Gears of War 2 Leaked Early

Forum poster ''dreammastah'' over at Neogaf has posted images showing Gears of War 2 running on his Xbox 360.

Images at the link.

tehReaper5679d ago

It's sad that you reply to yourself.

marionz5679d ago

has anyone seen the vids on ign that show flying on the reavers! that sold me that this is way more impressive then the first gears, GOW2 is going to absolutely ROCK!

plus rideing on burmacks or even the multiplayer level that has random snow avolanches! bring it on!

graphics look top knotch, sony fans only cry about the unreal engine because the ps3 cant handle it, bioshock proves that much!

ReTarDedFisHy5679d ago

You're saying that the PS3 can't handle it when the X360 can't help but RROD when playing next-gen games? LMAO I smell irony.

ShinMaster5679d ago

Bioshock is a port. It's never gonna look the same.

On the other hand, Skate 2, Burnout, Dead Space, Rage, Mirror's Edge, etc, all running better on PS3, since it's developed on PS3 first and then ported to 360.
Period.

Lanoire5679d ago (Edited 5679d ago )

Thats what happens when you support the flopbox, EPIC.

This game is out, will be put on the internet soon as a torrent file and your is going to pirated soon!

100 million and 2 years of hardwork...DOWN THE DRAIN!
Next time, use your damn head. Supporting the 360 will only end in pain.

Lol did you see those shiatty images? Nothing at all like those bullshots from Epic lol. Gears of war 1.1 confirmed.

NickIni5679d ago

Yes, thePS3 could easily support GoW2, except it won't get the chance, because it's a 360 exclusive, and MS would never let go of something like this.

kimi_maro305679d ago

gears of war 2 is an awesome game it will not flop promise

Pain5679d ago

before Spending his time playing a better Game called Little Big Planet on a Superior Machine before his RROD's on him...but hey at-least he wont be bored waiting for repairs..

LMFAO great stuff right there. GREAT. Tranny Surprise LOL

ChrisGTR15679d ago (Edited 5679d ago )

the disk is a fake??

just look at the center of the disk, theres no xbox 360 circular shiny logo in the center.

TheSadTruth5679d ago

everyone does that when they take screenshots, on purpose

it's not even funny anymore...

Sarcasm5679d ago

"everyone does that when they take screenshots, on purpose "

True, but the problem is. There's still a likely chance that it's real and the dude just forgot to close it.

There are some pretty sick puppies in this world. Like Agent VX for example. Married and goes around trolling anything PS3 related.

Hellgiver5679d ago

I'm not going to lie. I had no idea what you guys were talking about for like 5 seconds. I was looking at the car in the ad, thinking you were talking about transmissions XD

SoulBrotha32925679d ago

i mean damn this game will do greater than gears 1 n mgs4 combined . mgs4 coulnt ebven outsell gears 1. Sony boys ur army is decreasing. i mean even japan is killin the ps3 in ur home territory. GEARS 2 will be a great game no lie. i mean in previews n interviews th story is better...emotional(made ppl cry)...BIGGER AND MORE BADASS. so go play LBP n make sackboy teabag the 360 4 ur own amusement. yes disagree cuz u no im rite n u feel it. but its okay cuz i feel better at night noing tht ex sony fans are tradin in their ps3 4 a 360 damn. LMAO i bet 30 disagrees b4 2morrow

redgaurd5679d ago

Im definately not trading my PS3 but Damn this game looks tight. I will prob get a 360 by the end of the month just for this. I know fanboys, there are more games on 360. But this is the only 1 im interested in right now thats all. Probably change later on. Still lovin the station though.

solidt125679d ago

LOL the guy likes Trannies. I bet he didn't even realize that was in the picture. You are so busted.

Altis15679d ago

Is a tester with a final build copy. Most likely at Microsoft to build more hype. Just think about it, seeing pictures of someone with a game one month before release makes you want it even more. Free and effective marketing.

FrankenLife5679d ago

Why would people do it on purpose? Why would they want to make it look like they go to that site?

SlyGuy5679d ago

the tranny site was a pop-up?

