Cliff Bleszinski Teases New Gears of War 2 Promotion Coming to Xbox Live

Cliff Bleszinski was on X-Play tonight, and in addition to talking about the latest 'Gears of War 2' title update and the status of the 'Gears of War' Movie, he teases an announcement about a new promotion involving Gears of War 2 and a horror franchise that is being rebooted.

Should be interesting. Is a Hockey mask DLC coming?

pumpkinpunker5592d ago

it's a little more substantial than that. however having the option to wear a hockey mask would be pretty bad-ass. My fallout 3 character never leaves his penthouse without it.

ThanatosDMC5592d ago (Edited 5592d ago )

If we can make a list of the things we want in a DLC for Gears, what would it be???

My number one request would be able to use a shield and a flail weapon... seriously, why go chainsaw when you can bash enemy limbs and their skulls. I mean, we're able to use the shield how come we can use the flail the grenades are flail-like weapons... the animation is there.

Oh well, i could only hope.

On a side note, when Gears first came out from Game Informer magazine, i really thought the game would be like a survival horror game. Especially with all the darkness and light effects they used, and making the enemies sound like some messed up monsters that eat human flesh and stuff.

LostChild5592d ago

I would like to see this guy as a DLC but I know it will never happen.

http://agent19xs.deviantart... see this skin as a DLC

Hockey Mask ? What happen to the "scarecrow" bag he (she) wore in the 1st film ?

I'm intrigued.

*only because the new Friday the 13th looks badass.

Omega65592d ago

Looks like Cliffy B is trying not be such a douchy douche anymore.
He's come a long way since Cliffyphoria :)

Serjikal_Strike5592d ago

like cliffy is always on x-play...I think adam has a crush on cliffy b!

DNAgent5592d ago

If adam was 15 years old or under then cliffy b would have a crush on him too.

Obama5592d ago

But Adman is too old for him.

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?

KicksnSnares694d 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)

ChasterMies693d 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.

Zombieburger638693d ago

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

darthv72693d 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.

Jericho1337693d 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.

Om4ever693d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad693d 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.

LoveSpuds693d 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 🔥🔥🔥

Neonridr827d 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.

ChasterMies826d 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.

Knightofelemia827d 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.

monkey602827d 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.

lucian229827d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares827d 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

RetroCaptainSteve827d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares827d 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.

Profchaos827d 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

Viljong827d ago (Edited 827d ago )

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

myfathersbastard827d 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

Atom6661169d ago

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1169d ago (Edited 1169d ago )

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.
