its been out on the xbox 360 for a good while now. BTW the PS3 doesn't have enough ram to even run this game.

Level design is easy, it is, if you don't plan on making a good map. A lot of thought and planning goes into the structure of the map, let alone the artistic detail. You can learn the basic functions of the editor in a few hours, but to know the editor well enough to make a proper map would take much longer. Just because you read a tutorial on making your first basic box map doesn't mean you have what it takes to be a level designer. It takes months to be good, but it takes years to be Epic.

Does anyone know where this video is from originally? or the name of the level designer?

THIS MAP MUST'VE GOT SCRAPPED, CAUSE I REALLY DON'T REMEMBER THIS IN ANY GEARS LEVEL.

@s4m2 I wish unreal ed was as simple to use as hammer, hammer is much simple and elegant in my option, i can build very complex maps on hammer and virtually nothing on unreal ed :P

The ps3 could easily run gears of war

the only problem is, on the xbox360 version, all of the textures are compressed to fit on a standard xbox360 dvd

and the way the system reads blueray is too slow to uncompress the textures quickly enough

that's why some games like metal gear solid install the game before you play, so load times are shorter

but the ps3 wouldn't have that problem because blueray disks are big enough that you wouldn't need to compress anything

The PS3 has the advantage of bluray allowing for uncompressed textures that do not need uncompressed while playing which frees up RAM and CPU power. BTW I own both a PS3 and Xbox 360 also, not to mention a hand built $1000 gaming computer.

For one, it has been four years but my comment still stands, without rebuilding the game would not be able to run on the PS3. The PS3 still has the same RAM architecture as it did four years ago with two different pools of 256 MB of RAM that cannot be used together. So no the PS3's ram does not beat the Xbox 360's any day as the RAM in the Xbox 360 is a single pool of 512 MB and can be used at once all together.
