    The Last Days trailer is on the Marketplace but when I played the UK version it juddered a lot, so I downloaded it from the US Marketplace and it was a couple of megabytes different, why, and there was no judder.

      Photos taken on a badly calibrated TV, by the looks of it contrast is up and sharpness is maxed out. I think it looks fugly in those pictures The direct source screen caps are far superior.

      Am I the only one who found the new trailer unbearably cheesy? Awful choice of music. A little worried the game may be taking itself a bit too seriously now.

        They're from the same source as the previous pics right? They're camera shot from a poorly setup TV. Looks awful!

          Regardless of that it still shows how good some of the environments look.

            Er it's impossible to judge how the environments will look with those shots. All you can see are wrong colours and immense edge enhancement. Makes it look ugly if anything! Of course the proper screengrabs do show that the environments look great

              I wouldn't worry about that - the Mad World trailer for the first had a similar `edgy, sophisticated, adult vibe` about it and didn't stop it being a space marine, chainsaw gorefest

              I actually quite liked the tune even if it has been hacked to buggery from the original. But as with the Mad World trailer the versions have started to appear with different music overlaid on it and it works just as well (the Moonlight Sonata version for example) so make of that what you will.

                All you Gears-heads, I guess this is a spoiler alert, if you don't want to see or know what you're facing when Gears of War 2 drops Nov. 7. If you're slightly curious, this clip is 90 seconds long and is unlike anything faced in the original game. Details on the jump.What begins with giant tentacles soaring out of…


                Leaked Boss Battle. Looks amaze!

                Don't watch it if you want to be suprised. Big scale and fantastic graphics. Epic.

                  Eh it's still a screenshot of the actual game, u can make out plenty. I have sat through a lot worse than that on the likes of YouTube.

                    We clearly have different opinions of what looks good

                    Still, it makes a change from the normal AA'd publicity shots that get everyone excited.

                        Nooo don't get me wrong i'm not saying they are great. It just harks me back to 1989 when all screenshots were taken that way. I would re-read magazines loads of times trying to glean as much info from shots like that. You basically didn't know what the game would really look like until you plugged it in and switched it on.

                            That's cool man. I don't think anyone doubts the game will be stunning, Gears 1 is still the benchmark I measure other console games by. I can't praise the engine highly enough, it scales very well on consoles and PCs, it's no wonder it's so popular with devs

                              Finally saw the Last Day trailer at the weekend...freaking amazing.

                              Not only does it look gorgeous but I actually found it quite moving, perfect use of music & real insight in my eyes into the feeling of going to war.

                              An awesome masterpiece & something I will keep in my mind & on my HDD for a long long time
