I am even more geeked for this game. The people who played as the Locust were not good.

is the game really that colorless. plus the textures resolution seems much lower in the multilayer or whatever it is. game-play seems ok though

@ Smoked, @ master,
Hey if you aren't interested, you aren't interested...No big deal. Gears is all about tactical versus twitch shooting (in fact I think it has a good balance between the two) so it definitely is slower than say a Resistance, or Halo game.

You are right about one thing though, the guy playing sucked.

@Jersey - I play the heck out of the original still with a good group of on-line friends and we are all foaming at the mouth for the new one. New screens and videos do nothing but excite the horde! Really interested in how they address the following: One-Shot Downs from the active longshot, the unbelievably small boomshot blast radius and the host shotgun advantage. Stopping power and the flamethrower look to be pretty cool additions as well.

 

lol, I know, I played the first gears to death...just dont why I never brought it. You see, thats the thing about gears 2: people are either going to love it or hate it. A lot of fanboys have been complaining about how there are slight upgrades from the first one. This is true, but the first one rocked!! It was damn near perfect...just the storyline was about 6-8 hours long:(. Other than that, graphics are awesome, gameplay is epic, and controls were perfect IMO. Anything that can be added will just improve on its greatness.

I wonder though, how many sequels really change the way the game is played?  OH I understand what you are saying, just think that probably 90% of sequels are evolutionary, not revolutionary.

Cliffy B (or Dude Huge as kotaku like to call him) has earned a free pass from me after Gears 1.  He says Gears 2 is bigger, better and more bad ass (or whatever), I believe him, until proven otherwise!

It looks exactly the same as the first one from a graphics and gameplay stand point.

I am not impressed at all. This is what i expected from it

- A huge graphics leap (not done, they added more colour & made it abit sharper, poor)

- New innovative gameplay (not done, poor)

- Alot more guns (not done, poor)

- Vastly improved online play (few new modes and bump up from 8 to 10, poor)

Geow 1 was good, and Geow 2 still will be, but it will be a let down. They had 2 years to improve on it, they havent much from what i have seen. I think the 360 is reaching it's limit.

not interested, i may pick up a used copy later on, but with the orig gears it just seemed a chore to get through after the kryll section, i just felt myself quickly wanting to finish it and trade it in.

my main gripe would be multiplayer, sure will sell well, and will be liked by its fans but im out of this one.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

Those guys were awful. The game, however, will be amazing. Horde mode for the win.

The trailer as a whole was pretty bad. For these chief reasons:

- Bad lighting with the camera they used to record it.

- The player is atrociously bad.

- Nothing new was shown.


Other things to note: The lighting created by the muzzle flair does look better then the first game. The character models also look a bit better.

The ridiculous body physics are still there.
