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.

    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
