To match this game I expect Gears 3 to have Dom launching capabilities.

If Gears of War was being developed in Japan for the PS2, it would look like this.

Wow! They managed to make Gears even more uninteresting and bland as it already is.

that is what i was thinking until the girl showed up. which was interesting for a second until it turned into you throwing her as an attack rather than her being a playable character.

'Greys of War' was bad enough (admittedly Gears 2 was better), but this game takes brown and grey and dumps the rest of the colour pallet in the nearest bin. Good job.

i am very tired of cover mechanics in games... its supposed to make it more "realistic" i think, but AI of the enemies is broken in this type of game generally, the enemies never seem to be afraid of being shot, i would like to see a game where you shoot one guy and the others actually like back off and are like "F that i dont want to get shot", and they take cover to actually hide and protect themselves; but you take cover in these games and enemies just walk out at you, (gears, matt hazard, this, etc....) bullets should HURT!

Wow, looks like they literally copied both Gears of War and last years Prince Of Persia at the same time. That's quite a feat.

I remember when this was a PS3 exclusive, and PS3 fanboys would go apeshit if you even insinuated that this game was similar to Gears. I'm glad that it's multiplat now, so that we can all join together and rag on it for being creatively bankrupt. 
 
And as an odd aside, this is somehow making me not even want to play a GoW 3. Thanks a lot Tecmo. Dicks

It looks like Gears with Japanese game design and Prince of Persia princess to toss around.

360 needs a God of War and PS3 needs a Gears of War.
360-Dante's Inferno, PS3-Quantum Theory. fair trade.

now we need to trade an Uncharted and Halo. somebody get on that.

A lot of those areas looked like they didn't even have textures. Maybe its, uh, early.
