Posted on Wed Jun 25, 2008 at 12:09:12 PM EST

GearHeads....It's here! And rather than go on and on about what 1UP and GameVideos has for us, I'll just let David do the talking. ;) Here is the link to the news story and video:

GEARS 2 MULTIPLAYER

Direct Feed from GameVideos

New Gears of War 2 Screens

"By now you've already picked up the Gears of War 2 multiplayer cover story from former 1UP editorial director Dan "Shoe" Hsu. Well, today you finally get to see the chainsaw battling, meat flag holding smorgasbord of gore in action as we go behind the scenes at Epic games with an exclusive interview with lead designer Cliff Bleszinski to discuss the evolution of the Gears multiplayer experience. If that's not enough Gears goodness for you, make sure to check out our new screenshots, and come back on Friday for the 1UP Show for an extended interview with Cliff where the questions will be asked by...you."

by rEDChief55 on Wed Jun 25, 2008 at 01:17:43 PM EST


Time for my Video review.

David, you guys did a great job!

By that I mean the following.

1)  Dan and Cliff obviously have a good and comfortable relationship.  With that said, Dan asked all the right questions.  The ones that we all have been dying to know.  I'm sure there are some that he didn't (or couldn't), but they escape me right now.

I was watching and thinking "Awesome!  He just asked about host.  Or "Sweet! they plan on re-doing Gears 1 maps via downloadables" and better Party System.  And finally (maybe most important..) The being able to be killed during an execution animation.

  1.  Your editing was terrific.  Cutting between the conversation and highlights.

  2.  The length was also surprising.  I was expecting another 2 minutes of appetite wetting.  Instead I got to settle into the interview and trust that the info we've be salivating for would come.  

Finally, thank you for including the Gearheads in all of this.  The hype coletrain is rolling and we'll keep having the good times together with Gears until the renewal in November.

ps.  That execution with the Sniper was Awesome!

"I do not tell lies, but I am a savage".

by Kenai 91 on Wed Jun 25, 2008 at 01:23:38 PM EST

All the shooting and editing was done by my hetero-soulmate Jason Bertrand. He has all the talent. I'm just there for sex appeal.

OH...MY...GOD!

The headshots look even BETTER in Gears 2!! The new curbstomp looks pretty badass, the Torque execution I couldnt really see anything going on, but the sniper execution was pretty cool as well. The fire from the Scorcher looks so real thats its mind blowing :O CANT WAIT!!

by RoBBins0096 on Wed Jun 25, 2008 at 01:29:05 PM EST

at the end it says "spacial thanks to gearheadsofwar.com"

Cliff

says that they plan on re-making more maps from Gears 1 as DLC!! C'mon Fuel Depot and Canals!

by RoBBins0096 on Wed Jun 25, 2008 at 01:50:37 PM EST


The coolest part was

the longshot execution.  Flipping your gun around and smacking someone's head off looks freaking awesome.

Although I've got to say I was surprised that I was expecting to see a little more cautious gameplay given that the bullets slow people down.  It looked like a lot of running around in the open.

I loved the crawling animation.  It looks pretty damn funny rather than just sitting there assuming the position ;-)

Oh and David, Cliff's last name is spelled WAY wrong in the description of the video.  It's Bleszinski.

Thanks for the shoutout to Gearheads at the end!

GREAT VID!!!!

First of all, Dan is an expert interviewer. Great work!

Secondly, David does an awesome job of getting all of this out to the public. From actually loading it up to GV to getting us the links quickly so GearHeads can see it right away. Plus, thanking us at the end was a class act~ THANK YOU!!!

Now to the footage!

*What Cliff says about there not really being more people in terms of networking is BS. Last game you started with 4 people. This game you start with 5 people. Regardless of when they die, in games like Execution there will be more people playing for a good chunk of the match. The networking must accommodate for this. *Guardian is genius. I love the idea of your team leader being able to keep you re-spawning. That sounds soooo fun. Meat Flag also sounds awesome.

*Cliff: "It's not this sadistic sit there for 5 minutes and saw of his head type of violence, we're not that type of game. We're very much a wham-bam-thank you ma'm type of experience" LOL~I love it.

*Downloadable Gears 1 maps is brilliant! *The different features for each map sounds cool~There's been all sorts of mention of things like this, but since Gears 1 I've been saying PUT A BERSERKER IN MULTIPLAYER! That would be rad...

AWESOME video! My personal Gears 2 hype train just took off...;)

I mean, really, are they keeping the ridiculously lame active reload sniping?  I'd love to have FFF once Gears 2 comes out without any stupid rules to try and make it fun.

Also, has anyone confirmed Execution as a game type yet?  I really like that a lot better than Warzone.

the ablitiy to crawl seems to help A LOT

where you can get behind cover where the dude can't snipe you.

But still... I Ugh'ed as well lol.

But i have so much fun with GOW 1 as it is, GOW2 will be the hot shit. I still say an active reload snipe should only make them fully red. At least it would be much more of a team based mechanic.

Still, it would be cool if AR options for each weapon were toggle-able.  We could set things up just the way we liked 'em.

gasfssad

That was a stun grenade. We're not really sure whether that is a early stick animation, he's throwing it, or if you can do different things with the stun and poison grenade than the regular one. It sure looks like he throws it and it sticks.

But that overhand

animation means he's tagging. It's the same exact one that's in Gears 1.

Nothing looks lame and they are not even done with the tweaking yet...........oh!! my.

Is AWESOME, if there is a way to get a taste of the beta I hope Epic consider us a little bit and gave us early access.......

We have been supporting GoW nonstop ever since it came out.

See you guys later

Sorry, blankman I only have a digital watch!!!!!

Awesome video

Cliff somewhat hinted at a Brumak or Berserker being present in a MP map. Now that would be awesome.

Damn you

Epic get rid of that AR snipe.  Looks great but I did see a lot of shotty work goin on I thought they were trying to go with a more distanced aproach.  Maybe Im just seeing things Ill have to watch again tho.

A bunch of us just got done playing....

Man, was everyone in a cranky mood! ;)

Still fun though~I sincerely believe the best part of Gears is the communication.  This is achieved through the pacing, ie: There is always time to chat; Not having to push anything to talk; and only having 3 other people to talk to.

is there

anywhere else I can watch those videos from "thisisgame.com"? The buffering doesn't exactly work for me and it's a real pain watching it in bits and pieces.

nvm

found them on youtube

by Elite94 on Thu Jun 26, 2008 at 12:53:29 PM EST


lmao

sorry about posting 3 times in a row, but if you watch the video where its Cliff and I think Rod, whenever Cliff demonstrates the smoke grenade stun on Rod, Rod's standing up still and when it explodes he just like falls over petrified, LMAO.

just type in

AnalogHype and click on his name, he has 3 of the vids, but make sure you watch it in HD, there should be a little button that says watch in High Quality

by Elite94 on Thu Jun 26, 2008 at 01:17:24 PM EST


Yup

Right under the # of views and the actual words 'Views' it the say "Watch in High Quality" in blue lettering. Just click that and voila! High quality picture :D
