We go forwards, not back

I thought this was hilarious. Garkaz found it and showed me it over MSN.


(relevant because it's Epic)

I don't get it. Just seems like another Wii speculation to me.

re: We go forwards, not back

Is Wii really a step backwards for the console generation? Maybe Epic's gameply coulnd't stand up without their graphics to support it.

re: We go forwards, not back

Yeah, as if Gears' gameplay fails in comparison to any other game of its kind or any other kind for that matter.

Don't be idiotic. The one thing universally said about Gears when it was released was that it borrowed (ie, "stole") ideas from several sources. The cover system was ripped off of "kill.switch" and "Project Winback", the camera stolen from Resident Evil 4, the reload meter stolen from every golf game in existence, the aim mode stolen from RE4, yet the thing they all said was that even though everything was borrowed from other games, Gears refined the best parts of them into a cohesive whole.

For example, "kill.switch" had blind firing, cover, rolls, etc, the thing that makes Gears, Gears. Yet, it sucked. It was entirely too easy, the story was ridiculous, the sound was god awful, the controls stiff and unresponsive and the graphics looked almost as bad as a PS1 game, even though it was on PS2/Xbox/PC. Yet, Gears comes along and perfects the system put forth in kill.switch into something that actually works.

Sure, it's got great graphics to boot, but even had Gears been released on the PS2, it would have still been a mega-hit due to how awesome the game controls and is paced.

re: We go forwards, not back

Don't get me wrong here I'm a big Gears fan, but the only thing that gears really has goin for it is the multiplayer. also I wasn't pointing my finger directly at Gears anyway lets talk about how great Unreal Tournament is.

re: We go forwards, not back

The Wii is so pathetic in terms of power and childish bullshit. No amount of gimmicky devices will make up for its faults.

And saying "All Gears has is multiplayer" is like saying "All Half-Life has is unrivalled gameplay mechanics" or "All Metal Gear has is amazing stealth". It's something that's helped define its genre and has nearly perfected the experience.

Plus, Gears has a very addictive campaign.
