Rumor: Voice of 'Cole Train' suggests November 16 release for Gears of War 2

by Griffin McElroy { May 31st 2008 at 3:29PM }

We're usually pretty skeptical about rumored release dates as developers and publishers often keep that card close to their chests -- however, we can't help but put our complete faith in a man with a name as awesome as Lester "Mighty Rasta" Speight. Yes, Mr. Rasta, who voiced Gears of War's "Cole Train", recently made an appearance at the TriForce panel at Wizard World to shoot the breeze about the company's line of GoW-related replicas. When asked about the sequel's release date, the TriForce crew remained tight lipped, though Rasta suggested asking him again on November 16.

DS and Wii Fanboy's David Hinkle was at the panel to witness the football player-turned-actor's Q+A session, and hopes to further press Mr. Rasta to discover the accuracy of his claims. Given that it falls in the game's suggested November release window, we wouldn't be surprised if Speight's date was legit.

November should be a busy month, once again.

Look at all dat juice.

(To be honest the voices in Spanish are better than the ones in English or at least the dialogue is little better)

damnit, I can't believe I missed Wizard World Philly. It's like the only good convention that ever comes to this city.

Ok,then.

"That's four words,buddy."

This date is probably true. November has way too many games coming out for me, namely Left 4 Dead.

kavendano14 @ May 31st 2008 4:41PM

And they will delay the games JUST FOR YOU.

Neebs @ May 31st 2008 5:58PM

No, Left 4 Dead will be delayed because it's a Valve game.

But the rest will be delayed JUST FOR YOU

Thomas @ May 31st 2008 5:13PM

Nov. 16th is a sunday, i doubt they'll release it on a sunday.

SirPasta117 @ May 31st 2008 5:36PM

Lol Gears of War 1 came out on a Sunday XD

skullivan @ May 31st 2008 6:35PM

Gears of War came out on Wednesday, November 8th. I know because it was my Birthday. "Emergence Day" was a Sunday but that wasn't the release date.

It's possble MS could release it on a Sunday (Nintendo does Sunday releases all the time), it's just not likely.

@Neebs, Left 4 Dead was already delayed from August to November so I doubt it'll be delayed any further than that.
