OMFG! 1UP to premiere exclusive Gears of War 2 gameplay footage this Friday photo

Far be it from me to promote someone else's exclusive content (you know how selfish and monstrous we are here at Destructoid), but I figured you guys would want to know about this one.

1UP and GameVideos are promising the exclusive first footage of Epic's Gears of War 2 this Friday. In case you haven't heard, Gears of War 2 is the sequel to that somewhat popular Xbox 360 exclusive title that had all of those monsters coming out of holes and stuff. You know, the game where you could wield a chainsaw and curb stomp people? The lead designer wore a bunny suit once? Not ringing any bells, eh?

Oh well. Perhaps your memory will be refreshed on Friday at 10:30 PM PDT when the video goes live.

The red and black style of that picture makes the game seem like some sort of communist game

Are you fucking kidding me, 1up?? Score 1 for the little-big guy. Not that I give a fuck about Gears of War.

Meh. I didn't like the first game. I highly doubt I'll like the second.

I liked the first one, the end was a disappointment but it could be AMAZING this time with a little polish.

I'm really hoping for a skinny, nerdy female as a playable character. What do you say, guys? Fingers crossed?

Chester don't kid yourself, nobody's familiar with this "Gears of WaR" game or whatever....so I doubt anybody will care about this sequel...

Sharpless, no, I don't want that. Women shouldn't be in war games. It weakens the strong moments.

Sorry, ladies, but no one wants a woman in the game. She wouldn't be skinny anyway. She'd just look like this:

I'm excited about this game but I'll probably not get it. I'll still likely play it at friends house.

GT said they had the exclusive
lolz

i hope that they fix the multiplayer this time.
It was broken (ie crapola) in the first
should be good for co-op at a mates places, then again faith and a .45 should be out by then...

Actually, while I was kidding, it's already been revealed that there will be a woman in the game. I doubt she's playable, though. I forget which magazine had the info, but they had a picture of her. Marcus or Dom's girlfriend, or something like that.

@Sharpless: Yeah, the guys on the [url=http://www.destructoid.com/ny-comic-con-what-you-didn-t-miss-at-the-gears-of-war-2-panel-anything-82614.phtmlNYCC panel[/url] mentioned that Dom’s wife will play a decent role in the game.

NICE! Can't wait for this game. Don't care too much about the campaign, but I still think Gears is the best multiplayer game on 360.

I do like chainsaws, throwing grenades in holes, and testosterone. I'll have to check this out.

I'm really looking forward to this... I love the co-op in this game... easily the most amusing co-op-experience on the 360...

Hey everyone -

A few of you may know me from posting in the comments and stickam on Friday nights, but for those of you that don't me my name is Jeremy and I am the series producer of GameTrailersTV.

To clarify GTTV will air the footage first. It will be on the show on Friday night on Spike at 1:00am eastern. If you have DirecTV and live on the west coast then it will be on at 10:00pm on Friday night. Everyone else with normal cable on the west coast will have to wait until 1am PST.

1up will have the online exclusive of this footage for 30 minutes, then we will have it on GT.com.

This is 2 minutes of the single player campaign and it looks great (I cannot say anything else, sorry).

So if you want to see if first then you need to watch GTTV.


This show will also feature Ghostbusters and we have tons of new footage of the game.

1:00am is fucking saturday. Why does this have to be shown then, by 1am I'll probably be shitfaced and completely forget that this is going to be broadcast...

I loved the first one. Best use of a chainsaw ever. Here's hoping they used some other kick ass black and decker equipment attached to firearms.

This is exciting news. Although I didn't really like the first one too much. I mean, it was fun and awesome... but just didn't stick.

I just recently played and finished this game with a friend and was pleasently surprised. It was like a third person Turok but ya know...good. A little short for my liking, but amazing visuals and game play. I'm really excited for number two...ha-ha poo

Do you mean like ANY FPS multiplayer features? Ya know. Deathmatch (Slayer) Team Deathmatch (Team Slayer) Capture the Flag... those features?
