Wow, just holy freaking Wow!!! (none / 0)

A bunch of us were playing Gears all night for this FFF & didn't even get around to GTA because we were so pumped for the gameplay reveal. We just couldn't stop talking about it. Amato, Kenai, Tyrus, Robbins, Machete, Hypnos (Joeycorpse), Obijuan, and me were completely floored. Sorry, if that we couldn't open any room for the rest of the Gearheads because absolutely no one wanted to leave or stop playing. November will be one heck of an aonizing wait!

I'm a Gears Fluffer!!! Wooohhh!!!

Yeah Locust as a shield, Cutting the bodies in half with the saw, the improved graphics, the "multitude" of locusts. THIS IS GOING TO BE AN INSANE GAME.
Everyone hurry up and finish GTA4 so we can dedicate our life to GOW2!

Oh my god (none / 0)

That was insane. While the graphical improvements seem small at first, it really makes a big difference. The new lighting makes everything look so much more real.
As for the chainsaw dueling, they couldn't have done a better job with it. They drastically shortened the chainsaw animation, which makes up for the actual duel.

I know, I KNOW, Marcus just didn't use the locust as a shield and then broke his neck!!! HOLY FUCK. That was AMAZING. The New Lancer and Hammerburst look AWESOME. Oh god that was spectacular. Looks like I have to go change my pants again :[.

Dave do you know if this is (none / 0)

final production graphics or not? If your allowed to talk about that or anything, I'm not sure.
In my mind it would have to be pretty close as they have less than half a year til launch and things I would assume would be coming together. May be alittle extra polish near the end.
What do you guys thinks?

by Average on Sat May 10, 2008 at 11:40:50 AM EST

    some of the animation for the chainsaw duel. The dueling is fine, but once Marcus wins, the chainsaw just disappears from the Locust's hands. Not to mention that there wasnt any blood on the screen while he chainsawed the Locust :(
