First Gears of War 2 gameplay footage released - definitely more badass
May 10th, 2008 @ 07:53

It’s here, and we have to say this is probably the most excited we’ve been before 8am on a Saturday morning. The video shows new weapons, using locusts as body shields, open environments, co-op against brumarks, chainsaw battles, crowding locusts, finishing moves, massive vehicles, the full nine yards. To employ the vernacular, it’s “sweet”.
His this for a graphics comparison video, and this for an awesome analysis edit of the new trailer.
We can’t wait for November. Looks fantastic. Good work, Epic kids.

Does looks very sexy donit? I DL’ed it off the MArketplace an hour ago and had to put my boxing gloves on as I was watching.

It looks brilliant! Definitely not a let-down at all.

You’re wearing that Fenix costume, aren’t you?
Pics godammit, pics!

Well, I just hope you get to explore some areas like that on foot and go up against those hordes of enemies on the ground.

Me too. And no one ever sees my Marcus “peep-hole” kit.

Bit of a bump in terms of graphics, the trailer didn’t get be super hyped but it’s a buy for sure

Looks fairly decent.

NEEDS MORE MEATCUBE!

Absolutely amazing, did anyone notice how much the frame rate has improved? Look at the chainsaw sequences and compare to the original. It looks twice as smooth!

This would have been 20 times more impressive if the character wasn’t clearly confined into a tiny box of a space without almost no room to manoeuvre.
As it stands, it just looks like a glorified cutscene.

That didn’t stop people liking CoD 4.

Looked very nice. Particularly the hoards of enemies in one short part of the clip. Question - Could CliffyB have worn a twattier T-Shirt?

Bigger, Better, Badder, Greyer . . . That pallette is for the clour blind. Looks OK game-play wise though.

It all reminds of the end of Act 2 in the first one. Which was one of my favourite bits in a game that was pretty much a collection of favourite bits.

I have to admit, I’m genuinely excited about this. More so than I was about GTA, tbh.

BRING IT!!!

“Sweet.”
May 12th, 2008 at 10:45 am
“Yeah, yeah, group hug.”
May 12th, 2008 at 11:00 am
“Like two assholes on a first date.”

I knew this game made you gay.

It’s the thickness of Marcus’s neck. Impossible to resist.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Nah, it’s all about the Baird. Pure man beef.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:11 am
And the Cole Train. In a manwich.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Oh, that’s done it. Now I have to go change.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:19 am
WOOOOOO!!
S’up Bitches?!

Best thread ever. I’m giving myself a foot massage as I type.

I want to play Gears of War again, but I just traded it for GTA IV.
I think I’ll lift some weights in front of a wall mirror dressed in spandex listening to hard rock instead. I find it so liberating. In a purely heterosexual kind of way of course.
