They begin talking about the Game Informer Gears of War 2 cover story at about 19:30. They don't talk too much about it (for obvious reasons), but they sounded super excited about what they saw.
* Graphics have gone to nutso level. Color palette isn't as washed out as the first game. The games looks like a matte painting from a movie.
* A lot of the game will take place underground. A underground level they saw had all this bio-luminescent plant life that animated.
* More weather effects. Snow was mentioned. Gibs on the snow!
* The derricks have these mine capsules that hold 2 guys. You kind of paratroop into the ground. So, this derrick goes out and picks up what looks like bullets with grinders on the end, and then shoots you into the ground. That's how you get around in the world and go to these different missions. These derricks are 3 stories tall.
* Epic is doing a lot to make the story better.
* The team at Epic is very committed to making Gears 2 multiplayer fantastic. Some of the things they heard over some cocktails are very very exciting.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
It is so dark,and good,very very good too.
I can't wait for the game.
These are going to be much needed improvements.
I FREAKIN LOVED GEARS!!! (*Orgasm*) LOL
Can't wait for Gears 2. Bet it will once again be the Game of The Year!!
More gloomy effects?
Unreal Plastic?
