Gears of War Gameplay videos!

Finally: http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/747/747891/vids_1.html

Looks frickin good. The placing of the 3rd person camera seems different from other games so far, more random in a way.

It may just be me, but I wasn't that impressed with the footage. The framerate looked a little weak, as did some of the animations like the rolls and the deaths. I know the hardware isn't finalized, but I would say there's a bunch of optimizing left to do in the next few months. A direct feed video might make it look a whole lot better, though, so I might be wrong. I guess we'll see....

in the latest (improved) demos they've only been using 1 core.

and i would watch this, if i wasn't capped :x

I'm personally really looking forward to this game.

The first video, that's the voice of Spike off Cowboy Bebop!

First thing I noticed

Spike-ooh!

Honestly this looks quite lame to me now. The very first preview video made it look quite interesting, but the only thing interesting about this game looks like firing the assault rifle.

It looks like a linear piece of lameness.

reminded me a bit of what the ps2/xbox/pc game killswitch would look like with the ue3 engine, looked hella choppy...not blown away...

 

[Shakermaker]

not blown away...

Me neither. Looks like a generic shooter with nice graphics but a lousy framerate.

The frame rate was rather poor. The fact that they've only got it running on one core to me suggests that running it with multiple cores either renders worse performance or stability issues. They've got a lot of work to do on this game before it's released in (late I reckon) 2006.

If I do buy an XBox 360 It's not going to be until well into 2006 when hopefully I can pick one up for cheaper and some decent games are out.

1. I think that's a bit superficial of you to judge that without having played the game
2. Linearity isn't necessarily bad. Just look at half-life 2.
