I really like the Gears of War franchise. It’s a shame many knock it for being a generic space marine shooter, because if you read the books it’s actually anything but dumb, with a detailed story full of complex characters.
Anyway, that’s enough of my moaning as a new cinematic trailer has been released showing the Gear’s battle with the Locust/Lambent over the years.

Really starting to get more interested in getting this now. The coop will be fun with my flat mate. I have a list of 6 games I will buy before Christmas. May have to cut Fifa 12 out, which was my last choice, for this. Hmm…

they’ve always put out great trailers for the gears games.
though they do seem to be trying to recreate the feel of that original trailer.
the thing is, what made the original trailer so good was that it was pretty unique at the time.
in trying to copy the style they’re losing the magic a little.
one thing though, some time has obviously passed in the gears universe, dom’s got that beard after all.
so why is marcus taking the time to trim that little goatee thing he’s got? o_O
i’ve got the aspho fields book, haven’t read it yet though.
oh yeah i’ve also got a cool special edition guide for the first game that comes with an art book full of concept sketches and and other production artwork.
some of the body part stuff is pretty gory, the post chainsawing models especially.

I cannot wait for this. I may be 25 years old but my clan are playing this for 48hrs!
Expect a full write up on all of our clan the multiplayer and singleplayer.

I love the Gears of War franchise, I have the epic edition on pre-order.
However it’s not fair to knock people for considering it a “generic space marine shooter”. You shuoldn’t have to read the books to appreciate the story of the game, that defeats the object of having a story in the game. Many games manage to pull of great gameplay and great story (MGS / Uncharted) without having to read associated books to appreciate it. And lets face it, the story in the gears game is pretty generic space marine shooter. Books =/= games and a gamer should not HAVE to read a book to fully appreciate the story in the game, in the same way a bookworm should not have to play a game to fully appreciate their book.

Good trailer, think they need to move away from the style of the mad world trailer, it was soo good and this really doesn’t compare. Bit of a shame i don’t have a 360 for this really :/ oh well.
