Gears 2 gameplay video on Live Comments by Tom Bramwell

BTW I am loving this whole Killzone 2 versus Gears of War 2 fan boi argument on the horizon.

Comparing PC gaming to console gaming is rediculous, consoles dont require a mortgage to play the game at the intended detail level. Stupid argument by an obviously stupid (and overly aggressive) person.

Anyway, Gears 2: This and fightnight 4 are, for me, the best news since Gears 1 and FN3. Alongside Okami Wii it's been a damn fine week for game announcements!

P.S. Gears 2 vs. Killzone 2 is a non-event. Apart from being different game types, Killzone has no pedigree and from videos looks like it still has that sludgy control and vague hit detection that make Killzone 1 such a chore to play.

BTW gameplay is up:

Smooth, Violent, Beautiful and more Gears :)

Not up on Lived though...

...unless you're in the US. Oh look! There it is.

And it's IP locked as well.

@Mr_Dodger

a mate of mine has just downlaoded it.

Yup, it's up now :) I think they must have meant 7am GMT, cos it was 8 am BST when it arrived.

All's well that ends well :)

oh man that looks great

Holy crap! That video looks amazing, and with the Gears pedigree it will almost certainly play like a dream too! Fuck Killzone, fuck resistance, this is how next-gen shooting should be.

EDIT: Just watched. Holy crap! That looks amazing!

Looks stunning! "More badass, indeed" lol. I never used to like shooters (never got into Halo or the like) but the first Gears introduced me to the genre and there's no going back now, this new one is really brilliant looking so far!

/wants!

looks great!

but is it just me or why does the scale look all wrong, like they taken a bunch of plastic toys and stop motioned ( expertly ) them. Something to my eye looks weird and I cant put my finger on it.

Still cant wait. Visually as pleasing as Killzone 2.

The graphs are more crisp clear than before, more smooth and detail movement in everything, improved Unreal Engine 3 in general. That looks freaking great. I can't wait to get to play this game. and or fuck's shake don't let me see all those ppl bitching about how NOT good this ganme wil be just like many did about the first one... FFS its just stupid to even start that shit again.

THUMBS UP for Epic Games. Love your work guys. Fucking briliant

Looks really good, but I really rather dislike the UE3 style.

Fucking hell that's amazing. This will lead to some interesting MP scenarios. What do you do when an enemy picks up a team mate? Will you shoot him?

@Xerx3s

lol! :p Btw if my memory serves me right werent you in the sony fanbase? :O nd against GoW? o.O if not sorry. I think we even had an arguement about this game lol. ( btw havent slept since i came home drunk at 7am so dont mind me anyways )

Looks good. Nothing fantastic that blows the competition away reg. graphics but will please the fans of the first game... I'm sure I will enjoy it anyway :)

Any news reg. the length of the compaign mode this time?

The first game was great but waaay to short so I hope the sequel will be longer.

First of all, I side with myself. Second, I would never join the dark side. That's JMM's job.

/activates light sabre

Same guns, same enemies, on-rails gameplay. I'm predicting a 7/10 from EG.

@Xerxes - Is it green?

/dons cape and breathing mask

I do find it amusing people acusing you of being a Sony fanboy. It's like to some of the gamer base, there are only a few categories into which you can fall, Sony, Nintendo, or MS. It's kinda sad at the same time though.

@Xerx3s

AHAHAHAHAAH! ROFLMAO dude :p

well my bad. I do remember that jackass though! Master of malakes or something like that... ( google "malakas" :p )

the_genius, I assume you chose that name to be ironic. ;)

Anyway, you've only had 4 posts, and so far you've made no attempt to offer anything intelligent here, but instead you've chosen to act like a fanboy with your comments. Which is a shame imo, because the last thing Eurogamer needs are more fanboys. :|

But just the same.... Welcome! :)

@davisorle - Are you talking about me?

No? Xerxes meant me

Yes? You bastard titface

JMM: I was taking the piss, I thought that it was pretty obvious with my light sabre reference.

I KNOW!

I was wondering what davisorle meant with the jackass comment. I know you were joking. Seriously dude!

JMM, I'm your father.

Noooooooo!

You've ruined the whole dynamic now! ;_;

Looks amazing and if it plays as well as the first one (and there's a high chance it will) it could be my game of the year. I want to pre-order but there's bound to be a special edition and I'm a sucker for those metal boxes!

More of the same, all flash no substance. Marketing hype machine at full speed, with the full backing of Microsoft, anything can be a success.

Typical american: bigger and flashier, i don't quite game this games without a story to tell. Heard this locust/alien/terrosts crap 1000 times before, yes save mankind like bruce willis one more time.

While it looks like Gears (bit better IMO) - what pleases me even more is it certainly seems to manage a much better frame rate - in scenes where the last engine in GOW1 would have been chugging along.

Can't wait to be on a big gun emplacement mowing the hundreds of on screen characters down!

@revoltkid

It;s a 3rd ps and not fps ;p

@ Jmm whatever

dude quit bitching. and leave that "titface" cause instead of insulted i just laughted so hard lol! how old are you? We were just fucking around here. take it or leave it. And listen to your father when he is talking to you!

NickD7: Well I played Gears of War 1 and I didnt like it, so if Gears 2 is almost identical to the first, as I can see in this video (And the comments of CliffyB), I think my opinion is well justified.

Yes you are right, it does what it says. But I have the right to express my opinion about it.

