mmm, meat cubes. Sounds yummy.

[Shpeshal Ed]

if you watch the video, Epic shows off the physics on the engine with a massive meat cube that they push around and shoot.

It's fucking cool.

Yes, I saw it last week. I just wanted to make a fun and witty first post, to a thread that will be heavily used for months to come.

nice job, i was just about to make some sarcastic post about how this has been the third gears 2 thread in the last 2 days, but this is the first one that has been done right, so i stand with this thread.

i love how all the pics ign has is still frames from the red/black teaser. perhaps they are trying to get away from that meme: greys of war?

also, its threads like these that warrant a higher image limit.

and meat cubes, very good...

holy shit. that unreal demo was definitely brow raising. the meat cube thing was pretty neat, but if they actually go through all the way with that destructible environment thing they showed, that would be amazing. literally everything would be destructible there....

that's what I loved about it.

And the water looks like it might actually be existant this time around which is great.

If the online is fixed as well as everything else making it in. GOTY08 confirmed.

If 4-Player Co-op happens, we all must make teams to beat the game on launch day.

My friend and I will join two people for some online co-op if it's 4 player.

Lol, nice topic title.
I was very impressed with that tech demo as well.
I'd start an online petition to demand 4-player coop, but I hate online petitions. I also agree with you about the length, it needs at least eight chapters this time around instead of the five (four-and-a-half really) we got last time.
