i pre ordered the day it was announced. now the long wait

Now even bullshots look bad.

def on my radar.

How come it looks worse than Gears 3? Characters look like plasticine.

Who was asking for this? I'm huge Gears fan, but have to say i was quite disappointed after the announcement of this game.

It's not really needed, is it? Milk that baby dry.

a new game after a year and a half?? in a franchise that had a new game every 2 years... hardly milking

Not impressed at all with this.

More Gears... Yes please :)

Gears had its climax with the campaign of GoW2.
Now it goes down the hill...

I'm in, gimme gimme gimme...

Gears 3 was far superior to 2.

looks great to me (graphically), unreal engine never shines in screenshots

So whose judgement call was it to make this prequel? Microsoft to keep its exclusives going? I didn't play Gears 3 but did it have a definite ending and hard to make a sequel or not?

it ended in a way there is no way there could have been a sequel. but really this prequel sounds awesome, the fact it takes place in a trial.. and the bits you play are the stories you are telling where you can determine the outcome, which changes the ending of the game

MP sure, SP not even close.

I agree with you Xoar...Gears 3 was way better than 2 IMO, loved it.

I am loving this!!! I could see myself spending hours playing Overrun!

Hopefully it will be great, I don't have such fond memories of Gears 3 to be honest, me and my friend did not like the ending, we would have liked to find out more about Queen Myrrah and that last boss....*shiver was not fun.

I actually think the first was the best. It was a fresh "thing" at that point. Second gears felt like an engine tech demo in parts, such as being inside the giant worm to show off the UE3"s soft body flesh physics. Third was the worst for me tho. I just found it very dull and repetative. Without likable characters, a good script or a good story, it all falls onto gameplay to keep you moving forward, problem is i found the gameplay stale by part 2. Thankfully they've all been split screen co-op so they've had a reason to be played.

I loved Gears 2, mainly because of the campaign. It was absolutely-over-the-top crazy action. Beeing inside the worm, fighting that huge monster on the raft, Flying that dragon thing... it was just "bigger better and more badass".
That exaggerative game-play fitted the game and the characters.

Gears 3 in comparision was very dull. No vehicular sequence to make it less monotonous and the scale of battles was quite a bit smaller. Plus I hated fighting those glowies.

I have no idea about the mp. Didnt really play it much. Feels very broken imo (in all Gears). MP actually was added in Gears 1 'spontaneously. The game is not designed for it. Although there have been some major improvements, I still find it crappy to play...

Gears 3 multiplayer is huuge improvement over the previous games. This + Horde 2.0 makes part 3 my favourite Gears by a long mile. :))
Talking about campaigns, i think Gears 2 has the best one.

Exactly, Gears 2 Campaign was was better than Gears 3, but the MP in Gears 3 is better than 2.

And that pretty much makes Gears 2 the better game IMO because I care more about the SP than the MP.

Epic made a mistake in making us fight those stupid orange glowing enemies, no satisfaction at all.

Ah hell, this! Pretty much the main thing that i hate in Gear 3 campaign. Half of the game you fight these. :(
