Video Games Weekly Gears of War 2 Preview - "Graphics have gone to nutso level."

They begin talking about the Game Informer Gears of War 2 cover story at about 19:30. They don't talk too much about it (for obvious reasons), but they sounded super excited about what they saw.

* Graphics have gone to nutso level. Color palette isn't as washed out as the first game. The games looks like a matte painting from a movie.
* A lot of the game will take place underground. A underground level they saw had all this bio-luminescent plant life that animated.
* More weather effects. Snow was mentioned. Gibs on the snow!
* The derricks have these mine capsules that hold 2 guys. You kind of paratroop into the ground. So, this derrick goes out and picks up what looks like bullets with grinders on the end, and then shoots you into the ground. That's how you get around in the world and go to these different missions. These derricks are 3 stories tall.
* Epic is doing a lot to make the story better.
* The team at Epic is very committed to making Gears 2 multiplayer fantastic. Some of the things they heard over some cocktails are very very exciting.

It is so dark,and good,very very good too.

chaosatom3335895d ago (Edited 5895d ago )

what's a nutso level?

I guess we will see this in E3 for sure, because Microsoft is riding on gears hard.

Amanosenpai5895d ago (Edited 5895d ago )

MGS4 graphs are in the "Nusto" level...

GeOW 2 will be great, GeOW has the best coop i ever played. TONS of fun with my friend killing Locust hordes.

PSh1t35895d ago

lol, no. MGS4 looks crap.

LaChance5895d ago

MGS 4 ? No seriously I dont if Im the only one but to me MGS4 looks good but even very good but not INCREDIBLE.I mean like it doesnt look way better than COD4 or Uncharted ( I know its not the same genre but still).

Only my opinion .

sonarus5895d ago

I really hate when people start unnecessary comparisons. All these games have their different art styles so lets try to keep the unnecessary comparisons to the minimum.

As for gears 2 can't wait to see it.

BeaArthur5895d ago

These are going to be much needed improvements.

Monchichi0255895d ago

I FREAKIN LOVED GEARS!!! (*Orgasm*) LOL

Can't wait for Gears 2. Bet it will once again be the Game of The Year!!

Amanosenpai5895d ago

Dunno... this time theres a lot of freaking competition out there...

sonarus5895d ago

Actually wasn't oblivion game of the yr?

PSh1t35895d ago

Really? Like what, Constipation 2? Krapzone 2? HAZE(LMFAO)? Yeah right. These games are NOTHIIINGGGG in the light of Gears. So, please. You look like a MAJOR Sony fanboy with that Asian child molester AV of yours. No wonder why you're so dumb. "derrr, derrrr Haze will be better than Gears, derrr"

IrishAssa5895d ago

More gloomy effects?
Unreal Plastic?

InMyOpinion5895d ago

Are you thinking of Killzone 2?

Atomic5895d ago (Edited 5895d ago )

Killzone 2 looks graphically beyond anything on the 360 , you have to be a blind Xbot to say otherwise
here's the proof

ElementX5895d ago

Killzone looks fake. Those videos sucked. Did you see how gunshots light up the whole f#$king area unrealistically? It's like someone shot a flare gun. The models look plastic also and unrealistically lit.

Atomic5895d ago (Edited 5895d ago )

Bill gates threw his white juice into your eyes and that's why you can't see properly?

and i find it funny that you think it looks plastic and the lighting unrealistic .
gears of war doesn't even have dynamic lighting and shadowing , everything is baked into the textures ,and the characters look straight out of a cartoon with their overblown proportions , so please cut the bull$hit .

ElementX5895d ago

I didn't mention anything about Gears or MS in my response. I'm stating my opinion. I'm not comparing KZ with anything

InMyOpinion5895d ago

Looks like Atomic hit menopause when he read my comment lol!

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.

Popsicle6d ago

I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.

shinoff21835d ago

Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
