E3 2008: Gears of War 2 Dated
Gears of War 2 to release worldwide exclusively on the Xbox360 on the 7th of November 2008.
At Microsoft’s Press Conference today, Epic’s Cliff Bleszinski AKA Cliffy B blew the crowd away with explosive testosterone filled footage of Gears of War 2. While the game’s frame rate seemed to be a bit iffy, I was bowled over by the sheer scope and magnitude of the game that by the way did look like a Call of Duty game from time to time.
Before he left the stage he was kind enough to inform us that Gears of War 2 would be released on the 7th of November 2008 exclusively for the Xbox360. Also mentioned were two new game mechanics (that were unfortunately not shown due to time restraints); Horde, a 5 player co-op mode where you and your friends faced off against tons of locusts a la Serious Sam and Riding a Brumak that’s pretty self explanatory.
More from News AnalysisNash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
