anything above the original.
Remember when Microsoft was releasing the 360, epic specially asked them to increase the ram to 512mb so they could get the game to work in (720p i think not sure). If they couldnt get the original to work above that, there is no way this will be above the res of the original.
yea lets turn a blind eye to 30+ multiplats released every year which even a 3yr old gpu on PC will out do the consoles on.
Any multiplat on the PC looks better then the exclusives on consoles, denying is just being ignorant.
I hope you didnt miss the crysis 2 screen shots released from console versions just few days ago, those certainly didnt look good. Sure thats not a finished build. Let the game come out just like any multiplat out there PC version just will ...
Id have to disagree with ya there.
Check out crysis running on the benchmark below 1920*1200 high settings no AA, runs at 40fps on a 4870 which is very respectable for a game like crysis. Sure turning to extreme settings and turning AA on will screw over any GPU. I find no reason for a game like mirrors edge which hardly pushes graphics to be causing problems for a 4870.

About 5% games on consoles do manage 1080p, but then they hardly do any AA and those titles dont push graphics at all.
