Cliffy B just announced it at Microsoft's GDC Press Conference. Shouldn't be too long until images, videos, and details are readily available.

Yay

I recently put in Gears over the weekend and the graphics still wow me. Looking forward to what Epic has in store.

Shouldn't the thread title be:

The hype for Gears of War 2: Are you in?

ill most likely be getting it, unless in some wierd twist of fate it sucks really bad

Free theme, gamer pics, and teaser video are up on the Market Place.

I'll be getting it for sure. Hopefully its 4 player co-op and not just 2.

Holeeeeeeeee shiiiiiiit.

Can't wait.

So is this what was behind the infamous shroud? Or was it something else?

Great, just what I wanted. One Hundred Locusts on the screen at the same time.......

Destructible environments

The first GoW was the game that made me jump to the new generation of consoles (after promising that I was done with videogames forever). Can't wait.

What kind of hardware will I need to run this at 1680x1050, 60fps on a pc?

The XNA stuff was.

That's it? The joystiq poll got it right.

I'm really excited about this game. I played hundreds of hours of GoW1.

wow, the unreal 3 engine is even more amazing now
