Continuing Epic's series of Gears of War 2 subject by subject analysis featurettes, we bring you the latest where Cliff and crew chat about Gears 2 as art and where their inspiration comes from.
You can watch the latest video (currently exclusive to Yahoo!) embedded after the break and take in Gears 2's gorgeous vistas, hear the inspiration behind the architecture, learn what the design focus was and get a sense for the new graphical enhancement the sequel has over the original. Most notably, at around 1:50 minute mark, you'll witness one the most visually stunning underground caves that your eyes have ever come across. Jiggly wiggly plants, jaw dropping water, fog ... oh yeah ... we're in love.

Okay. I have held off as long as possible. I am totally stoked for this game. Like, waiting for non-denominational winter holiday stoked. Like knowing you're going to get a handy from your date stoked.

Wow, I must say I'm equally as excited as just about every other fanboy here. The single player campaign is starting to look pretty damn amazing. Dare I say... the Gears of War series may be just as popular if not more than the Halo series someday.
A badass single player campaign with an already proven badass multiplayer game that just needed to be fixed spells GAME OF THE YEAR to me.

Wait,didn't Karmine get sniped in the head in the first gears of war?
At the end of the video Marcus says "let's go find Karmine" or something like that.

you're right. it's one of the mysteries : how did Carmine survive/was brought back to life.
Carmine did die in Gow1, but Epic decided to bring him back, as he was their favourite character (their and the fans' fav chara)

I've got a throbing meaty member going after that video. Only 23 more days and I'll be balls deep in this game. I'm even taking off work that Friday just to play it all day and get my geek on something fierce.
And to the nub who was wondering about Carmine (with a "c") they said that this is his brother ... and they haven't announced how many Carmine boys they are in the family. I'm thinking it's a kinda of "You killed Kenny!" deal where they kill a Carmine each game.

It's Carmine's son. Cliffy talked about it in an earlier video.

Doubtful. Carmine is assumed to be around 20-26 years old in GoW. The youngest Gears member. It can't be his son.
It has been said a few times that it's his older brother, but I guess we'll see.

Next-Gen Brown, what does that mean? kids these days with their fancy words and what-not....

next-gen brown: usually tagged for games of apocylyptic settings and a smear on the game's incapability to produce a wide color palette in favor of impressive scale, lighting, scripted events etc.

I've seen the mp videos and from what I can tell seems more of the same except better maps/gfx I don't see what all the fuss is about.