But then again...pop-ups open in new windows (not tabs) right?

Pr3-M3d_G4M3R5679d ago (Edited 5679d ago )

You'll get disagreees because you dont know the English language fluently! "U, R, UR, B" are not words. Did growing up in the ghetto prevent you from getting a proper education, dont they have hooked on phonics or something for you people? I can tell you live in the ghetto because you assume to get one thing you need to trade another. Maybe thats how it works in the "hood" but for people with money, we buy what we want, not trade. I have a ps3, not an xbox. I want GoW2 so I went out and bought an Xbox for $200, cheap as cake. And what sony homeland are you talking about? Sony is a corporation that is public and whoever invests money in its stocks is a public owner. Are you making the assumption that only Japanese people buy Sony stock? I live in USA and I'm not Japanese, so are you calling America Sony homeland, afterall according to your logic, PS3 owners are all in Japan and Japan is Sony homeland? Dumb****. There's a reason you only have an xbox: It's the cheapest system out there. Just because you cant afford to get a job and make money to buy what you want dont "hate" on those who do and can. Cant you trade your food stamps for a ps3?! You are as stupid as they come, stop making yourself a stereotype

tatotiburon5679d ago

no more losts than Konami with MGS4

Harry1905679d ago

understand the comparison here Tiburon.

Don't give back another stupid answer like saying that they are losing money because it's not multiplat or something like that, because the same can be said about Gears which is also a third party exclusive.

Bnet3435679d ago

lol Tiburon that comment was gold. It was gold because I didn't get it until dude below you explained ha ha. Really had me on that one.

Lanoire5679d ago

Gears of war 2 will be pirated like hell. 100 million and 2 years of hard work down the drain for Epic. Serves them right for sticking to the 360. Thats what happens when you do.

As for that MGS4 comment. You realize MGS4 already sold 3.5 million copies worldwide. By the end of this year its going to be 5 million. How is that considered a flop? Its more than Gears of war 1!

MGS4 will never come to the 360, so stop hating already.

TheMART5679d ago (Edited 5679d ago )

@ LaNoire

"Gears of war 2 will be pirated like hell. 100 million and 2 years of hard work down the drain for Epic."

Well... At the time that Gears 1 released, the 360 already was hacked since March of that year. But still even with all those modded 360's out there Gears 1 sold 5 mln. within a half year or so to what max. 10 mln. users at that time. It has sold over 6 mln. in total now. YOU FAIL

"As for that MGS4 comment. You realize MGS4 already sold 3.5 million copies worldwide. By the end of this year its going to be 5 million. How is that considered a flop? Its more than Gears of war 1!"

Wrong again. Thats less than Gears 1 and it sold it in a longer period with a larger installed base. The PS3 now sold what, 15 mln. units? Compare that to the 10 mln. when Gears 1 sold 5 mln. within no time. MGS4 surely is no flop, but seen the development costs they can never get the investment back thats made. Thus the comment was correct. YOU FAIL

"MGS4 will never come to the 360, so stop hating already."

well if it doesn't sell faster then it does now and more in total, Konami needs to get their investment costs back in another way. Konami has shareholders, they want profits over made investments of their money. If the project gets a loss or just breaks even but no money is earned, they get no intrest on their invested money.

Thus bringing over MGS4 to the 360 in the end is the only thing they can get profits and get their total investments back. It will be the most logical thing to do with 22 mln. 360's out there and the gameconsole that will sell the most this Christmas at the current crazy prices.

cherrypie5679d ago

Metal Gear Solid 4: 3.29m sold
Gears of War: 5.25m sold.

Lanoire5679d ago

MGS4 has not.

Owned much?
MGS4 has only been out what? 3-4 months? stop your whining, jealoys boy.

As for the Gears of war 1 comparison with Gears of war 2. Thats false.

Gears of war 1 did not get leaked and pirated but it looks like Gears of war 2 will go that road.

