  • dlinn, on 05/10/2008, -23/+13It's in HD if you download the clip or watch the larger format.
  • mark076h, on 05/10/2008, -41/+10those flying things look just like the ones from Crysis
    • trogdorBURN, on 05/10/2008, -3/+47except gears of war one featured them first. reavers.
    • maxsunset, on 05/10/2008, -5/+72But really, they're just like the sentinels from the Matrix...
      • gwolf, on 05/10/2008, -12/+6Those were mechanical, these are organic.
        Anyhow I am stoked for this one.
    • UtopiaInTheSky, on 05/10/2008, -12/+2Who dares mention a PC game in an Xbox360 comment section?! Buried immediately!
    • zapass, on 05/10/2008, -18/+3Complete Matrix rip-off mixed with some Republican Space Rangers, LOL!
      It's so blurry and wooshy washy... good thing cuz the 12 polygons in the background have very lo rez textures.
      Gears of Wank 1.1 is so burried by Killzone2, it's not even funny to compare!
      • choopie911, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9Holy fanboy...
      • gfnw, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Just like Killzone 1 destroyed Halo right? You know, like it was touted to do up until release when people realised it was *****?

        Yeah. Killzone 2, I'll believe it when I see it.
  • RcHer, on 05/10/2008, -22/+9Holy crap, wish I had a boomshot for all of those Locusts.
  • trogdorBURN, on 05/10/2008, -27/+11DO WANT
    • enderwiggen16, on 05/10/2008, -2/+1Why are you getting buried, and the guy on the bottom is getting dugg up? Whatever.
    • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -2/+4Let's try to form complete sentences, brah.
  • maxsunset, on 05/10/2008, -44/+28***** EPIC.
    • NaziHatinChimp, on 05/10/2008, -12/+43Uh oh guys! There it is! Took someone 6 comments this time to say how EPIC this game is. He could have came up with something original but nope he knew all the guys on digg would gives ole EPIC the thumbs up. Seriously is this guy 13?
      ***** it from now on I am putting ***** EPIC in all my comments.
      • mattcoady, on 05/10/2008, -0/+26Maybe he's upset with the company who makes it.
    • hinmanj, on 05/10/2008, -7/+10I'm not sure if you mean it's gonna be amazing... or... if you hate epic. I think I'll take it for the negative way, because, well, ***** Epic.
    • dr3minem, on 05/10/2008, -19/+2Chill, the joke is that Epic develops the game

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gears_of_War

      I hope thats what i was saying anyways
      • maxsunset, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2duh... oh well, apparantly half the digg commmunity is retarded and didnt get the play on the overuse of epic/epic games...
    • grumbel, on 05/10/2008, -13/+8More like ***** linear. I have never been a fan of those mission where you ride a train, car, truck, whatever and basically just stand there and shoot things, removing basically any real character movement from the gameplay.
      • bagboyrebel, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2it's one level, not the whole game. They were just trying to show off how the game plays.
    • suspid, on 05/10/2008, -5/+3No sir, it was your comment that was ***** EPIC.
      • suspid, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Wow, you don't put '/sarcasm' at the end of a comment and people on digg don't get you. Wow
  • sweatyyeti, on 05/10/2008, -13/+101You can get it on the 360 marketplace also
    • Failchan, on 05/10/2008, -4/+42What's wrong with you morons Digging him down? It IS available on the 360 Marketplace.
      • theaceoffire, on 05/10/2008, -39/+3Is it free? If not, how many points?
        • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -1/+16why the ***** would they charge for a game video. they NEVER have before.
          • theaceoffire, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Why the ***** should they charge for wallpaper?
    • vacuum2440, on 05/10/2008, -7/+1
      haha
    • AreTooDeTo, on 05/10/2008, -18/+6i can't. i got red-ringed.
      • defaultdigger, on 05/10/2008, -0/+11You shouldn't walk through the park at night then.
  • Ocelot13, on 05/10/2008, -30/+7youtube link for if gametrailers doesnt work for you

