Oh, I guess you did? Oh, you mean everybody already knew that a new Gears of War game was coming out… Well then, mister big time gamer, I guess you won’t want to hit the jump to watch the teaser trailer…

.

Ah, I guess you don’t know everything, now do you…

I kid. Here’s the Trailer goodness…


They’re taking pre-orders now. Maybe they need money to finish the game. Maybe Cliffy B needs another Ferrari.

      That sucked. What a dumb video. Black and Red of a guy getting cut in half. My god they must have a LOT of work left to do.

      meh.

      if that’s true i need a towel

      @ Lono

      Yeh, but that’s some nice animation though.
      Hopefully this game will be 50x more violent than last time, because Epic say the more the blood, the moor the fans.

      Gears of War 2 for the Virtual Boy confirmed!

    • insert username here says:

      It was just red and black, they should’ve made it like the Halo 3 teaser trailer

    • Lono says:

      they need your pre-orders so they can add more colors to the game… only a couple more dollars to get gun-metal gray!!!

    • DJ Res says:

      It’s pretty hard to get amped about a game off that trailer! It looks so next-gen! :)

    • pondec says:

      @ Lono

      really gun metal grey i’m going to go and preorder 10 copies maby they will add blue too

    • Jeff says:

      Well duh yeah everyone knew it was coming out, it sold like a bazillion copies! they’d be stupid not to make a sequel.
      Gears was fun, but why does everyone praise CliffyB like he did every single thing in the game by himself?

    • NoneOfYourBusiness says:

      I like the title of the new game….retro…yet new

    • Some guy in a van says:

      That has to be the single most informative trailer I have ever seen.

    • DemonicDerek says:

      I am just hoping that they bring some better multiplayer to this one, the last one sucked if you asked me. Too much waiting around as well as you had to go find the weapon rather than start out with it.

    • heavenlyyeti says:

      I had a spaz attack when I first saw this this morning.

    • Frantik says:

      I still love GoW. I’m glad to see a 2nd game come out (surprisingly, this year too–or so they say). One thing I will call BS on is the “June 2008″ release of Ninja Gaiden 2. Tecmo / Team Ninja hasn’t been very punctual these past few games. DOA4, DOAX, DOAU, first NG. I think NG Black was delayed too.

    • Clstirens says:

      @Doc: No, this correlates with something I think I even read on THIS SITE.

      About how devs tend to over hype their game and release copious amounts of teasers and gameplay footage. By the end of some developement cycles, I sometimes feel like I’ve Played, beat, unlocked achievements for, then played the subsequent sequal.

      I’m glad they only had this thematic teaser. Enough info to let us know that game is due (and not just a rumor), not to much in it so as not to detract from development*, and, hey, we got to see cliffy with his Lancer again! :D b

      *See: Halo 2 Preview demo @ e3.

    • ajnokia says:

      Its easy enough saying its coming out the end of the year. But will it happen? I expect a delay till 2009

    • Lono says:

      Nope, no delay.

    • Maul says:

      Maybe this will eclipse halo 3 as most preordered game, as the original is still the most sold game on 360.

    • mountaineer says:

      Gears of War Jesus!!!!!!!!11one

    • balaamsafe says:

      i don’t even own a 360 but i’m pstched about this one
      love Gears

    • Cube says:

      Gears fo war 1 was not that impressive and I could tell it was not done. I never fe.t I had to keep playing it… Ohh single player shooter, interesting the first time..

      Slow multiplayer death match with a chainsaw that is just an animation and not an interactive weapon well that is not to interesting time to play another game.

      Xbox 360 people like to over rate there shooters that don’t really need it or it was done on the PC years ago like halo 3.

      They might finish gears of war 2 this time.

      Did i mention the guns sound like cracker jack toys and are not that fun to shoot?

      They better change that none of the weapons are special except for tekbow thing.

      Cube, your probably in the minority on those points…
