I think you have the good news/bad news thing juxtaposed. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing an in-game CliffyB getting chainsawed.

That would be good news.

Gears 2 = Goodness.
Gears 2 gameplay footage = Awesomeness.

CliffyB = wtfholybbqbatman.

My Birthday!!!!

sorry, just threw that in there.

anyway, i hope it's not a short teaser or anything.

Let the hype train begin, god I love it!
Epic/MS did a great job hyping the original game, expect this one to get the Halo 3 treatment

Don't get me wrong it's going to be awesome to see the game being played, but I would rather play it myself. I'm just sayin

Awesome news. I'm in the same boat of people who think Gears 1 was a terrific shooter. Flawed? Yes. Innovative? Depends on who you talk to. Fun? HELL YEAH!

It was a tad short though. This was one of the games that made me get a 360.

Hey CliffyB might look like a surferboy. But at least he's really a gamer. Not one of those suit types that spew PR talk 24/7. Not that I mind them too much.

MS will hype and sell this game until third-world countries know it exists! Limited Premium Edition? For sure! GoW 2 Edition 360? You can bet on that...

I am still yet to play the first game, even though i have and love my 360 :)

let the "peanutbutter and jelly" comments begin (again) mr Bleszinski

btw i must be the only one that wasnt wowed by Gears....

But according to the guinness book of records gamers edition it was Gears that forces ms to up the memory on the 360, that can only be a good thing.

Gametrailers has been getting a lot of good stuff, I've watched nearly every episode and enjoyed the lot. Can't wait to get some actual footage of GOW2 (as well as Resistance 2 in a few months). Expecting the latest version of the Unreal Engine to show some pretty special (as in pretty looking) things.

@Cheddies: Only decent first years games were this and Oblivion if my memory is correct. GOW was great fun but very short, co-op mode got a lot of hours though eventually. Plus John Di Maggio = Win.

AWESOME!!!

Can't wait.

@el_rezzo: Don't forget Dead Rising. There are others, but I feel DR gets overlooked, especially for the tiny text complaint. It didn't bother me, and I had a SDTV and wore glasses when I played it the first time.

Uh...good for GameTrailers TV. I like Geoff and all, he's a good guy, but I just find it a little hard to believe that this trailer is going to be anything past more of the same. I guess that's what the fans want though, so give it to 'em.

But it's good to see GT TV isn't just being choked to death by internet media like most other gaming shows, or phasing off into mediocrity like X-Play.

I'm looking forward to it. I really want to see if Epic has expanded on the gameplay and created bigger battles, as has been claimed.

'Cliffy B' *shudder* coming through that wall with the chainsaw at E3 (or wherever it was) was one of the most cringeworthy, embarrassing things I've seen in a long time. He expected it to go down a treat, and instead was greeted with silence. What a burn.

Great news!
And Cliffy B is cool.
He's a self proclaimed media whore hype machine.
And he knows how to make great games.

Who cares about Marcus Fenix and Cliffy B (which one of them is real anyway??)
ITS ALL ABOUT THE COALTRAIN BITCHES!! AHH YEAH!

World premiere at 1am? Doesn't that seem a little odd?

Nevermind, I thought this said G4TV and not Gametrailers TV.

Gears 2 gameplay and Cliff Bleszinski? This is made of win!

@el_rezzo: Dead Rising, COD2, DOA4, Lost Planet, NFS:MW, FN Round 3, etc. Did you even play a 360 the first year?

Hopefully its a real time Chainsaw battle.

you can kinda see this footage already. All you have to do is put in Gears 1 in your xbox 360 and da dah!!

Is this 1am GMT time?

Can't wait, I wonder if they will give us a taster of the single player or maybe some mutiplayer...

Why do I have this feeling that GOW2 coming out in November 2008 is a bad idea? I mean, if it came out next year, it'd probably earn a lot sales. But with GTAIV being 2008's big game, it's almost as if GOW2's November launch is trying to counter that.

Something tells me that this trailer will have a reticle, and you'll hit A to duck behind things, also, you can raise your gun over your head and fire without looking. All this brand new gameplay in a sea of gray and brown environments. The draw to Gears was that it was the prettiest game on the system by.... a lot. Did it play alright? Sure, for like the 2 hours that it actually lasted, multiplayer being broke as all hell.

@mbeck: Damn, beat me to it...

Can't wait!

Lets hope it's better than the premiere of the Resistance 2 trailer.

Just saying.

I have high hopes for this game, but I wanna know a if a few things about the multiplayer in the original were changed. I'm doubtful I'll know from a short gameplay trailer that probably shows only campaign footage. I'll have to wait to find out if they un-nerfed the bullets from the default chainsaw gun. It was pretty sad to see how Gears iconic weapon was so useless (except for chainsaw kills) that people used the shotgun or pistol as if it was the default gun in MP. Also, I'd like some MP other than 4 on 4 no-respawn. (This was the main one, I can remember the others.) In those small team matches, muting people feels a little rude from a strategy point, but I always end up doing it cuz, well it's XBL. And even though lag is just part of video games, I don't think "host advantage" became a staple of my video game vocabulary until Gears. Until then I didn't realize that some "choppiness" in game animation due to latency could be programmed out unless it became horrendous. (Yes, that was dumb.)

Looking forward to it. But, I gotta admit, Cliffy B. seems to think he's a little bit cooler than he is.

Fortunately for the gaming community, you can come out in front of an audience wielding a chainsaw gun and receive applause, where in with a less-open audience, you'd get your arse handed back to you or get laughed at.

@Eothein: The Resistance trailer was actually a 'teaser' and non gameplay footage. You can expect the same experience on June 13th when GameTrailers shows gameplay for Resistance 2.

I must admit that I'm digging the fact that we are getting first looks at games OUTSIDE of game shows. Sure, E3 as an event was fun for us online, but it was also overwhelming. I'd prefer to see debuts like this scattered throughout the year with maybe a full blown exposé at the game and trade shows.

Way too soon. Gonna be shit. Period.

@duckmouth:
Yeah, that was kind of a douchebag moment for Cliff. :| Oh well, at least he tries really hard.

GT TV now comes on at 12am.

Man i'm so excited,i can't wait to see game footage that is likely going to look exactly the same as the previous game...WOOP WOOP

@Sigma-D: I don't think this game is trying to counter gta with its November release, the holiday season is when triple a titles always come out. Gta was supposed to come out last year but didn't because it wasn't ready, not because of halo3 or other blockbuster titles. Either way I seriously can't wait Gor this game!!!!!

I bet you any amount of money that the "gameplay" footage is going to be like the entire opening menu and a bunch of walking around.

It will be cool to finally be able to see the game but GOW2 is gonna have a lot of competition this Fall. Personally I'm looking forward to Fallout 3 more than GOW2.

@Crafty79: I just feel its awkward seeing how big of a franchise like GEARS and how it had this long anticipation and hype until its release. Now, it's like 'GTAIV will be released...Oh, btw Gears of War 2 is coming in November'

Now I'm not really a huge Gears fan and I doubt I'll even pick up the sequel (due to the extremities people would go through just to cheat and win...Oh and the kids I had to deal with in the first one online). But it is a strong title worthy of its praise, but I just feel GTAIV took 2008 hands down.