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=DIgIyAbKP-c

    (overall, looks like ill be getting it when it comes out... gow1 was fun to do coop with a friend, this can only be better...hopefully)
    • Failchan, on 05/10/2008, -21/+3Why is he being Dugg down? Obviously the 360 fanboys have discovered the rating buttons...
      • chazuk, on 05/10/2008, -5/+15How many ***** times am I going to read "Why is he being dugg down" from you? People have their reasons for a thumbs up or down so don't ***** complain about it if someone disagrees with you.
        ***** live with it.
      • JudgeMonkey, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4And if he took a damn second to check the video posted, he'd know why.
    • cvrti5, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1^ Rickroll
  • sweatyyeti, on 05/10/2008, -22/+5You can get the trailer on the 360 marketplace right now. It doesn't look that much different from GoW1 to me, except how everything is flying.
    • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6have you even played Gears Of War?
  • DanteDefiance, on 05/10/2008, -19/+235Did...did I just get laid?
    • caralosm, on 05/10/2008, -13/+4...I've got a boner- McLovin
      • crazycracker911, on 05/10/2008, -17/+3Sounds like you're a card carrying queer to me...hehe..alright..NO IT"S NOT ALRIGHT! JK to all of the anal dwelling butt monkeys out there.
        • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1you've gotta be *****' kidding me?!?
      • AmICoolNow, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2There's a time and a place for quotes, my friend.
    • MalkyMalc, on 05/10/2008, -1/+9If you did it was by a COG. Nasty.
      • JGib, on 05/10/2008, -2/+15Or you were just OGC ur self
        • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -3/+3"ur" is not a word and means nothing. stop typing like you're retarded.
        • h4mx0r, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3COG made you OGC?
    • aguitarhero, on 05/10/2008, -4/+43You are a digg user, so no...
      • mojaam, on 05/10/2008, -3/+4I haven't been reading digg comments in months yet I knew these type of jokes still exist and they are still funny.
    • Unriggable, on 05/10/2008, -6/+4Yeah, I think I just came.
    • vacuum2440, on 05/10/2008, -8/+3of course not...you're a digger silly
    • VinnieDaMac, on 05/10/2008, -3/+6well....it's probably the closest you'll ever get to being laid, so I guess so.
    • domokunt, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3No, but thats what it feels like.
    • ritzcracker, on 05/10/2008, -3/+2/JIZZ
    • megamod, on 05/10/2008, -7/+2WTF??? What does digging have to do with getting laid?????
      I'm a f*cking digger and I just got LAID SO SCREW YOU!!!
      NERDS can get laid too you know...just look at Kevin Rose, he's a P!MP
  • leebo, on 05/10/2008, -22/+8"exclusively for the xbox 360" Isn't that what they said for the first one too?

    Regardless, Did you see all those locusts?!?!?!
    • vivalagoat, on 05/10/2008, -12/+6ummm...the first one IS an xbox 360 exclusive...
      • Failchan, on 05/10/2008, -23/+15Then why do I have a copy of the PC version right next to me? ***** 360 fanboys...
        • methos75, on 05/10/2008, -4/+13Its not a fanboy thing, most tend to see the Console and PC as two different entities. If MGS4 was ported to the PC, most would smartly still refer to it as an PS3 exclusive, because they would see the Console version as the one to get. I am a console gamer only, I could care less what is ported to the PC, all I care about is what console each game is exclusive to.
          • YoctoYotta, on 05/10/2008, -2/+3This game is exclusive to the 360 until a PC version is announced. Just like how the Metal Gear Solids were "exclusive" to the PS systems until they were re-released on the Xbox and Gamecube. Final Fanstasy VII was exclusive to the PlayStation until it was released on the PC. Gears of War was exclusive to the Xbox 360 until it was released on the PC
          • RedS0x, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3I think you mean COULDN'T care less.
        • RedS0x, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1I hate the digg comment system, and I can't wait for the new one.
      • MattQC, on 05/10/2008, -1/+5Exclusive does not mean forever exclusive.. look at gta3, san andreas and vice city.. all PS2 exclusives yet they have all been release on PC.
        • 1807, on 05/10/2008, -2/+5and X-box....so much for exclusive...the only one who is getting excluded from GTA is Nintendo lol.
          • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2nintendo is very happy sleeping in the bed they've made. nintendo hasn't been about graphical achievement since the SNES. every system they've released since then was behind the times, graphically speaking.
        • Sethbacca, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2And Xbox for that matter.
    • BlackKnight6, on 05/10/2008, -2/+8It is exclusively on the 360 in the console market. I don't know why most people cant get that through their head. The main competition is with the PS3 and Wii so showing its not on those consoles EVER is the point.

      They release it later on the PC to capture more sales for the investment in the game they made for those who do not own a 360; that way never giving sales to Sony or Nintendo by releasing the game on those consoles. Also it is to hope that a PS3 or Wii owner that has a PC buys Gears and likes it alot and wants to purchase a 360 now for future exclusive games that come out much sooner on the 360. Its a business strategy.
  • santasing, on 05/10/2008, -27/+10The battles look bigger, that's for sure. But it kinda feels like GOW 1.5, same old pop in/pop out shooting etc. But the battle looked good.
    • vivalagoat, on 05/10/2008, -16/+5You have no idea sunshine. Keep playing your PS3
      • theaceoffire, on 05/10/2008, -2/+5"You don't like my game's video, so you must not use my console!"
    • imikedaman, on 05/10/2008, -2/+27You're right, this current idea of evolving and refining the mechanics of the previous game will never work. What we need is something new... something different...

