My excitement level for Gears 2 today is off the charts. It's the craziest I've gotten for it yet.

[Dyne]

Where did my last post go? Wtf?

Anyways, I'm surprised they stuck with their brownish bloom-lighting look after the constant harassment by the industry (which was pretty pathetic because nobody else had made anything look as good.) Even Uncharted had its knock against it. :lolz:

[BreakABone]

Haha Berzekers got weapons now.
I hated those things.
I would always wait until made it clear then leave my partner to do all the work of getting it where it needed to be.

But like I told Mr. Duf probably a terrible idea to give a blind creature a weapon no matter what side it is on.

Also, don't listen to Aladuf he told me there would be 5 player co-op. :(

[Typhoid]

Sweet Jesus.

[Aladuf]

BTW, HD footage is up on XBLM along with gamerpix and a theme. :D

[Bond]

Since when? Did it just go up?

[Aladuf]

It's been up for a little while. About 2 hours.

Edit: To clarify, the only footage I know of is the trailer. Sorry, not the gameplay.

[Bond]

Must have missed that. They need to create a new "E3 2008" folder.

[BreakABone]

Must have missed that. They need to create a new "E3 2008" folder.

They do have an e3 2008 folder....

Where I saw the Gears trailer. :lol:

[Bond]

Aladuf, I have something you may go bonkers over. Give me a few minutes to upload.

[Aladuf]

:O

Interesting..

[Aladuf]

Veeeeeeeeeeeeery nice Bond. I had seen the first two before but not the last three.

[Bond]

I have more, hold on.

[BreakABone]

I can't be the only one who finds it weird that Bond and Aladuf are exchanging glamour shots of Cliffy B?

[Fox 6]

Pretty odd.

Yeah, all other games can bow down.

Was I the only one more impressed with the choice of poem than the actual trailer? I'm shocked it wasn't used in gaming before this.

Alan Seeger. 1888–1916

"I Have a Rendezvous with Death"

I HAVE a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air—
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath—
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.

God knows 'twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear...
But I've a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.

[Aladuf]

Oh yeah, it was a perfect choice. And I thought that they couldn't top the Mad World trailer for Gears 1.

Did you know the author wrote this while in WWI and was killed in battle? His last recorded mement was being mortally wounded by machine gun fire, and then cheering on his company as they charged across the field while he laid dying. Amazing story. Kind of makes me feel guilty for enjoying it in a video game trailer...
