Gears of War 2 GI scans

First images of Gears of War 2.

[Fishy Fingers]

Cheers for the Scan's NoUseMerc, they're really appreciated!

:) post a comment and i'll bubble you up!

[Bill Nye]

It really bugs me how digital photographs of a magazine have become synonymous with "scans".

[Fishy Fingers]

The term "scans" has just become synonymous with images of magazines. Its the quickest, easiest way to describe them.

[SL1M DADDY]

Agreed. I was just about to post thanks for the pics but lets not call cell phone pics scans. The poor quality is getting to me. Doesn't anybody here have a Printer/Scanner/Copier these days? lol

[Danja]

pics weren't so clear either...

bad scans

[Bolts]

Worst scans, ever. If you're gonna scan then do it right this looks like someone just took a crap on the pages then scan it on to their comp.

[tudors]

on a PS3 site, true gamers.

[sleepbox]

yea, obviously no TRUE gamers on this site...notice all your disagrees. Pathetic.

[Timesplitter14]

well I guess people think you're saying that N4G is a PS3 site. That's what I thought at first. That's why you get so many disagrees

[Richdad]

Competition is the instinct of every gamer and if they dont how the hell they could be gamers.

[tudors]

you can tell theres a big difference from the 1st.

[The Closing]

From what I could make out it looks really great. The new locust look much more menacing than before.

[littletad]

Love the new look for gridlock. For some reason it reminds me of a western sunrise. Either that or the fact that a character now actually has a cowboy hat in Gears. Fight for humanity means nothing for them cowboys.

[littletad]

By the way, is that Dom's sister ?

[The Closing]

His wife.

[Charlie2688]

Is it obligatory for the usual "scans" to be THE worst take pictures possible? is it the main goal to create the most blurry picture ever?

aren't scans suppose to be done with SCANNERS...not cellphone quality cameras?

-_-

[Fishy Fingers]

Close encounter of the... blurred kind.

[tudors]

release of Gears 2 and Resistance 2, how these games turn out will give us an idea of just how next gen that next gen really is, killzone 2 is too dark for my liking but GOW2 and R2 make3 for good comparisons.

[Honeal2g]

both are gonna be great games, and i;m hearing nothing but good news about the story line gears. Hopefully it gets well deserved story to go with the amazing gameplay. I hope they take notes on What Cod4 and Halo has done with there matchmaking system. my only gripe with xbox live is why do we pay 50$ dollars to host our own games? we should get dedicated servers, atleast for shooters. or find someway to fix latency issues kinda like bungie did. Idk if anyone plays h3 but i used to play h2 and i would get standby'd like everyother game, Now i;m not sayin that cant do it on halo3 but i can say it hasnt happend once to me. *End Tangent* lol just had to vent my emotions sorry lol

[tudors]

Got this from google images, the source seesm good as it actually ended up on gamespot forums.

[miasma]

Good image tudors, bubbles up...

[SUP3R]

That's an altered Chimera!!

[Mwaan]

That's a Brumak. It was in the first game, which released before Resistance. Nice try.

[MasterChief2829]

That's from a tech demo of Gears 1, that's really old, not a scan.

[miasma]

If it says "scans" then do scans, not photos. Blurred photos not exciting. Will be more interested when the images are of some clarity...

[SL1M DADDY]

But those photos aren't. I am definitely looking forward to this game.

[InMyOpinion]

This game will rock! I wanna find out more about the Dizzt character...he looks interesting. I wonder if the new characters are playable or act as NPC's?

[goldenzealot]

This game is better than all the ps3 games combined!

[SUP3R]

uh huh...

Dream dream dream

[TheEndzor]

Will be a good game. But too bad its on the xbox as it could have even more potential on the ps3

[poos3]

fable 2,gta 4,too human, alanwake, fallout3, ninja gaiden 2,gears of war2 willo make all games being released this year look,play like crap also i have bought consoles .

