NYCC-Gears of War 2 Panel-One Good Thing
power-glove 04.20.08 - 6:27 PM 10 comments


As you may know, there was a special Gears of War 2 panel at the New York Comic Con. The
focus of the panel was a reflection on the Gears of War universe as a whole

Unfortunately, there was not much being talked about at the session but there was one thing
of note. The question of how were the Locusts were going to portrayed in the sequel came up.

Their response was that story of Gears of War 2 would flesh out the Locust character's story
and make them more than a group of grunting behemoths. It really nice to hear that they are
really looking to improving the storyline in this game.

I had a really great time this weekend. The best part of the weekend was when I had dinner
with several members of D-Toid including Nick Chester and his wife, Topher, .Tiff, Samit,
Phist, Cowzilla 3, and A. Pidgin) I will post something a little more significant in the future
about the event with pictures.

You don't need pics, I like to use my imagination.
ArrestedDeveloper's Destructoid Blog
It does seem that the locusts could have been replaced with cubes of meat and the game wouldn't have been much different.
Elitechief27's Destructoid Blog
I like how they are fleshing out the story and the charachters.
Conrad Zimmerman's Destructoid Blog
That's good, because the ending made me curious to know more about the Locust.
covah's Destructoid Blog
Its good to hear that they're focusing on the story, because in looking back Gears story SUCKED. No character development was to be had which is odd since the the core characters in the game are so distinct.

It sucks that I wasn't able to find all you guys there. My hotel wanted to me to pay $12 for 24 hours of wireless and I said hell no.
