Cliff Bleszinksi On Gears 2 Multiplayer & More

Gears of War 2 lead developer Cliff Bleszinksi describes the benefits of the Unreal Engine 3, destructible environments, multiplayer chainsaw duels, and explains why you won't be able to customize your guns in Gears of War 2.

DarkSniper6221d ago

Gears of War 2 will be one of 2008's biggest disappointments by far. Xbox 360's entire lineup from June on foward looks to be extremely disappointing. This is primarily due to Microsoft's console running toward the end of it's course. It's painstakingly obvious that PLAYSTATION®3 is the greatest console to fit your gaming needs.

With Xbox 360 looking to be obsolete in the next couple of years, it's almost certain that Gears of War 2,3 and 4 will appear on PS3.

Honestly, the best part about your comment, was the fact that you were completely serious.

TheMART6221d ago

I guess your head doesn't hold any brains at all, but is just one big tumor.

HateBoy6221d ago

Oooops, clicked on the open zone! Very obvious from that first comment.

So this is it, huh? I like it.

CViper6221d ago

The option to invert your up and down controls was also a plus. Looks like Gears2 is going to get better and better if they infact do mimic the type of controls Uncharted had as an Option for players who find it less clunky.

Its good to see developers constantly upgrading things and not considering them done.

Sad to see no weapon customization though, and I guess 5 vs 5 is confirmed for the multiplayer. Which isn't an issue, but I cant see how thats going to improve much more over 4 vs 4 as far as scale of battle goes. Either way, you are playing agains 5 other dudes, or 9 other dudes. Not quite a full scale war like he keeps saying.

I hope they quit development on UT3, and just focus on gears.

..... just waitin for icewakes comment!!!

".We have this whole chart of things we've announced and things we haven't..."

"There are some really nice surprises that haven't been announced."

Jeeze..how many surprises does this guy have.....

"Eight billion tasks have been cycled on for improving the cover system. You can interrupt the swat turn and go right into a roady run so you're not stuck swat turning. The angle of cover entry for roady run has been tweaked so you don't necessarily get cuked into cover as often when you roady run. Mantling's a little more crisp. Just evading into cover is more crisp. Every single last action has been tweaked. The angle at which you cover slip when you move forward has been tweaked. Every single bit of the cover system has been massaged this time. I went back and played Gears 1 and I still think it's a great cover system, but what I missed was tremendous and I'm so happy with a lot of the results that have come out of the tweaking for Gears 2."

And to think some say this game will not Improve..Cannot Wait.

Fable 2 will probably rank higher than MGS4 lol.

Joe29116221d ago

Resistance 2

stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

OmarJA6221d ago

MGS4 and LittleBigPlanet

Fable 2 ? hahahahahahahah

power of Green 6221d ago

Man you can feel the PS3 fanboy anger and nervousness due to all the news thats been coming in lately and E3 being around the corner.

pimpstation6221d ago (Edited 6221d ago )

Let's look at all the "news thats been coming in lately":

GTA IV is released. PS3 version blows away 360 version.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is released. The second biggest 360 game of the year turns out to be a huge flop.

Bioshock, by far the best game ever released on 360, is confirmed for the PS3 with numerous improvements.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is released. Instantly considered one of the greatest games of all time.

Wow. So much great news for xbox fans. The only way it could get any better for you right now is if M$ quits the game industry tomorrow.

I think POG just got....OWnD

Doesnt matter what kids think, it'll be awesome. The first one was good, and its online multiplayer was VERY popular. And it was a last minute add-in. I'm more interested in how the Campaign Story will pan out, but the multiplayer looks like it getting better.

Gears of War 2 Remake was in development “10 years ago” but was scrapped by Xbox

Ayi Sanchez: "Old work. I did this 10 years ago now as part of a material test for a remaster of Gears of War 2 that never happened."

RaidenBlack112d ago

lolz,
hope we're still getting Gears 2 & 3 for PC, as per rumors

Cacabunga112d ago

Xbox always taking the right decisions

XiNatsuDragnel112d ago

Wow... just wow Microsoft sigh at it again 😑

Lightning77112d ago

Weird, in mean they had no studios to make anything really new so there's a part of me thats kinda glad they scrapped it. If they released this back then it would of gotten ridiculed for remakes and remastering stuff. Now they have new and interesting games so the collection is harmless.

CrimsonWing69112d ago

Geez, Xbox, something like that I would’ve bought Day 1. Great business decisions over there.

lucasnooker112d ago

10 years ago it wasn’t such a big deal. The games were only a few years old by that point

CrimsonWing69112d ago

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition came out in 2015 (essentially 10 years ago), having a follow-up to that on the then next-gen console would’ve absolutely been welcomed, in my book.

LoveSpuds112d ago

I can only assume the the Gears of War Remaster flopped so they decided to scrap the other remakes?

Seems short sighted to me as I really enjoyed the 1st remaster. Regardless, I'll snap up some remakes to play on my PS5.

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

KicksnSnares1106d ago

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies1105d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger6381105d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv721105d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho13371105d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever1105d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad1105d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds1105d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

https://youtu.be/wy8LRlS1SC...

Neonridr1238d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies1238d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia1239d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey6021239d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian2291239d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares1239d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve1239d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares1239d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos1239d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong1239d ago (Edited 1239d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard1239d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol
