Campaign Information
Features

* Rod confirmed 4 Player Co-Op in the Gears IRC, with 4 unique characters. Rod confirmed that co-op includes Marcus, Dom, Cole, Baird and a "variety of other characters"

Story

* Set 18 months after Gears of War 2, and after the fourth Gears of War book
* The location shown in the "Ashes to Ashes" trailer is a location nicknamed 'Char', where the remains of victims from the Hammer of Dawn strikes are heavily present.

Weapons

* The Pendulum Lancer is in Gears of War 3
* A Double Barrelled Shotgun was spotted in the Ashes to Ashes trailer. Lee Perry expands:

Haha, I wonder if we could have made a trailer with basically a slow camera pan down a new shotgun and had about the same amount of interest from existing players, hahha.

Characters

* Dom is now heavily bearded. According to Rod, this is due to his problems dealing with the loss of his wife.
* Anya is the female COG soldier seen in the "Ashes to Ashes" trailer. We will learn more on her transition from pencil pusher to soldier throughout the books.

Enemies

* Lambent Locust: These enemies mutate and transform as you fight them.

Some shitty grabs from the youtube HD version.

Theme of gears of war 3: hair. Lots and lots of hair.

 

[Rapping Granny]

dude to bro

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

I can't get excited for CG trailers but the game will be awesome nonetheless. Yay for tentacle monsters!

 

[Gribbix]

Theme of gears of war 3: hair. Lots and lots of hair.

Beards of War. I thought that one up myself.

 

[Salsa]

a woman !

 

[Enojado]

Is that Marcus' father???

 

[UltimaPooh]

The campaigns for these games have always been memorable. Can't wait to see how it ends. Hopefully it does end once and for all.

Is that Marcus' father???

You mean Dom with a beard?

 

[chubigans]

a woman !

Or maybe...Raiden?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

more of a commercial.

 

[Nirolak]

While the "trilogy plot" will end, I think you can pretty much be guaranteed we will keep getting Gears of War games for the foreseeable future.

 

[Shadowlink]

Is that Marcus' father???

That was Dom!

Can't wait to see some gameplay.

 

[Kaako]

Or maybe...Raiden?

You awesome sob! :lol

 

[Ten-Song]

So Dom's got a beard now. Clearly someone's been paying attention to the Dudebro thread.

 

[White Sharingan]

Seems Dom hasn't been shaving for a while...wonder why he is the only one who actually looks different, GeOW2 focused on him a lot, maybe on the sequel it'll be the same?

 

[sinny]

That was Dom!

Can't wait to see some gameplay.

Maybe ....

DOM is Marcus' real father! :O

( might be time travel involved )

 

[Bloodrage]

Needs more gray.

 

[Zombie James]

Not a bad teaser at all.

 

[lybertyboy]

more of a commercial.

As opposed to every other trailer that's created for art.

What did you expect?

 

[UltimaPooh]

While the "trilogy plot" will end, I think you can pretty much be guaranteed we will keep getting Gears of War games for the foreseeable future.

Ugh. Just let it go out with a bang. It's not like Cliffy can't make a compelling new IP that will sell buttloads.

His wife died in his arms? in the middle of a battlefield over the future of the planet. I know I wouldn't care about shaving anymore.

 

[skyfinch]

Is that Marcus' father???

I thought the same thing. Doesn't look anything like Dom.

 

[adamsapple]

Kinda looks like Anya

 

[AcciDante]

Beards confirmed.

 

[Aladuf]

Very awesome trailer, it's got me all ready for some gameplay now.

 

[ghostmind]

Dom's just looking for a nice cardboard box to spend the night...

 

[Dead Prince]

is dom going to die? i hope he does.

 

[Struct09]

Day one

 

[Pappasman]

Cliff is an awesome dude.

oh yeah, Gears 3 looks cool too...

 

[TheVampire]

Kinda looks like Anya

is that a girl?

 

[Enojado]

That was Dom!

Can't wait to see some gameplay.

Yeah, you're probably right (still holding out we'll meet Marcus' father, though).

 

[Pyrokai]

Anyone catch the blonde Square Enix character? Wtf?

 

[AwesomeSyrup]

Now the wait for E3 and gameplay footage begins.

 

[JaseC]

Teaser was completely underwhelming, as expected. :lol I'm hoping there's a live demo of the game during MS's E3 conference.

Kinda looks like Anya

All I see is a JRPG protagonist.

 

[Manus]

Awesome, as always loved the song they picked for this trailer.

 

[Silver_DNA]

Beards of War?

 

[Ermac]

Was that blonde a female?

 

[Hachimaki]

So now we have the Flood in Gears?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Kinda looks like Anya

Looks like Cloud

 

[Lebron]

better than most teasers these days.

 

[VOOK]

They said there was females in it now, so probably.

 

[BravoSuperStar]

It says bro's till the end, but there is a chic...wtf?

 

[UltimaPooh]

Yeah, you're probably right (still holding out we'll meet Marcus' father, though).

You probably will, but he's not a soldier, he's a scientist so he's probably not buff like the rest of the dude bros.

 

[Salsa]

girl needs a beard

 

[NoRéN]

Awesome, as always loved the song they picked for this trailer.

haven't failed so far, imo.

 

[adelante]

Niiiice. From majornelson's twitter:

The musical piece in the trailer is called "Heron Blue" by Sun Kil Moon. It's from this album: http://j.mp/gow3music

 

[adamsapple]

Looks like Cloud

:lol

sans inhumanly gelled hair.

 

[-COOLIO-]

how did he become a designer at 17?

 

[skyfinch]

So I'm guessing that they're not following the plot from the books? Unless it starts off right after the ending of Jacinto's Remnant.

 

[Zophar]

This place has been awash with UE3 hair jokes for like a week now and this comes out and all you can focus on is the beards :lol
