Gears of War 2 Trailer: Head Stomping Sound

I think it's kind of funny that they got the guy who did the 'Terry Tate: Office Linebacker' Reebok ads.

Now here's hoping the hype machine for this game doesn't result in a gear-grinding halt if Epic pulls what Bungie did with Halo 2/3.

Although I kinda liked the actual *game* that was hidden in the first, the atrocious bosses (Bezerker and Raam) made me hate the game more than pulling nails through my balls. Also they used never ending spawns in a few locations.
So this time I'll vote with my money and will not but it. They have no excuse of putting crap like that into a game.

Looking forward to the new one, the original was great, probably not so much if you played it a year after it came out, but when it came out, fuck yes.

I am a PS3 owner and I think this game looks better than anything I have seen on the PS3 so far (graphically). Now, while avoiding a fanboy war, discuss.

I'm sort of split on the gatling gun story. I like they way they came up for the sound for it, but at the same time, it seems detached from reality. The finished product sounded a bit too jackhammer-esque, almost like they took the UT2K3 impact hammer sound and played it repeating at 10 times per second. Did they ever get a chance to meet with a defense contractor or other weapons collector and record some real-world weapon sounds for reference?

I'd also be interested in the opinions of Shackers who do regular target shooting. From my very scant real-world experience, real-life gunshot sounds are mostly a loud short "pop" sound, but it is affected by the caliber, acoustics of the room (if it is in a room), and a few other things. But for the most part, it's a loud "pop" that hits the entire audio spectrum at close range.

Epic..... STOP jerking off to basic ideas.

This stuff reeks of pop up video. Unimportant information. Epic just make the game good. WE.. WE the gamers will then give the praise needed.

I liked gears, damn good game. (even though the final boss HP was somewhere in the range of senseless and absurd. Epic...Just because he takes more punishment, does not make him awesome or more bada$$)

Shack, this is not an exclusive. This is marketing. This almost needs to be marked as an advertisement.

I find it hilarious hearing Epic talk about how sounds sell the weapons, when it was the sounds from the UT games which made them pale in comparison to the Quake games (to me, anyway).

Being a clip about audio...it sure has a low volume to it.

Guitar Hero 4 comes out Oct 29th, this comes out November 7th. Anyone else think they may have the two too close together? I'm only getting one and it won't be Gears.

"You know gears is a dark experience, but it's also got a lot of heart." LULZ

Is it me or is Cliffy looking more and more like Max the Dog from the MDK series as he ages?

Bill Lumbergh in Office Space or David Brent in The Office, none of them come close to Cliff Bleszinski when I try to imagine the most annoying superior possible.

They are lucky their game is so much fun, thats the only reason I could stomach 4 minutes of that repetitious drivel. =P

This is the main reason I'm bothering to repair my xbox (again).


So annoycited.

THis is one of my most anticipated games of the year.

I was laughing when they kept on mentioning "meaty" and "crunchy."

"We loved his work in two forgettable movies that never before received praise for their soundtracks."
