it is much better than the first just aint much ppl on yet.

CliffyBs15YearOldBF6079d ago

no it sucks
being able to group in pre game lobby rocks. the way you select game modes SUCKS!!!.

I wonder how many Sony Fanboys came onto N4G this morning hoping to hear of mass complaints about a failed Gears of War 2 launch with a mass of online compaints, pixel and frame drop issues, lockups, RROD, etc. OH WELL - that stuff only happens on the PS3. As we said before WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO LAUNCH A GAME. Xbox Live is where it is at. Good look with that Resistance 2 launch . NOT ! - GOTY 2008 - GEARS OF WAR 2 is here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

d2dahoopa6079d ago

but have you really played the game its horrible.

if you say the game is better than gears of war 1 then you are an ignorant fanboy..
the game doesnt even feel like gears of war no more
the players feel like they are on weed when they turn corners

the shot gun makes you move like R2D2 and then you still cant kill no one
i dont even think i need to go on any more

Gears Of War is acutally the Most Anticipated Flop of 08
i got so hyped for this and recieved an Epic fail (no pun intended)

Why o why6079d ago

judging by ur past comments u seem to be sincere. My mate isnt overly impressed at the moment and feels it more of an expansion pack. To be fair though it takes him time to get into games and he may just need to get used to the changes more than anything then he'll be on it again like controversy on Russell Brand

ceedubya96079d ago

under a Gears story? Just can't go one day without some pointless comparison. The games have nothing to do with each other. At least compare it to Halo, which is also on the 360, if you really want to compare Gears 2 to something.

Both Gears and and Resistance are great games, let just leave it at that.

Why o why6079d ago (Edited 6079d ago )

cause u cant seem to play multiple unranked games in a row with his mates. Did they get rid of that feature. He's kinda casual hardcore. Loves the game just not to much into the ranking stuff.

Cherchez La Ghost6079d ago

This is about Gears!! No disrespect to any other games out there. Someone have to be civil confronting the people who want to start flaming.

die_fiend6079d ago

Someone give me their gamertag. Going to get Gears in a couple of hours n will want some1 to own when I get home. Haven't played the first one in ages! But I'll still own

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

Cacabunga111d ago

Xbox always taking the right decisions

XiNatsuDragnel111d ago

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

Lightning77111d 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.

CrimsonWing69111d ago

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

lucasnooker111d ago

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

CrimsonWing69111d 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.

LoveSpuds111d 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?

KicksnSnares1105d 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)

ChasterMies1104d 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.

Zombieburger6381104d 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.

Jericho13371104d 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.

Om4ever1104d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad1104d 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.

LoveSpuds1104d 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.

monkey6021238d 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.

lucian2291238d 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

RetroCaptainSteve1238d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares1238d 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.

Profchaos1238d 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

Viljong1238d ago (Edited 1238d ago )

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

myfathersbastard1238d 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
