This game looks amazing. Can't wait to play this. Too bad It doesn't come out until 2006.
 
I am SO with you on this one....what's not to like?

One thing that I think will be kinda bad is the whole "stay close to the light" thing. The environments look awesome, and huge, but if you need to stay near light the game will seem kinda linear.
 
It doesn't have to be linear. Look at Splinter Cell CT. In that game you have to stay in the dark, but there is still many different ways to complete your misions, but I can see why you're worried. I mean if you can't really explore those enviroments its will suck.
 
Yeah, I'm not saying it is a bad thing, but, without having played it we don't know how this will be implemented. But, in Chaos Theory you could go into the light, but doing so is nearly suicidal. I hope it is a similar situation here. You can go into the dark, but doing so is near suicide.

Here is a good article about the game (with links to some videos of it as well)

Beyond the nuts-and-bolts shooting action of the five-minute demo, Epic isn't talking much in the way of specifics about Gears of War's design. But Bleszinski did speak a little about the way the game will flow--you'll essentially follow a series of "branching linear" missions that will occasionally give you a choice about which way you want to proceed.

I love the style of action they've chosen to use, the "stop and pop" as they say. The rolling, dodging, and ability to take cover remind me of Winback, but obviously its two generations better. I also loved the fact that you can shoot by just sticking your gun out over and beside whatever you're hiding behind. Looks very gritty and realistic, and like a whole lot of fun.

I don't really like that fact that it seems you can't run in the game. It would be nice if you could pack your gun on your back and sprint from one light source to the next or something. Right now it kinda looks like the guys waddle around.

*slaps Ares*

Check it out now! It is to the 360 as Halo 1 was to the Xbox. It looks amazing.
 
Re: Gears of War - out earlier than expected?

I know that its for Xbox 360. I know that its supposed to be the next big thing. I just dont know much more about it.

Chainsaws!


The plot doesn't look that great, but it doesn't look bad either. Something like, humans were all at war with each other, Locust Horde (the bad guys) start coming out of the ground, humans unite but are pushed back to a single city. You are released from prison and have to help stop the Locusts. Also, the Locusts are highly sensitive to light IIRC.
