Almost 4 am?! nah it was a bit past that... I had duties! I had to keep the thread "over there" updated. Shit was intense.

But basically, greatest game ever is now here. It can be said. Period.

Well when I clicked before work, it said your last post was at 3 something. Closer to 4.

But thanks for giving yourself up. :p

Nintendo is gonna announce they are dropping out of the race...

In all honesty, I really don't know they released all their major franchises so either something brand new, Kid Icarus as rumored or stuff gonna hold off on announcing till e3.

Is it? Hot damn.

Edit: Just watched the footage. HOLY SHIT. That's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Is that 60FPS?!

A lot of people have been wondering if it's 60 FPS but some have said that it is locked at 30 and has truly amazing motion blur, so it basically looks 60 FPS without actually being it. BUUUUUUUUUUT nobody is actually sure, so who knows.

Dyne 05-11-2008 02:36 AM

Re: Gears of War 2 Footage
 
Nah dude, that is DEFINITELY 60FPS. I worked on Turok before it was locked in at 30FPS and it looked very similar in motion.

Major props to Epic if they can release the game like that, even if there were a few dips.

How do you tell from a video encoded at 29.37 FPS?

What is your secret? Give me your X-Ray specs. I need them. For spying.

Spying.

I'm not trying to be a smartass here - How do you know it's encoded at 29.37 frames a second? All I can find is total bitrate.

Re: Gears of War 2 Footage
 
David Ellis from GameVideos stated on NeoGAF that the unedited video they received from Microsoft was encoded at 29.37 frames.

Even if it isn't 60 frames per second, the fact that its not clear that it isn't tells me that I don't really care one way or the other. It looks silky.

Dyne 05-12-2008 05:43 PM

Re: Gears of War 2 Footage
 
It's possible it captured that 30fps while it was still running at 60FPS.

Because if that's the actual speed of the game running, then there is a very impressive (read: not impressive at all) amount of slowdown from 30FPS.

But yeah, still looks amazing either way.

Graphics look good, so does the action. But the controls... :( I get frustrated by just watching that.

But eh, has this become some kind of rail-shooter?

NO!

Sorry it's just that some people kept mentioning that the other day and it's not true. They showed 1 part of 1 chapter on the first Act and it happened to be when they're riding on the Derricks. This is likely the only time in the game where it's like this and it's no different then in the first Gears when your on the 1 part of 1 chapter when you ride on the mine carts.

Well, one "gay" guy amongst so many straight men... I gotta say, yes.

Swan 05-14-2008 09:38 PM

Re: Gears of War 2 Footage
 
He does know that he is able to flirt with someone even if they don't flirt back right?


So he could flirt with all the straighties and not confuse us

Renwood 05-14-2008 09:43 PM

Re: Gears of War 2 Footage
 
I fail to see the flirting.
