Just announced at Microsoft's GDC press conference.

Aw yeah.

We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.

They were kind of forced to after the leak from the Italian MS representatives earlier today.

The game didn't really interest me but good news to fans.

I would think the first rule of PR is to ignore forum people, because they vacillate between crazy and liar. - Elysium

Here's the Teaser Trailer of mystic, I mean, Marcus chainsawing a locus. Pretty weak.

.. will be longer, more weapons, female warriors, another race or species.

After many, many Friday nights of being mercilessly chainsawed, tagged or sniped by our fellow GWJ ultimate badasses I think I'm going to miss the first game once the second takes over. It's a shame we can't port Canals, Fuel Depot and Mansion to the new engine.

They might...but they'll probably charge 400 MS points for it!

I'd pay it for Canals.

Two comments...

Slytin: NICE!

Danjo: I'd pay not to have to play Canals with you... (Oh, and I'd definitely pay not to have to play the version without the C.)

I think what they are saying is that playing Canals with you is comparable to having unwanted anal sex, Danjo.

I couldn't find a smiley that combined the right amounts of disgust and shame.

While we're wishing for things, I'd like an alternative control scheme that didn't have multiple contextual movements mapped to a single button while having nothing mapped to another. Ambiguity is for suckers.

Getting back on topic slightly, given what Cliffy said recently, will we see Gears of War 2 on the PC ever?

All I remember from the last time I played GoW online was the constant bitching of host advantage. I wonder if that will be addressed so the bitchin will cease, and I can go into rooms anonymously again.

Supposedly, it's 360 exclusive... time will tell.

BTW, the teaser trailer is up on Live already with a free dashboard theme and gamerpics. I'm downloading it all right now but the connection is seriously bogged down.

chainsaws dont work that way!

"I am heavy weapons guy, this is my weapon. She weighs 150 kilograms and fires $200 custom tooled cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute. It costs 400,000 dollars to fire this weapon for 12 seconds..."

Not like you're missing a lot. No in-game footage at all.

This is exactly what I said:

"YES!! YES!! Dueling chainsaws!"
*Marcus flips chainsaw and stabs locust*
"OMG! *gasps* HAHAHAHA!"
*logo shows up with one drip*
"You know, it would've been cool if they had added an extra line to make it look like a two."
*second drip shows up*
"Oh! There it is!! Ha! I am awesome."

IGN has a video of the new tech in Unreal Engine 3. It's the second video on the page. Looks awesome.

New lighting model, crowd dynamics, water dynamics, destructible environments.

Plus there is a scene of Gumbie going crazy with the torque bow.

We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.
