WOW (http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14232680/gears-of-war-2/videos/gears2_reveal_050908.html)

This video just blew my fucking mind. The new rifle looks and sounds kick ass.

Damn, lots of new shit. It seems like they're adding some sort of full-auto pistol in there. Did I see new executions (snapping neck) and the ability to take enemies hostage?

And everyone says the PS3 is more powerful. I havn't seen graphics like that on Sony's console yet.

Whoa. The auto pistol looks exactly like the mauler from Halo 3. Anyone else agree?

Well you do realise that this is running on the Unreal 3 Engine ... which runs on the PS3 ...

You haven't seen Killzone 2, have you? It looks better than the pre rendered trailer in 2005 and it's still only in the pre alpha stage.

EDIT: you fanboy assholes need to get out of this fucking thread.

Yeah, but we know Gears 2 won't suck ass. Killzone will.

Do you work at Guerilla? Just because the first one wasn't great doesn't mean the second will suck. Hell, even Guerilla don't know if it's good or bad yet because it's not coming out for another year.

It's games like these that makes me glad I have an xbox. It's worth the unreliability. I should know...I got my 2nd RROD earlier today.

i just hope they make the online better. the campaign in the first gow kicked ass, one of the best campaigns ever, but i never really played online a whole lot. bullet lag was bad enough, but it was also kind of plain to me.

that doesnt mean a thing. if you play Quake 4 (unreal engine) they made textures worse on 360 than on pc.


so mentioning that the unreal engine has anything to do with graphical comparison doesnt make sense at all.


just because its on the same engine, doesnt mean everything looks the same.

Right. Exactly, because Gears of War is only about the graphics.

SARCASM. Sometimes we use it when speaking English.

yes, i know what sarcasm is. but that has nothing to do with what were talking about. good way to dodge it tho.

Oh right so the 360 version will gain an additional few frames per second, however there is nothing the 360 cannot do that the PS3 cannot do to an acceptable level. (Shit programmers are not viable, I'm looking at you EA sports). The 360 has a more traditional graphical edge over the PS3 using common rendering techniques however that edge is simply a few more fps or slightly more pixels, nothing that renders the game unplayable.

Wanna push that the otherway? There is alot the 360 cannot do that the PS3 can do. How much of this will we see? Just wait and see, Killzone 2 been a prime example.

So, is this gonna be a prequel or did Marcus Fenix start using Just For Men?

either way, I hope it's a lot better than the first. For some reason everytime I played the original, I got bored of it in about 30 minutes and the online was absolutely dreadful. Maybe, it's just that my expectations were too high though because for a long ass time everybody was telling me about how awesome it was, and then when I got it I thought "this is it?" Could also be that I played Uncharted first, which is a very similar game gameplay-wise, except I think it's vastly greater in most aspects.
