CliffyB: Gears of War 2 co-op will be "bigger and better"

"We're not announcing anything about co-op at this time, we'll probably get around to it around E3 time, but rest assured, it will be bigger and better,"
-CliffyB

[TheHater]

You guys also stated that UT3 will have a story which is good. That didn't happen either. So I will wait an play for myself

[pharmd]

it should be "bigger and better" its single player x2

[Mozilla89]

I know its like he feels this need to keep on reminding us that it's going to be better.

Well of course it should be better, its a sequel! Just how much better is the question...

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

CliffyB didn't do UT3, so I assume he had nothing to do with the story.

[ChrisGTR1]

LOL so very true. i wish MS werent d1cks about user made content so i would buy this game. although maybe i wouldnt get it anyways since i only rented it for my ps3. i was looking forward to making mods on ps3 version up until i realized i also had to buy the PC version just for the editor

[Bolts]

It'll be like singleplayer, BUT with a friend! OMG brilliant!

[ThanatosDMC]

I hope it wont end up like Army of Two...

[iamtehpwn]

His girlfriend says otherwise, though.

[ICUP]

"CliffyB says Everything he does will be "Bigger and better"
His girlfriend says otherwise, though."

Oh snap!!!!.

Yo CliffyB, let the game speak for it self and stop hyping the game to death.

[SolidSnake93]

Well I think that this might be a bit different a least I hope that the co-op will be good. I think that competition has improved the franchise (Resistance being its main one).

[Superfragilistic]

As much as you may or may not have liked Halo 3, don't forget that it's 4player coop from Sept 07 is the real reason we are seeing it in Gears 2 & twice that in Resistance 2. Halo 3 set the bar for console gaming online, and we'll all benefit as titles such as Resistance 2 take that bar and push it even higher!

[masterofpwnage]

if its like resistance co-op mode then yes it will be better and bigger then the first

if not then i think it will be the same

probably just little add ons

[highps3]

Ive heard that exact phrase in almost everyone if his interviews lately... Keep building the hype... lol

[Superfragilistic]

I was just disappointed he forgot to add "badass"! WTF?

[Skerj]

4 players maybe?

[ThanatosDMC]

No, they'll have 9 players. They'll need to one up the competition.

[SolidSnake93]

Ted Price says i'll raise you 2.
2 days later Cliffy B. announces 12 player co-op.
IGN 1 month later
It looks as if both R2 and GeOW2 will feature 16 player co-op.
That way both console owners can enjoy!

[efjio17]

he says "bigger, better, and more bada**" about everything in gears 2.

[Grassroots]

Cliff like the 3 b's a little too much, Either way the game is looking like the first just with more content which is a great thing IMO.

[Jim Crowslaw]

well where u think he gets the B in CliffyB from. Oh dont tell me u fell for that Blenzisky crap

[juuken]

Blah, blah, blah.

How about doing some showing instead of talking Cliffy?

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

Let's be honest, this game is going to improve the series but its not like its going to revolutionize it. If you listened to all the hype you'd think that's what its trying to do.

The first Gears had a paper thin plot, the bar isn't exactly set high. The first games weakest point was its campaign mode.

And I thought Cliffy B came out and said games like MGS4, games that are more cinematic are "passive" entertainment.

...I geuss well just have to wait for E3.

[SolidSnake93]

Gears is looking good. Hopefully it will come out on PC.

[kazuma]

ofc it will

[Aclay]

Almost every major 360 game comes out on the PC or is coming out on the PC (Mass Effect, Gears, Bioshock, Splinter Cell Conviction, etc..). I'm just glad the PS3 actually has exclusives.

[ChrisGTR1]

lol. why the hate? im shure mgs4 is feeling pretty jumpy being the only third party exclusive to ps3 thats any good.

[plenty a tool]

you are the one of the worst fanboy trolls on here! how many people having decent pc's that can play the games you mentioned as good as the 360 does???

microsoft wanted pc games and 360 games to go hand in hand, because it would mean more software.

obviously, unlike your precious ps3, with hardly any games at-all.

---------> open zone is that way, that's where you should post when it's a 360 thread because you are a bad fanboy!

[clintos59]

Are the character models, lol. Which he is correct. They do look like overgrown steroid users and look like they can kick some a$$. If he meant it with the number of players, lol. Then I guess a whopping 2 more players to add to multiplayer is a huge leap in there book, or is the latest leap of what the great unreal engine 3.5 can do for them, lol. Amazing none the less /sarcasm.

[beavis4play]

if cliffy wants that, he ought to look at what insomniac is attempting with resistance 2 multi-player and co-op. now THAT is bigger and (hopefully) better. and as far as badass goes....anyone seen some 300 ft. bosses in resistance 2 lately? wow.

