Gears of War 2 rolls out this November

GDC '08: Gears of War 2 Coming out in November

The Sequel to Epic Games' high-octane third-person shooter gunning down the Xbox 360 for the holidays.

Epic Games
The fact that Epic Games is at work on a sequel to 2006's massive Xbox 360 hit Gears of War is one of the industry's worst-kept secrets. Aside from being a logical business move--Gears has sold 4.5 million copies globally across the Xbox 360 and PC to date--Epic has been less than opaque about its intentions, even as far back as last year's Game Developers Conference when lead designer Clifford Bleszinski (aka Cliffy B) said that his company "intends to do a sequel."
The question, then, has been when would Microsoft and Epic finally get around to making the announcement. True to rampant speculation, that reveal came today during Microsoft's keynote speech at the 2008 Game Developers Conference.
After Epic founder Tim Sweeney and president Mike Capps left the stage with no mention of the shooter midway through Microsoft's presentation, the lights dimmed to close out the keynote...and a trailer for Gears of War 2 played. Cliffy B then stormed the stage, chainsaw rifle in hand, revealing the game would officially light up Microsoft's console exclusively this November.
No PC version of the game was mentioned, though Epic released an enhanced PC port of the sci-fi third-person shooter a year after its console counterpart.

The game Gears of War 2 runs on the Unreal 3 engine, so if you liked the Unreal Tournament games and you liked GoW GET THIS GAME!

Lol, look at UT3 and compare it to Gears of War. You'd swear that Dom is in both games. Epic's gaming engines have surpassed anything so far. I even remember them getting sued by the another company for not managing the engine for the other company's game or something similar (omgofftopic) anyone remember really what for?

Also, thanks for the trailer link. Can't wait

Gears and UT3 look the same because they use the same engine and yes the characters are practically identical but that's just how Epic rolls. I can't wait for this game .

It was a teaser not a trailer. + It showed some new stuff coming for GoW2 like New execution move, possible chainsaw battle.

Everyone is getting too excited about that game and I can't stress it more. All rsv2 is going to be is upgrades to rsv1, like some new maps, gametypes, weapons ect... If you think about it's not worth $60 at all. All the new stuff that's going in rsv2 can instead be made into DLC for rsv1, it would be hella cheaper.
