Posted May 10, 2008 The sky/water/background/lighting make the game look much, much better - the little dose of colour from all of those things really makes a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2008 Agreed it looks all kindsa awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2008 I feel slightly underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, it looks good, but I was expecting a contender for the best-looking game on the X360; instead, the engine seems almost identical. On a positive note it's cool you can take hostages in GOW 2, but most of all I'm looking forward to the chainsaw battles! http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33773.html *ahem*... Also- a scene by scene analysis. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33775.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2008 urrrrgh! shhiiiiiiitt that looks sweet as for 'identical engine'.....eh, what? Ok so the graphics aren't a big jump but did you not notice the sheer scale they're now applied to? that battle is *massive* compared to, what, 8 enemies at a time in the first one, tops. looking forward to this. the first game was pretty enjoyable stuff.

Posted May 10, 2008 The main thing I gather from that Comparsion is that the lighting looks so much better and the differences in scale. Surely this calls for 4 -player co-op? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2008 it fuckin better do. If so, I'm getting a crew together and not playing it solo, ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2008 it fuckin better do. If so, I'm getting a crew together and not playing it solo, ever. Would be truly awesome. I really hope multiplayer games won't be 8 on 8 affairs now though. I think the cover sytem and the dynamics between the weapons lend themselves well to tight, compact, strategic stages. Epic did say there will be some new co-operative modes though - anyone for 'Behead the Undead' (Timesplitters) style arcade types? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2008 I was never that in to Gears MP. Maybe if I owned a copy and gave it time...but it seemed a bit clunky to me, especially in tight quarters. I was a Halo boy at heart really- now that's a game I can control effrotlessly at all times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2008 Looks very good but I'm worried about the open scale of it. I hope that it punctuates the game rather than is used all the way through. I like the confined corridor play of the first, it's hard to keep any level of atmosphere in exterior settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2008 Cannot wait for this to come out, get the ol N-E Gears crew back together for nightly matches = D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2008 I think someone Epic must have stepped outside and realized that there are colours other than brown and grey. The main problem of the original was the generic style on top of the slightly repetitive single player. So far, this looks to have solved at least one of those problems. High hopes!

Posted May 11, 2008 Has anyone played the first on PC? Joystick control really spoiled the first one for me, although I had a blast. I heard the PC version is buggy, this is why I ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 11, 2008 looks awesome liked that you can now use a enemy as a shield (then break his neck and chuck over the edge hehe) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2008 Cannot wait for this to come out, get the ol N-E Gears crew back together for nightly matches = D. I've yet to watch the video but this idea is a great one. Shame all the games in between the first Gears and this one, it all just fell apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2008 Hell Yes! I wish i had a 360 I loved the first Gears of War and played it all the time with my friend. This looks much more awesome, loads of stuff was happening on screen in that video and the chainsaw screw attack thing from behind was great. :awesome: Definately my most playe 360 game. Bluejay take note! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2008 I should probably play through the first one a second time. I hope the ending in GoW2 doesn't just jump up out of nowhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 11, 2008 Holy shit. That video was intense. Using a locust as shield. The chainsaw battle looks like it's whoever can press the b button the quickest will come oout on top. That's no excuse to only use that weapon online though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
