OMG... new lancer... new pistol... new chainsaw battle thing... You can grab locusts and break their necks n ****... WOW.... :eusa_clap

[Neil]

I'm not really impressed, it just seems like GoW1 with new guns, the explosions are pretty weak, the graphics are still as bad as in the first game, the chainsaw duel sounded way more exciting than it actually was, it's gonna be like RSV2, they change hardly anything, they add new guns, change the story and make the multiplayer better, pretty disapointing on Epic Games part to be honest, I'll be renting it as I quite like the story but it's not exactly something I'm looking forward too, especially now xD

[Camy]

Hmm, I think it looks great, its soo much bigger than the first game, it actually looks like a battlefield instead of just a group of 4 taking on lots of locust.
I don't think we'll be able to see how much better the graphics are until we actually get the game. From the first video they released, showing the new game engine, it looks pretty damn good.
Im not sure I like the new gun designs yet, the machine pistol type thing looks pretty kl, and using the locust as a shield looks pretty kl tho.

Can't wait, I wonder what the multiplayer will be like.

It's a fully scripted battle, it's not like the battles against the scarabs in halo 3, it's going to be the same thing basically everytime, the massive battle field is going to be a background for the fighting you do on them truck things, everything else in the game is said to be done underground

Why change something that works and that most people love?

Because the idea of a sequal is to add to the story, but in gaming you have to improve the game aswell, the game hardly seems improved in the video and as we all saw with RSV2 just adding a few new things, making multiplayer not suck and changing the story doesn't do a game any good

RSV2 was very poor and worse than the first one imo. But i guess that they didn't want to do a Need For Speed and ruin their game.

i agree.

it looks pretty much just like GoW 1 but new weapons and stuff. maybe live will be better :eusa_whis

The multiplayer on GoW was the only thing that ruined it really, the single player or co-op was good but everything else was rubbish
