don't you have 24hr supermarkets or stores in America/Canada?

In the uk you can get games at midnight in most places.
If you get it from tesco's or asda it's cheaper than from game or gamestation.

Resistance 2 coming out the same day in the US ?

so like its opening for both of them? lol

its not fair that U.S get it like 4th of Nov and us Europeans wait until the 28TH !!!

SL1M DADDY5513d ago

Resistance and gears were coming out with a 4 day difference? Not sure but that was the release difference a week or so back.

SL1M DADDY5513d ago (Edited 5513d ago )

According to Gamefly, Gears of War comes out the 7th and Resistance 2 comes out on the 4th. At least in North America. Did the developers change the date again?

WhittO5513d ago

fafoon5513d ago

I've Pre Ordered mine from there

midnight? bad idea
the kids won't be allowed to go outside at midnight.
try midday.

Gam715513d ago

I see this has been turned into a resistance thread but the story is about Gears so The kids won't be able to buy r2 at midnight but the adults will buy GoW2.

This youngster agrees with you.

GiantEnemyCrab5512d ago

hahaha that video is funny shutupandplay. Actually, I think that is one of the more mature PSN'ers. That kid should be in pampers not asking about M rated games.

It's actually not that common in Canada for stores to open up at midnight. The only games this year that this happen for was GTA IV and Metal Gear Solid 4. Usually when there is a midnight launch it's a huge event.

Bnet3435512d ago

The launch of Gears of War 2 is a huge event ...

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)

DeusFever524d 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.

Zombieburger638524d ago

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

darthv72525d 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.

Jericho1337525d 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.

Om4ever524d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far
