Gears 2 for PS3????

[Jumplion]

Socom: What?

Is that the new Halo 3 expansion?

lol...?

Nah, LBP will sell, but its not my sort og game, as for Killzone, does anyone remember how bad the first one was, don't hold out hope, as for the 360, Microsoft are playing to win by buying the competition, I would feel sorry for Sony but they were suck assholes when promoting their shiny black box that had no games whatso ever I feel inclined to laugh at them.

Have any of you actually, oh I dunno, played the original Killzone? Or are you guys going by word of mouth?

The original Killzone was extremely atmospheric and intense and incredibly immersive (for it's time), and most of the people who've played it really enjoyed it including myself.

Are you kidding, it was a poor black and white shooter with horrible controls that was hyped lke crazy, of course I bought it, and hated it...its my opinion, you have your I disliked Killzone 1, and Killzone 2 looks like a COD 4 clone with the sci - fi element thrown in.

Sorry, you do have your own opinion, but I hear so much from one side and so much from the other that I'm just not sure that most people have even played the damn game.

I also played the original Killzone and am, admittedly, still fairly skeptical of Killzone 2. I didn't hate the original Killzone, I just thought that it wasn't anything overly special. It COULD have been a lot better, is basically what I'm saying.

It is coming to the Ps3 - its called Quantum Theory.

Sorry, I just came up with that joke the second I saw this thread.

Its still possible after all, and I figure it would be even likely for Gears 3, but I do doubt it would happen for Gears 2. But I'm not kicking. The first wasn't that good when I tried it, and this doesn't seem much better.

WE have resistance 2, The better verison of gears of war. Also with vehicles. And great Co-op. The 30-foot monsters are a plus.

Killzone 2 will have decent online play? Think of call of duty 4 on a bigger scale.

Gears 2 isn't even being released on the PC. That's right its not even being released on Microsoft's own operating system.

Not true. Epic merely said they aren't doing the port if there is going to be one, but they didn't do the port of the original either (it was another developer, People Can Fly, which was bought out by Epic after they were impressed by the new content they added to the PC version).

Well if the bought out people can fly then I now expecting more of them.

People who think that Gears of War, or any other Microsoft Games owned IP, will come the the PS3 or the Wii is delusional to a new level of delusional. End of story. Good day to you all in this thread that has sunk to a new level of thick.

 

[searanox]

Eh, I dunno. The quality of the port is pretty abysmal even if the extra content itself is good. It has huge issues with crashing, stuttering which makes the game unplayable, etc. If Gears 2 is ported, I won't trust People Can Fly with it (which is sad, because they did Painkiller, both a well-performing and graphically impressive game for its time).

 

[searanox]

Maybe they just can't handle third person movement.

I assume they were just rather rushed to get it out, didn't test it extensively, or weren't familiar enough with the engine to get it running smoothly on the PC.

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

the first was xbox exclusive, and i've seen the came cover of 2 and that has "only on 360" on the cover so no.

dude, the first gears went to PC, and I own a copy that says only on xbox360 so... who knows

 

[PurpleRain]

I didn't enjoy the first anyway. But it would be nice for the Sony users to get into the hype like the first. Chainsaw guns are kinda cool.

 

[The Wooster]

well you would have to get used to the new control scheem such as R1 being shoot and x being cover or something like that

Worked just fine for uncharted. Which essentially was Gears of War with added Indiana jones.

 

[shadow skill]

Gears 2 won't exist when R2 comes out, as far as PS3 owners are concerned, admit it.

For all we care, does it exist now?

No, not at all, I'd rather have Fable on PS3 but that's just me.

It played completely differenly, man. They just had pop and stop gameplay, but even that was different in Uncharted in that it wasn't even neccesary.

 

[The Wooster]

Myeh. On hard mode Uncharactet felt like a less 'chunky' (not in a bad way) Gears of War.

Edit: To people saying "Do we ps3 owners care about GOW2"

They care enough to make threads about it apparently.

Double Edit: I'm loving all the Resistance 2 comparisons.

"Don't worry chums! We don't need a generic sci fi shooter with terrible characters! We already have a generic sci fi shooter with absolutely atrocious characters! We're in the clear.

It's kind of like saying you don't need cancer because you already have HIV. Way to go guys.

Ok, lets get one thing straight. The Gears of War IP is owned by Microsoft, the same way the Halo IP is. Neither game is ever going to get released on Sonys black box, lets drop this topic its not going to happen, theres not even the slightest chance it will happen.

 

[D_987]

Just for clarification, would someone mind explaining to me how the Publisher/Developer issue affected the whole Fear and Project Origin thing?

Well the guys tat made the orginal F.E.A.R got everything but the name, hence why all the "expansion" packs are terrible.

Project Origin is the true sequal to F..E.A.R published by the original creators, the just lost rights to the name.

Meh. Insomniac has put a fair amount of effort into the characters for 2. Seen the Project?

Nope sorry. Resistance 2 gets the same deal as Halo 3. If it's not in the game it doesn't count. Viral marketing, literature, comic books etc do not a good game]/b] make.

Yeah, how does that actually work? Was this just a unique case, or is it possible for a developer to leave with everything but the name in all cases? Just wondering if a similar thing could happen with this game (or, indeed, any licensed IP of a game). I know it sounds like a retarded idea, but I just would like to understand the particulars of this instance.

I'll try and remember. The developer had already been bought by another publisher just as the game was being released, I think its a unique case and other IPs might be settled diffrently.
