ChrisZhong I already posted the debut gameplay trailer for Gears of War 2 & already posted the graphics comparison trailer for Geow 2 comparing to GeoW 1. Please delete your repostings.
How come someone downbid me for explaining why I had changed the links from GameVideos to Gametrailers for the 1st gameplay trailer last night? I noted why the Gametrailers link was superior due to the bandwith problems GameVideos encountered. Do not understand why it was downbidded.
Changed the 1st gameplay trailer to Gametrailers instead of Gamevideos because it's holding up better under the bandwith & the thumbnail still shows up while Gamevideos does not.
If you want to catch a glimpse of all the testosterone-driven, monster-shooting madness promised in Epic Games' sequel, all you need is an Xbox 360 and enough dexterity to find the trailer on the Xbox Live Video Marketplace come 11PM PST tonight. You can also find the video on 1UP at 10:30PM PST -- that's a full 30 minutes before it gets to Xbox Live.
Big games like this don't really need demos to succeed, the only one's that do need them are the games that people aren't sure about getting in the first place. Unfortunately a lot of fears people have about those games are made glaringly obvious in the demo (Frontlines, anyone?) and they end up not selling. Now if those games were limited to trailers... who knows? It's not that tough to make an awesome trailer, it is tough to make an awesome game (and therefore an awesome demo).
@Mushashi, 1st, Fallout 3 will not have demo. Then we have GoW 2 also not have demo. Is this trend going to continue with other big name game ? (which mean only lesser known game will have demo)
Epic Games has confirmed that it is not planning to release a demo of Gears of War 2 in advance of the title's November launch.
"[There are] no plans for a demo," associate producer Tanya Jessen told Shacknews. "The reason being that it's been such a fast turnaround. A two year production cycle, for a game of this caliber, is really short."
"Whenever you do a demo, you have to basically ship a whole separate product. As far as our plans after we ship, I can't really speak to that."
Mike Capps, President of Epic Games and self-proclaimed comic nerd, was on-hand at this year's New York Comic Con to take in the sights and IGN managed to catch up with him to talk about Gears of War 2…amongst other things.
it would seem that way, i for one dont think the downward pressure will last for very long, i didnt think it would last at all tbh but it seems a couple of players have decided to take their March future earnings to shorting it. i am guilty of myself supplying some of that upward pressure as i have brought this on the cheap around the 700dkp mark and expect it to rise to a ridiculous level at some point over the next few weeks so i can sell it again. i wouldnt normally be this greedy and would try to maintain an accurate prediction but ive lost about 3mil this week and counting. what with my terrible march future results and reorganising my entire portfolio about twice (i went from a short margin of -5mil to +250k in the past hour or so) so i need it :(
btw i was commenting on the general opinion i have seen from the comments that dismiss this going anywhere above 6mil not so much you personally thinking 7mil was feasable :)