      ...like a mini golf game! Golf of War they'd call it. The goal of the game will be to punt the resonator down one of 18 emergence holes in as few shots as possible, and you're rewarded style points for bouncing it off the Locusts. Marcus Fenix's catchphrase will be "looks like I just shot a birdie... LITERALLY!!!1"

      Ah crap, now I need to go change my pants. Also, is Epic Games looking for a new game designer?
      • theaceoffire, on 05/10/2008, -3/+5I would buy this.
      • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -5/+2In your scenario, it is clear that neither you nor Marcus Fenix know what the word "literally" means.
    • bagboyrebel, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1So are you saying that a sequel should be an entirely different game?
  • LimeParrot, on 05/10/2008, -7/+154LMAO, dead locust used as a shield!! great idea =D
    • theaceoffire, on 05/10/2008, -1/+57Think he was alive (Since he snapped his neck)
    • KingLeo, on 05/10/2008, -1/+11Yeah he was alive. He never fell all the way down, he was kinda on all fours when Marcus grabbed him.
    • Dgen_X, on 05/10/2008, -4/+7Marcus Fischer ftw!

      Or does Sam Fenix sound better?
      • deepvirus, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Exactly! That was the first thing that came to mind!
        Splinter Cell et al. It does add a bit more dynamic to the game play.
        Not just curb stomping or chain sawing! Plus it gives you mobile cover, not just stationary cover.
    • rm17, on 05/10/2008, -6/+1i'm sorry, but how practical is that really going to be???
      • BlackKnight6, on 05/10/2008, -1/+11With the pace of GoW gameplay and its cover system, its basically moving cover, its actually useful.
    • AmICoolNow, on 05/10/2008, -8/+2Yes, because no game has ever used that before.
    • ergobliss, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1yes a great idea indeed, it didn't work too well in Metal Gear Solid 2 but it was cool anyway. looks like it's much more refined in GoW2.
  • drudometkin, on 05/10/2008, -28/+13I had 3 Xboxes break while playing gears of war. Bad memories.
    • dansmeek, on 05/10/2008, -1/+5well gears of war 2 will go for double that. say goodbye to 6!
    • Myonosken, on 05/10/2008, -2/+2What the hell were you doing to break 3 xboxes whilst playing 6 hours of gameplay?

      Oh I forgot, you're trolling.
  • dobbinmon, on 05/10/2008, -19/+5Liked the idea of many locust on the screen at once, but they didn't seem to be that intelligent - some were facing the wrong way
    • MalkyMalc, on 05/10/2008, -3/+20It's months before release man, it'll be full of bugs.
      • AzureRise, on 05/10/2008, -3/+5I have bug spray if they need it. Someone tell Cliffy I have bug spray.
  • Varz, on 05/10/2008, -2/+150lol, some people are complaining that it's like the first GeOW, no ***** dur, it's a sequel not a new franchise.
    It's like someone complaining that all GTA games are the same.
    • 1807, on 05/10/2008, -21/+1They are kind of similar...
    • Skanadian, on 05/10/2008, -29/+5Well, each GTA game introduced new stuff. GoW2 introduced the chainsaw gun - AGAIN.
      • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6sorta stupid to use the past tense for a game that hasn't been released yet.
      • bagboyrebel, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3gameplay has been refined, the story will be continued, the technology has been advanced, and I'm sure we'll see some more additions with time. Complaining that the chainsaw is still a big part of the game is stupid because that gun is pretty much the iconic gun of GoW.
    • equinoxChild, on 05/10/2008, -3/+15yeah, its hard to beat a machine gun with a ***** chainsaw! that was epic.
    • GeoBjorn, on 05/10/2008, -7/+11ya but GTA grows markedly with each new title, the change from GTA2 to GTA3 is like night and day
      • Quicksilver4648, on 05/10/2008, -3/+18Compare GTA 3 to GTA: Vice City. Yeah, planes and boats were introduced but not much else.
      • GeoBjorn, on 05/10/2008, -3/+11Vice City is basically an expansion pack
      • AmICoolNow, on 05/10/2008, -7/+3Vice City was terrible in my opinion.
    • Quicksilver4648, on 05/10/2008, -0/+15I agree, I don't see how we can fully compare two games when all we have seen is a 2 minute clip of one.
    • mcdropkicker, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2***** yeah. Stick with what you know and everyone loved, and then build from there.
    • BlackKnight6, on 05/10/2008, -2/+13You guys do realize all you have seen is a couple of minutes of gameplay only right? Who knows what you haven't seen.

