If you've never seen footage from Gears of War before and you mix gameplay from both games, you'd probably think they were the same game. I was watching a movie from Gamespot that mixed trailers from Quake 4, Gears of War and other games, and had trouble telling which was Quake 4 and which was GoW. I had to lock on to the character designs to see. Not bad for a 2-3 year old id engine, don't you think? I suppose the only thing GoW will have over the tweaked Doom 3 engine (Quake 4), is that it can do uber massive areas, whereas Quake 4 can only do massive areas. I was also thinking while watching GoW that all its technology seemed to be in making things look detailed on a texture level only. But hell, it still kind of looks the same as the 2 year old Doom 3 game.

Oh, my mistake. But I still stick with both games looking similar, and one being old-ish.

The same Doom 3 that was released in August last year?
You know, the one that still can create almost photorealistic enviroments?
Gears of War uses the Unreal Engine 3.
