Epic Games has three teams.

-Gears of War team
-Unreal tournament team
-Unreal Engine team

Unnecesary fear mongering. Gears is the big 360 game this holiday. It will deliver, or I will kick myself in the back of the head.

Agreed with D21lewis, article was unnecessary.

The same could be said about Resistance 2 with it's 08 release date will have a development period of 2 years (maybe less depending on the actual date), but I doubt resistance 2 or Gears 2 will suffer, epic games and insomniac are reliable developers.

Yes a little paranoid

I think it will be fine.

Also living up to the first ones great story will be so difficlult. (sarcasim)

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

This is like saying Halo 2 wasnt gonna be that big.

 He is not saying it's not going to be big, it will sell a ton of copies. He is saying it won't be as good as the hype makes it out to be, just like Halo 2 wasn't as good as the hype made it out to be.

I don't think so. For me the best part of GeoW was it's extremely awesome campaign. The combat was so tight and it had me on the edge of my seat. It's problem was it's length. Deliver the same experience with a couple of extra weapons, slightly better graphics and a 2-3 hour longer campaign, and I'm hooked.

If DVD size is an issue, simply put single player features on one disk and multiplayer (maps etc) on another.

The engine is ready , the budget is huge , the team is probably even bigger ... so no , Im not worried for the title . It wont be the same revelator game as the first one , but it will be huge ... extremly huge .... maybe even Halo killer huge ?

I doubt it. Halo was the flagship of the console after all. I also think that the DLC for GTAIV will be out by then which means that GTA is likely to be a big Christmas title as well.
