Gears of War 2 announced

wohoo | February 20, 2008 | News | XBOX 360 Company 
An Italian press release sent out just before Microsoft's GDC keynote announces Gears of War 2. A one-minute trailer should arrive soon, as it's apparently being shown during the keynote.
You knew it, I knew it, and now it’s finally official - Gears of War 2, the sequel to Epic Games’ 2006 mega-hit, is coming. Yup, we’re in for some more Locust chainsawing action in the future.

    Played the first one (PC) all co-op with my roommate, good times. Hopefully GoW2 will be just as good.

    Now it has been officially confirmed by Cliffy B himself, even though everyone knew after the Italian PR leak. Can't wait to see some real footage of it.

    Now watch as 360 fanboys arrive to throw crap-encrusted mud at te PS3. It'll be guaranteed a GOTY nomination and likely a win.

    As much as I hate to admit, PS3 owners have nothing to counter this.

      A possible argument could be:
      "yea, well, all your so called exclusives are on the PC too, har har. Why get a 360, all the good games will end up on PC anyways ".

      But, GOTY for 360? possibly. GOTY for all platforms? that's a tough one.

        First party title for MS, they can re-release it as an XNA port if they want to really. Dish a little more money out for extra content to make it worthwhile for the PC gamers and it's a winner. It's not like they released it on another console platform.

        It'll be enjoyable for sure, I just hope the official announcement wasn't what spurred Gamepro to go stupidly into the night going "OMG GOW2, EPIC IS SELLING OUT TO MS"

          It's true, Gamepro nailed it on the head, tomorrow Epic will announce the sale of the company to MS and will also announce the development of Halo 7.

      Why would you hate to admit that? It's definately going to be GOTY based on the fact it's a Gears of War game.

        You know how fanboyish you sound there? 'GOTY because it's Gears'? That's just being blind. Sure it *may* get GOTY for other reasons, but just being Gears does not warrant a GOTY.

          You said you HATE TO ADMIT that PS3 has nothing to counter it, you know how fanboyish that is? Are you completely *bleep*ed?

          Whether I like gears or not, it's kind of obvious it's going to be GOTY or at least win tons of other shit, just like Halo 3 was despite it being rather mediocre. Just because it was Halo.

    It was inevitable. One of the 360s biggest games was bound to get a sequel. Can't wait for this one though. As awesome as the first one was, it still left me craving more. The graphics are also bound to be unparalelled. I just want to be able to fight a lot more big-ass Locusts in this one.

    Going to watch the trailer in a few minutes. Hopefully, the game will be release sometime this year.
