Behold! Gears of War 2 gameplay footage is here

I really can't bring myself to give a fuck unless they announce 360/PC simultaneous releases. Gears of War was so done and played out and forgotten about that even though a PC version is out now, I have no interest bothering to try it out.

Oh damn, that was awesome. Can't wait to see more!

Looks great..just like the first one. What I really want to know is not what it will look like but how will the multiplayer be? Are they going to have dedicated servers this time around and get rid of the peer to peer crap that give the host superhuman abilities?

If they do that..they have my sixty bucks.

Yeah, if GoW2 has the host advantage, I won't be playing multiplayer for long. What it really needs is 4-player co-op.

Do any 360 games have dedicated servers? Do people actually rent out console servers for CoD4 and Halo3? How would that even work?

Probably the best looking video game in the history of mankind. Can't wait!

Holy shit! Jimbo just admitted to being remotely interested in a 360 game.

I'm stunned.

okay what did they add to this from the old GoW? it looks the same!!! what the hell

Big surprise, exactly the same game, very few new features. The same what epic did with UT, just make the same game over and over again. I won't make the mistake of buying their games again.

@yojimbo

That new avatar is epic btw.

@Grim

Isn't this game supposed to have 4-player co-op? I've always been under that impression, but maybe I was wrong.

That was impressive and that was only act 1?

Shit, I liked the new weapons, I also can't be the only that noticed that lancer is more streamlined now.

Wow, looks bloody amazing. The actual character models look the same as GoW1, but the enviroment looks much better and the amount of stuff being rendered at once is insane!

I've gotta say, I love the way that level is set up. It looks good. I don't really see why we need it to add a million things to the original. They seem to've put together another fun game with a few tweaks and add-ons, and that's enough for me. I'm optimistic.

For a series like GoW, I think it's not only fine to only have small, incremental changes/updates to the sequels but almost necessary. The Xeno series basically tried to reinvent itself with each new episode and regardless of whether you feel that the changes made in each one were improvements, it made the storytelling feel a bit disjointed and kind of hampered the overall experience.

I'm liking that Epic is keeping things pretty close (if not identical) to how they were in GoW1, if only because that one did such a good job of things.

the blue sky is a nice upgrade though; hopefully they've listened to our pleas and use colour in more than one level.

I think the part that impressed me the most was using the Locust body as a shield. It kinda looked like Marcus went Solid Snake for a second.

Aside from the visuals not being very much improved over the first one (especially the character models), it looks like it's gonna be a much better game. Multiplayer should be amazing as well.

FUCK YEAH! You grab the dude and fz0mfg
and chainsaw z0MFG ahuafghiodsgh[as

I cannot wait for this game.

Also: explosions look shitty :/

Looks like the same game with more kick ass features which is exactly what a sequel should be. Cannot wait to play this game.

It looks delicious. I'm all in for this one.

Looks like the same old GoW formula, but with some new Chainsaw dueling, body shields, new guns and finally some fscking variety in the executions. Do want 4 player coop and a slightly bigger colour palette (yeah right, that'll happen). I don't think they'll be able to lose the host advantage issue though. Its just a fact of life that the player hosting will get the smoothest gaming experience.

Wow...That looks GREAT.

I bought the first GoW on a whim figuring it would be alright and I loved the game. My friend and I played through the entire game on co-op on every level of difficulty and loved every minute of it.

Can't wait to show my friend this. He'll poo his pants.

I liked the new animations, body shields, the epic big ass locust monster...thing...the hundreds of locust soldiers...

Pwn.

More of the same is good. Gears of War did some nice things in the original game, don't see why they should overall everything for the sake of it in the second game. Roll on GoW2

DAMN COMPLAING ASS PEOPLE!YOU S.O.B.'S! INCASE YOU DIDN'T REALIZE IT'S JUST A ROUGH SKETCH. JUST LIKE THE 1st ONE YOU KNOW IT WILL SET ALL RECORDS AND YES YOU WILL BUY IT. SO SHUT THE HELL UP BITCHES! P.C. GAMER AT THE TOP! YOUR TYPE OF GAMING ALTHOUGH BETTER I MUST AGREE. ITS TO FUCKING EXPENSIVE! HOW MUCH IS THE FUCKING GRAPHICS CARD JUST TO PLAY GEARS OR CRYSIS! MY POINT EXACTLY THE PRICE OF A CONSOLE ALONE SO SHUT THE FUCK UP. YOUR WORLD IS DEAD. THE WORLD SERIES OF VIDEO GAMING,P.C'sonly dead! CPL LEAGUE DEAD!P.C'S ONLY DEAD!"MLG PRO"CONSOLES ONLY ALIVE AND KICKING! WE WIN!
