The screens from the Game Informer issue look just like the first game so hopefully it looks better in motion.

Hopefully its got something new to add to the game, because if I have to play any more Gears, I need change. BURNT OUT ON THE FIRST ONE STILL.

I just watched it on Gametrailers tv and It is amazing at least what i seen was I dont know if its the same as what there showing on XBLA but what I seen was Unbelievable. I would have never thought it would look as good as it did.

It's up on the marketplace now.

To be honest it looks exactly the same graphically. Chainsaw duels are going to disappoint- Looks like its just mash the B button faster than the other guy.

Looks as expected! I'm looking forward to November.

that looked awesome! What was that pistol that marcus was using? and the fact that you can use locust as meat shields is awesome, but that will suck in multiplayer to be used as such though :)

Saturday, May 10, 2008 @ 10:54:32 AM

It looks AMAZING. Seen as though thats the campaign im guessing there are going to be some differences in the online because there are some features shown that just wouldnt work online.I just really want them to release a beta for people who get unreal tournament 3.

It looks BA. Although some features look hard to implement in multiplayer we can only wait and see what will happen.

It looks identical to the first, except with larger/more enemies and new weapons etc. and since I didn't care for the original, this one won't hype me, mainly be my "I'll get it eventually game".

Saturday, May 10, 2008 @ 04:41:50 PM

The graphics have improved in terms of detail and lighting, There is a tech demo running around that shows some of the changes. The game looks great and I'm so happy they changed the hammerburst into a semi-automatic. Can't wait

Monday, May 12, 2008 @ 12:11:56 PM

Yeah, this looks the business. Already looks a lot more epic (pun intended), like a you are part of a bigger picture, a bigger battle... Nice to see the Brumak in there, but can you imagine the outcry there would have been if it hadn't made an appearance!

If they can keep up that intensity throughout, and flesh the characters out a bit, this is going to be massive.

Fall 2008 is shaping up to be sweet!

OMFG! the same game with SEVERAL!!!!!! new guns! the first game was overhyped and what from i can tell this game is way overhyped, the only thing i liked about the origional was co-op. I guess i just dont like having to shoot something in the face with 2 magazines to take it down. on a side note this looks like halo 3; another game i didnt have any interest in playing, yep possibly more hype to it :S
