Video: Gears 2 actually has a story, it really does!
The third Gears of War 2 video featurette has made its way to the internets and this time around, we get the inside scoop on the campaign's storyline.
The video, currently only available via Nuts.co.uk and embedded after the break, features Cliff and the Epic crew chatting about the Gears 2 storyline including the relationship between Dom and his wife Maria and gives us a look into the team's mindset when creating new characters to join the COG crew. Best part of the latest featurette occurs at around the 4:20 mark, when the Predator looking Skorge Locust makes a cameo. Total badass'ery!

XDDDDDD I'm sorry but whenever a character has an obsession over a girl called Maria I just can't take it seriously. Darn you Shadow, DARN YOU!
krusty @ Sep 23rd 2008 3:44PM
yep, the best parts of anything occur at around the 4:20 mark

Yeah brougham I know what you mean.
*reaches for Doritos*

Yep! 4:20 is by far the best part of the day, 4/20 is the best day of the year, and 420 is my favorite thing to 'enjoy' after a long day!
Oh ya, and the video's good too ;-)
Boff @ Sep 24th 2008 9:27AM
Too right. It's always 4:20 in my house....
Or at least always 420 time!
DarkNightRJ @ Sep 23rd 2008 4:05PM
thanks for the tip krusty. I just want some game footage. no interviews. lol
Glenn @ Sep 23rd 2008 4:11PM
Totally badass!!
bigjrussell @ Sep 23rd 2008 4:12PM
At about the 2:38 mark: "Let's go find Carmine....". Have I missed how they are trying to bring him back?
Jambi_Bum @ Sep 23rd 2008 4:15PM
They are talking about his brother, Benjamin. He joins Delta squad and apparently he gets lost or something. Anthony is really dead. Really.
LongshotX @ Sep 23rd 2008 4:19PM
I think Carmine had a brother.
The Aggie CEO @ Sep 23rd 2008 4:21PM
that makes it that much better......
damn I cant wait........
bigjrussell @ Sep 23rd 2008 4:39PM
Thanks for the clarity. Bringing back bullet-to-the-head-boy would have been a really stupid decision. I searched for "carmine coming back" in the mighty Googles and got all the ridiculous speculation. Adding "Benjamin Carmine" did the trick.

@bigjrussell
Carmine has a brother and he will be in Gears 2.
Bobluling @ Sep 23rd 2008 4:40PM
Oop sorry, question already answered.

Tai kaliso is such a fantastic character and the voice work for him is top notch, I hope he gets a lot of screen time, I know I'll be playing as him in multiplayer : ).

Will the story make me cry though? http://xbox.joystiq.com/2008/05/21/gears-of-wars-2s-storyline-said-to-rival-bioshocks/2#comments

Any spoilers in this video before I watch it?
MC Double Def DP @ Sep 23rd 2008 6:24PM
minor spoilers are in there but there wasn't anything where I went, "OH MAN! I wish I didn't see that, now it's ruined"
john paul @ Sep 23rd 2008 6:31PM
Nothing you probably won't know by the 2nd hour into the game (maybe less).
IVIattyB @ Sep 23rd 2008 6:42PM
Does that guy get shot in the head right after he says "Everything happens for a reason." ?
around 3:46
Philifan8169 @ Sep 23rd 2008 8:11PM
tia gets shot in head 3:49
Anonymousaurus @ Sep 23rd 2008 10:29PM
Dizzy is officially my favorite new character. Hands down.
Andrew @ Sep 23rd 2008 11:03PM
the predator shows up at 420? good timing...
Dralthi @ Sep 24th 2008 11:28AM
Seriously! LOL!
That Locust with the dread locks is a total rip off of the Predator!
Price & Fury @ Sep 23rd 2008 11:31PM
I just don't understand the stupid racial point outs by CliffyB.
If you're asked to describe characteristics of the members of delta squad, it doesn't need to be tagged with their visible ethnicity or race, like "crazy white man". I double dare him to say "crazy black man".
Why state a character's visible race when you talk about their personalities? That's just so fucking lame and self-righteous hypocrite. The more I dig out about Cliff, the more I'm shocked.
Dralthi @ Sep 24th 2008 11:29AM
Why do I get the feeling that Dom's back story is going to totally ruin the machismo of this game.
He's getting way to Emo for me.
Maverick Saturn @ Sep 24th 2008 2:18PM
Doesn't have to be oscar worthy, just give me a reason for all the killing and violence, I hate illogical games unless they are puzzles which do not need stories because they have strategic elements :D
dylan @ Sep 24th 2008 5:07PM
Most homoerotic game ever. They need to make GOW : Extreme Beach Volleyball, and you can dress up your muscle men in thongs...
II Skorge II @ Sep 28th 2008 2:00PM
Changed my gamertag to skorge lol
Dennio @ Sep 29th 2008 12:57PM
I think that's just a transition into the next scene, where there is a chainsaw duel, and more proof of the skorge predator in multiplayer.
Solar @ Sep 29th 2008 11:25PM
I didn't really need religion creeping into Gears of War 2. I hope that is a minor character.
