New Gears 2 footage from GameStop tourny

by Richard Mitchell { Jul 24th 2008 at 1:15PM }

Don't ask how -- because we don't know -- but Joystiq managed to snag the video that will kick off the GameStop Gears of War 2 tournament this Friday. In the video, Epic's Cliff Bleszinski tells GOW fanboys what they can expect from the new game. We also get some nice footage featuring new Locust enemies. Enough talk though, time to watch. Find the video after the break.

Nothing really new there, not if you've been gobbling up all the other video leaks. Still, it's always good to see cliffy in all his lisp-ing glory.

I'll probably hit up the tourney at my local gamestop depending on what the prize support is.

I work at gamestop and the prize is a 1200 xbl points card + a t-shirt

5 bucks that hundreds of managers and workers will jack copies of the early build an leak it to teh internetz.

I jacked Halo 2 when it came in a week early. I had the game utterly defeated by the time people were picking it up.

Never leaked it though and never went online with it ... because I'm not a mongoloid. But yeah, they are TOTALLY gonna yoink this game early, in fact I bet it gets leaked on the internet before it ever gets to a Gamestop store.

Is anyone else going into Media blackout for Gears 2? I'm done with all these videos and previews. I'm not complaining about anything, just wondering if anyone else is trying to save some of the cool surprises for when they play the game?

I understand where urcoming from in wanting to be surprised and find for your self but i really want to see what they have to offer and what to expect before i spend $60 - $70. Yes, i kow this game is going to be freaken awesome but isnt that what they said about Halo 2? Im aware that Halo 2 had its problems before shipping and being completed but that doesnt mean it should have been rushed out the door. im sure we wont have to worry about that i hope. either way, im already hooked and i'll get my copy in Nov.

Wasnt it leaked or annonced that it'll come out on the 9th?

I was just thinking how I would like to see this vid since I won't be able to go to the tourney, and lo and behold, someone comes through. WOO!

did anyone else notice at 39 seconds where it shows a boomer on the original version of gridlock, is that like the new "horde" mode that is supposed to be shipping with gears 2, if so, it doesn't look like it, especially because its on the first gridlock
