Meet the Gears of War 2 crew at NY Comic Con

by Dustin Burg on Feb 4th 2009 4:45PM

For those attending New York Comic Con, which takes place February 6-8th, know that the event will not be without a significant Gears of War 2 presence -- Cliff Bleszinski not included.

Dom Santiago voice actor Carlos Ferro, writer Joshua Ortega, writer/consultant Eric Nylund and DC/Wildstorm's Ben Abernathy will all be on hand throughout the weekend, signing autographs, schmoozing it up and hosting a special Saturday Gears 2 panel. If you're all about collectibles, NECA will be showing off the third Gears action figure series, including the too-cool 12" Marcus Fenix light-up figure. Feel free to dress up as your favorite COG / Locust character and be sure to take plenty of pictures with the celebrity Gears crew. We're almost positive they'd love to see your enthusiasm expressed through a homemade costume.

Voice talent and writers is fine, so long as the code monkies are in their office fixing the game so I can have public matches with the old lobby system from Gears of War 1 so that the game doesn't feel like a big "fuck you" from Epic anymore. 5 rounds with people you have never met and will never see again with the occasional profanity defeats the purpose of Xbox Live. Gears of War 1 was great because of it's casual online experience where you could play with a bunch for hours, get to know their play style, hone your skills and make buddies or enemies. With Gears of War 2 if you don't have an army of loyal Gears of War 2 buddies you just love to death to play with then you might as well play bot matches and save your Live subscription fee.
