There are a slew of differences between the two. In summation, Gears UE is a much heavier lumbering game. But thats what i like about it. All the games are the gears formula, but they are also all a little different in various ways.I really hope this is true because despite liking Gears 4 my feeling while playing it was that I was playing Gears 1 Ultimate but with even prettier graphics. And I only played those two Gears, so it's worrisome that the fifth game of a franchise was almost identical to the first one. I get that the core gameplay and game design don't need to change but they need to evolve. The best comparison I can have is with Uncharted, which you can see the evolution clearly when comparing the first game even with U2.
Nothing I've seen from it so far indicates that it could top games like Resident Evil 2 for that title.
Resident Evil 2 is a recapitulation on on Revelations 2, which was a version of 6, which was an interation of five, which expaned on Resident Evil four. Yet it's GOTY, and doing the same old gameplay loop. In fact its a step back from six in terms of flair.
This same old same old is a drum beat loop people like to play when talking about this game series. It's a well worn avenue to neg the game, and the xbox brand. One that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. The same drumlines will crop up everytime, any Gears related thread.
