Why Gears of War 2 will not be anounced at GDC 08

18
Splitscreen writes-"Facts seem to have been deleted from the industry with almost all major publishers and developers keeping their prized creations under wraps and gamers are left wondering what really is happening, since most exclusive information is kept with hostile security and sold to the highest bidder.

And the latest one is that Gears of War 2 is under works - or rather is possibly under works - and will be announced and showcased in a really big way at GDC-08. Which is great for all Lancer loving fans, but it won't exactly be happening that way. Here's why..."

actually he makes a lot of sense. Not saying gears isnt coming end of the yr but it might not be announced thats all. I want gears of war 2 info as much as the next guy but realistically speaking all we are going off of are rumors off surfer girl. In other words dnt get your hopes up ppl it might not happen. At most we'll probably see the gow2 version of unreal engine 3 with all the optimizations and improvements.

2 - And Why is there not RUMOR in front of that Title?
Somebodies else's opinion.

As a Game Developer's conference, why wouldn't EPIC showcase their Updated Engine, as well as take some slack off the bad press they have been getting from other developers..SK.etc

I heard that they are taking out all of the guns other than the shotgun (after all most regular gears players are not even aware that other guns exist) and the real reason it isn't being shown at gdc is because they have yet to trademark the name which is; Gears of War: the shotgun chronicles. Sorry i love gears but i just couldn’t help myself.

4.1 - if the
shotgun wasn't so versitile people wouldnt use it so much i think that it is the most realistic representation of a shotgun the bullets actually hit from far off like in RL so yea not only that its so easy to kill all those chainsaw people with a shotgun to the face

Games i 100% agree with you. It looks cool when you get the kill too. I was just poking fun. A few of you obviously took it real personal and hit me with the bubble down! Well all is fair in love and war.

6 - Momentum
MS needs to start making some HUGE killer announcements for this year otherwise the momentum will completely shift in favor of the competition. Both systems put up a huge fight in MS's "big year" of 07 and if they simply are going with what they have already announced which is downright pityful compared to Sony they are in for a world of hurt and I will be left wondering WTF are the people behind the scenes responsible for securing games doing!

PS: Great to see all the commericals in NA advertising DMC4 on the 360 platform and not PS3, smart move MS.

6.1 - The author had no clue...
And you are right...MS needs ot make big announcements. GDC while in the past was not really a "public" show and more devoted to developers, that has changed. GDC now is being covered heavily by the media and is a great platform to use as a launching stage for some big announcements. MS will be dropping some big names...and Gears 2 will in some way be part of that.

There must be a reason MS and Epic rented the 2 largest spaces right next to each other.

10 - This author is funy
He takes the time to write an article and post it on a webpage, to just tell everyone that GDC stands for Game Developers Conference.
