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! :D

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.

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

Hell Yes! :D

 

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! :heh:

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...:blank:
