Gears of War: Footage and First Impressions
360 Killer App: Shakeycam Footage Inside
SPOnG’s inside man in New York managed to grab some shakey hand cam video of a Gears of War demonstration and multiplayer action shown at the Lincoln Centre Theater in Manhattan, this week, which you can check out below. It's a bit dark, and lacking colour, but what can you do in the face of a strict ban on all photography?
MPEG4 XviD (43.0MB)
Quicktime (60.6MB)
Windows Media (42.6MB
We actually managed to grab a quick fifteen minutes with GoW at X06 last week, and were suitably impressed. It’s quite possibly the greatest game we’ve played all year. The controls are sublime. In fact, the whole game is sublime. Perhaps (aside from sublime) the one word which really sums it up is visceral. The hype is more than justified. This is the first truly must-have game for Xbox 360.
Even if you aren’t such a big fan of ultra-violent action shooters with massive muscley marines, shit scary aliens and cheese sauce storylines, you might find it hard not to like this game.
We also managed a quick chat with designer Cliffy B, which we’ll tell you more about next week, but for the time being, enjoy the footage and just start counting the days till Emergence Day on 17 November.

I actually really did expect this to just be a big ball of hype. I actually look forwards to it now...

I was dissapointed to have missed it at E3 but man was it worth the wait. The multiplayer, for the 5 rounds i got to play, was a f**kign blast. Even if the single player is worthless (which i doubt) i can easily see spending many many many hours playing this online. Sort of a nice halfway between your general shooter types.
it falls in about like this:
quake - timespliters - halo - Gears - ghost recon - counter strike
(ordered by level of "strategery" as compared to twitch)
I was worried this would end up being another bruteforce but now im convinced this is going to be an absolute monster of a game.

Cool, wasn't sure about this game a couple of months back, but form everything I have read about it over the last month or so has got me quite excited.
Nice video, Lupos.
