Are you kidding me? NPC's aren't even closing to an actual human being that thinks.

NPC's will never provide the same amount of intensity (bullets, strategy, actually doing something, etc.) that a human would. NPC's may put up "cover fire" or fire, but I don't think much of a comparison can be made.

But thats not what you said - you said 4 players wouldnt fit GoW because the maps were too small..

So I said that there was already 4 players in every map :s

Now youre talking AI

I'll elaborate. 4 human players is a lot of real fire power and will mow down a lot of enemies. Cramped quarters means fewer enemies and most of them coming head on.

I think what I am trying to say is, there is a point where either you can't get enough enemies on the screen to make it a challenge for 4 players, or you keep the same amount of enemies and make them ridiculous to kill, health wise (I can already hear the complaining).

I just don't think you would be able to satisfy everybody in this kind of issue, hence why I hope they keep it the same.

I think when CliffyB says it's going to be 'bigger, better, and more badass' (or whatever version of that he said in the video), he probably, in part, means you'll be able to shoot at all those enemies that are running around on the ground and they're not just there for looks.

I think that is what we mentioned above and I agree. GOW 2 is going to be much more than just a visual upgrade. :p

Just watch the GDC 2008 video of the upgrades to the engine. DAMN.. hundreds of ACTIVE locust renderer at runtime, new soft body effects and so much more.

Gears of War will be sick, no doubt about that. I will even venture a guess that it will completely bury MGS4 and Killzone 2 in sales COMBINED.

Heh, not trying to bring you down, but let's be realistic. :rolleyes:

It will be sick though. :p

I see no reason why they can't do 4 player. As some one mentioned most of GOW1 was 4 players and for the cramped sections it became 2 players as the teams split up into groups of 2, something they could do again.

As for over powering, they just need to make the AI players more aggressive or whatever or when four humans are playing scale the difficulty a bit. I see no reason for it not working but. Hell it should work better than in Halo really given that for multiplayer you gain 4x the people to combat with as opposed to GOW where your just swapping out AI for CPU. In halo you gain ALOT more firepower and flanking abilities than you do when playing solo and it's still a lot of fun.

Obviously if they go for 4 player coop the entire games design will be based around that fact and you won't have 4 ppl combat in overly confined, easily defended positions.

Great point. I think your right and to change the whole game like that would go away from what I said before. They have a winning formula, and I don't think that would radically change it on the sequel.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • 4TB TEAMGROUP MP44Q, 2TB T-Force G50, and 2TB WD My Passport SSDs drop to great prices

      Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.

      These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
