Lots of new Gears 2 footage

So the media blitz begins. GameTrailers just put up quite a few new Gears of War 2 videos, kicking off the massive amount of video that's going to hit the tubes during E3. The above video is about 5 minutes of multiplayer gameplay complete with curb stomping and meat shields. The rest of the videos (posted after the break) consist of a single old-map new-map comparison (Gridlock) and map fly-throughs for River, Security, Gridlock, and Day One. Oh, and be wary, this'll use up some serious bandwith.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Cool video. Looks like they added bullet entrails to the shotty.

Holy s*** that lancer shoots fast. Between that, the bullet slow-down, and proximity frags the gameplay/pace of this game is going to be 200% different than Gears 1 was.

haven't they already show footage of security where if you break the lasers you get shot at i'm guessing it's one of them just there to pose a threat to everyone

So do all of the weapons have tracer rounds now?

Half the fun in the game was getting shot and being forced to rotate and figure out who was shooting you.

Now, look for smoke trails...

Has anyone else noticed that there is definitely a Torque Bow where the Sniper Rifle used to be on Gridlock?

well they said in the new game power weapons cycle, so there may be a torque bow there, or a sniper or a boomshot.

Also, could be a player match. In GOW1 you could change the weapons too in player match.

Also, did you notice that it's on the other side of the platform now? It's no longer hidden in that small alcove, it's more open and vulnerable

Note the new weapon at the beginning of the Security fly-through...

Looks like some sort of gattling gun.

Brendan said...

Yeah, that would one sick tanking weapon man.

RotNRollHunter said...

that was the flame thrower I'm pretty sure. saw that area in one of the older vids

Rick said...

The Scorcher is more narrow and long with the fuel tank on the right front. This gun looks boxy and has a large barrel, like a gattling gun. This must be a new gun they'll talk about tomorrow.

Doesn't look like the Scorcher, looks more like a minigun to me.

Adrian said...

is it just me or was the blood like an orange looking color. i thought it was just the locusts blood at first but then the cogs blood was that way too, iono though, might just be my computer.

So has the "Flying through the level" Camera been confirmed for use by players during multiplayer? Cause that'd be totally sweet.

7-14-2008 @ 2:08AM

Rick said...

Confirmed a while back, actually. There's the fly-through by security cams and also a free-roaming ghost cam for dead players. Plus the ability to take snapshots w/ content scoring. No videos, though.

The map they show for the majority of the video looks like it will play a lot like raven down with a second story.

7-14-2008 @ 2:14AM

Rick said...

Yeah, same basic X pattern, but it looks a lot larger in scope than Raven Down. Just wish we could see someone destroy some of those arcade games.

Gameplay looks to have been massively changed, seen how fast there dropping with nothing but a pistol?

How many times was a shotty used in the first video? Only time i spotted it being used was against a bot.

I'm fine with these changes as long as they don't ruin the game, I hope Epic can pull this off and make Gears 2 the same hit online gears 1 was, don't let me down Epic. ;O
