Bright-eyed and excited as usual, Cliff Bleszinski discussed everything from the storyline, themes, characters, and gameplay mechanics of Gears of War 2 in this new interview from Gametrailers.com.
First Bleszinski explains that the Locust have returned, and are back with a vengeance, so you’ll be up against similar foes as in the last installment. He then explains that the game is going to focus on a theme of “intimate violence,” which will play into the more central role of the chainsaw. For one there are now Chainsaw duels, which “are a simple b-button mash.” There are also more weapon-specific executions.
Perhaps the best news concerns the multiplayer: Gears 2 will ship with more maps than the original, will have more multiplayer modes, and can accommodate five vs five battles.
Overall, Bleszinski wanted to hammer home the messages that Gears 2 will be “bigger and more badass,” will have a deeper storyline, and will feature “buckets and buckets of blood.”
You’ll be able to chainsaw enemies “from their taint to their throat” on November 30th.
