Gears of War 2

[El Leone]

In anticipation of GOW2 I've actually got back into playing GOW again. Mutiplayer isnt as laggy as I remembered!

There are video streams all over the place of people playing the pirated version.

its fair enough i guess if they have managed to get it early by whateer means as long as they buy the orig eventually when released.


its its avail on pirate someone somewhere has the original, if there are originals now, why not release it earlier rather than next month..

Because making millions of copies of a game takes time? This is a really big launch, and they want it to go off without any supply problems. Once one disc gets pressed there's a chance it could be leaked, highly doubt they could relase it with that many copies .

Don't get me wrong, I'd love it early (I can't wait!!!) but that's not likely to happen.

The majority of pirates are not going to buy the game, realistically.

No Gears of War 2 if you're in Germany or Japan

"We can confirm that Gears of War 2 will not be available in Germany or Japan indefinitely," said a Microsoft spokesperson to Edge.

The first Gears of War was Microsoft's first big break in Japan, as the game was the first Xbox 360 title to break into the Japanese sales charts.

The cover-loving shooter is the latest in a string of graphically violent games that face not going on sale in increasingly censor-happy countries. EA Redwood Shores' Dead Space faced bans in the same countries as Gears of War 2 and Australia, while PlatinumGames' MadWorld is expecting it to be impossible to release in its home territory of Japan.

SO glad I got a PAL 360 earlier in the year. Saying that though, it's region free according to Long John Silver and his crew.

Someone has posted these non-spoiler images of the campaign:











Nearly two years on and Gears 1 still looks great, but this looks incredible! It looks beautiful in those pictures, particular the last three, let alone when we get to see the game first hand in HD. It could bring a tear to my eye.

Oh god I cant wait for this.

I've been trying to avoid any videos/pics for weeks now but those few shots there make me realise how awesome it will be wether I know everything about it or nothing at all.

Talks about the game as a experience and a franchise. Fans how they're devoted to Gears. It also shows some parts of the Gears 2 advert 'Last Days'. The Mad World trailer was awesome so I'm looking forward to this.

Great trailer imo, better than the first.

Those images might be a bit deceptive as they're photo's, but it's still looking amazing.

[Akira]

love that new commercial!

****.

At least with Gears I can get a region-free/Asian version :/

[Morph]

well it seems reviews have already started arriving I hear OXM UK gave it 9 / 10 damn I was expecting a 10 but hey nothing should ever get a 10 anyway - no game is perfect and can always be better.
