Got to act 4 in gears 1 yesterday. The game is still incredibly fun.

Agreed. I'm making a COG tag run and I'm having a blast with some of the encounters. Graphically, the game still looks amazing, imo.

I'm hoping to make another run through 2 before 3 drops.

According to the uploader, Epic has added music to MP.

In this one, the instrumentals from Mad World play on Gridlock during the second round. Neat.

EDIT

Skins and menus and stuch:

Nice. I need to be very careful with these videos to try not to spoil anything, but man - Gridlock looks super gorgeous this time around. I only hope Mad World doesn't wear after a while - I'd hate to have the song ruined because I heard it so much.
 
6 hour campaign is good; hopefully little to no filler.

Gridlock looks fantastic as a nighttime map. Gears of War 2's greatest aesthetic failing was the lack of night levels. They're the best. I want a redone mansion with this engine. Wash out the taste of that humid, green bloom monstrosity in Gears 2.
 
Music is an interesting addition. I didn't mind silence, but I did bump the Gears 1 OST during Gears 2 matches at times via custom soundtrack.

I plan on it. But campaign will be the first thing ill tackle. Real talk

Edit- I also feel the same... My days drag hard

Gridlock 3.0 looks so mean. I love how they went back to that gritty Gears 1 look for it.

Huh? Gears 1 gridlock was nice and bright and stood out fairly well, I miss that :(

Glad Gridlock is there sure since it's my favourite map, but sigh.
 
Gotta wonder what "war supporter" medal is. The achievement is called Socialite, so it may have to do with assists, or perhaps playing with friends?

Maybe when you spot the opposing team?
 
WTF @ sad music in multiplayer. Really, what.

Don't get me wrong, I like Mad World and what it evokes but... it just doesn't fit. IMHO melancholic music does not fit in the middle of a multiplayer match with characters shouting all sorts of silly one-liners or blowing into pieces in a rather exhilarating and comical fashion.

Hope there's an option to disable it, because as much as I like Mad World, hearing it 395793485 times will get very old.
 
One thing I noticed from Gears 3 videos is that shadows looks absolutely amazing for console game.God Of War 3 had some of the best shadows I've seen in console game,this one has too.

I know that there is an achievement for killing an epic employee/killing someone who has. So it very well could be that achievement.

Lambency is the Epic employee achievement.

I thought campaign was going to be 10 hours long?

I recall Epic saying more than once that Gears 3 has the longest single player campaign they've ever done, but I seem to recall Gears 2 being in the area of 6-ish hours. So if Gears 3 is the same length, that's not longer.

Well, to be fair, it could be 10 seconds longer and still be "right."

But yeah, I was expecting a "meatier package," no homo.
 
My curiosity got the best of me so I checked out the second video PXG linked (with the characters/skins). I don't see Bernie Mataki among the COG character selections. That's pretty disappointing. I hope she isn't limited to a few (or one) random cameo in the campaign. She's easily one of the coolest characters in the novels penned by the same author who wrote Gears 3's story.

Has someone actually commented on the campaign being 10 hours long or is this speculation?

Look on the previous two pages. A gaffer started and finished the game within 11-12 hours and said that he did not play straight through.

DLC broseph. I'm pretty sure she was already confirmed in the game.

You get that shit, so I can kill you. lol.

Also, I don't know how I feel about the madworld at the beginning of a round. I like it, but using my astros I just don't know how loud it will be. Hopefully it isn't madworld on every map though.

It's probably just that map, and like others said here's to hoping you can turn it off. More than likely there's a music slider anyhow though.

Wow, that music kicking in on gridlock sent chills down my spine, especially when combined with the already desolate level.

Only thing is will it get old? Might be best if it was a random thing, every 8-10 rounds or something around there kick in a song from a selection of a few.

I don't mind if you can't turn it off because it doesn't play for the entire round. Seems like it's just the first minute or so. When I watched the stream of Sandbar the other night I didn't hear any music between rounds. So I'm wondering if Gridlock is the only map that has the music.

I hope you're right (about her being DLC). I do remember hearing confirmation that she was in the game; Rod was spreading the word of her VA's twitter account a month or so back.

Well, Onyx guard wasn't in that list either, and he's also confirmed.

In fact, some of the leaked footage had him in Azura.

That's why I'm thinking/betting that the first round of DLC will be either completely from disk locked content, or partially.

Best implementation, I think.

If anything is going to get old though, it's the end-of-round quips. So grating.

I didn't mean in comparison to Gridlock in Gears 1, but more that dark look that several areas in Gears 1 had. I love what they've done with lighting and color in Gears 3, but the dark look of the first one stood out at the time.
 
Perhaps Mad World in Gridlock is just a sort of Easter Egg, in which case it's a rather sweet idea. I just hope it's not the norm for every map to have a song or set of songs attached to it.

Are you new to Gears? That's always been there bud.

I know. And it's always been awful. :p

I keep hoping they'll realize that, and remove them. Or at least add more sound bites for variety.

It got old fast for me in Gears 2, and thankfully there's the option to turn it off. So I don't have to deal with hearing it all the time.

WHATTTTTTT??? When did they announce this? I'll listen to them for a while but after putting in as much time as I expect to I know that they will get old. This will be a godsend.
 
Ballistik said:
Um, it's an option in Gears 2. I've had the voice muted for like over a year now. Round ends and all you hear is the music.
Click to expand...
WTF. Where is this option? Why do I feel ashamed that I did not know this exists?
 
Checking now, an all I did was turn down dialogue volume in audio settings. I think it actually mutes the campaign dialogue too now that I think about it.

I remember I was worried it would mute the characters' voice in-game during a match, but it didn't.
