Pretty neato. I hope the multiplayer isn't completely boring anymore.

this looks the same as first one, which is fine by me because it pwned my balls and if it aint broke dont fix it. im interested in multiplayer. hopefully they throw in a party system. gears 1 was such a pain in the ass to play with friends. customizable soldiers would be nice.

It's funny how everyone is all goo goo over the trailer now. But my real concern are the following :

Is it it going to be the same as the original Gears? As in your pretty much invincible during th chainsaw animation? Will it still have the broken active reload. in which you blow something up into smitherings with the shot gun randomly? Will it have those random headshots in which someone aims at my stomach and my head blows up? Will it have a PARTY system like halo? (A party system is a must in Gears for ranked games) And most importantly, (and this is what's going to decide whether I buy the game or rent it) is it going to have host advantage. Because if it does, i will be renting it.

The only reason i didn't go through getting Seriously is because one day I was just going to throw my controller at the floor at at the amount of bullshit that was a happening. I played the crap out of the online mode in gears my gamertag is ElToRo15 if you want to check

yup... down pretty good, after a few weeks/months they always have some kinda deal on the big sellers. Not too worried, probably still be playing GTA anyhow.

Gears is getting a budget re-release this month, isn't it?

Over here in the UK though, I've noticed it's probably worth just buying games at launch. Big titles encourage a bit of price competition to begin with, and then when the rush is over stores move a little closer to RRP. I remember originally getting Gears for £35 on 'Emergence Day', and found a couple of weeks later it was in the same shop for £45! Only recently have I seen it come back down in price.

Dustin said "We're introduced to a new Lancer style weapon that shoots ammo in bursts". It looked more like an automatic lancer shotgun to me.

looks a bit better than gears 1..
damn im sad to say the 360 has reached its peak.
gears 1 used 95% power of 360
this probably uses 100%..
get ready for xbox 720 folks...

Awesome! I just hope there is more to the story and not as boring as the first game.

Another thing. For some reason I really want to know why Carmine is wearing a helmet. Is there anything special about that helmet?

I think the new rifle is actually a revamped Hammerburst from the first game and the pistol is the weapon mentioned in the Game Informer article. Gamevideos has their own analysis of the trailer as well: http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/18777

The same shady grey type atmosphere, a poor evolving story and just some more misshaped uglies to shoot to at... yaay gow2, pfff, don't waste your money on mindless ish. The only thing going for the game is that is seemed to create a sense of panic/overwhelming moments. However that is one scene, it is likely it will return to the usually ugly new system of duck and shoot blindly, ugh garbage.

If you noticed to check his profile, he posts on the Wii site.

Your PS3 bashing is lame, your assumption of him being a PS3 fanboy is lame, and you're no better than he is. Therefore, you are lame.

But yes, Gears 2 looks like it'll sell real good. As for the actual game, can't judge that until it is released. Based on the video posted, it honestly doesn't look much different than the first Gears game.

Vair, exactly what I'm saying. Im not a fanboy of anything, I just like games, but I love games that have some substance rather than how much offensive stuff and blood can we cram into it. Who knows, perhaps later videos will shed some light and maybe there will be a story with good acting behind it, but I'm doubtful >.>

Aren't sequels great, you don't have to spend much time coding the engine and can focus totally on the story and missions... yeay for sequels.
