Gears Of War 2 Confirmed For Nov 2008 News

Cliffy B confirms the inevitable sequel; Marcus Fenix and the COGs heading to Xbox 360 in just a matter of months...

Gears of War 2

It had to be. With the a double-pronged onslaught of shooters scheduled for release exclusively on PlayStation 3 by the end of 2008 in the form of Resistance: Fall of Man 2 and KillZone 2, Microsoft needed something to bolster what is otherwise a shooter-less first-party line-up for the Holiday '08 period. At the platform holder's GDC Keynote Speech tonight, that something was unveiled in the form of the inevitable Gears of War 2 from Epic Games.

Following a presentation of a technology update to Epic's much-licensed Unreal Engine 3, which featured Fenix showing off new specular lighting techniques, high density crowds (featuring Locusts, naturally), and new fluid effects, Lead Designer on the first Gears Cliffy B, jumped on stage to reveal that not only was the Gears sequel in the works - but that it would also be heading to Xbox 360 in November.

"To our team the original game was just a tease, the appetizer to the 'Gears of War' characters and new style of gameplay. We were so amped to get to the next chapter, and dig deeper into the universe of this franchise," said Cliff Bleszinski, lead designer for Epic Games. "'Gears of War 2' is an even bigger, better, and more badass experience than the first game, and we can't wait to get it in the hands of eager gamers this November."

Little is known about the finer details surrounding the sequel, but one thing is for sure - there'll be several Xbox execs breathing a sigh of relief now they won't have to rely on largely original IP to combat the Helghast and Chimera this Holiday.

The teaser trailer for the game is now live on Xbox Live Marketplace.

sorry but how long did it take for the first gears game to be ported to the pc, and yet pc players have been moaning about cliff even before the games release on the 360.

just get used to it gears 2 isnt comming out on pc, your more likly to see mario galaxy on the 360 than seeing gears 2 on the pc.

lol if you playing on a pirated/chipped/modded 360 its no wonder you cant play on live not only that but anyone with a modded xbox playing pirated game cant play multiplayer matches on live as microsoft instantly bans any account found playing on modded hardware which im in full support to them as the scum that pirate games/software cost the industry millions every year and you wonder why games cost so much, it all down to cheap scates not paying like all the other decent honest people out there (no piracy would mean cheaper games plus if the pirates haddnt made illeagl versions of the first gears you would have gears 2 on pc) so stop blaming Cliff Bleszinski its you fu.ck.ing pirates that need to rot in hell