[brothersimon]

True. Better than all future ps3 games too

i mean they like it so much they post it on a PS3 forum hahahahahahah

[HarryEtTubMan]

hahaha I have a Xbox 360 and hell no it doesn't. Xbox 360 fans have run out of everything. So just say yea!!! Gears 2 is so cool!!! Unreal Engine FTW!!! HAHAHA PS3 has too mant badass games coming out.

MGS4 will merk EVERYTHING. Read the previews and wait for the reviews.

[Pain]

keep dreaming kids

and have fun with lmao what was it 5v5 online? hahahahahahaha poor old inferior xbox cant and wont do anything beter .

and Please stop talking Xbots ,PS3 will Hand RROD 2's A$$ on a Gold Plate by end of Year.
but u Xbots u cant See it Coming cuz u Blinded by RROD.

oh and on a side note Gears will look beter lol On PC like all Made for Windows er XBOX games...

[Varsarus]

Enjoy your 5 on 5 mp.

[Iron Man 2]

LMFAO in your wet dreams you brainless Xzombie!

MGS4 alone will PWN Tears Of Bore 2,Tears Of Bore 1 had no story,laggy a*s online,and it was short as hell,I beat the crappy game in under 5 hours,prepare to be dissapointed,Gears Of War 3 will also be on the PS3 as will BioShock 2 so enjoy them while they last zombies!;)

[TurdStationPee]

One thing's for certain, Gears 2 is going to utterly destroy every single one of you worthless, pathetic, scum-sucking droids.

[hack6464]

Dude you must be on some serious sh!t if you think GeoW2 will be better than all ps3 games combine... let alone just one(be that MGS4 or R2) Of couse it will be great and of course it will sell sh!t loads but come on be reasonable here. Pshh...Crazy Fanboy.

[Fat Bastard]

Why am I not impressed? Oh yea, cause it's a sucky game on a sucky console, which equals a piece of shiit experience. Haha, keep dreaming you have anything this year

[psnDevistator356]

That a good game has to be on such a sh_itty console. oh well you xbox owners need one good game right?

[goldenzealot]

reality reality reality

[kewlkat007]

hey there is a Woman in there, is she playable?

I gotta get the new GI then,I have not bought a game mag in years. Some should do he same instead of complaining about these scans. Thanks to the Uploader at least.

I already seen Sh^t that was not in Gears 2, looks like they will focus on the story a little more. (I hope)

I wonder if there will be 8 Characters to choose from? Lots of question, but I believe this game will be the hottest selling Shooter in 2008 going into 09.

Bring it!!

[Darkiewonder]

I guess this will just be a teaser for a much clear image ;o

[rootEXT]

Can someone please post a better quality picture. Gears of War 2 is going to cut in half the sales chart. This is my 2nd anticipated title this 2008 next to METAL GEAR SOLID 4 ( Game of the Year 2008! )

[poos3]

no ps3 game play or looks ebtter than gear of war 1 i should no .

[Alcohog]

Are you on crack? Have you played Uncharted on PS3? I'm sorry Gears was a decent game, although lacking story, with great visuals...but Uncharted pretty much took Gears out of the equation in terms of visuals. Lol, kids.

[zapass]

aren't you bored wanking over magazine scans?
watabunchanoobs, WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHHA!

[Sayai jin]

It's shaping up very nicely. I expect this one to be epic. It was amazing how many consoles and XBL subscriptions spawned from Gears 1.

[SEAN1617]

Were the hell is cole and who the hell are these geeky people!! A cowboy hat over armor arrrrgggsss.=(

[dalibor]

Don't be judging the characters already, that cowboy hat dude could be one bad*ss to play, he might be better than main character, dom i think his name was. Its nice that they got a female this time, i like that.
By the way it wasn't me who disagreed with ya bro. We are all entitled to our own opinions.

[XENOCIDE]

I wouldn't worry. If you looked closely enough you'd notice that in each screen the playable character seems to be, once again, Marcus. Notice the bandana?

[dalibor]

It would be cool to be able to play all those characters at certain points of the game, you know what i mean? If its done right. I would like to know more about 'em. What a year its going to be.

[ceedubya9]

Bring it on. Can't wait until I get this GI issue.

