I am quite scared.

Because what if it looks the same? I mean the story will be great and all but what if it looks the same?! I am stuck feeling like its graphical update will be disappointing. I hope I am wrong tho.

by Average on Fri May 09, 2008 at 02:21:01 PM EST


even if it looks exactly the same

It will be amazing. GOW still looks better than most games out now.

And GOW2 will look better. The comparison screens were evidence on this in GI.

What you have to realise is that your mind will play tricks on you. Since you have seen the game so much, it will be harder to see the differences.

I never saw the pics from GI

Is GI referring to Game Informer?
Yea I would hope it looks better just because the first one was so nice. Set the bar of my expectations a bit higher as well :)

Exactly as zoso said..

i think Gears 2 will have some of the same improvements halo 3 did...much larger scale and subtle graphical improvements that arent immedietely noticeable.

that said, the game informer comparison wasnt that impressive to me...(and i know it was just a simple, early example) so im excited to see what tonight will bring

I will

look better. The PC version looks noticeably better than the 360 version and that was essentially a port. Plus, gears 2 will be running on UE 3.5, not just UE 3.

lol,

I meant IT will look better.

That's ok

I think you will look better, too. In fact, I think after I see the video, everyone will look better.  Suddenly all the colors around me will be more vibrant, and the shadows... more emphasized.

In fact, I probably won't need to use

glasses anymore, my back will no longer get sore, and the scar from my appendectomy will be gone.

Im STOKED!!

by TexasTrap7 on Fri May 09, 2008 at 04:22:45 PM EST


I know

that there will be chainsaw duels and some of the larger scale battles demonstrated, but I really want to see the use of the rock worms as cover, new weapons, and if there really can be hundreds of independent enemies on screen shooting everything up in sight.  But yeah, I'll have the computer, 360, and TiVo tuning in on all the action tonight.

Oh yea!

I'm "lubing" up my Chainsaw....

Poland...

You will meet your maker, the "chainsaw" and POLANDSTYLE

by Polandstyle on Fri May 09, 2008 at 05:08:30 PM EST


Yeah, it would be you to use lube.

LOL. ;)

Hey...

I got the "His and Hers" from Aatroglide.....

The his is for me (to shine my Carmine helmet)  <-- that didn't sound right.

The "Hers" is for the Chainsaw.  Just wait blank, i will duel you and win every time.

Hey when are we going to play Gears and GTA?

I know my time has been a bit involved with my new PS3.....

LEt me know,

Poland...

by HELLFIRE V1 on Fri May 09, 2008 at 05:12:32 PM EST


Hey, I just noticed that they will

also be showing footage of the Ghostbusters game.  I hope it sucks because if it has 4 player splitscreen, and great action gameplay, I may have to break my video game purchasing fast and pick that little puppy up!

Gears is my porn.

by 3Suns on Fri May 09, 2008 at 05:51:54 PM EST


I normally don't curse, but..

I'm REALLY fucking excited for this.

REALLY.  I remember watching the counter at the top of this very site for months way back in '06; hopefully soon a similar countdown will be popping up for Gears 2 :D?

Man that seems like just yesterday..

Go time brotha

by Major Silva on Fri May 09, 2008 at 06:33:19 PM EST


I can't wait

for this game.  The GOW1 game engine is what got me into shooter on the console, and having a better looking version will just be the icing on the cake.  The only trouble is that I have just started playing number one, and by the time I get any good at it I will have to go onto number 2!

by Hollowcell on Fri May 09, 2008 at 07:52:22 PM EST


oh we can help you with that

:P
