In a interview with Gamedaily.com, Insomniac CEO Ted Price suggests that since Gears of War 2 has had "fantastic feedback" and "looks beautiful," people who own both a PS3 and Xbox 360 should pick up both Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 this holiday season.

"Ultimately, as a PS3 owner and an Xbox 360 owner myself, those are two games I would get," said Price. "I want to have the most entertaining experiences on both consoles, so I am going to get the games that have the best feedback. So far, Gears has had fantastic feedback, and I think it looks beautiful. Resistance will make a lot of PS3 owners happy too."

We have not had a chance to get our hands on Gears of War 2 yet, however, we have played Resistance 2, which is a must-own title for any PlayStation 3 owner. Resistance 2 is set to release on November 4, so get your copy pre-ordered today.

    just b/c one's for the 360 doesn't make it a bad game they both have their pros and cons so i will have to say i agree with ted price here however i still like ps3 better

     I would buy the PC version if there is one but i don't really like Cliffy B, i'll have to think about it if its on PC that is.

     Not only this guy is a real gamer, but he is also a really honest, and very good person. I like this guy. He is one real game developer.

    I actually hope both games get the same score like last year. I always saw them as alter-egos of each other for each console.

    See this here, right here. Is the very reason why we need more developers like Insomniac on the market. They have always had respect for any game, even if its on the oppositte console. Good job Ted!

    So you guys have played Resistance 2, I know this is entirely subjective but how much better would you say it is than the first as far as graphics, gameplay, story?

    I would like to buy both, however I don't own a 360 nor do I ever plan on owning one. Already have R2 CE edition pre-ordered.

    Nice to see appreciation of a game for what it is and not what platform its on.


      There is something for everyone on every platform this generation and I think people should accept that & start to enjoy the games for what they are, rather than enjoy a game because its supposedly the best game on the best console nonsense.

    If I liked 3rd person, then maybe I would have enjoyed GeOW...but I did appreciate what it offered. Personally FPS offers me more, even if it isn't Socom in FPS simply because I can play them.

    that's the most honest answer from a dev ever.... i like this guy, for that and for the great games from his  company .

    No Ted, I will NOT buy Gears 2, no matter how much you beg me.  Gears 1 sucked.

  19. SpyroViper

    • 4:42am BST - October 1st, 2008

    I do think Gears 2 is a good game.  But I have had a 360 before I had my PS3 and it died.  I'm not getting burnt again.  Plus I like my gaming time to be a quiet one and not feel like im sitting in an airport.

     I have both systems and i'll be getting both games as well.

    Will be getting gears 2 mainly for the multiplayer as the multiplayer in the 1st is loads of fun.

    well seeing as i threw out my sixth xbox 360 the other day after i recieved the RROD for yep, the sixth time, i guess its gonna be Resistance 2 for me...

    I am going to buy both. I am a pig. Even if I don't have enough money to eat, hopefully I will survive long enough to beat both.

    I only have a PS3 but Resistance 2 and Gears 2 does look great, my friend who lives not far from me owns a 360 so i be trying this game out to compare the differences. Cant wait to own Resistance , going to be sweet.

    i didnt like GoW 1 when i played it on my pc but it might be different on x360 but i dont own it anyway

    R2 is a must buy for me no matter what

  25. tanner1 | OB1K

    • 7:37am BST - October 1st, 2008

    I doubt ull hear the same respect coming from the CEO of epic and thats  the difference

  26. tretormenn | OB1K

    • 8:01am BST - October 1st, 2008

     Both for me

  27. MrSifter | MrSifter

    never played gears of war and dont really plan to, resistance2 is what im getting!

  29. TekkenLord | HitMan00

    • 10:27am BST - October 1st, 2008

    both games should sell like hot cakes, but since i gave up my 360 last year i'll have to stick with R2.

    Buying both no questions asked

  31. gingo | gingo

    • 12:22pm BST - October 1st, 2008

    psn id: gingo.... this is just common sense if you have both consoles you would obviously buy the 2 best shooters on your platform

    • 12:46pm BST - October 1st, 2008

    Can you guys see the difference between Ted Price and Cliffy B? That's the honest and respectful attitude we all expect from developers. Cliffy B should watch, admire and learn with Ted Price.

    At least this guy has respect for the competition unlike the competition itself.

  34. RTs42 | ags2yvx18o

    • 3:09pm BST - October 1st, 2008

    cool im going to get them both im more excited about Resistance 2 tho

  35. SamuraiClarke

    • 3:25pm BST - October 1st, 2008

    Its really nice that a developer would say something good about their competition. Unfortunately, I only have a PS3. But I am hoping I can get a Xbox 360 for Christmas.

  36. DeadOnArrival06 | DeadOnArrival06

    • 4:07pm BST - October 1st, 2008

    I'll be getting both, but Resistence 2 is first for me. I'll get gears later down the road.

    • 4:20pm BST - October 1st, 2008

    Ah!But we all know which one of the two is better(HINT:It's not Gears)

    Really profesional, very nice.  It would be good to see Gears 3 on PS3 being that, the contract with EPIC was for two games, a third isn't necesarly a exclusive to Xbox.

    @18 - maybe you did not like, but it was a good game.

  39. RandomBeef

    • 7:19pm BST - October 1st, 2008

    trator! lol but to be hounist there isn't much diiference between gears 2 and gears 1, though atleast Ted is being open to both unlike that guy who makes the gears of war games who is a huge fan boy and would only stick to xbox because of it's controllers. He evemn swear in an interview about the ps3 he's that much of a fan boy.

    • 9:25pm BST - October 1st, 2008

    Well i hated Res1,so i will judge 2 buy the beta if i will but it or not. But GOW2 first day purchase for me.....

    • 3:37am BST - October 2nd, 2008

    @39

    I hope you haven't convinced yourself that the reason Cliffy B is developing on xbox is because of the controller. It's called a big paycheck from MS. Don't pretend you wouldn't be interested if it launched PS3. I know if R2 launched on 360, and thats all I owned, I would be very interested because the first game was great.

    I actually wasn't blown away by R1 in any way, I think it was just another average shooter. However, R2 looks very promising, and I like what they have done with it. I'm almost definately getting both games.

    I'm a PS3 only guy, so R2 for me. I would never get a 360 on purpose.