      I LOVE GTA4 but it took a step backwards in alot of things too, no more character building, car customization, less car and guns, etc...still a great game!
      • MillionsLivio, on 05/10/2008, -4/+9The character building in San Andres was pointless and annoying, it was a very wise move to remove it.
      • Qumahlin, on 05/10/2008, -3/+7Most of the things you mention being removed, were removed due to the player feedback about how it was useless and they would rather more game substance then tacked on customization.
        • BlackKnight6, on 05/11/2008, -2/+1Less cars and less gun variety and remove car customization a good thing? I can understand the character building being gone but I think its the opposite of what you said. Most of what I said shouldn't have been removed. The more the better; you can't tell me you don't notice the same cars over and over again in GTA4. The gun selection is pretty damn small, 10 guns (5 really, 2 of each class), an rpg, grenades, Molotov cocktails, a bat and knife, I think that's it...
    • drakethegreat, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4Except theres new bad guys and game style play but they kept all the kickass features from the old one so those guys can go ***** themselves and create a circle jerk of the 5% of gamers not buying this.
  • Sparky20k, on 05/10/2008, -6/+75The sheer scale of GoW 2 looks like it's going to easily surpass that of GoW 1. Bring it on!!

    Also, is that a new weapon I see?!
    • trogdorBURN, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8looked like a couple new ones...some sort of single shot rifle and then a locust pistol thing?
      • MattSkiX13, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5Gorgon Burst Pistol, Hammer Burst rifle, and poison grenades. Game Informer (May 2008 issue) did a review on GoW2. its a good article, check it out.
        • dougbarrett, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1If it isnt out yet, wouldn't it be a preview?
    • antiorblkflag9, on 05/10/2008, -5/+1Meh...
    • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4Good thing you haven't seen enough to make such a foolish reactionary comment.
      • bagboyrebel, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1the tech demo they released a while ago proves that they are at least capable of a larger scale.
  • CrudeDarkness, on 05/10/2008, -2/+31I hope the boss battles are harder this time around.
  • MalkyMalc, on 05/10/2008, -2/+163Holy *****. Makes Gears of War look like Gears of Limited Skirmish.
  • segiterrus, on 05/10/2008, -5/+16OMG, Marcus grabbed the locust!!!!!!!!!!!
  • mikephimikephi, on 05/10/2008, -35/+260I bought a PS3 for Grand Theft Auto last week.
    After watching this trailer, I think I bought the wrong console.
    • vivalagoat, on 05/10/2008, -15/+62amen
      • Failchan, on 05/10/2008, -49/+4How much are you being payed by Microsoft?
        • AzureRise, on 05/10/2008, -2/+302 dollars and a popsicle! mmmmmmmmm. I sure love dem popsicles!
    • WhyteclouD, on 05/10/2008, -23/+9rather surprised you didn't get buried by the fanboys for that comment.
      • ace429k, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4"...gonna dig me a hole gonna fill some mud in it, gonna dig me a hole, gonna fill some mud in it..."

        gotta sing it like an old man without teeth.
    • friendlyman, on 05/10/2008, -10/+13i concur :(
    • happytedium, on 05/10/2008, -29/+15I have a 360 and I'm getting a PS3 for MGS4 and FF13 so I wouldn't worry about it.
      • nmessick, on 05/10/2008, -14/+5spending $600 for two games... ??
        • theaceoffire, on 05/10/2008, -19/+6How many spent just as much for Halo 3? Then had their consoles break?
          PS3 is a better investment. At worst, you get a high def player.
          • gwolf, on 05/10/2008, -3/+4Not trying to corner the stock market, just want a console with good games. Personal electronic devices are not an investment, they are for entertainment. Do you really think your PS3 won't ever be surpassed by some new technologies shortly, think again.
          • theaceoffire, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1My point is, when games cost $60 a pop and consoles cost $400 and more, you want a console that is going to last for as long as possible...

            People who bought a PS1 got new games all the way up until the PS3 was released, 10 years. People who bought an Xbox did not get that option.
        • happytedium, on 05/10/2008, -3/+4Not two. I'll buy plenty more games. I'm just waiting for MGS4.
      • danwallace, on 05/10/2008, -11/+22Oh joy. Another tired FF game.
      • FutureGuy, on 05/10/2008, -4/+14I am waiting out for FF9923455311233355395
        • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4I heard it supports 73 moogle simultaneous co-op mode!%32!446t
    • selfdisplaced, on 05/10/2008, -17/+5just get GoW 2 for PC when it comes out? It's pretty much going to happen...I mean most "exclusives" for 360 are only really timed exclusives, then they come out for PC.
    • dansmeek, on 05/10/2008, -20/+5or just play the game on a friends console. the single player is where its at in Gears of War, and the campaign usually is between 8-16 hours. besides, it's just one game. you'll have LBP and Resistance 2 which are probably both better than GoW2.
      • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -2/+1Resistance? really. *****. I've never heard anyone with half a brain cell compare resistance to gears of war favorably.
    • Malarie, on 05/10/2008, -19/+4ANNNND another shooter... One thing is for sure, MS just got what could save them: A new Halo.
      • DarkSideWRX, on 05/10/2008, -1/+10I wasn't aware Microsoft needed "saving"...
    • AlxRymnd914, on 05/10/2008, -11/+3i hope this calms your nerves http://www.globalstudio.com/cody/killzone-reload.g ...

