2nd biggest game of the year, and the best looking game on a console this year, I predict.

1.5? Lets be honest, you can't really expect them to totally overhaul the gameplay. It's a sequel, not a totally new game, of course it'll play the same. I guess we should call super mario 3 super mario 2.5?

I don't understand the logic of why a game sequel demands new gameplay. Film sequels don't demand a radical new formula, just a new new script, new actors and new setpieces. Sometimes they're even better than the first!

Saying that, Terminator 2 was pretty far removed from the original and all the better for it.

Look at me! I can eat my own words!

What exactly do you want? it's the 2nd game EVER in a series that's not even 2 years old yet, but you want a revolutionary change within the series already?

Get a grip, eh?


People who say such things are idiots. The reason for this is the fact that it's called "Gears of War" anything means it will share most of it's gameplay traits with other games in the series (or in this case, game)

Hey I didn't say a sequal demands new gameplay elements, I am just stating how I think its going to turn out.

I hope they dont change much, I loved the first gears and like Xerx3s said, I already have plans for a Co-op sesh.

This is a counter to the Killzone 2 re-emrgence at playstation day, i expect sony to release a 720p killzone 2 gameplay video after the Gears 2 gameplay video.

Let the inevitable comparisons begin. ;)

"Difference is Gears is a good series"

One game is not a series. And when you take away the gameplay mechanic they lifted from Kill.Switch all you have left is mediocrity.

Not really, if you take away the gameplay, you're left with some of the most incredible visuals to ever grace a home console, in context I don't see how that's mediocrity?

Looking at the concept art it's certainly not going to be a copy of the first game that's for sure.

You must lead a very sheltered life and own a bargin basement PC if you thought those visuals were "incredible".

"Gears of War 2 is due out in November exclusively on Xbox 360"

...until it gets ported to the PC that is. I wish MS would stop porting over/releasing at the same time all their great exclusives to PC (Halo series, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Fable). If they didn't do that, then more people would probably buy a 360.

also TagemandBagem:

he said "you're left with some of the most incredible visuals to ever grace a home console"

...he said nothing about PCs

I'd love a kill.switch sequel. I picked the original up off eBay a couple months ago and really enjoyed it - it was flawed and too short but a good, solid game, and utterly deserving of a sequel.

No offence intended but you must just be a tad bit dunce if you don't understand the word "console" (i.e. not a PC) and the word "context" (i.e. the game looks incredible for a console game). I'm well aware that Crysis looks better than console games but again "context" comes into it, a Ferrari looks nicer than a Ford Fiesta but a Ferrari also cost a little bit more ;-)

The 360 and the Ps3 are closer to PCs than any consoles before them. Excluding the PC therefore is ridiculous. Just because a Ford Fiesta is cheap that doesn't mean any rational person would say "omg that looks incredible...for a cheap car".

Nonsense, my first car was cheap but rather nice, when people asked how much I picked it up for, they were rather impressed because I got a nice motor for a decent price, just as I'm impressed with Gears which I can play on a £160 console.

OK, look, son, there's no need to get touchy because you've basically made a rather stupid initial post and shamed yourself up. The fact is, Gears did at the time of release look pretty stunning for a console game and that was all I said. If you dispute this, you'll just look silly. So now that's cleared up, what was your point again?

I just don't get where your ferocity is coming from, I'll have a 'net fight' with you if you really want but to be honest, it's a bit pointless. At the end of the day, you believe its a good idea to compare a top end PC to a console that costs a third of the price, I don't really see the logic in that but hey, if it makes you happy dude, carry on...

Who ever said graphics make a game? Appreciating good visuals doesn't mean I think they 'make the game'. I think you and your girl friend rdexter need to make it up and stop taking out your pent up frustration on innocent standers by like my good self. Just explain to him that you didn't mean to let that other guy feltch your nads, he'll understand, I'm sure of it! Just look at his profile pic, he looks so sad and alone, have a heart and send him a cookie.

Well i can say that Killzone 2 and gears of war 2 will be shit because gameplay its boring and plain and when kids said stupids things like this: "Not really, if you take away the gameplay, you're left with some of the most incredible visuals to ever grace a home console, in context I don't see how that's mediocrity?" I know that people play this boring pieces of shit just because the graphics. FPS in consoles are boring and boring, PC shooters rule over them anytime.
