14 DAY TRIAL // I am sure you already know that Gears of War 2 will be "Bigger, better and more bad a**," as designer Cliff Bleszinski keeps saying, but I am also sure you know that actual details had to arise sooner or later. And so they did, even though they are just in rumor stage at the moment. Only because they haven't been officially confirmed yet. Emphasis on yet.
Website Xbox360fanboy presents the details explained in an article from print magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly, from weapons and stats and stuff never known before. First of all, to say the thing everybody expected to hear: yeas, Bleszinski said his "bigger, better..." line when asked about the rumored 4-player co-op. However, we will probably get some AI bots for the 10-player multiplayer, as well as a bit of social stuff, like screenshot capture and website upload, plus voting for the best ones. Also, there will be a Dead Rising-like photo-mode and other score methods. It appears that the save film possibility is an option for Epic.
A host of new weapons are on the way, like the Gorgon Burst Pistol, the Scorcher (a flamethrower), the Boltok Pistol and many more, as well as all sorts of killing moves, both offensive and defensive, such as picking up an enemy while he's bleeding out and use him as meat shield. Pretty cool, right?
For a game expected to be released this November, we don't have too many details. Probably the developers are allowed to keep us waiting like that because we're talking about Gears of War and not any game. Still, we would really love to know more. At least 60 screenshots and 4-5 gameplay trailers would be nice for starters. And I promise I won't be asking for more until August.