[ThaGeNeCySt]

lmao for a second I thought Dizzy was that chuck norris guy with the cowboy hat from Fallout 3

[George Washington]

woooahhhh those are the worst "scans" ive ever seen in my life. wtf did they take those with? a 5 year old pc webcam?

[dalibor]

At least you got to see some of the characters, and some enemies that are going to be in the game which is nice. Oh could i get your autograph george washington haha you should of had some security to protect you damn it.

[George Washington]

nice to see that people still remember me :D you want my signature?look no further than your wallet cause you probably already have it lol.

[dalibor]

Its always a good thing to have a little laugh here and there

[TheJBag]

had awesome gameplay, it was a blast to play, but the story was seriously lacking...

most of the time it was like
"why am i doing, this, who is that guy?"

i felt no real motivation to kill the enemy, or even to complete the game, except for getting some sweet chainsaw kills..

and i am really big on story, that why i LOVE Mgs.
I really hope cliffy fixes the story, or at least the narrative in this one..

But as for the scans.
Looks better than UT3, and that looks really good. Cant wait for this game!

[dalibor]

It looks like your in for a treat, gears 2 looks like its going to have a great story, it seems like there are more characters than the previous installment. Like that woman, i think she is doms wife or someone he knew, so you know that there prob will be some flashbacks if she is dead, but like i said more characters mean more possibilities of having an awesome story. This game and mgs4 are going to rock, they are going to have an awesome story and online play. Heres to hoping. Great times to be a gamer.

I didn't disagree with ya bud, just so you know.

[mesh1]

hey kid u made a mistake u shuold refresh ur kiddish baboon commnet to it looks better than gears of war 1 cause ut 3 looks and plays like garbage and was forgotting very quickly to save embarrassment to the great franchise which has now collapse and all it resource being pumped into the gears of war series if u have play gears of war 1 u would know the game plays and looks much better than ut3 in every way all u have to to do is show gameplay footage side by side to make fanboy commnets about ut3 vanish.

[kewlkat007]

I find it hard for you, to really be excited for this game...bro

Almost like your waiting for this perfect game, ain't gonna happen.

[Jeromejones]

like the inclusion of those new characters. Should be a great game, although those scans didnt really reveal much about graphx, im pretty sure this wont stack up among the best on console when released as the engine tech demo didnt really impress me apart from a few cool looking stuff. Resistance 2 and killzone 2 i bet will trump this graphically when there current builds are revealed, but gears atm is likely to be the better game based on history. Well only time will tell.

[nevelo07]

all you xbots think gears of unreal engine aka beefy men graphics, great game no lie but nothing like msg4, dude its the same unreal engine from years ago with improvements arent you guys tired of walking around eith men that look like big beef cows. i own all 3 consoles and lookin forward to ninja gaiden2 mgs4 killzone2 gears is a maybe title for me, it will never be what mgs4 is going to be i mean never.

[iceice123]

Try harder little lemming. MGS4 is nothing compard to how gears looks and plays. You want stunning look at what GI is showing us and wait until you see what they have for us at E3. You'll question your purchase of the Sony paperewight that day.

[Room 641-A 8 5neDDaM]

impressed.

[ROCCOZILLA]

you have not a clue how crazy the grafix will be in KZ2.sorry to see you xbots only have one game to bank on.and oh yeah MGS4,dont even bother trying to beat this game.sorry guys but the xbox got left in 2007 bye bye.PLAY B3YOND waaaaaaaaaaaaay B3YOND!!

[t-0_ot-]

"you have not a clue how crazy the grafix will be in KZ2" Either do you...

"sorry to see you xbots only have one game to bank on" Oh, don't worry.. there's plenty more.. Read the list that poos3 gave. And, that's LESS than HALF of them

[bigjclassic]

Hopefully Epic can pull those images ingame then we'll have a monster on our hands. Its gonna have tough competition this year though.

[George Washington]

wow doms wife is as hot as the new monsters

[pshizle]

is this

gameinformer????