@artix

yeah you do have the right even if NickD7 is also mostly right but with that atitude I can't tell you off about it too :p
the thing is that you all have an oppinion about a ganme like Gears and yet you keep saying all the possitive shit about games on PS3 like KZ2 that youhave only seen on videos which doesnt make any sence and its actually sad if you think about. And its been more than 4 years that you have been seeing shit about KZ2 no? Yet you all adore it! lol

Just watched it, although slightly more 'epic' looking in scale, it's definitely a whole lot more of the same, but as I loved the first one that's no bad thing.
At least 360 owners now actually get to fight against one of those big Brumak mofos, or whatever the hell they're called.
Wonder if the Locust will be able to use one of our guys as a human shield too.

You are all confused. I never said anything positive about KillZone 2 or the Playstation 3. I was only saying what I think of the games that are very successful because of great marketing campaigns, including those promoted by Sony.

It looks good, more epic (pardon the pun) but it is just more of the same. I enjoyed the first one and am sure I will enjoy this one as well. But I guess I am just getting jaded this gen, not much different to last gen.

@ artix

No man don't take it personally. I was reffering generally to all the rest that are included and act as stupid as i explained and should have some selfrespect and see it that way. Ofc and you can say your opinion and it's acceptable. Though since Im a person that also when he get's into the hype and gets to play a game and trus me.. im the same exact way with chicks. Im all into them till i get to have them. Then maybe even before i get to let them touch me i get freaking frustrated and drope thm. Same goes with games. Specially when there is so much hype about then. The thing with GoW is that it IS actually realy fun to play. And specially coop which is a huge factor for me and most ppl i know.

The graphs are great since the first one, since there hasn't been any other third person shooter even close to this game and i don't think you can not agree with me. right?The game play is as fluent and easy to handle as possible which is also another really big thing about a big tittle. It's not just about the big marketing anymore. Its just that the game has all the action and visuals needed for its class. Thats why most ppl love it

That looks crazy. =D

\o/

@davisorle - WTF?! You started it off by calling someone a twat, I was wondering if you were indeed talking about me. So you STFU. I think my response was perfectly justified.

The scale has been kicked up about four or five notches. Compare the amount going on in any scene from this video to the original game and it's startling.

So far I have seen nothing from SONY to match this for impact, it just looks epic.

After my 360 died & was repaired I was prepared to ditch the 360 in favor of the PS3 but I'm so glad I didn't, the PS3 is disappointing me greatly.

Why the hell is the DS3 still not in the retail PS3 box either.

Once again i am so glad I held off buying a PS3, SONY have a lot to prove to gamers.

SONY have been caught napping & still cant seem to WAKE UP.

Hint to viral marketing departments: capitalizing words in your posts makes your efforts more transparent.

@JMM

YOU are a complete MALAKAS to be exact. and im not kidding anymore. take it anyway you want you stupid fuck. I dont take accusations from anyone. Read who the fuck called you twat. That fucking word makes me laught anyhow cause im not from england and apparently english use it. i wouldnt. ive lived in US not UK. YOU BITCH. I didnt call you a twat so im justified calling you one now? fuck off. enough said. ffs i told you once. if you insist on your shit suck on em. fucktard. I dont like hearing crap from kiddos. I never even accepted something wrong from my sister when she was younger who had every right. You don't. Don't even bother replying after you check if I called you a twat or not. Stupid b**ch.

Back with the GoW2 comments! I can't wait!!!! ^^

@Bartacus

And for your great effort to not give up on it and get paid off instead of beeing from the ones that are bitching thy shall be called Spartacus :p ( instead of Bartacus lol )

some motherfs been playing too much gta. bitches.

Bartacus: But the Playstation 3 has a Blu Ray Player. Thats a big plus.

@davisorle,

Chill, chappie. When anyone actually get's upset on an internet forum (especially when they feel the need to state that they're not kidding) then it is definately time to take a break from the keyboard, get some fresh air and get some perspective on life.

Now you're just being rude.

I was enquiring as to whether you called me a jackass, not actually accusing you of anything. Learn to read Mr. American. Also, the only person Xerx3s mentioned in his post was moi, to which you replied "I remember that jackass", so clearly you were talking about me, or just being an utter retard. I'm now inclined to beleive the latter.

@artix
"Bartacus: But the Playstation 3 has a Blu Ray Player. Thats a big plus. "
No cause he wants to play not watch HD movies which still is a whole new subject. Plus how can BR be so good since you only get installation on the PS3 since its got no power to prosses the uncompressed filles on the fly from the BR disc and also in games like GTA IV not only you install it but you also fuck up your console. So tell me why exacly is BR any good for a console? o.O :p I think i made my point. Wake up you guys.. You keep givnig urselves hopes and reasons to keep proving u didnt make a mistake to pay all that shit and get a PS3. At least till it's worth cause IT MIGHT be in the future, just don't talk about things that make no sence. Its simple. PS3 is generally not worth a dime atm cause its got a couple of bullcrap of games and thats all. And about the multiplatform ones it's just their bad version on the PS3 and its a fact in most cases. So what's the point? Ok well done. you are all prepared for like how long now? 1,5 year? To all play exclusives like GT5, tekken ***, MGS4 and KZ2. Main subject the past 4 years for the whole fanbase. Am I wrong? Is it SO worth of its money? well fuck no its not. Now lets talk GoW
