GDC 2008: Gears of War 2 Preview by Gametap

In a keynote speech during the Game Developers Conference 08, Epic Games Designer Cliff Bleszinski announced Gears of War 2 is in development and will release this November on Xbox 360.

Gears of War will see the hormone-injected Delta squad and its grim lead character, Marcus Fenix, continue the struggle for human survival on Earth against the cut-throat Locust Horde. Gears of War will presumably remain a third-person tactical shooter featuring a single-player campaign incorporating two-player co-op, and a multiplayer mode with at least eight players.

this better have 4 player splitscreen or else it will be boring the first day

for shame epic...

[i Shank u]

did UT3 have 60 players? *DOH!*

[RAF-TECH]

It's a tactile close maps and hella fun.
it's a good way to keep communication with your buddies in a team of 4.
it's more organized than a game with a lot of peeople running around... and what sucks is some games can hold a lot of people but support no voice.... it's almost like playing with BOTS

[The Closing]

Nothing personal about the kill that way. Also with 60 players there's no tactics you're just running around like a chicken with yer head cut off. No I'll stick will tight tactical teams, and get to know my enemy, which makes pwning them that much more rewarding thank you.

Damn what a bargage article this is. Nothing new. This ain't news...

And then they just speculate 'presumable' my ass. Preview? Come on.

Really. Gears was the first game that did the online co-op with two players properly.

I bet Epic will make a showcase from this game again and at least will get 4 player co-op in it if not even better then that. Really a total waist of time this article to read. Don't even bother...