      dont worry there are good games for both platforms.....im lucky enough to own both.
      • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4Yeah, I heard from a friend that you are like totally awesome!
    • FutureGuy, on 05/10/2008, -5/+12I hope you saved the receipt.
    • AvidPreatorian, on 05/10/2008, -19/+5ps3 is the best console this year, gears will be out on pc. im not sure how that's an exclusive since i have a ps3 and i play gears and bioshock - just a matter of a few months filled with MGS4, Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet.
      • pigducksheep, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3Killzone 2 .... when? i have no idea.. but it's coming.
        • AvidPreatorian, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1February '09 and I didn't mention it. I'm not looking forward to it since it's too far but if you play that way then we can talk about Final Fantasy, Twisted Metal, and God of War - all PS3 exclusive.
    • VinnieDaMac, on 05/10/2008, -7/+38Ideally, you should have both, but if you can only afford one, I would get the 360.
      • FearLess77, on 05/10/2008, -15/+5Ideally, you shouldn't be stupid and buy both.
        Get a PC.
        • Millsee, on 05/10/2008, -8/+3Why would I want a virus ridden lump of ***** in my house when I could just get a console that always works?
          • FearLess77, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Once again, it boils down to you being stupid. Stupid people get viruses.
        • DavidGX, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Enjoy gaming with your photoshop controllers.
    • Betrayer, on 05/10/2008, -15/+6You have a PC so you should be OK with GOW2, altho you will have to wait 6-12 months for the PC version.. you made the correct choice on your console!
      • zspade, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3But a PC than can run it? gl.
        • UtopiaInTheSky, on 05/10/2008, -2/+1Oh please, the first GOW ran like a dream even on a mid-range PC. The problem is that you have to wait a year for the game to be ported.
    • azntzouie, on 05/10/2008, -9/+3I'm going to have to agree and say that as a very happy owner of Gears for the PC, GoW2 should be worth waiting for when it comes out on the PC.
      In the meantime, get yourself hyped for LBP and MGS4.
    • Mikhail101, on 05/10/2008, -9/+15Why would you get the PS3 one when it is bugged and has no achievements and somewhat lesser graphics, you might as well gone for the 360 one.
      • shinythingy, on 05/10/2008, -9/+5oh no, no achievements!!!!!!
      • Managua8Green, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4SUICIDE IS MY ONLY OPTION!!!!!!!!!!!
      • pigducksheep, on 05/10/2008, -5/+7Achievements are the gayest thing.. atleast we dont have to pay microsoft to play online.
      • marksands07, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2blu ray blu ray blu ray!
    • AmICoolNow, on 05/10/2008, -3/+10The general consensus is that the 360 is a better buy. If it took this to demonstrate that to you then you've been blind.
    • mojaam, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8I've been out of gaming since my high school days up until recently... I shelled out almost $500 for a 360 because of HALO 3, UT3, GoW and now Gow2. I think I made the right decision for the time being.
    • pigducksheep, on 05/10/2008, -3/+2i own a ps3, but it would be great to have both systems. GoW is a great game, a lot better than Halo. Don't forget about MGS4, Killzone 2, and resistance 2 on the ps3. As multiplayer experience goes, the best of it is on warhawk.
    • Evi1d33d, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1It's gonna come to PC anyways, how my 360 exclusives are actually exclusives?
  • dheaddy, on 05/10/2008, -4/+30The scale of that fight was huge, that's something I really wanted to see more of in the first game.
    Other epic things included the chainsaw duel, new weapons and best of all using a dead locust as mobile cover! I can't wait to see how that works on in multiplayer!
