Even though it looks great and the improvements in Unreal Engine 3 is clearly visible I seriously have a quite bad gut feeling about this. I dunno, for me it seems like the soul of Gears of War kind of disappeared on the way. What I've seen from Gears of War 3 doesn't remind me of the overall feel, atmosphere (sometimes outright creepy) and environmental design the original had - at all. For me something's arent just right, you know. I'm not sure I like the direction Epic has taken for the series... Gears 2 was a little bit "too much" at times, I thought, but atleast it looked and felt like Gears more than this..
awesome game, nothing about this is bad. it is gonna be the greatest game in history for me. i would pay £40 just for the beta content lol but add a campaign mode, co-op, horde, beats mode, arcade mode and competitive MP with amazing graphics and this is the greatest package ever
looks nice visually (obvious bullshots are obvious) but the game looks incredibly flat. there is no specularity on anything, metal and skin is just as flat and "dry" looking as the barron ground and walls. so weird. lighting is way better tho.

Nothing of what you say is important though, the gunplay of this is better than 99% Third Person Shoters out there, and the killing feedback is 100% better than anything yes even better than Vanquish.

Game looks fracking amazing for sure, and in motion even more so, they have outdone themselves oh and the game will be awesome :)
The best game of it's type. Just played some Gears2 again with a mate- deleted chapter. It's how everything feels when in combat that makes you realise how amazing this game is, and i still think Gears2's graphics are unmatched- bar any tech blah blah
Yes quite possible goty, certainly for many it will be
Hmm but they're big like. I imagine Gears feels very slow to some but that's just how it feels. Love or hate thing i guess. Certainly when i finally settled into it-and it did take a while for me too- i couldn't praise it enough. No other game comes close in this genre if looking at purely the combat

Sorry, he meant PS3 exclusive and some multiplatform games which will be on PS3.

No you didn't. You praised the visuals but dampened that by saying they were bullshots, then said how flat the game looked, before ending it with a compliment so that people can't fully accuse you of being a troll. It's not exactly subtle.

Wouldnt be much of a multiplatform if it was just on the 360 now would it...lmao
Err, all the games you just mentioned are multiplatform. But your praise for this has been real high, so I guess we all know you don't have an agenda. ;)

Could it be beacause i didnt like past gears of war games? Nah, couldnt POSSIBLY be something as logical as that. Nope, no way.
As for my comments regarding the flat shaders, am i wrong? No, i'm sorry you cannot handle the truth regarding a video game you had no part in making. The game looks nice. I said so from the outset, it's fast, smooth, great textures, better lighting, just very flat shaders. I wouldnt expect you to understand, you're the one who defended fallout when i said that was flat too. A game know for having zero dynamic shadows or ambient occlusion....lol.

Seriously, the movement is pure garbage in this game, theya re barely moving at all, chore to play IMO.
