GDC 08: Gears of War 2 Unveiled, Due for November 08 on Xbox 360, Cliffy B Has a Lancer


In a somewhat surprising move, despite the fact that we said this could very well happen, Gear of War 2 was unveiled for the first time last night during Microsoft’s keynote.

A teaser trailer was shown which had no diologue showing Marcus Fenix, the main character for the 1st game and will be again for the 2nd game, having a chainsaw duel with one of the Locust before Marcus kills it.

THEN…

Cliff “Cliffy B” Blizinksi, lead designer at Epic Games came to the stage chainsaw his way onto it.

“It’s a funny thing about rumours on the Internet – once in a while, they’re actually true.” said possibly one of the cooliest guys in the industry (He has a dress sense, I’ll give him that)

He then went on to illterate that the game will be a Xbox 360 exclusive and it’ll be coming this November (As in this November 2008)
