Continuing their in-depth look at the components that make up Gears of War 2, Epic released a new video featurette (it's exclusive to Eurogamer for the time being) taking a look at the enemies of Gears 2. And we'll be the first to say that we're in for some new crazy detailed and totally badass Locusts as is evident by the Locust Palace Guard seen above.
The six minute video is an interesting look into the design, inspiration and creation process behind the Locusts including a detailed description of the new Tickers, Palace Guards, Kantus, and our friend the Skorge. It's another well produced video that you should view ... like right now. Pro-tip: Watch towards the end, when Cliff give real-life comparisons between RAAM and Skorge. It's epic.

So now they have a character that looks like an alien, and a character that resembles the predator, what's next? A face"hugger"?

They've pulled together a lot of influences into the art direction, even on the first game. Kryll are a straight rip-off of the aliens from Pitch Black. Skorge feels less like a predator to me than something Brom would have painted back in the 90s.

Were the singing guys wearing hats? They looked like Nazi-style caps or something like that. It looked awesomely evil.

Just HOW AWESOME is this sequel going to be??!?!?
I'm as pumped up for this as I was the original. I might just be standing in line at midnight for this (which I've only ever done for Halo3...I didn't even do it for the first Gears).
