They could in the 1st. Did you play it on insane? I got cut up a couple of times.

Yeah, I remember thowing the controller plenty of times because of it. You shoot the hell out of them but they can still run up to you and mow you down, like wtf.

Big careface from me, bought it for the xbox didnt like it, tried it on the PC and didnt like it their either. I'm a big UT fan and tend to like UT engine games in general they just have the right sort of feel to em but I honestly though GoW was the most overhyped POS game I've played in years.

Zero immersion, uninspired graphics and lackluster sound.

WOW! your game taste must suck then if you didn't like this game!

No it couldn't possibly be that he has a differing opinion from yours? or maybe that he does not like this type of game? or hell even not like these types of graphics? No?

I LOVED GoW and eagerly anticipate November but please try and not make yourself look like an ass by making statements such as that above :/

I just watched and that is ****ing hot. I can't wait for November.

You know what is most annoying? People keep saying its going to be Sony's year but i disagree with this comment. Sony still don't have alot to offer this year from last year and if people thought 360's line was bad, PS3's is not better!

I am full of confidence in XBOX360 from now and the whole of 2008 like i have been when it came out. There is just so many great games coming. And Microsoft knows what it's doing.

100 + Locusts in real time?? Where's my chainsaw!

Wow that video was great. I'm already pumped about GoW2 but the new features in that video look like something that will really help the game.

Anyone know if that cutscene editor comes with the unreal editor? Beacuse that looked like it could be a ton of fun. Some Cole-Train and Phoenix dance videos!

I dunno about you but I'm really looking forward to Ninja Gaiden 2 and Fable 2. :)

You do realize that Gears of War runs on the unreal Engine 3

One of the reasons I bought it, always liked Epic games but they somehow took all of the unreal engine feel out of the game. I think it was the camera position that did it.

GoW is one of the few games I really read into the hype over the last few years. I remember reading cliffy b's blogs and couldn't wait for it. When it finally came I was bitterly disappointed. All of the features he talked up about just didn’t exist and the camera that was supposed to make me associate with the character I was playing just made me feel distanced from the game.

That said, GoW did more for Epic than UT ever did so I know I’m part of a tiny minority.

      This looks like a nice enhancement.
    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