    • kahjah, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3It wont work in multiplayer, i doubt a human would stop shooting you just because your holding a body.
      • bagboyrebel, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1If there was a penalty for friendly fire it might, plus the fact that if they stick to the style of the first game there will only be 4 people per team, I'm pretty sure you would want them to stay alive as long as possible.
  • Axealot, on 05/10/2008, -3/+38Dugg for chainsaws
    • evil-doer, on 05/10/2008, -1/+9that saw the locust in half.
      • AzureRise, on 05/10/2008, -1/+23Why can't I uncheck the check box by your name? Why...why!?
        • xyqxyq, on 05/10/2008, -2/+10I don't want to apply this option! What the heck does "by evil-doer" 6 hours ago mean?
          • AzureRise, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3It's changed to 10 hours ago. Oh god. This legally binding contract is dynamically changing!
      • EvilFerret, on 05/10/2008, -1/+5Have to admit, I tried to uncheck it too..... "Hmm...I know it's just his icon, but maybe......." :(
    • iChainsaw, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Yeah me too.
    • rpgamer5000, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2I Dugg for the nipples
    • domokunt, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Tell ID thats how you do chainsaws.
    • hammerpants, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2DUELing chainsaws! *primal scream
  • Pinmonkey555, on 05/10/2008, -16/+3Why can't I help but feel this was all just flashy crap which is only in one level or not in the game at all? (Halo 2 E3 demo) Regardless it looks sick and just plain fun.
  • Startemus, on 05/10/2008, -10/+37Damn it. Now I have to buy a 360.
    • Pulp, on 05/10/2008, -14/+9Naw, this'll hit PC eventually. I mean, what good good 360-exclusive hasn't?
      • lcmatt, on 05/10/2008, -1/+17Microsoft own both gaming platforms so its still exclusive in a way.
        • BlackKnight6, on 05/10/2008, -3/+5Somebody who understands exclusive, final-*****-ly. Meaning its exclusive from other console competition.
          • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1I'm pretty sure you don't understand what exclusive means. Exclusivity is only in regards to the initial release, where the game gets most of its money. These games could be released on PS3 in six months and it still would've been an exclusive release.
      • estvir, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Lost Odyssey, Table Tennis, Eternal Sonata and some others.
      • Goblin, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Forza, PGR and Crackdown off the top of my head.
      • Varz, on 05/10/2008, -3/+2Haha, I brought the original for PC and I couldn't even complete the game as it was so buggy. It crashed in the same spot every time even after installed the latest patch, I pretty much wasted $100 on a game. Needless to say I won't be risking my money on the sequel if a PC version is released. Just go with the 360 version at least you can be sure it'll actually work.
        • Muncher, on 05/11/2008, -1/+4You wasted $100? On a $50 game?
          • Varz, on 05/11/2008, -1/+1Um no, you know everyone is not from America, were I live new release games generally cost $100.
          • Muncher, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2In any case, you didn't waste US$100, which is what the vast majority of diggers would have assumed when they read your post.
          • Varz, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Oh so everyone is supposed to accommodate Americans? Get over yourself moron.
      • DavidGX, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1And it'll run like *****. Enjoy gaming with your photoshop controllers.
    • b4db0y, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2I need to go get myself a HDTV first
  • superkickstart, on 05/10/2008, -31/+7Run, duck, cover, run, duck, shoot, duck. Repeat that until the game finishes. Gow1 got boring very fast and i dont think that this "sequel"is going to change anything. Dialogue was superbad and the whole game felt like that it was made for 15year old.

