Gears of War

As everyone knows Gears of War is the most highly anticipated title for the Xbox 360 this year. With a release date slated around the holidays the hype has grown even more since its thirty second trailer was released a year ago, we take a look at what to expect.

I hope this game plays as good as it looks. Should be another killer fps to add to the 360's ranks

[Droidbro]

Well, not really because that would mean I'm going to waste my money!

[JPomper]

I'm really looking forward to this game. I think the stop-n-pop style of gameplay is going to make for a very unique multiplayer experience.

In other news, this article was horribly written. "Waste deep"? Heh.

[Droidbro]

And the visuals are amazing!!1

[THAMMER1]

I believe this game will be the game of the year for the 360. There may even be some serous awards given to this game after its release. This will sell consoles for the holiday season for sure. And as a 3rd person shooter it will draw non-fps fan in too. I am also looking forward to Mass Effect.

As long as it pwns everthing and I pwn it.

[kingboy]

i might borrow a 360 just to rock this one

[THAMMER1]

You are funny. You know what I know you will own a 360 before 2007 is over. You really like it you are just on the defense for PS3 and PS2. But you have no real reason to be that way. It is just immature.

[Droidbro]

You cheap fukc

[kingboy]

actually i might own a 360 this time around after i`m done buying my ps3

[Droidbro]

why dont you just buy one now you idiot?

[mikeeno7]

Yes...the videos look great
Yes...it has a legendary development team
Yes...it has alot of features
Yes...it will rock in Multiplayer/Xbox Live
But...will it be a decent single-player experience?
Halo 2, amidst the immense hype, was average if quite dissappointing in single-player, so i will remain cautious over Gears of War. At the moment this game is just hype, make an informed decision when a demo hits the marketplace.

[Droidbro]

Seeing as the single player has full online co-op and really multiplayer then yeah it will awesome you idiot

[Droidbro]

H2 pwnz0r3d everything you idiot

[TheMART]

Well Droidanomix

You are reacting on every post with a lot of calling 'idiots' while I agree on a couple of them I must say if you're going to do this on all articles every post, it gets boring :)

[Moostache]

Dude, lighten up on the "idiot" stuff...learn how to civilly debate a point or just keep quiet. It is far better for people to think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt....

As far as the SP mode on Gears - I really wouldn't expect too much there. The game will be great overall in my opinion, but I think this is going to be a multi-player-centric game (like much of the future offerings from MS). Microsoft wants to push XBL as the way of the future for video gaming because that is where they hold the greatest advantage on Sony and Nintendo. The 360 is great hardware, and it has a lot of advantages of its own, but the XBL service is what MS has now that no one can match (and I doubt Sony's "free" online service will come close).

I would expect a lot more games in the near future that are OK SP games but really shine when the MP is added. GRAW was good example. I thought the SP was very good, but the multiplayer to me was far and away better. BF2 is another example (for me personally) - the SP blows, but I love the MP and it makes the title a great one to me.

[Droidbro]

its just that stupid people piss me off

[YoJ1Mbo]

If this game lives up to the hype halo can lick my nuts. after seeing the e3 trailor i think it will.

[Droidbro]

but halo is still t3h b3st

[kingboy]

an example of another 360 fanboy`s way of gaming.looks to me ur the idiot now huh! lol !when something looks good i`ll admit it that`s the difference between u and me

[YoJ1Mbo]

before this thread gets to attacking one person's opinion just think about what's coming out in the span of 2 months.....gow, tiger07, forza2, rainbow six: vegas, splinter cell....it's getting crazy isn't it? On top of that there's a rumor halo2 will come out at the tail end of all this?....I doubt it. All in all though, I'm pretty damn excited!!

[Droidbro]

But PS3 looks like a piece of goddamned crap.

[G_CodeMonkey]

By releasing at the same time as PS3, M$ (who will only get one chance to steal away PS3 folks) is betting that having both GoW and Halo3 on the street at the same time is a powerful motivator to go '360, while blunting the force of GoW. They risk really insulting Epic, because it will put pressure on Epic's sales (some will buy both, indeed probably most). You have to admit, though, that this has got to hit Sony in the gut! Personally, I'm not much of a Halo fan, but will have GoW on day 1--possibly Halo later. In my opinion, while possible, the bad blood it would create between Epic and them wouldn't be worth it. Everyone already knows Halo is coming--I'd just release some SWEEEETTTTT in-game footage just prior to the PS3 release and then release the game later next year. IMHO, of course.

[PS360PCROCKS]

GEARS OF WAR is set for an OCTOBER 3rd release date

[THE TRUTH]

It would be awsome if M$ would give us a demo. I can't wait for this game to come out. I hope the gameplay is up to par. Graphics are insane though all I can say is WOW
