Gears Of War - General info and Discussion #1 (MODS LOCK PLS)

Flipped through the guide today.. looked real nice. I didn't have time to focus on many parts, but I did see there was one level where you get to use a spotlight.. dunno why that caught my attention. The pictures in the guide looked friggin' gorgeous though, I still can't believe that it looks that freaking amazing in-game.
 
Question for those who know the answer:


I preordered Gears of War a while ago, I put down $15 in cash (just emptied all the cash out of my wallet and thats what I got.)


Since I pre ordered in cash does that mean I have to pay the rest off in cash? Because I have a Visa gift card with $45 left on it (15+45=60, plus I live in a tax free state), as well as store credit that I could use.
 
Anyone else giddy as a school girl right now! I'm not! EEEEeiiiiiiiiiaaaaaa!!!!! On another note. I got my new Stuff magazine yesterday, and there was an ad for GOW/Gamestop/EBGames, stating that it will be available in-store 11/08.
Anyone lining up at midnight for this badboy?
 
Word has it that Epic has said, and stores have said, it can be sold as soon as any stores get it. No rule on having to sit on it until Tuesday to sell it.

So whenever a store gets it, they can start selling.
 
I pre ordered the collectors edition of this game from Walmart (shudder) a long time ago for 59.99 and I just got an email that it will ship on the 6th! I am stoked because I thought I would have to wait til the 12th.

SO EFFING CLOSE!

The 6th huh? Hmm...I wonder if we'll get it Tuesday after all?

From everything I read, it's looking like it. Some stores are even saying they could have it late monday, and if they do they will sell it.
 
[quote name='toper']TCR's?[/QUOTE]

In a nutshell, TCR's are the rules Microsoft has about each and every thing you do when making a game, and how you have to do it. More specifically it's about things you CAN'T do when making a game.

For example, one TCR is that pressing A must always select in a menu, while pressing B must always go back in a menu. If you made your game with the Y button selecting things in a menu, Microsoft would send it back after submission and make you fix it.

Another TCR is that in every live game, and xbla game, there always needs to be a way for you to select and view another players gamertag while in the game.

Especially with Live, there are tons of very obscure TCR's that are a pain in the ass for developers to implement just right to make MS happy.
 
It should be in stores on the 7th. My local EB and GC have told me that they have guys that will physically drive it from the airport to the stores.. both my EB and GC have said they'll have it by 2pm on the 7th. It ships out on Monday morning.

[quote name='D4rkN1ght']my eb told me it ships on the 7th, they will have it on the 8th :([/QUOTE]

Your EB lied to you. Multiple people have seen that EB and GS (many stores) already have them in the back. But what I don't understand is they still tell everyone the 8th they can get it.

so what am i supposed to do?
 
[quote name='D4rkN1ght']so what am i supposed to do?[/QUOTE]

Wait it out, and talk to them again late monday to see if they sing the same song.

I think if they have them on Tuesday they should be selling them. But who knows. I read reports of EB/GS telling people 7th and I read reports of them telling people 8th.

My personal feeling is that each store is getting so many phone calls about it, that they are just telling everyone the 8th to be on the safe side.
 
I've been tempted to change my preorder over to the CE, but I don't think I will. It's so hard for me not to buy the CE of high profile games.
 
[quote name='asianxcore']anyone have any info on how to get the Best Buy faceplate?

is it supposed to come out the week of launch?[/QUOTE]

I asked about the faceplate at Best Buy today and the employee told me that they already had them but that they couldn't sell them until the game came out. Bullshit, I know.
 
any one have the videos from gametrailer.com they can put on putfile or something?

i have 7 8 9 10 in mov foprmat and 16 17 in hd wmv format. looks phenominal streamed to the 360.

The game isn't street dated, so we can sell it as soon as we get it. Trust me, we're not going to just keep a game this huge in the back.
 
[quote name='Zoglog']ALL gloves are off!

1up has a VERY NICE Preview of the game on 1up show. Though you dont see any new footage the comments they make on all the possible pitfalls not occurring makes me want this game very badly

Awesome! Thanks!

For those who don't want to hear about the other games, the gears coverage starts at around 20 minutes.
 
[quote name='BREVITY']Anyone hearing anything about Single Player length???? I know its not going to be all that long but I am wondering.[/QUOTE]

I heard about 10-14 hours.
 
I have that CC 15% of GoW and GoW Collector's that applies 11/1 - 11/30. However, when is the actual sale date for CC? I need to know because it's around $63-64 after the savings for Collector's.

Minimum of 10 hours. But I'd highly recommend playing on hardcore, to lengthen it .

At least your BB employees new what was going on. The ones at mine that I talked to had no idea if a faceplate was being released.

Hopefully they'll be a lot to go around come launch, they look rad.
