can i ask how i got a disagree? the Mad World trailer was for the original Gears of War. The Gears of War 2 trailer used a completely different song. This isnt something you can disagree with, its as true as saying that Gears of War is made by Epic.
1 thing they DEFINITELY need to do is 'un-nerf' the Sniper Rifle. i was a huge sniper fan in Gears 1s multiplayer, it really was deadly in the right hands. Gears 2? the worst weapon in the game. the ONLY way to kill someone with it was a headshot. you couldnt even 'down' someone with it because by the time youd reloaded their health had recovered to near full again.
'active-down' sniper needs to come back. if you get shot in the chest with a high calibre sniper rifle, you should ...
do you not even read the articles and posts you respond to?
Splinter Cell:Conviction has 2 campaigns. one of them is STRICTLY single player with Sam Fisher. the second you can play single player OR multiplayer as some other agents. together, even if they are both only 5 hours each, you get 10 hours of SINGLE PLAYER campaign. that is more than the average length of most games this generation.
and no, i didnt pull the numbers out of 'uranus' - i pulled them from my PS3...
Mad World was Gears of War 1.
youve obviously never played gears of war in your life - the lambent are not new lol.
EDIT: lol how do i get a disagree? if you have played Gears of War 1 or 2 you will know that the Lambent arent new BECAUSE THEYRE IN BOTH OF THOSE GAMES!!!! its like saying 'oh wow i saw a new gun in the gears 3 trailer, its got a chainsaw on it!!!' - its not new because its in both the other gears of war games already.
lol
MGS4 was a 'love it or hate it' game - there is no in-between. you either love watching countless hours of d-grade cutscenes with convoluted and self-important talk of NPCs and repeating the same things over and over, playing a generic third person shooter for 15 mins, then being 'treated' to more cutscenes, or you hate it.
i fit into the latter. i LOVED MGS, MGS2 (apart from the story) and MGS3 - MGS is up there on my list of best games of all time.....but MGS4 ...
it had something like 11.5 hours of cutscenes, maybe give or take 1-2. either way, there was more hours of cutscenes than hours of gameplay.
oh and pretty much every game these days has a counter of how long youve played the game for, generally on the save file. MGS4 has this, so i have to question if youve actually played it since you didnt know this? Uncharted 1 and 2 do, god of war 3 does, killzone 2 does as well. again, have YOU even played any of these games?
well i have played the game to completion, i own it, and MGS2 and 3 are 2 of my favourite games.
4 was just a total let-down and complete rubbish.
Gears 2 already has better graphics than Uncharted 2, so Gears 3 definitely will. Uncharted 2 looks far better in downsized videos on the net than it does on an actual tv in its native resolution. its jaggies galore and cartoony art styles. Gears is gritty, realistic, and has better anti-aliasing.
and yes, i own uncharted 2.
cue the 50+ angry PS3 fanboy disagrees.....
geez you ps3 fanboys are predictable. lets have a look at the time each of these PS3 exclusives took me to finish on my PS3:
Heavenly Sword - 4.5-5 hours
Uncharted - 6 hours
Killzone 2 - 6 hours 40 minutes
Uncharted 2 - 8 hours 50 minutes
Little Big Planet - didnt count to the exact hour, but it was only about 5-6 at the very very most.
Metal Gear Solid 4 - 18 hours, including the 11.5 hours of cutscenes = 6.5 hours gameplay.
God of War - 8 hou...
theyre competing with a 3 hour game + 11 hours of cutscenes with a 5 hour single player campaign and a 5 hour multiplayer campaign all wrapped up in one.
@badz149,
youre assuming that firstly the game is taking up the entire disk, and secondly that the majority of the disk is filled with level data. youd be incorrect on both.
i could knock you up an XBLA game in XNA that is 1mb in size but literally has thousands upon thousands of hours of gameplay. alternatively, i could knock you up an XBLA game in XNA that is 1gb in size but only features a single room that is rectangular with nothing in it, with a start point and ...
Redrum059,
the resolution of a game has NOTHING to do with how long the game is.
remember, the multiplayer component in Conviction isnt JUST typical multiplayer - there is a full blown 3-4 hour multiplayer campaign.
so add that 3-4 hours to the 5 hour single player campaign and what do you get? a game with more hours in its campaign than the current PS3 fanboys 'best game ever' game, God of War 3, which i finished first time on normal difficulty - finding all the treasures and taking my time to look around as well - in 8 hours 20 minutes.
i dont...
he ruined it when he made MGS4 a d-grade movie with terrible gameplay (what very little gameplay there actually was).
lol
thats not what theyre doing AT ALL. theyre simply saying 'no, we wont publish it because its on other platforms', and fair enough too. Microsoft Game Studios only publishes exclusive to Microsoft games. this is not exclusive to microsoft, and will probably be on the PS3 too, so why would they spend their time and money publishing it when some other publisher like Ubisoft or EA probably will?
so what do you say to all the 8 hour or LESS single player only games like Uncharted 1 and 2, God of War 3, etc etc?
they announced it on the dashboard of the 360, and its coming out in april 2011........if there was a new xbox coming out before then, we'd know about it. its on the 360.
what they actually stated, but what most people chose to disregard for one reason or another, was that IF gears of war 3 was using Unreal Engine 4 that it would be on the next generation of consoles (since thats what UE4 is being made for), but if it was using Unreal Engine 3 again it would be on the 360.
no it doesnt, it just needs a region filter from day 1.
i gave up playing Gears 2 online after maybe 6 months because i live in australia, and would just constantly get matched with Americans and have literally 2-3 seconds lag. then they brought in the region filter, and all was looking peachy...........until they announced that Australia will not get the region filter, as 'not enough people play it in Australia'! did they stop to think WHY noone was playing it in Australia!?!?! ...
that tentacle monster thing is new, but like i said - if you had played EITHER of the previous Gears of War games you would know what the Lambent are, since they were in both of them.
again, this isnt a debatable point or something you can disagree with - EVERYONE that plays either of the games to completion WILL come face to face with Lambent Locust. They even use the word Lambent in the game when talking about them.
