E3 2008 Gears of War 2 Concept Art And Renders

Here's some new art and renders from Gears of War 2 released during E3 2008.

Gotta admit that stuff is great. Liking that they are expanding the Locust army into MANY different types even sub type boomers. A minigun and a mortar? Awesome. Seriously this update has just 4 new units or types, and there are like way more... so good going EPIC (for once).

But honestly, you couldn't just stick with the Wrench as the most horrible dog sized beast could you? Just had to add some type of Ticker that explodes (most likely)... guess more evading.

Still, i'm pleased with the direction GoW2 is going, hopefully it'll be longer and include some bots to frag.

As well, that last picture... epic stuff. (Pardon the pun)

Even though I really won't hesitate to leave this game on the shelve, I gotta admit that the CArt is yet again awesome.

Actually that Ticker thing reminds of Skaarj Pupae

I thought those things didn't have legs?

Yep its longer and is has bots ... no way I will be passing this game up regardless of my issues with aspects of Epic's character choices. This game is going to rock ... I just know it is going to be very very hard so I just hope I can get through the game on casual. I think they are really trying to force people to play co-op on this which is the only reason I can think of it for making it even more difficult. This game could seriously challenge for GOTY and I really didn't think so before.

I'm liking how GoW2 is shaping but the Minigun and Mortar look like they could be in UT III much like UT III characters look like they can be in GoW. Its like the two franchises are now fighting and growing off of each other more and more.

nah, in the end it'll be more like star trek generations with marcus needing malcolm's help so he brings him to sera through some sort of inter-universal vortex...

It's Wretches.
And it's longer, bots are officially announced as well.

I'm gonna have a fit if the Editor is still b0rked as it is in GoW 1. Regardless, I'm still probably gonna buy this game.

In that case, are there any details in the Editor? I hope Epic sorted the packages this time just like in UT3.

they haven't even announced a pc version. maybe you can add 'yet' to that sentence but even if they release a pc version i guess it's gonna be some time in 2009 until it comes out.