So whats your excuse now.

redgaurd5679d ago

I understand your logic @ konami's proffit margins and recouping costs. If you can provide links showing cost estimates and such (I can work the rest out for myself) I might just change my opinion. So far I don't think it's likely MGS4 will be ported, not cos of crap like "its not possible on 360", but because of Kojima. He is a perfectionist as we all may have heard, and it would be difficult for him to reproduce the same quality and feel of the story on multiple disks. I am of the opinion that Blu-ray does matter this gen, others are not. Thats cool. Anyway I don't think its likely. But hey, strange things are happening these days. Who knows?

Gears2 looks hot anyways!

TheMART5679d ago

@ Lanoire

Every game slows down selling after the initial months pretty much. Even MGS4 has slowed down a lot already and I bet it won't exceed Gears 1. For sure Gears 2 will cut the sales of MGS4 to pieces now with two times as much units out there at least compared when Gears 1 released.

Gears 1 to Gears 2 comparison is right dude... Gears 1 got pirated andd was out sooner then the disc was in shops... Plus: even if the disc is in someones possession: its not spread or leaked as pirated copy yet. Might not even happen untill release.

@ redgaurd

"I understand your logic @ konami's proffit margins and recouping costs. If you can provide links showing cost estimates and such (I can work the rest out for myself)"

Even better... Sony have said it themselves:

"Kitaue said Konami may need to expand the target hardware for its blockbuster fighting game Metal Gear Solid, which has so far been developed for Sony's PlayStation machines, to other consoles in the future to recoup development costs.

"Since Metal Gear Solid was born for the PlayStation, we would like to keep it a PlayStation game. But we might have to take some steps," Kitaue said."

Another one is:

"Metal Gear Solid 4 needs to be a million-seller on day one in order to recoup its heavy development costs, according to a new report."

So don't know if it did, but even if it sold 1 mln. units day one its still only break even, development costs recouped. Not even to gain big profits. Did it sold 1 mln. on day one? Anyone knows?

The exact development costs are not known. But seen the time MGS4 has been in production, the large number of people working on it being a project as big as Killzone 2 (which have 120 people working on that game for years) which is said to be costing 60 million Dollar.

Go figure...

"So far I don't think it's likely MGS4 will be ported, not cos of crap like "its not possible on 360", but because of Kojima."

Konami owns MGS4, not Kojima...

"He is a perfectionist as we all may have heard, and it would be difficult for him to reproduce the same quality and feel of the story on multiple disks."

Difficult doesn't mean impossible. Second, the 360 and PS3 can do about the same in visuals etc. the 360 is just easier to develop for. Multiple discs aren't a problem if needed because of the many cutscenes one has to watch. So the quality is nonsense, especially when the fall update is here with full installations of the games to the HDD on the 360. The only thing needed is a 120GB 360 HDD...

And yes agree. Gears 2 looks freaking hot!

Sitdown5679d ago

How did you reach the conclusion that Gears 1 is no longer selling? When a Gears of War two disc edition just got released on June 24, 2008?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site...

zethos565679d ago (Edited 5679d ago )

And how exactly will this game get pirated to hell? Do you really think there there are 1 million+ 360 pirates? The pirates won't even get access to online.

and @Lanoire you're comparing a 2 year old game that was released when the 360 was at a LOWER install base and a new game that's not even a year old for a larger install base. Gears 1 sales are pretty impressive because they sold to atleast half of the 360 owners that were out there. Has MGS4 done that?

I also like how you accused other people of being fanboys and told them to go to the open zone.

edit: I see you already post in the open zone and talk about this game and the 360 being a flop. You should stay there.

likedamaster5679d ago

OPEN ZONE PLEASE!

I disagree with Gears 1 not selling anymore, after 2 years, it's still selling just because of Gears 2. With Gears 2 inevitable success, those that didn't get to play Gears 1 will be getting it to check it out or get prepped before Gears 2 hits.

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

Read Full Story >>
culturedvultures.com
KicksnSnares678d ago

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies677d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638677d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72677d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337677d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever677d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad677d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds677d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

https://youtu.be/wy8LRlS1SC...

Neonridr811d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies810d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia811d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey602811d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian229811d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares811d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve811d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares811d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos811d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong811d ago (Edited 811d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard811d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:

1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
