I read this article in the Famitsu (a Japanese magazine) written by industry insiders which is about some background information and knowledge. I thought I could translate and summarize key parts then post it on the other sites.
*************************************************
Thesis: Why Gears of War looks so much better than other Unreal Engine based games?
*************************************************
- One reason is that GoW is a brand new game; the developer Epic made this game from scratch when so many other developers make their games by heavily upgrading former titles; by using this method, these developers can save so much budget and development time. This issue is not only about Unreal Engine; it can be applied for all other games. For instance, look at Halo 3. Halo 3’s alpha build screenshots are available everywhere. Since alpha build screenshots are 95% identical to the final (retail) build shots, Halo 3 actually looks like Halo 2.5 in the graphics department; maybe Halo 3’s gameplay will rock your balls. It’s a confirmed and announced flat fact that Halo 3 is made by heavily upgrading Halo 2. Bungie is not making it from scratch. Halo 2 was made by Renderware which is far inferior to other newer development tools.
- Another reason is that GoW is made only for one platform which is the X360; therefore, GoW can use most, possible and potential power of the X360. Many other multi-platform (for PC, X360 and PS3) games simply can’t do that.
- Other reason is that the developer, Epic is one of the most talented companies in the entire world. Of course, if a game is made by AAA level developer then it should be distinguished.
- Other reason is that Epic is the creator of the Unreal Engine itself. It’s a known thing that GoW is actually made by using Unreal Engine 3.2 or so because Epic is constantly enhancing and updating the Unreal Engine 3.x. Other developers license this engine (in this case, it’s just version 3.0) and make their games; however, Epic actually used more advanced technology for GoW which is better than the technology included in the version 3.0.

they still have the nerve to post UNRELATED topics, the non ps3 fanboys are always barge'n in here and posts rap which ps3 readers find it unpleasant and irrelevant. so much for freedom of speech vs invasion of privacy. as someone said it, common sense is NOT that common anymore.
