Forums - Microsoft - Gears of War 2 has a 300-page script

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/891/891677p4.html

It's a 4-page interview with the guy writing the story. 

 

IGN: How many pages is the final script?

Josh:
You know, we have to compile it all. It's one of my goals. But it's gotta be 300 pages or so. So it's a couple movies, you know? That's not including everything, that's just a lot of the core stuff. Not including battle chatter stuff and things of that nature. So it's a lot when you combine it all. Maybe we'll put it out one day as a game script for people to see. You never know.

While they clearly aren't going all MGS on us, it looks like Epic definitely heard the complaints that the first Gears was too light on story, and seem to be coming up with something that makes you wanna see what happens next



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

 He wasn't saying it was like Haze--he actually said it will "knock our F**Kin socks off".  He was just saying that script size has no bearing, which is a valid point.

I'm just saying they're putting some effort in to try to lure some of those detractors.  Personally, I'd really like to know what really happened to Fenix's dad, and they hinted that it'll be somewhat explained, or at least alluded to.

Gears of War 2 is probably going to be the most story-heavy shooter ever made

Who would make a script where every page but 2 was made entirely of grunts?
