Derrik Draven Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 This just keep getting better and better, imho. Going through this new info, it appears that Cliffy B. and his boys are really lending an air of depth and seriousness to this new I.P. I hope it kicks ass as much as it looks like it will! :rock Gears of War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 :drool Yes, it strums at the graphics whore in my heart. It was impressive to see when it was tiny, much less in full HD glory. Hopefully, if all goes will it will play as good as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 1up.com has a new preview for the game in which they cover its progress now that they have moved it onto the final development kits. You can read the full preview here: http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3143680 Answering those critics, just before this year's Tokyo Game Show, Microsoft and Epic invited us to check out the game -- running on the newly unleashed final Xbox 360 development kits. And it looks better than it did at E3. Not drastically better (or even drastically different, given that the level they showed was one of the levels that was shown at E3), but for those worried about the company not being able to produce the same level of quality in the visuals, this undeniably shows that the game will look that good (or better, if Epic is to be believed). In the demo we checked out, the characters and environments looked just like they did at E3, but other minor details were improved, such as the nice dramatic motion blur effect when you turn quickly and the polished look of the line that shows up when you aim to throw a grenade (which now looks futuristic). The framerate appears to be improved on the E3 version as well, and though it's still not 100% perfect in all areas -- the game doesn't come out until 2006, after all -- it's clearly well within reach and we don't see the occasional hiccups showing up in the final version at all. Glad to hear they are already seeing framerate improvements and the game is look even better.:tu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 IGN has some more stuff about Gears of War. They watched CliffyB play some of the game. Its too bad this is not a launch title. The best news yet.... ONLINE CO-OP. Better yet. a friend can join even if your in the middle of a game alone. WOOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 ONLINE CO-OP. Better yet. a friend can join even if your in the middle of a game alone. WOOT :rock Sounds awesome. This along with recent news that Perfect Dark will include an online mode (perhaps playable online) makes me very happy indeed. Still a bit disappointed that Call of Duty will have no such mode though. If Bungie releases Halo 3 without an online coop mode in '06, I will personally throw burning monkeys at thier headquarters.

JoeyN Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah Halo 3 better have on-line co-op. Its the one series of games i enjoy the single player story mode a lot more then the multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Online co-op was part of Gears of War from the get-go. Epic announced four player online co-op at E3. It was my understanding they were designing the game as if 4-man co-op teams was the standard gameplay mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah, I remember hearing about coop being a big target point for the developers. I thought it was local coop though. First I've heard of the online mode. Of course I've not made an effort to follow much of the game aside from some screenshot viewing/movie watching since it's still a ways off.

exile Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Dumb Question: What kind of game is it? Action? Shooter? The screenshots and articles don't seem to clarify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 IGN calls it a 3rd person tactical shooter. I read the article in GI a while back, and the plot is set on Earth after decades of war has ravaged the planet. All of a sudden a new enemy starts popping out from deep inside the Earth's crust. So the battle is now against these new monsters. Carlos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrik Draven Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Thanx for the link, Bendak. That game is looking DAMN sweet! :tu I am glad to see that it's not non stop run-n-gun but, there seems to be a little bit of exploration involved. With graphics as nice as those, exploration; ie being given enough time to check out those nice graphics, seems like a good idea instead of just constant mayhem. Maybe Halo III won't be the game that makes me get a 360. It may be this one, depending on which one comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yep. GoW is pretty much the game I bought my 360 for... Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeyYankee Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Thanks for the link:tu The game looks amazing! I thought I read that it got pushed back to around July, can't wait though. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdForged Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I think this will be a fun title and likely a technical showcase. I'm definitely looking forward to trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Another link to the demo from Zero Hour. It's shaky cam footage but it's pretty steady and shows the game off well. The game looks like a combination of Ghost Recon like tactics with horror elements, and some absolutely drop dead gorgeous visuals. The developer showing the demo comments that the version he is playing was polished from the older builds in only two weeks of having the final development kit for the 360. He also notes that they expect the final game to have double the framerate shown, which is mighty impressive as the game looks extremely playable from the footage alone.

bendak Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I love how powerful the guns feel (even from this cam footage) and I can see myself doing a lot of blind shooting just cause it looks so cool. Oh, and that low shaky cam angle when you run quickly across an open area is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