    I also remember a time when game sequels looked better that its predecessors.
    • ryanmm, on 05/10/2008, -0/+15when you break a game down like that, every game is "boring"

      Metal Gear Solid = Run, Hide, Shoot
      GTA = Run/Drive, Shoot, Talk
      Final Fantasy = Talk Talk, Walk, Hit X
      • ace429k, on 05/10/2008, -2/+2you forgot RTS games.

        Age of Empires.= Click, bloody click!
  • steveoco, on 05/10/2008, -4/+74Those chainsaw duels are going to be rad online in multi player... finally no more arguments about who chainsawed first
    • Hypermarkalan, on 05/10/2008, -2/+22I can't believe you used the word "rad." Kudos to you.
      • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3tons of people use the word "rad". its been a popular word since the 80s.
        • Hypermarkalan, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2The only person I've heard use the word after 1987, in a non-ironic way, was Tommy Lee. But he can get away with anything.
    • AlxRymnd914, on 05/10/2008, -0/+10i dont agree......now its decided by who presses a button faster? Im not sure how thats gonna work if any lag occurs.
      • BlackKnight6, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4As long as there is lag compensation techniques (which GoW1 seemed to completely lack) it will be fine. I am more worried with rapid fire controllers whooping may ass.
        • zzz@tkz, on 05/10/2008, -7/+5Buuuullllllllll shiiiitttttttt at the lag in GoW. I played it at release, and for like a month afterward and couldn't get past the ***** of online play.
          • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -2/+3maybe you should consider the ***** of your game's chief interactor.
          • BlackKnight6, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2He is right though, Gears does have very bad lag issues. You have to give lead with bullets no matter the distance while in single player its dead on (or if you are host in MP). It is this guessing of the quality of the connection and how far you are from the server to determine how much to lead your shotgun blast at the guy 1 foot in front of you that is quite annoying.
          • zzz@tkz, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1@therightclique I wasn't bad, trust me.
    • SubaruPowah, on 05/10/2008, -10/+1I always loved the chainsaw glitch, where you saw people who are 8 ft away from you.
    • NyteStarNyne, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1There will always be childish bickering about the chainsaw in online mode. It's one of the many pleasures to sit back and listen to.
    • BenKaras, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Wouldn't mind sniping some fool caught up in one.
  • Shadowgamers, on 05/10/2008, -6/+43***** yes, Unreal 3.5 looks godly
  • Failchan, on 05/10/2008, -7/+14Looks pretty good so far. The fire and particle effects show that it's in an early state. I have to say though, it's sad to see that there are still fanboys like vivalagoat on here.
    • vivalagoat, on 05/10/2008, -20/+3haha, suck my junk noob.
      • Failchan, on 05/10/2008, -3/+16Why would you want me to suck your dick? Not getting enough action from your sister, you inbred *****?
    • pk7677, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1Agree.
  • allthosemoments, on 05/10/2008, -11/+10I really love this game. I am so sad i bought a wii instead of a 360, oh well you live you learn.
  • natastna2, on 05/10/2008, -7/+5That looks ***** fantastic.
  • spooksie, on 05/10/2008, -9/+6gamevideos flash player sucks, always buffering regardless if it is popular or not.

    Any non-rick rolling youtube videos available?
  • Carrot1991, on 05/10/2008, -8/+33It looks like a huge battle but in honesty, most of it's just background. The "battle" will play out the same way every time.
    • AzureRise, on 05/10/2008, -1/+10Stop ruining the moment with your logic!
    • kleptomaniac, on 05/10/2008, -1/+8Damnit carrot, it's called immersion.
    • BlackKnight6, on 05/10/2008, -0/+12That didn't stop COD4 from being awesome...
      • aMammoth, on 05/10/2008, -6/+5It also didn't stop call of duty from being hallow.
        • Qumahlin, on 05/10/2008, -1/+5it didn't stop the game from being religious? Did you mean "Hollow"...if you think that COD4 was hollow your a ***** moron and don't know the definition of the word (or either word in this case)
        • GUTTS, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2I believe he was going for shallow, but even that doesnt cut the cheese cos cod4 shallow? You must be sniffing that butthash again. stop.
        • redleviathan69, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1yea, maybe if you keep using logic to reason a bunch of pixels flying around
  • Import98, on 05/10/2008, -7/+2Looks really good, especially for the first Act. Like comment above though, unfortunately, everything is scripted. Although it will be fun as hell the first time through, plus there is always multi player, which I hope they fix with more options.
  • VVCephei, on 05/10/2008, -31/+2ugh, Are you all going to fall for this ***** again? GoW 1 was the highrise of like a month, until everybody realised how pointlessly gory it was. What you have just seen, may just be the most epic part of the game, The rest is either dialogue or bus driving.

    Secondly, if this game is godlike upon release, It'll be the last thing xbox gets before its downfall.
    • Weebs43, on 05/10/2008, -2/+19Are you kidding me? Everyone was hopped up on GoW and were all over it until Halo 3 was released a year later. As for dialog, you mustn't have played for more than 5 minutes because most people complained that wasn't enough dialog to open up the story. Also, bus driving != A short level of driving in the city.
      • Volaitle86, on 05/10/2008, -2/+6Dude, I got tired of Halo 3. I still play GOW regularly
        • Swordman554, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3Dude, I got tired of Halo 3 too, but I moved to TF2 and Duty 4...because my GOW Disk is no longer playable.
        • MillionsLivio, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4Dude, I got tired of Halo 3, I moved on to COD4, and now GTA IV.
          • VVCephei, on 05/10/2008, -2/+0I can possibly relate to you more, halo 3 was easy to get a grip of.. it was an okay game for a while but then COD 4 was like ownage, then yeah gta4 but I have something against GTA... mainly because it's getting slightly overrated... well it is here in england that's for sure.
          • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1"mainly because it's getting slightly overrated"

            But this time its actually starting to live up to the hype. I too was skeptical. It surely isn't a 10 out of 10, but its a very solid 8.
          • MillionsLivio, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Eight out of ten, are you serious? GTA IV has been one of the greatest games I've ever played, and almost every person I've talked to that has played it would agree.
      • VVCephei, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1Good point but, eh, the storyline was good but the gore really was overdone. I mean it was ***** brutal... so I didnt see any point in it.

