Gears of War 2: More Emotionally Affecting than Bioshock

Big Claims for Gears of War, could it be that the story has finally improved. Will it step up to the plate and confront Resistance 2 in its greatest fortress.
"Beyond it," Ferro says. "I said it. It's going to be more emotionally effecting than Bioshock. A lot happens."

Epic what a joke !

they also said UT3 is better looking the gears ...

The story is apparently going to be as generic as the other bald space marines games lol

iamtehpwn6202d ago

So Gears of War 2 should be taken with half a grain of Salt?

mikeslemonade6202d ago

These guys must be the next Dennis Dyacks. Stop hyping the game and let the game speak for itself.

Halochampian6202d ago

I dont think the voice actor counts as EPIC. So I dont think you should be blaming Epic for this statement.

Ghoul6202d ago

hahahah

best joke of the week
"emotionally affecting" GEARS ??? i didnt even recognised a story in part one.

quote below:
"when there is not a single promo or interview from MGS4 or Resistance2 talking bad about any other games but GeoW2 promo seems to live on dissing other's! it's like what they talk all day - saying that their's is the best!!"

very true man im really sick at bashing others to gain hype....

TheHater6202d ago

you guys stated that UT3 will have a story. That wasn't much of a story. In fact is was beyond boring and lame. Guess I will just have to play it when it comes out and see for myself.

SolidSnake936202d ago

I hope that they can make a turnaround from the awful story in Gears 1 heres to optimism.

badz1496202d ago

when there is not a single promo or interview from MGS4 or Resistance2 talking bad about any other games but GeoW2 promo seems to live on dissing other's! it's like what they talk all day - saying that their's is the best!!

what are they afraid of over there at Epic? it seems like they can't sleep at night without dissing other games in their every sentence! if your game is really that great, just let it speak for itself! there is not even a slice of humble pie over there at their studio and I hate arrogant people!

I hate arrogant people and I hate their games as well! I know hate is a strong word but I still stand by my words!

chidj26202d ago

r they pissed because bioshock its now multi?

Condoleezza Rice6202d ago

It was more of a great story with a clever twist,not much that affects you emotionally.

gambare6202d ago

Emotionally affecting? Metal Gear Solid 4. Agreed Bioshock was deep but not Emotionally affecting

vickers5006202d ago

Are you serious? You must be a robot, because BioShock was the most emotionally effecting of any game I have ever played.

gambare6202d ago

well.. the most emotionally effecting game I've ever played was Final Fantasy 6, for many others was FFVII with the Aeris stuff, but I saw Bioshock obscure, the good ending was comfortable.

Condoleezza Rice6202d ago

Just a side question,when did you start gaming?

vickers5006202d ago

Around the playstation/n64 days. MGS4 was alright, but it didn't leave me feeling anything afterward. The most overhyped game of all time.

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."

RaidenBlack105d ago

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

Cacabunga105d ago

Xbox always taking the right decisions

XiNatsuDragnel105d ago

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

Lightning77105d 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.

CrimsonWing69105d ago

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

lucasnooker105d ago

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

CrimsonWing69105d 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.

LoveSpuds105d 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?

Read Full Story >>
culturedvultures.com
KicksnSnares1099d 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)

ChasterMies1098d 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.

Zombieburger6381098d ago

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

darthv721098d 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.

Jericho13371098d 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.

Om4ever1098d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad1098d 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.

LoveSpuds1098d 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...

Neonridr1232d 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.

ChasterMies1231d 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.

Knightofelemia1233d 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.

monkey6021232d 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.

lucian2291232d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares1233d 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

RetroCaptainSteve1232d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares1232d 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.

Profchaos1232d 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

Viljong1232d ago (Edited 1232d ago )

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

myfathersbastard1232d 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
