I went to see Casino Royale tonight at the cinemas.. well, that's enough about the actual film, but before it there was a short trailer for Gears Of War. It was absolutely incredible - more atmosphere in that one minute than in every game I've ever played put together. Not to mention seeing it on a 10 meter wide screen was nice.

Hope it's actually good to play, if so I'm getting it for sure.

Trailer was mediocre, but the game is supposed to rock.

Unreal 3 engine right?

I saw it playing before Borat, it's a lot better on the big screen, but the effect they pulled off with the music worked pretty well I think.

Honestly the music was a bit to emo for me, I liked it better when I watched it a second time in silence. Game is supposed to be really good though, a must buy if you have a 360.

Can't really tell much about the game from that imo, im sure the fact it was on a high quality huge screen with crystal clear surround sound helped its cause alittle.

It's a personal thing I guess, some games have an atmosphere.. a feeling to them, which makes it so much better for me. I don't really know what it is but hey, screw you all, I loved it.

That was awesome. One of the few trailers I've seen where the lack of sound only added to the mood.

Like Half Life

I don't think anyone is saying the game sucks, just the trailer wasn't the best I've seen. Screw us all though, like whatever the hell you want.

Hm, I thought the music added a nice touch of desperation, gave the perfect "end of the world no one left" atmosphere.

Yeah, Unreal 3 engine. UT2k7 is going to be amazing.

Well the music was good, but I'm sorry, I couldn't get over the lyrics.

"I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad, the dreams where I'm dying are the best I've ever had"

Emo line of the year...

And? Emo isn't anything new, just the term. I should hope everyone knows it stands for "emotional", and typically excessively so in a drama king/queen kind of way, and that line certainly fits the bill...

UT2k7. Same engine, probably tweaked harder, on a PC. The bad res doesn't do it justice.

Ignore the giant heads.

It's an emo line certainly, but you've got to remember that not every sad piece of text fits the pathetic miserable teenager stereotype. Maybe they meant something completely different with that line.

Ah well, I hate to defend emo culture. I absolutely effing hate it. Remember national beat up Emo day last year? I hope that some of em actually did get beaten up.

I absolutely love that advert.
I fully agree the best game advert so far, that song goes so well with that trailer.
And I've been humming that song for the last week.
Finally got to play the game the other day me n my mate have spent 12 hours playing GOW yesturday.
It is awesome the graphics are stunning.
I'm tempted by a 360 just for that game.
