Let's hope it is.

Then maybe the Locust Hoard can actually be a hoard!

One word: AWESOME!

[Matt]

I doubt we'll see more than 20 enemies on screen at any one time, if nothing else Gears just isn't that kind of game - 20 locusts all hiding would be enough! Happy to be wrong, would be great to jump on a Troika and mow 100 of the fukcers down

[MJ]

As long as you're dealing with more than Gears. It felt a bit sparse at times.

It was inevitable:

Bender is excited about Gears of War 2

As part of an interview with talented voice-actor John DiMaggio, voice of Futurama's Bender and Marcus Fenix in Gears of War, DiMaggio sheds some light on what to expect in Gears 2, including a fresh confrontation with a Brumak, new weapons and more. He was clearly excited to be a part of the sequel and was genuinely impressed by what he saw.

In terms of production schedule, it appears DiMaggio has been working on his contribution for a while. Interestingly, in addition to once again voicing Fenix, he also reprises the role of Franklin – leader of the Stranded, who plays a role in the Nighfall chapter as he guides the player through the checkpoints towards the gas station.

"We're doing Gears of War 2 right now; we're in the middle of production. I'm reprising my role as Marcus again." He continues, "I'm doing one of the characters, Franklin – those are the two that I'm reprising."

Franklin's return is interesting - does this suggest we're going to be revisiting some areas from the last game? Let the speculation commence. In addition to those nuggets, DiMaggio also went on to confirm you'll be facing Brumaks head-on – and that's just the beginning.

"It's badass. In fact, I saw some of the stuff yesterday! Which level was it? It was, well listen, there's bigger beasts in this game. Bigger beasts. Remember the scene with the Brumak, when the Brumak comes out and we're like 'Brumak! Roll! Get outta there!' and it's coming after them – and they don't have a fight with him? Well, they fight him now."

He continues his enthusiasm towards the game, hinting that production has ramped up most aspects of the original tile. "Oh man, dude – there's new weapons, new beasts, there's a couple of new characters, and it's just badass."

In terms of presentation, "It looks cool as s---. The storylines are really cool and the relationships of the guys in the game – the sequences that explain things that are going on – they're a lot deeper. Most of the voice-actors who do the games are friends, so it's kinda cool – we're all fans of the game."

Hard to get excited about the Brumak fight seeing it was already done on the PC version, and they didn't have the imagination to make it anything more than a pretty silly on foot battle.

Let's hope they'll have the sense to do something like a vehicle battle in Gears 2.

Really looking forward to this

As for the figures I have the Marcus one and the headshot one (albeit with head) on preorder from Play

[chopemon]

You want infoz?

The webz has infoz!

[SkilloChris]

Cheers for the link, this sounds freakin' sweet! Seems to be on a much bigger scale, which can only be a good thing!

[TheForce]

It all sound mighty promising, I just hope they don't try to do too much, I hope they don't make it a non stop massive battlefield, as I loved the creepy parts of the 1st game

Really looking forward to this one !

What month is MGS4 dropping? Surely not Nov 2008?
