Gears of War 2 info at Comic Con

Gears of War is going to be making an appearance at Comic-Con, it was revealed today. No one knows what exactly the presentation will be about, but apparently dev boss Michael Capps and scriptwriter Joshua Ortega will be leads on stage. Hopefully it will be a lot more enjoyable than what we saw at GDC, with a huge square of meat pointlessly rolling around an environment.

What do we already know about GoW2? Well, it is supposed to place even more emphasis on cover rather than “run and gun” style game play, which is welcome. If both players use the chainsaw on the Lancer gun this time it will start a duel between the players. In addition, we’ll be able to fight the Brumak’s this time – they are the huge creature that appeared at the end of Act 4 in the first game.

Also, new characters, new weapons, and new enemies have also all been hinted at too. Oh, and many parts of the environment will also be destructible this time round, particularly when the Torque Bow is used.

This currently mysterious appearance by the game and its creators is scheduled to happen on the 20th April, which is the last day of the Comic-Con event.
