Official Gears of War 2 hype thread

Good job but destructible enviroments isn't new for a shooting game.

Destructible Environments: In the past any destructible element in an environment was scripted or static and as a result very predictable. The result is breakable environments that aren't very realistic, and certainly not worth implementing extensively in game environments. This isn't the case any longer as a result of new destructible environment technology. Tim demonstrated this tech in a concrete structure where the surface material could be destroyed leaving behind an underlying steel structure. This would no doubt be excellent for the environments in Gears where the majority of the surfaces are concrete.

so...im expecting something new with this game

That sounds all well and good, but i still wouldn't get my hopes up. Countless developers have promised this over the years.

Its coming on Spike TV Gamehead tonight right?KillaHalo2o9

:shock:

I'm soiling myself with excitement!

They call it GameHead on Spike, but its really GT. (I'm on the west coast woot, so that means its on at 10 for me :))

I have to wait until 1:00 a.m. :(

Let's see if it can take out kill zone 2s graphical achievement but i highly doubt it seeing that footage looked really amazing for a console.

Nice to see the console graphics king is back, but to some it never left. 360 2008 is unstoppable.

Meh, thats just fanboy talk. Uncharted looks better than Gears 1 and Killzone 2 looks better than Uncharted. Now, im sitting here waiting hoping Gears 2 looks amazing. We shall see huh? But dont say anything about GEARS 2 untill we see it, thank you.

All I'm saying is that Gears was the original console graphics king, and now the sequal is coming this year, the graphics king is back. No fanboy there.

Well considering they had time to make 2 GeOW games in the time it took Gorrilla to make 1 game(Which won't even be out this year) I am more impressed by the quickness they are able to churn out high quality, visual benchmark setting games.

I don't see how Gears could be improved on in any meaningful matter, so I'm not terribly excited for what I beforehand believe to be a rather tame, samey and ultimately redundant sequel. I don't really think it needs a sequel. New IP please. One that's not about taking cover and shooting like every other game these days. One that's not about gray space marines.InsaneBasura

What? Like every other game out? Err...GRAW, R6:V and... MGS4? There aren't many games around that are about cover/shooting like you may lead people to believe. There's WAY more Run/gun games around :wink:

Have you not see the tech demos? They've made improvements accross the board. And Gears of War is a new IP, thats ironic coming from someone who is playing nothing but sequels in his "Now playing" signature proclaimation.

They showed it off in the tech demo, but yeah I understand your consern since it was a TECH demo and not a real gameplay demo of Gears 2. So hopefully the stuff shown in the tech demo can be transfered to the actual game without being toned down.

btw I plan to put a link to the page to where everyone starts talking about the video when its released so everyone doesnt have to search through a hunderad page thread to get to where people are talking about the trailer. Thats sorta didnt make sense but hopefully you understand what I mean, if not you will see in my main post once the video is released.

Some nice improvements and additions there. And giant worms! Creepy. I like it.

All that in the Unreal Engine 3.5 can be quite possible on the PC but I doubt it would be possible on the 360, maybe a scaled down version using scripted physics lolnintendog66

Well they said the improvements they make on their Engine is always done for the games they are working on at the moment, so that means they did it all for Gears of War 2. We will see tonight though so maybe we will all be pleasantly surprised.

its using euphoria? i didnt know that-nice...kirk4ever

yeah I didnt know either till just the other day.

there is only one problem-if you notice in gtaiv they have human bodies and the ragdoll effectis conveyed very nicely as you see the clothes and muscles and etc...BUT in gears everyone is big and huge in a big suit of armor all covered up like a big brick..so i dunno how euphoria will look like in gears,,,,BUT im not judging until i see it :)

Its 1 hr and 56 mins away but I will probably miss it because I keep having too pee

Geow1 is still my favorite game this gen for core gameplay and I hope geow2 rocks more socks way more socks.

Yeah it was in an article somewhere. Ill try to find it.

Oh god, the endless streams of KZ2 vs. GoW2 is almost upon us....This argument will never end because fans of whatever game will simply deny the counterpart looking or playing better.

I mean seriously, I personally say KZ2 looks better from what I see of these gears screenshots; To me Gears looks almost Identical to the first. If someone was to say "admit it mccoyca, GEARS IS TEH BEST!!!111!!" I personally Dont think it is yet I can at least admit it still has a beautiful thing about it similar to the first. This argument is going to be going on for at least one month...Im kind of dreading it seeing as how its practically subjective; One is a fps showing different angles and themes and another is a tps.

Gears of War is in now way shape or form the best 360 game I have played. But it is probably my favorite due to the awesome memories I have from playing with my friends online.yellowandmushy

Thats what I like about geow its so personal in way.

Its 1 hr and 56 mins away but I will probably miss it because I keep having too pee

Thats what commercials r for , bro.;) I agree too though. I still love playing Gears even after 1 1/2 years after its release.

I hope it does, after playing GTA4 I can easily say that euphoria is one of the best things to happen to video game physics and gameplay in general in quite some time.
