Gears of War get' s 10 on 1up

Man this game game has the sickest visuals, I' ve ever seen. I can' t believe how smooth the framerate is with all the detail on screen, and there' s barely any loading at all. After this game splintercell seems really dissapointing. when i called my EB and they said it came in, i couldn' t even concentrate on my work anymore, so i told my boss that people were coming to look at my apartment and even though he was pretty pissed at me I took off to the store. I already got my ass spanked on live like 5 times, I suck at these types of game, but this game is extremely polished.

One question!

Some of the videos I' ve seen showed the action alternating from a first-person view mode to a third-person view. So do we have the option to toggle between the two perspectives? If it' s only first-person then I' ll avoid the game like the plague, but if there' s an option to switch to a third-person view mode then I might just check it out!

when you hit the left trigger, it zooms into a close over the shoulder view, it feels really nice, and you could pull the trigger and just pop out of cover to take shots and let go to go back under cover. I must say I' m really impressed by how intuitive the controlls are, you look badass moving from cover to cover.

It' s like the 360 version of GRAW. It' s fully 3rd person with an over the shoulder " close aim" like in RE4. There' s no 1st person mode so you' re all good.

Well then, Gears, HERE I COME!!!!!


I wonder what made me think the game was another " FPS" ?? I guess Reading really is fundamental

Always is! :) Also watching a ton of Gameplay videos seems to help.

Dammit i wanna play it, and i havent even completed splinter cell yet!

I completed SPlinter Cell on HARD... I got the ' Professional Ninja'
achievement.

Now I am gonna play it again, and make all the BAD decisions, i' m gonna be
a dirty double agent..

Which means that I am not gonna wash my hands, clean my arse, and piss with
the toilet seat down.

That' s how bad I plan on being..

On Gears of War: I have watched quite a lot of all the videos, I love the part with
the Berserker in it, that thing looks crazy as a motherf*cker, although I am
pretty sure it looked bigger in some of the prelim trailers.

The graphics are amazing, albeit very dank and dark.

It is a very grim game, but shows the best that Unreal Engine 3 has to offer period.

I now have high hopes for Lost Odyssey looking as good or possibly even better
than Gears of War.

Correct me if I am wrong, but did Splinter Cell DA use the Unreal Engine 2????

That' s what it said at the end credits...

So will the next Splinter Cell use Unreal Engine 3??? If so, then Splinter Cell 5 will
look so AMAZING!!

I saw the Xboxyde videos, but when I noticed there was spoliers in the video I couldn' t turn the video off... It was... It was so beautiful. I' m in love already.

2.5

I know Famitsu liked GRAW,

Only because you can shoot Koreans

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

So out of curiosity, how many of you have the game now, or will be getting it before the weekend. I' m hosting a LAN party on friday & we' re going to be playing Gears like there' s no tomorrow. Anybody up?

I got it today...awesome game, holding out on Co-op until my buddy can get his copy...but I' ve been playing Multiplayer up the ying yang. Awesome game.

guys we need more " omg this game roxxars!!!1111!!! but the hand textures are lacking and it isnt oblivion" comments.

This is the First 360 game, I want to get. And I will.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I have my copy, its as good as it looks. I don' t have to say much as I can' t find any flaws from the short time I spend with it.

Please discuss the game in my thread Thoughts about Gears of War :)

Well, I bought it, but I' m not playing it yet.

I' m holding off until I get some work done. Shouldn' t take more than an hour, so soon I' ll join a friend of mine and we' re gonna do some co-op over Live.

BTW:

Best Buy had a PS3 set up. It had two playable demos. It had NBA Live 07 and Motorstorm. NBA Live looked sweet, and handled very well. I' m not really into sports games too much, any more, but it was nice.

Motorstorm? [:' (][:' (]

The draw distances were impressive, and the far off landscapes looked great, but the up close stuff (your car, and anything within about 70 feet in game space) looked shitty. Well, I guess that' s kinda harsh, but the graphics were jaggalicious, and the textures were weak.

They also had a Wii setup, but it was only displaying some kind of demo movie with some chick talking about how great the system is. They showed a little video of Wario Ware, though, and that looks like fun!

Oh yeah, the PS3 is HUGE! It looked f*ckin' sweet, all black and chrome, but I was surprised at how large it was.

Hell yes!!! Gears pwns MotorStorm!!!

I think at this point Majik Gears of Wars pwns all Next Gen games.

Hahaha, so PS3 has demo' s of games that have been cancelled?!

NBA Live 2007 cancelled

WTF?! Have I missed something? I never heard that Gears of War was comming to PC!

You listen to the 20,year old staff members of webhallen who have no idea but just upload stuff from what they heard at gamereactr forum mebers?

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Nothing has been announced yet and if it does it' ll release well into next year at the earliest. Microsoft will handle it like the Halo series and it' ll probably release under the Games for Windows brand for Vista only, incorporating DX10 features some time late in 2007.

Its not annoucned for the PC! and Mark Rein, said hed rahter make a sequal than port it!

I guess I shouldn' t have trusted them. But still, IF this game DOES come to PC, then it wouldn' t 360 exclusive anymore and that makes me just a little bit angry, as it was one of those games that might' ve made me feel like the 360 was worth what I paid for it.

*sigh*

Well, I guess there' s still Alan Wake to come

If it wasn' t for Wii' s Zelda Twilight Princess I would' ve bought a 360 JUST FOR GEARS!

Dead Rising and Gears Of War is the only good games on 360, I think.

Edit: That is the 360 exclusive games.

I have to agree with that, but oh well, 07 is going to be amazing for the 360 (masseffect, alanwake, bioshock, BD/LO, Halo3/wars, etc) not to mention the Wii(Zelda 06, SSB, Metroid) and ok, well Im not even going into the PS3 games because I cant think of too many I want(not a big Jap game fan)

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Well, since I don' t play games on my PC, my 360 has been WELL worth the asking price. Especially considering I' m now getting an HD-DVD player for $199!

Well, maybe it was NBA 2k7. I wasn' t paying attention!
Whatever it was, it looked good, though.

Hell yes!!! Gears pwns MotorStorm!!!

actually, majik, i dont think this is saying much

That 1up review is truly awful, both in the writing sense and the fact that they do nothing but complain throughout the review and yet still give the game a ten, just awul.
