First Look At Gears Of War 2 Game Footage

If you've been looking for Gears of War 2 game footage, you're in luck. G4TV was nice enough to share this new video with us, and I have to tell you, it looks glorious. For some of you who are familiar with the game, you'll now see dueling chainsaw battles, and you can even use the enemy as cover. And I have to tell ya, some of the action in this video looks better than Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, or any other shooter that I've seen.

Take a look.

Gears Of War 2 Info

Anyone looking for Gears of War 2 info has come to the right place. Thanks to the folks at Game Informer and G4TV, here is some of the cool stuff we can expect from the next installment due out in November:

New characters:

• Tai Kaliso, "a spiritual and meditative warrior from a tradition of honor-bound fighters."
• Chairman Prescott: "an almost dictatorial military leader who nonetheless has made the hard choices necessary to keep humanity alive through decades of warfare. As Gears 2 opens, this leader of the COG forces will deliver a speech to the troops before sending them reeling into the suicidal mission ahead."
• Dizzy: "Dives the massive Derrick on which Delta Squad ascends into the mountains. With a trademark drawl and an insistence on calling his truck "Betty", he's a colorful new addition to the cast.
• Maria Santiago: Dominic's wife. A major part of Gears 2's plot revolves around trying to rescue Maria.

New Features:

• New character lighting: More cinematic and less realistic.
• Use of cover has been changed. It will be harder to get hit while protected, as the character will rest a little further back from the corners.
• Chainsaw Duels: "Expand that gruesome combat mechanic to deliver even more excitement."
• Bigger Boss Battles: More fun and epic in scale. Cliffy B. says: "We have creatures that make the Brumak look like a baby panda bear."
• Drop-In and Out Co-op: Come and go as you please.
• Multiple save files
• Differing difficulty levels in Co-op: So player one can be Casual and player two Hardcore. When players split up, the difficulty levels will as well.
• Easier-than-Casual difficulty level: For the true-newb.
• COG Centaur tank. Takes the best parts of a monster truck and a military tank and mixes 'em up.
• Locust Kantus enemies: Featuring humming, sonic attacks.
• "Shut-Up" Button: During cut-scenes, you'll have the option of hitting this button to skip everything and get to the next level of shooting.
• Journal system: allows you to track findable stuff and progress toward achievements.

Thanks to G4TV for this info.

Gears of War 2 Available For Pre-Order

I have to tell you that I wasn't sure when the Xbox 360 came out that it was the system I wanted. I swore by the PS2, so logic would suggest that the PS3 would be that much better (obviously I was wrong). But what really made my decision of buying a 360 was Gears of War. That game was great to say the least, and to this day, I still play it.

Well get ready for the hype machine to start winding up again.

You can now pre-order Gears of War 2, which is due out on November 15th 2008. I know it's almost a year away, but I'm excited already!!!
