Weekend Confirmed 108 - Resident Evil 6, Lost Planet 3, Fez, Super T.I.M.E. Force
by Garnett Lee, Apr 13, 2012 11:00am PDTAndrea, the two Jeff's, and Garnett waste no time getting right to all the new info on Resident Evil 6, Lost Planet 3, and Devil May Cry coming out of Capcom's recent press event. They also have a few quick updates from a similar event held by Namco that unveiled a PC version of Dark Souls and provided an update on the status of a western release for Ni No Kuni. We also get a first look at FEZ and Andrea shares some of what she saw at PAX East, including the awesome-sounding indie, Super T.I.M.E. Force. There's much more along the way as well before putting the Finishing Moves on this episode.

I know it was only a lighthearted thread in the podcast but I wanted to just think about that for a second. I don't think a bow is out of place in Gears of War, considering the main gun has a combustion powered chainsaw attached to it. Gears has always had a fairly zany weapons set, there's cleavers, flails, the digger that launches a suicide-bomber-creature that digs under cover. Other shooters have energy shields but Gears has actual shields that you can pick up and block bullets with. A bow is a pretty ridiculous weapon to have in a FPS but it feels appropriate, thematically, in the Gears universe.
When you think about it, the Locust have always had really less advanced weapons, they seem to just use what the humans threw away. The Hammerburst is made from discarded human weapons, the Boomshot looks like it's cobbled together from junk, the Boltok looks like a vintage pistol from western movies. Humans use satellite strikes but the Locust use hand operated mortars, humans travel in vehicles but Locust still ride animals. The Locust are just primitive scavengers.

Are you saying that the dominance of military shooters has made other shooters weaken their arsenal?
I sure as hell didn't use an M16 in Halo Reach. :P