        and yes I know that the dialogue lacked in the first game, but obviously, game developers fix that whenever they get word of such things
        • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1why are you trying to ruin gaming for the rest of us? a sci-fi war SHOULD be brutal and gory.
    • DarkSideWRX, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5Shut it Sony Fanboy. go back to your PS3 forum.
      • VVCephei, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1I don't have a ps3 so I (obviously) don't go to ps3 forums. I have an Xbox and I love it, but I'm a pessimist, I am not going to expect ANYTHING good for it, because I expected xbox to be less of a block of ***** then it actually turned out to be.
        • forthex, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1What he means to say is you should go back to /v/

          And if you don't know what that is, look it up. You'll realize you belonged there all along and the once empty part of your pitiful soul will be filled.
  • Perfectsound, on 05/10/2008, -19/+7It looks and plays pretty much the same. I mean, it's still fun. But where's the innovation?
    • Volaitle86, on 05/10/2008, -6/+2It's up your ass, rummage in there and find it
    • Jesusridesabike, on 05/10/2008, -2/+1CHAINSAWS! ON GUNS!

      Oh, wait...
    • Betrayer, on 05/10/2008, -2/+2the innovation is they re-release it with a 2 after it.. duh
    • estvir, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1New weapons, new enemies, larger battles, new gameplay mechanics, chain saw duels, new/improved cover system, etc.

      Did you even watch the damn video?

      • B1663r, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Dude, now that we know that the ps3 bd drive dies about one month after the warranty expires, they have to try something... Cause they can't complain about RROD anymore... because the RROD is a free fix, while the blue drive of death error costs $125 to fix.
    • GUTTS, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1fable 2, too human, ninja gaiden 2, force unleashed, yeah your right not too much to look forward to besides gears 2.

  • blackhole82, on 05/10/2008, -5/+5is it possible that this is going to be even more badass than the first one?
    • ortucis, on 05/10/2008, -7/+1Well, it sucked ass the first time (the one I played on PC) but considering it will come on consoles first, yeah sure, it'll be badass.

  • donnyton, on 05/10/2008, -16/+2Forgive me if they existed in the first game, but those flying ships look a lot like the jellyfish aliens from Crysis...
    • saisumimen, on 05/10/2008, -2/+5Way to not read the earlier post.
  • Cirok, on 05/10/2008, -13/+2Flying thing looked like the aliens from crysis, which look like sentinels from the matrix
  • wafflesomd, on 05/10/2008, -5/+12Looks pretty fun.

    Kinda surprised people don't play the first one as much, it's multiplayer component is excellent.
    • bigdoglj52, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6except people do play it a ton still today?
      • NailToTheX, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2the big reason i stopped playing multiplayer is that people kept glitching... annoying
        • redleviathan69, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1agreed, that and I started playing PC games
  • ortucis, on 05/10/2008, -18/+2So, you retarded console fanboys don't want to post these dumbass games news in the right category anymore? I know you can't think (explains ***** games like Halo and GOW getting so much attention) but atleast post it in the console category so others don't have to press bury everytime.
    • J3553, on 05/10/2008, -3/+0wow... you do realize that what you probably spend on PC upgrades every year or two is what i spend on a console every 5 years, right? that's fine though. if you enjoy pc games, good for you. now go cast some faggoty spells on your friends and stop posting dumb ***** like this.
  • KingLeo, on 05/10/2008, -1/+21For those of you complaining that "there is no innovation", uh... yes there is. They used a new version of the Unreal engine, here, take a look at the improvements... http://www.gametrailers.com/player/30824.html

    Two minutes of gameplay can't possibly do justice to the improvements.
    • zpliskin, on 05/10/2008, -11/+1improvements are usually compared to competitors not previous games.

      its a new version of the UE3, not UE4. i didn't see much difference from Win XP to Win XP SP1. same goes here. the only thing i hope it isn't (but will be) is a 6h long story (ok maybe 7 or 8 but still, not 20) and a non linear game (and obviously its going to be extremely linear).

      about the grabbing dude, i don't understand how grabbing someone as human shield in the middle of a world war makes sense. my 2 cents.
      • Zpanzer, on 05/10/2008, -3/+0I think it has something to do with getting hit by bullets hurt... Maybe the same thing as going into cover I guess..
      • BlackKnight6, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3Its the whole mobile cover system that they want in GoW2.
  • selfdisplaced, on 05/10/2008, -20/+8Resistance 2 FTW!
    • xjeffx, on 05/10/2008, -2/+4Screw that game. It would only play in 480p on my previous HDTV. What a rip off.

        Just sayin'.
