Gears of War - New Screenshots! (56K Warning)

[Przemek]

TPP? Thanks, but no thanks Might be a good benchmark when (if) it comes out on PC.

 

[Razor]

Will the pc version be an fps? please i hope so.

 

[Warbie]

I hope not. You can't just take a game designed to be played in 3rd person and switch perspectives - it'd be awful.

That would be like driving a car with your hands. Completely wrong way to do so because of the design.

Um?

 

[Core407]

The combat is like Kill.Switch.

 

[Anthraxxx]

This game makes me want some sechs. Bloody, gory, brain splattered sechs...

 

[Icarusintel]

The combat is like Kill.Switch.

I was gonna mention that earlier, but I had class. Looks like Kill.switch with better graphics, mutants, and that's about it. I'm certainly not rushing to get this one until I hear reviews for it, and even then, I'[ll wait til it comes out for PC.

I bet this is the game that makes you buy a 360.

 

[Icarusintel]

I bet this is the game that makes you buy a 360.

I bet it isn't, since I've already got a PS3 lined up for less than retail price. Besides, I've yet to see any other games that would make me buy an X360, except Bioshock, but that's coming to PC.

Still though, I've yet to see anything that truly impresses me about this game. The graphics are what I would expect from a next-gen (shouldn't it be current-gen by now?) title. The gameplay that I've seen so far hasn't thrilled me. Overall it looks somewhat average to me. And I'm guessing it'll eventually come to PC and look even prettier in my DX10 system.

I was thinking of buying an xbox 360 for this game, but all this broken 360's and "6 months life spam" stories kind of scared me off.
So any 360 owner that has had the console for more than 6 months without problems, please post here and tell me that if I buy one everything is gonna be alright...

P.D: I said more than 6 months! so if you have a 3 months old console that is working fine don't say anything...

You should also avoid Macbooks, Ipods, DS Lites, any laptop with a Sony battery, G5s and any other piece of hardware which has had it's problems blown out of proportions by morons on the interweb.

 

[Cole]

any laptop with a Sony battery

Well that is actually something you should avoid. I believe some airports wont let you take them on planes.

I've had one since launch day and I haven't had any problems. I bought one for my brother too and he hasn't experienced any problems with his either.

Bought a 360 at launch, nearly a year ago now.

Haven't had a problem with it yet.

*knocks on wood*

 

[Warbie]

Every console has such stories - the PS2 was probably worse in this respect.

For every person you hear complaing of a fault (the internet, home of the vocal minority) there are 1000's who are happily gaming away.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Bought my 360 a couple of months ago. The first one actually ****ed up and was putting scratches in my discs, but I replaced it quick and haven't had any problems since. Like I care though, I got the extended warranty just to be sure

 

[Razor]

I hope not. You can't just take a game designed to be played in 3rd person and switch perspectives - it'd be awful.

Well, redesign the game to be played in first person mode then, first person shooters are far better than third person shooters, fact.

 

[Warbie]

No, they're different. Fact.

Take Resident Evil 4, one of the best games i've played, put it into first person and it'd be completely different (and almost certainly crap). Or GRAW, a very decent third person shooter on the 360 that shits all over its first person counterpart on the pc. What about Max Payne? The list goes on and on.

I think what you're trying to say is, 'I prefer fps'

 

[Asknoone]

Take Resident Evil 4, one of the best games i've played.

I won't get into this argument.

Mine seems to be doing the same - Oblivion is no longer playable. Now if I could just find that darned receipt.

 

[Warbie]

Good, cause you'd lose

This all I wanted to hear...

I hope that those 2 big circles on his armour are speakers.

You can't use GRAW as an example as the PC version was completely shit due to reasons that had nothing to do with the viewpoint. Face it, first person is better. :dozey: :smoking:

 

[Warbie]

Well, you can play GRAW on the 360 in first person if you like - it isn't very good that way though. The other examples still stand. Add MGS and Mercenaries to make up for it.

And no, you're still wrong

If all games were fps this would be a very boring hobby.

And if Halflife2 was Third Person, it'd be shit. They're making Fight Night Round 3 on the PS3 first person and i'm going to the ps3 conferance tomorrow so hopefully that's one of them being shown.

 

[weskerQ8]

wow the graphix is super amazing

 

[Warbie]

Sure. That doesn't mean Gears of War would be any better in first person now does it. If anything you're just agreeing with me.

Enough of this silly debate

 

[Asknoone]

Good, cause you'd lose

Tripe.

 

[dream431ca]

The only compaint I have about those screenshots, is my HDTV will never beable to get out detail like that...thats some awesome screens.

 

[Sebastian]

Sweet Jesus I'm glad I bought a 360. Only two more months and this baby will be mine.