[ThanatosDMC]

About the 300ft bosses... you need to ride your horse... grab it's leg... climb to the top and hit the glowing thing... then it will fall. Then you'll be able to save the PRINCESS!!!

[Lew_Ijgee]

Don't forget attempting to see how far away you can get from the black stringy stuff that comes after you when the boss dies!!

[Exile__]

CliffyB needs to think of some other way to describe Gears 2.. Bigger & Better is getting old

[Bill Gates]

Yeah whatever you say CliffNutJob.....AAHHAHHAHAHHAH AHA

That's exacly how the BABOONS like it up their butts too....AHAHAHAHHAHAHA

but it won't match Resistance 2's superior online experience, offering 60 players online support only possible on PSN .

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

You know Frontlines has 50 players don't you?

[ThanatosDMC]

But he said 60 or what did you miss?

[meepmoopmeep]

your vocabulary is simply Epic, cliffy

:P

[Isaac]

They're ripping off on Resistance 2. Oh well, as they say: "follow the leader".

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

?

[n00bzRtehgey]

LOL, I think he actually thinks that Epic is trying to make GEARS more like Constipation! LMFAO.

and don't be a moron. Halo 4 had 4 player coop before anyone else. and halo 1 was the first game ever made with coop at all. if anyone is stealing something, it's constipation from halo.

dumbass.

[Lew_Ijgee]

Co-op gameplay was not invited with Halo. Look it up.

[n00bzRtehgey]

actually it was. and btw excuse my typo. halo 3 was also the first to have 4 player coop. constipation is nothing but in imitator and a flop!

[shadow-sentinel]

*Looks at 1985's Gauntlet and other old school games*

[Kleptic]

Twisted Metal 2 had co-op in 1996...still one of the best co-op games to date...but it was no where near the first game with co-op...

halo invented co-op?...bwaaahahahahahhaha... I should throw a brick at you...douche...

[n00bzRtehgey]

wow, u n00bz are DUMB. do I have to spell everything out for you?

Halo 1 was the first console FPS to offer COOP. Halo 2 was the first to offer online Matchmaking. Halo 3 was the first FPS to offer 4 player COOP.

Resistance sucks. Deal with it.

[Lew_Ijgee]

I'm pretty sure Perfect Dark (a FPS) for the N64 (a console) had co-op.

[n00bzRtehgey]

It may have. If it did, I never tried it out.

What Halo did with Coop was a revolution in gaming. No levels. Just from start to finish. The whole game. Dying, and spawning. All that.

[beavis4play]

saying this over and over....he starting to sound like he's trying to convince himself it will turn out great. (and he sounds just a little too insistant about it...kinda like dyack and too human)

and i'm not ripping gears at all; i'm sure it'll be good....but as good as cliff is saying (and hoping)? we'll see.

edit: oh, those chainsaw duels in gears2 are looking pretty f#ckin sweet!

[RecSpec]

He's paid to say that...

[meepmoopmeep]

Mark Rein has officially made a public statement that due to the immense and profound heat and smoke generated from powering on an Xbox 360, it has effected the entire Gears of War development team and has rendered their mental and vocabulary I.Q's to that of a second grader.

However, Mark Rein stated that it was a good thing because scientific measurements have stated the fact that the majority of Xbox owners have very low I.Q's and could not comprehend many complex words and so claiming Gears of War 2 is "bigger" "better" and "badass" could be understood by the Xbox populace avoiding massive confusion.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Sounds to me like you just wan't this game...:)

[meepmoopmeep]

of course i want this game. looks awesome :)

[Whoooop]

what do I need to do to become part of the program... I want to help them too.

[meepmoopmeep]

Well our motto is that we truly want to help them learn how to unleash the anger and fury within, and become zen with the peaceful universe so that they can finally admit that they want to snuggle the little purple bunny.

the best way is to grab the fury from it's roots and attack it at its source.

So all you have to do is unleash the anger as best you can.

"RAAAGE! LET ME FEEL YOUR RAAAAGE!"

[Lew_Ijgee]

Just Bigger and Better, but not more Bad Ass?

[thenickel]

I can't wait to see what they show this E3. Give me some 4 player co op, make the levels bigger, and don't pull me out of the game for anything is all I'm asking.

[Whoooop]

I have no doubt, but Cliffy...... Shut the f*ck up.. PLEASE

:)

[grantps3]

resistance 2 is "greater and grander" than gears of war 2 and cliffy B. knows it

[Deadman64]

just like resistance 1 was "greater and grander" than gears of war 1??? lol silly fanboy.

