Default [GS] GoW2 Multiplayer Hands On


Quote:
You'd be hard pressed to a find a more anticipated fall title among the Xbox 360 masses than Gears of War 2. The game has been top of mind since its GDC debut earlier this year. North Carolina-based Epic Games has been cranking on the sequel to its juggernaut Xbox 360 and PC title since the announcement and recently gave us an update on the upcoming game. While a brief overview on the sequel from Epic's Cliff Bleszinski was nice, the real meat of the experience was the chance to try out a bit of the competitive multiplayer modes.

Jebus Crikes, someone file down those jaggies in that screenshot.

I'm guessing those screenshots are either not the graphics that we will see in-game or they are just not final release graphics... they look pretty unimpressive while I thought the original GoW was VERY impressive.

But I'm definitely waiting for this game. The only 360 exclusive I care for

Those are the ingame graphics we'll see in the final release. They are the same as GoW1.

GoW was soooo much fun to play, it just sucked the game was so short. I hope GoW2 lasts at least twice as long and I'll be satisfied.
