Gears 2 info

With E3 fast approaching and Gears of War 2 easily being one of the most highly anticipated games of the year for Xbox owners, Cliff Bleszinksi has been adding fuel to the hype train in the form of a few more snippets of information.

He has revealed that Gears of War 2 will not incorporate upgradable weapons, saying:
"We're not really that kind of game. We're not going to allow you to bling out your gun. The Lancer's a Lancer, Gus is Gus, and Marcus is Marcus. Those are the identities we're sticking with."
Bleszinksi is also clearly happy with what he is playing, describing GoW2 as better game to GoW1 (as you would expect).
"Just the other day I was driving in this icy level with a tank and power-sliding through Locusts and Gus goes, 'Locust roadkill, baby. Squish. Squish. Squash. Squash.' It was just freakin' great. And then when you shoot you're knocking over trees because we have more destroyable objects and you shoot your Boomshot and everything shatters apart.

"Gears was heavy and Gears was chunky and Gears felt satisfying. And Gears 2 is just really taking that to the next level. It's just cooler and more visceral."
No word on a release date yet but rumour is stating a November 08 release.