[solidboss]

a fuking cowboy in cog uniform? n the other guy looks like he came out of crackdown and put on a cog uniform. i hope they die early in the game and u get baird and cole back in your team. everything else is looking good

[Honeal2g]

u meet up with the rest of the gang at a later point in the game. And thats according to reports from the scans...so obviously it may not be concrete but its something

[Rhezin]

Yeah the ps3 list of exclusives SUCK! more than half of those games are crap imported games that will score below a 5. Ps3 has got NoTHING on 360.

[Sesshomarux88]

all of you psh*t3 fans can yust suck it because kill zone 1 sucks the graphics suck and the sec kill zone will suck as much as the first.
gears is a must bye for all xbox360 fans mostly but for my I will be waiting in line on first day to pick up so you psh*t3 can kiss is because I donut like kill zone I had Psht3 and it sh*t out on me so im sick of it the ps3 sucks nuts the games suck the system really sucks UT3 sucked on ps3 bad graphical pop ups so there you have it you psh*t3 fans and i want you to talk crap please lits wait and see shall we.

PS f@ck you and good day I seed good day

[Alcohog]

Is this the Microsoft fanboy official spokesperson?? LOL.

[psnDevistator356]

Killzone 1 was on ps2, number two is gonna suck?

OK whatever you say. Your smart, you should run for president or something or cure cancer. Because you have such good logic.

[Varsarus]

It's funny that all xbots are just chanting "Gears of War 2" JUST ONE GAME ROFL. When we ps3 fans can say MGS4, R2, K2, LBP, HOME, GT5. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

[alcaponedya]

but it's all "effects" from the unreal engine.
glossy shiny plastic.

[u got owned]

LBP, HOME, K2? That's a good one!

LBP = Gay @ss game
Home = not a game
K2 = over rated, over hyped colorless game.

[Ariexv]

We only name 1 because that's all it takes to knock down the entire Gaystation line-up. If we named all the 360 exclusives this year we'd have to deal with the mass Suicides of the delaystation owners.

[mesh1]

something people keep forgettting about mgs4 is that it has 1 of the worst game lighting to date it looks like ur in a dark desert most of the time

[Aquanox]

Learned how to scan yet?

XD

[3sexty rulzzz]

HOW can you come this thread and hate on gears, have you looked at mgs4 colorless venture. excuse me, but why is everything in the game is saturated n either green on grey, where is the color content. you f*ckers are praising a game that looks like sh!t compared to most of the AAA game for 360. dream on and continue WAITING BEYOND!!!!!!!!

[jcfilth]

we don't get what???Red Rings Of Death? faulty disk trays? reading disk errors? scratched games? overhyped games to disappoint? a company that don't gives a damn about its costumers????
Yeah, of course we don't!! we are smart people who buy smart reliable consoles that offer a lot more than video games.Too smart for todays developers, some have said that the full power of the PS3 will problably never be reached.

so, you think Gears of War is very color full?? lol

no doubt you bought a 360, your brain is just like that console you bought..;D I can see your eyes having a RROD :D lol

[BlackIceJoe]

I must say Maria really is attractive. I can't wait to get back into the fight to take out the Locust. Gears 2 is going to rock my socks off.

[jackdoe]

PS3forums? Lol. Anyway, scans are poor quality but the information provided is interesting as hell. Looks like GeoW 2 will expand the story and number of characters and that is always a good thing.

[Tyrael]

Game is going to kick ace

[lelik]

sexty plays gow but loves his color. you're a joke stop posting the same thing everywhere you go.

[The Closing]

He's going to get marryied (a sexty spelling) to all the colors in the rainbow, and have retarded technicolor children. That is once he finishes his online college courses, and gets a job at Circle K hoping one day to move up to managment.

[zonetrooper5]

JESUS CHIRST, GRIDLOCK LOOKS SICK haha. Can't wait for this game, they have been developing this game since before Gears of War 1.

[The Closing]

Before Gears of War 1 was released*

[Dnarbeis]

Nice, but why is it posted on PS3forum? :P

[hack6464]

GeoW2 for ps3 confirmed... lol... j/k. That is pretty strange though.

