First Gears of War 2 gameplay video on Xbox Live tonight

by Ludwig Kietzmann on May 9th 2008 5:00PM

Update: The video is up.

Man, running through a post-apocalyptic city and sticking a chainsaw into anything that moves is just the perfect thing for a Friday night. That being said, we've decided to stay in this evening and watch the first Gears of War 2 gameplay footage instead. If you want to catch a glimpse of all the testosterone-driven, monster-shooting madness promised in Epic Games' sequel, all you need is an Xbox 360 and enough dexterity to find the trailer on the Xbox Live Video Marketplace. Well, we suppose you'll need an internet connection too. Also, electricity.

Those of us lucky enough to possess computers (and internet and electricity) can also find the video on 1UP at 10:30PM PST -- that's a full 30 minutes before it gets to Xbox Live. When the embeddable Gamevideos clip becomes available at around the same time, we'll be sure to stick it up on Joystiq. We're staying in tonight, remember?

Marcus Fenix will shoot up some Chilean Bullshark Testosterone before going into battle this time.

Ah, stupid countdown clock was going by my (UK) time, rather than the US time. I thought it'd be up by now, but apparently it won't be up for another 4-5 hours.

Screw this, I'm going to bed. I'll watch it in the morning.

"Only on Xbox 360"

(until 6 months later where a better looking and more complete version comes out on the PC)

Not fooling me this time MS. I am not "beta" testing this game again for the PC folks for $60.

GOW is soooooo overrated...The character designs are ridiculous, and the game's pacing is horrible... It's just shoot, shoot some more, turn a corner, shoot some more..There is no tension at all!!!!

It's also gonna be on Spike TV's gametrailers tv tonight

Gears hasn't left my disc trey since November 2006. Epic is going to follow up on their promises of 2 being better in every way because they are a no bullshit developer.

My applause to you FenixKnight for you took all those words from my mind before me. People who put down Gears can't even comprehend the depth of the game and what they're talking about.
