It's amazing. A must see.

:shocked:

coming Nov. 8...no announcement by EPIC for a PC version yet.

 

[dguy6789]

Highly impressive. I hope the game turns out to be really awesome.

 

[Kromis]

Gary Jules - Mad World + Gears of War = Ownage

 

[Hyperlite]

wow. just wow. watch that 12 min gameplay video at the bottom, really impressive stuff. if it comes to PC, it will probably be dx10.

 

[Kromis]

What the hell? According to that site, Marcus' last name is spelled "Phoenix". I thought it was Fenix?

 

[MBrown]

I believe he said it is coming out for PC a little bit after.

 

[RobertR1]

Already on pre-order My PC is going to take quite a backseat to the 360 for the next few months.

 

[Pocatello]

This is the game that could change my mind about getting the 360.

Not to provoke an argument or anything, but looking at a game like this just reminds me how badly coded some of the resource-heavy PC games are. (e.g. F.E.A.R., BF2, etc.)

I hope so... I've been trying to talk myself out of buying a 360 just fot this game (upcoming G80/680i expendatures and all). This would certainly seal the deal.

No compromises needed on the console like what must be done for the thousands of various configs for PC's out there. With homogenous hardware the devs can push it to the max. TO THE MAX!? yep, TO THE MAX!!111

MS will let this milk out for a while. I doubt you'll see a PC version for atleast 6months. Lost Planet is another game that is very impressive. I'm just as excited about LP as about GoW.

What, It only took EPIC almost 5 years to get their DX 9 game engine out . On the other hand Crytek did it 2 1/2 years ago.

I'm the biggest fan of the UT universe and this looks exceptional.

DX10 will supposedly run games more like the consoles do now... more direct hardware-to-hardware action and fewer layers of software. Who knows if it's true.

 

[40sTheme]

Hmmm..... I wonder if there's any way to make games easier to run on the PC. Valve did a great job with their graphics engine (don't know what the it's called, is it Source, too?), it looks great and runs pretty darn good too. F.E.A.R's is completely inefficient, and Oblivion's is pretty bad, too... There has to be a more efficient, comfortable way to program graphics. Well, someone will find it eventually. Hopefully...

 

[TigersHere]

It looks really amazing in 720p
word is that the designers for GoW got M$ to make it 512 meg of ram for video vs the planed 256 like the ps3 has
They said the game can't do what they want it to do with 256 so M$ lost a ton of $$ to give them what they wanted

True or not it can't hurt to double the video ram

 

[lopri]

PS3 only has 256MB RAM?!

256MB XDR for the system, 256MB GDDR3 for the GPU, vs the 512MB unified in the 360.

- M4H

 

[Noema]

Preordered the collector's edition last week

 

[lopri]

Bump for people who might have missed this excellent clip.

 

[Kromis]

Lol, they have a thread on this at Off Topic. I'm pretty sure no one is going to miss this.