[Dann7978]

I cant wait to see the RRoD's when this game comes out

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

At least for a while we will still have a better game, and we have a sh!t load of better game's (plural) till our system RROD's. I guess it's kinda hard to RROD a PS3 when your only watching movies, and only have 3 good games to play. I don't think MS anticipated all the great games the 360 would have, we are always putting in a game, taking it out, and putting in another "all day long". Sucks to be us Xbot's, we have all these games to play and never enought time to play em, hell we have to wait for an RROD just to get a break. Well... I guess waiting for an RROD is better then waiting for "everything".

[LarVanian]

QUEERS OF WAR 2!!!!
http://www.n4g.com/ViewComI...

[brothersimon]

ahh u mad??

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Hell yeah he's mad, he is a Droid and he's still waiting for sh!t.

[TurdStationPee]

Why is it the morons always make the scans? I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. HELLO. AND WHY THE F*CK IS THAT DUDE WEARING A GOD DAMN COWBOY HAT. AS IF EVERYONE ON THE FACE OF THE WORLD DIDN'T HATE THAT N1GGER B1TCH COAL TRAIN AND HIS MONKEY PERSONALITY, NOW WE GET THE WHITEY TRAILER TRASH VERSION OF HIM. GREAT.

[zonetrooper5]

CRYSIS > YOUR POS3 AND 3FIXME LAWLAWLOLOLOL

PC > CONSOLES AHAHAHHA STUPID XBOTS AND SONY DROIDS. PC GAMERS HAVE BETTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE THEN 3FIXME POS3 LOLLOLOL. ENJOY HAVING DOWNGRADED CRAPPY GAMES!

So...I can be a fanboy too or a troll....

[brothersimon]

Oh yeah the game nobody can play with good FPS. (sorta like the PS3.)

[lelik]

high end computer capable of running crysis: 1500+ dollars
ps3 capable of running crysis at near high settings: 400 dollars

LOL WERE SO DUMB LOLOLOLOLOLOL MEBE WE SHUD BUY 4 PS3s AND TRY TO PUT EM NEXT TO EACH OTHAR AND ITL WORK LIKE UR SLI. MEBE THAN WE WILL BE GOOD LIKE PC LOLOLOLOL. WE R NEWBS!!!

[power of Green]

"ps3 capable of running crysis at near high settings" PS3 fanboy twist and lies.

The devs said they will be able to get the console versions for Far Cry 2 running near High PC settings. They said that their tech will make better use of PS3's hardware vs what devs have done on the PS3 thus far(meaning they can make games more PC/360-like vs MGS4-ish and Lair-ish) PS3 won't be left behind or hold back titles for the other platforms on their engine/tech.

[TitanUp]

gears of war 2 is going to be a fun game

[sleepbox]

When all the BS ends and MGS4 is released, by the time Geow2 is released, all will have completed the MGS4 single player, millions of pages of horrible MGS4 fan fiction will be written and all MGS4 fans will have then realized what a piece of utter crap MGSO is.

Seriously, MGS3S was a complete joke online. MGS:O could have 10,000 vs 10,000 players but it wouldn't matter because the game will suck. Gears will be a phenomenon and destroy all other console online games once released for the next year or so.

[hack6464]

I dont know if you're saying that MGS4 will suck or MGSO will suck. If your saying MGS4 will suck you must be on dat kush. If your saying MGSO will suck, well you may be right, but how do you know? You don't, it could be amazing. It probably wont be but my point is how can you judge something that you have seen VERY LITTLE ABOUT. The beta is coming up soon so we will see then.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a bad dream, for a sec there I thought I was a PS3 fan and had to deal with another jealous day of not having Xbox games. Wew! Thank god my 360 is a gaming console that plays so many fantastic GOTY quality games, and still graphicly unbeatable console games :)

The first Gears did a crotch stomp on any game on the PS3 (still) Gears 2 will be a crotch stomp with spiked boots, and a little twist for extra pain. Hell Droids even started Gears going PS3 rumors over the past two years because they want it so much. Just watch us play this game in November, I'm sure there will be plenty of video to rub it in those last gen graphic, 30fps, jaggie, washed out, gray game, free network with nobody on faces.

