The moment Gears of War fanboys have been waiting for is almost here. The time when gamers across the globe get a first look at in-game Gears of War 2 footage. Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Tonight (depending which time zone you're in), at 10:30PM pacific (1:30AM eastern), GameVideos will be the first to premier the exclusive GoW2 gameplay video featuring an introduction by Cliffy B and promises a "first-look of chainsaw duels and large scale firefights with Locust Horde." Then, at 11:00PM pacific (2:00AM eastern), Gametrailers TV will be airing that SAME GoW2 video. There was some confusion to whether or not the GameVideos and Gametrailers videos were the same and we just confirmed with our sources that to be true. There will only be one GoW2 gameplay video. Finally, at 11:01PM pacific, the same GoW2 video will be available for download off the Xbox Live Marketplace in full HD glory.
Strap in tight fanboys, because Gears of War 2 video eye-candy is but hours away ...

So...why was GT's countdown timer shorter than that of 1up if they were going to release it after them? Even now if you go on their website, it says 'WATCH NOW' but the link leads to some other video!
Argh, can't wait! Release it already!

why so late, this seems rather pointless, what did gametrailers miss the general logic train, this is, I fucking hate gametrailers already and Xbox Live charge me $30 a month to play games will ya.

you dont need live gold to download trailers...the free xbl account type (silver) is good enough.
i wonder if GT had to actually "pay" to have the trailer exclusively for half an hour :p

I was just pointing out why I hate Xbox Live, I already know you can download stuff for free, I mean watch ads for free.

Wooo, that was awesome. Using downed enemies as a body shield, breaking necks, chainsawing in the back, chainsaw dueling, a slower rof higher powered lancer type rifle, some crazy explody pistol, burmack fights. Looks fun. Atleast now people won't want to play execution because of the potential bullet shields (I like warzone better, requires more teamplay to win).
Graphics seem the same though, but the greater amount of shit they are able to pull of on-screen is impressive, though I think Ghost Busters has them beat in that department.

And so you guys know, Gametrailers TV had the exclusive, not the website. The website posts it a little after, and gamevideos had it up at 26 minutes ago (but gamevideos is a dark and evil place).

I want a Ghost Busters outfit like the guy on Gametrailers TV. Freakin' sweet.