[Isaac]

"just like resistance 1 was "greater and grander" than gears of war 1??? lol silly fanboy. "

Resistance 1 was rushed to be launched on a hard to develop for console with zero install base, Gears 1 had innovation in matters of gameplay and graphics, not to mention it had a stable Xbox Live with achievements. This time, Resistance 2 will have trophies, a much stronger PSN, home, innovation in terms of graphics and gameplay, and the biggest co-op and multiplayer modes to ever grace any console FPS. And to top it off, the resistance storyline always had more production values than the gears storyline.

Who is the silly fanboy now?

[et617]

Didn't he say to not call him CliffyB anymore?!? He wants to be a serious grown man for God's sake!

As for GoW2 so far the game seems to be going ok and hope there is more gameplay at E3.

[ChrisGTR1]

i didnt know cliffy b read these messages lol.

[PirateThom]

If he wants to be treated like an adult, he'll stop saying everything is "bigger and better" and give detailed examples of why this is so.

[ThanatosDMC]

It's GeoW2 not GoW... blah blah blah... end of lameness

[ChrisGTR1]

"gears 2 will have more pixels, darker tone, and more evolved characters? "

[PirateThom]

That's barely even information.

Hard figures:

NUMBER OF CO-OP PLAYERS
GAME LENGTH

Things like that.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

It should be 4 player coop, because Gears has 2, or maybe they will do 5 to match the multiplayer 5v5.

[meepmoopmeep]

yeah, i think they'll up the co-op and online matches for sure.

[crimsonfox]

so i can enjoy this game...

but why is this on the ps3 page?

[djtek184]

Cliffy B: Gears of War 2 co-op will be " bigger, longer and, harder" just how the Xbot likes it.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

let me guess, that bothers people,

well I like it.

[wangdiddy82]

cliffy B been taking to many steroids thats why those are the only words that come out of his mouth.. bigger better and more bad a$$.. Wheres my steroids..

[badz149]

lol thats funny! bubbles for you. seems like you really need another one! promise you'll use it wisely, ok?

back to the topic, "bigger and better" - CliffB dude, it's your 2nd coming of the series, so? are you thinking that gamers are expecting "smaller and sucker"?? but whatever! just stop hyping it too much as there's actually only little left you can do to improve from the 1st one! just shut the fvck up and concentrate more on that!

[TrevorPhillips]

no it wont be bigger and better it will be worse and more laggy killzone 2 will be better!

[multipayer]

BIGGER- levels are larger and it probably contains more than 2 huge bosses like the first.. 5v5 multiplayer, and hundreds of AI-less locust hordes for background scenery is great for FOUR player co-op, I really think it is more than a rumor.

BETTER - New lighting and attention to detail, destructible environments, toned down action reload for sniper, and also the new stopping power that prevents someone from running up to you through bullets with a shotty, I belief it is part of the "meat physics".. you're meat.

BADASS - CQC hold, and several more fatality moves, and a flamethrower, sticking grenades to walls, chainsaw battling, portable cover, crawling etc..

The game sounds like it will have some record breaking physics and technical design.. another B movie plot would not stop me from buying this game.

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

If anything his little fella between his legs should be bigger and better. Gears sucks so bad, it's almoust impossible to improve it that much so it doesn't sucks anymore. But well, brainless slashing is all xbots care about lololol

[grantps3]

"just like resistance 1 was "greater and grander" than gears of war 1??? lol silly fanboy."

i didnt mean to sound like a fanboy, sorry
but there is an extreme improvment from R1 to resistance 2
and gears of war looks good and all but the only differences are graphicly and some minor "for show" things like the finishing moves. and some minor tweaks to weapons/ new weapons, but no revolutionary changes

but resistance 2 is COMPLETElY improoved

now 8 player online co-op
60 man online
2 campaigns
300ft leviethan
ect.

see there is not really a catagory were resistance 2 hasnt upscaled drasticly. both good games/both will sell good, but i think resistance 2 will come out on top

[Kleptic]

try to avoid intelligent logic such as this...you will be punished for it...

I still can't believe getpwned is up above hammering on about Halo being the first game to have co-op...360 fanboys are very very different people...

[DX F3NIX]

yea he can say bigger and better but would it live up to the hype.

[sevanig]

Yeh it will be big...

A big peice of turd :P

[power of Green]

Holy sh*t where are the 360 fans? I wan't to know how they feel about one of their exclusives.

[SL1M DADDY]

If he wants the hype train to keep up with the game. Sorry, but bigger and better than the first Gears won't be hard to do but what will be hard is trying to keep up with a game releasing around the same time with 60 players in the Multiplayer and an 8 player co-op mode with an online story that parallels the single player game... Yeah, Gears has some competition this time around.