[yesah]

you always rant and spaz in your comments.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

You don't like it? hit the ignore button, join the droid army.

Your probably a multiple Droid account anyway, so you probably have like 4 or 5 ignores on me already.

Jump in the fight or STFU, I'll be ranting like this for a loooooong time, like when your on your 20 or 30th account.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Jason 360 rules.

[NinjaRyu]

I don't understand how PS3 fanboys talk about the RROD over & over again, yet when anyone talks about the Disk Read Error Problems with the PS1 & PS2 you guys act like it never happend. It feel it's kinda f***ed up to make fun of the 360 for it hardware problem when a few years ago you had the same problem with your consoles. That's just sad!

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Can't wait for this game to rock my 51 inch Toshiba, and my Pioneer. THX

[Chuk5]

I can't wait to get it
Top games 08
mgs4,geow2,brawl,gtaiv,Lbp,fa llout 3,ng2,fable2,socom,mk wii,resistance 2

[DoubleVeez]

well i gotta say GOW2 looks absolutely monster!!!there is nothin to say.. and regardless wha sony peeps are yappin about.. there are some serious games on the 360 this year

1.alan wake
2.gears of war 2
3.ninjagaiden 2
4.too human
5.fable 2

now on the sony side
1.killzone 2
2.GT5
3.LBP
4.RESISTANCE 2
5.metal gear solid 4

now im no sony fan but killzone and resistance and metal gear are legit!! but cmon....GOW2?! every body knows itll pwn!! lol ... sorry had to get a lil fanboyish there .. sh*& is gonna be on in this fall.. if MS would have had a blu ray drive or at least an hddvd drive intergrated they would have slaughtered the ps3 long ago

and please.. LBP is no killer app!!!! keep in min banjo kazzooie might be the bomb too(i still have a litle faith in rare) remember rare is capable of of greatness be careful.. we have been sleepin on em they might just eli manning our asses!

[hack6464]

This fall will be heaven for shooter fans. Geow2, KZ2, R2 and probably some multiplats(not sure what) as well.

[bigcheda]

wonder how many RRODs this game is going to cause. Game should be amazing, cant wait. Just hope they fix the POS multiplayer (they should, UT3 supported a much better MP experience).

[Bastard 360]

YEA GET IT SUCKS, NOW CAN YOU DIG DAT SUCKAAAAAAAAS.

[hack6464]

Ya know, I never really got why GeoW was so good. I guess i wasnt really able to get into it. I will give it props though because it had great graphics and i really did enjoy playing coop but besides that it what was so good about it? I mean the multiplayer was lousy (still arent going more than 5v5...thats pathetic in my opinion) and the story was pretty crappy too. Anyway enough of my little rant this game will probably end up being one of the best games of 2008 and the best 2008 game on the 360. Good day.

[jinn]

shooter of the year

[AngryTypingGuy]

Definitely. I can't wait for GOW 2, Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5, and possibly the sleeper hit of the year, Ghostbusters!

[ThichQuangDuck]

Just be happy someone scannned it if you want to read it so bad you can buy it. But anyway back to the game new Gridlock looks awesome and Tai Kelso is my new preferred cog.

[InYourMom]

Day 1 purchase for me! Come on Epic, make it an Epic! =)

[lelik]

GUYS I HEAR IT HAS 5V5 ONLINEZ AND COVAR MACHANICS! THE BEST GAME EVAR.

srsly tho co op is the only thing that made that game amazing. cover is for newbs but unfortunately its the new hotness. im not sayin resistance was better but judging by what we hear of gow2 r2 WILL be better. sorry.

name one groundbreaking achievement of gow2?

[Apotheosis]

I think Epic is going to add a lot of needed improvements to this series with the second installment, and if they pull it off right, it'll be better in every respect to the original.

[lelik]

nothing? its been 4 hrs.
