What ever happened to the Halo 3 comic?

Blasterpez · 20-04-2008, 08:52 PM

Maybe they can make the backstory downloadable content and charge everyone for it.

Boost King · 20-04-2008, 09:17 PM

Oh and speaking of DLC, Epic pretty much said as well in this interview that DLC will be things like maps etc. They wont charge us or do DLC for extra guns or weapons etc etc.

Thats nice to know.

Yep, but don't worry if you miss it, it'll be on the marketplace on Saturday sometime.

Well I just saw the video demo of the first level and I was impressed. The game looks very very playable already, and to be honest, looked finished. I was happy to see some new weapons, new kill tactics (neck snap), chainsaw attacks and duels, brumack battles and tons of action on screen.

I think November may require me to take some annual leave and devote my life to this game.

But, of course I'll reserve full judgement till I've played it myself. Cant wait!

I agree, it looks so sweet....Love the new "break neck" feature, cant wait for november!

Yeah, the new gameplay video does look pretty sweet. i love the much more wide open space. Seeing this makes me realize that original GOW was pretty claustrophobic.

XabiTorres · 10-05-2008, 04:23 PM

I cant wait to get breaking some necks. Great trailer. November cant come soon enough

I guess also we shouldn't call it a trailer cause its not a movie sequence or preview. Its actual gameplay video, so even more OMG OMG OMG is deserved.

I hope GOW2 delivers on all fronts, I really hope it does.

Either way, I'll support the game for sure.

Hey,

I just saw a video on gametrailers for GOW2, that was a interview with Cliffy B.

In it he made mention to the fact that Carmine is back, but he wont go into the specifics. He also mentioned you can pound the enemy on the ground, as a finishing move. So far he confirmed the neck snap, kurbstomp and ground pound, as well as a whole host of others to wait for that involve using weapons, ie the blades of the torque bow.

In terms of online play, he stated GOW2 will ship with more maps than were available in GOW1, which is great news. He also mentioned online play will be a 5 vs 5 style, as well as more different types of game modes as well.

CLiffy commented the story will be improved big time, as well as single player being much longer than the original.

Gee, it sounds like Epic are addressing the gripes with the first version, which is great to see. I am glad its going to be 5 vs 5, even better, although 12 or 16 players would be ace. But even if it were possible, most games released in AU wont even support that level of players, cause our internet blows.

Oh well.

Still 5 vs 5 is easy done.

Forget respawns. Respawns are gay. If you want respawns play Annex. The rest wont have them and I'm glad.

looks great, but i can't see any graphical upgrades from the first one which was an early system release. am i just spoiled because the first looks so good?

Boost King · 14-05-2008, 06:36 PM

I think its a bit hard to tell graphical upgrades, without first seeing actual gameplay. All we've seen is trailers either on Xbox or PC.

Wait to play this game in 1080p, on a 40+ inch LCD/Plasma, then judge it.
Also, dont forget GOW1 was the leader graphic wise for the 360 at the time. Epic will surely surpass its previous best. Just look at GOW on PC, the graphics are freaking amazing, especially in 2400 x 1600 or whatever. I run in 1680 x 1050 and that ****s on the XB1 version beleive me.

Epic can do masterpieces, the only limitation here peoples is the hardware of the 360, oh and the PS3 for you fanboys, both have the same sized GPU from memory at 512mb.

There are a couple trailers you can watch that show clips from the new game rendered with the new engine next to the same scenes rendered with the old engine. You can see the difference pretty clearly there. i don't know the link, but they were in one of these gears o' war forums.

Mik · 15-05-2008, 05:05 PM

Actually, that thing that was on GameTrailers TV and was put on the XBLM was real gameplay.

Boost King · 15-05-2008, 06:50 PM

Yes I know it was real gameplay, but it was not full screen, ie in HD, in all 1979 x 1080p glory.

Thats my point.

Besides, its going to look better, and its only a early preview as well, no means final product.
