Voice Actor in Gears 2 says, Gears of War 2 "Going to be more emotionally affecting than Bioshock"
madninja | 1:17 AM on 07.01.2008 26 comments



(this picture is awesome Donut)

Before people start saying that Gears of War 1 didn't even have a story (there was one but it was horrible) please let me introduce to you the scene where this takes place. In an interview with Official Xbox Magazine UK a VOICE ACTOR who plays Dom. Let me say that again, a VOICE ACTOR named Carlos Ferro says in the following interview that:

"I said it. It's going to be more emotionally effecting than Bioshock. A lot happens."

Now it could be that Ferro wants to promote the game he is in so he get more acting opportunities or since they may have already recorded the lines for all of the characters. This is a possibility for Gears of War 2 to make me care about these characters that I didn't even give two shits about in the first one.



Also double the news on this game, but this will be short. Shacknews reports that Cliff Bleszinski (because he doesn't want to be called by a name that is easy to spell) at the Microsoft Spring Showcase said that:

"We're not announcing anything about co-op at this time, we'll probably get around to it around E3 time, but rest assured, it will be bigger and better."

I know this is late but man even though I didn't like the first Gears this just makes me happy but I just know they will disappoint me.

Hey, turns out Carlos Ferro is now my favorite voice actor! Go figure.

Well, I guess we'll see it when we play it.

Maybe this time they won't cut out the battle with the giant monster featured in all the trailers like they did with the first one.

Moreso than BioShock? Considering where the first Gears was in terms of story...I seriously doubt it.

Considering the original Gears was as emotionally charged as a lollipop I highly doubt Gears 2 is gonna have a complete 180 in that regard.

Uhh yeah. Ever noticed that movie actors always think the movie they played in is like the best, most engrossing, deep, funny, scary (etc.) movie ever? Same goes for this.
Gears of war has no story, only steroids (epic cant make a story for shit).

Also it will be more funny and innovative than Portal.
I'm not sure a testosterone shooter can become that emotional.

I'm sure it's just him (the voice actor) being optimistic about the game he's acting for. Nothing wrong with that.

Will it be more emotion than Bioshock though? Well... unless Dom explodes into a bloody mist, no.

Read: Dom dies, in an epic MGS-style speech with Fenix shouting 'NO!' and 'DOM!' lots in different tones.

There's nothing wrong with having optimism, but it's hard to believe it will be better than Bioshock's story since GoW didn't put much effort in it the first time around. Heck, until I saw the movie that plays the start screen idles too long I was wondering if there was anything to begin with. :S

Well, considering BioShock didn't emotionally effect me besides inducing rage at how trivial the whole affair was, I will hafta prolly side with Carlos. If it's worse than BioShock than it has nothing going for it story-wise.

Also, my fingers are crossed for four player co-op! If they enlarged the player cap in multiplayer I sure as hell think they could do it for co-op.

Only emotion I got from bioshock was awesome.

Not going to get that from gears, unless it's a totally different game.

And has puppies.

no no no no FUCK NO!

I play games like gears for the action not the fucking story. I don't what some emotionally effective story attached to gears. That is retarded.

Just let me kill thing for christ sakes!

The only reasons he says this is because his character is the one who has the love interest.

I think the "emotions" they're talking about is when Marcus Fenix roars like a dinosaur when he's out of steriod pills.
Then there will be this incredibly sad music in the backround.

And then Dom will come and comfort him, saying: "Its ok Marcus, we'll all run out sometime. But look on the bright side, at least now your testicles will return to normal."
