GEARS OF WAR site is live

[Gorgon]

ust in time for E3, the official Gears of War website has gone live.

Unfortunately — with its black background, lame skulls, maroon headlines and dim gray font — it looks like it just crawled out of Archive.org’s Internet 1998 bunghole. Still, if you’re looking for official information on “the only game to blend a deep and disturbing story of human survival against an endless mass of nightmarish creatures, a next-generation tactical combat system, and unsurpassed visuals and special effects,” GearsofWar.com is the place to go.

"Dear Gearheads,"

This game sucks. Majorly. I can tell that just from that ^

 

[Pesmerga]

Websites with background noise is like God punching a pregnant woman in the stomache.

The only game, lol. Every game claims to have these.

What codec does the trailer use? I only get sound.

The Thief: DS site is the exception. I go there to relax and immerse myself in the Thief world sometimes at work when I need a respite. Awesome atmosphere!

That said, I just can't for some reason get excited for this title. Maybe it was the old trailers that were pretty but ran poorly or maybe its the relatively unimaginative premise. I dunno. Hopefully E3 will shed some brilliant new light on this one. Just reading that they revamped the animations is a huge step....

I'm not expecting goty (especially since Epic haven't produced a decent single player game for years), but think Gears shows plenty of promise. A gorgeous looking simple and frantic shoot 'em up with online co-op - what's not to like?

Did you notice the "soundn/off" toggle?

Did you notice the "soundn/off" toggle?

Did you notice I'm flying through cyberspace at subsonic speeds, passing through information highways with porn and japanese inventions and politics and smilies and ads and dinner recipes whizzing through my eyes into my brain? Yeah, I don't have time for ****in noise and ****in toggles.

It's not for the PC.

 

[Warbie]

It's not for the PC.

I thought it was coming out for the pc, just at a later date.

 

[cadaver]

looks very promising!

 

[Drackard]

Been keeping up with this game for sometime now, cannot wait for it definate buy :thumbs:

Its a shame that the Ion Storm got kicked in the ass before they came up with a patch to sort out that annoying key config crash bug

Hahaha! Word. ;(

I actually play the Thief 3 soundtrack when I visit the Dark Mod website. That "game" is going to rule (I hope).

I know the game will be good. It was a joke. But the very fact the developers call the fans Gearheads is IMO really, really choopid.

Perhaps some title escapes me, but I don't think Epic have really "done" Single Player since Unreal 1! That's 8 years ago :O

 

[Asuka]

WOW i want those posters!

Unreal 2? Wasn't that SP?

 

[Drackard]

Yeah it was if i remember correctly

 

[kupocake]

Unreal 2? Wasn't that SP?

Yes. But Legend Entertainment made it.

Edit: to bring myself inline with the topic, I'd have to say it's a good thing that Unreal 2 isn't an example of what happens when Epic attempt single player. A very good thing.

 

[Warbie]

Yes. But Legend Entertainment made it.[/u]

And it was bloody awful.

Unreal was the game I was thinking of, kupoartist. Epics only decent single player game.

 

[kupocake]

Yeah, and even Unreal 1 was a little wobbly in certain respects, IMO. Still, as Epic haven't done proper single player since Unreal 1, we have nothing to help us judge either way whether Gears of War will be good. I'm hoping that it will be, and that it'll be successful enough to warrant the PC version that CliffyB said they'd consider making.

 

[Asuka]

From when i played it i liked Unreal 2 a lot. Dunno. exp. the weapons.

 

[Warbie]

Some new screenshots:

Still looking good.

 

[Drackard]

I'm glad i've got plenty of games to keep me busy till it's released otherwise i'd be going a bit crazy with anticipation and excitement
