For those who do not have a 360 yet, smile :) ,you can watch the movie in full screen after downloading it through bit torrent, or stream it at half the size i think! Smaller size resolution files are also available.

The game movie itself is nothing short of beautiful, which is an understatement!
have fun


The first 10 minutes: Gears of War

http://www.xboxyde.com/news_3778_en.html

"Gears of War is finally here, at least for the lucky few who got it in advance or will find it today in the US. And it doesn't disappoint, at all. And for an exceptional game, an exceptional coverage, with nothing less than 3 long videos in great quality, ready to stream from your PC to your 360. The first one if our usual "first 10 minutes", but the next 2 are montage from a few nice sequences from the 90 first minutes of the game. The first montage shows some gameplay and almost nothing about the story, but the second one contains some spoilers. Nothing really important as the story isn't really Gears' strongest point, but you can't say you haven't been warned!

It's worth noting that the 720p videos have been encoded with the VC1/WMV9 Advanced Profile codec, as will be more videos in the future here. They work natively with the 360, but require to install either Windows Media Player 11 or at least the codec itself you'll find on the video download page. Mac and other alternative OS users will have to use a nightly build of VLC, mplayer or any other ffmpeg based media player.

The complete review of the game will be in the next Gamersyde Diaries, hopefully available this week-end.

But I can already say that Gears of War is one of these games that we will still talk about in a few years, as a graphical and technical marvel first, but also because the gameplay is simply excellent with lots of small but so clever little touches.

Gears of War is simply a game that everyone besides the most zealous hater of the genre should have in their collection."

Looks like a modern CoD style game, tight scripted pathways with story driven campaign. AI doesn't seem like much, at least compared to Farcry. AI is also pocketed in "play" areas, also meh. Maybe this is a big deal for Xbox owners but seems a bit average as PC titles go.

First its no where a COD style , second its not a FPS but a thrid person shooter/Platformer hybrid. Also its the best looking game out on any platform and is no where like far cry. ALso you sound like a anti-console ignorant pc user. Your statment would apply to game like resistance fall of man not Gears of War. You should know what your talking about before you look like an ass.

If that is any indication of what UT 2007 will look like during game-play ... man, I am speechless.

WHEN is UT 2007 supposed to be released already ?! The wait is a TORTURE I say.

Either the controls are way to tight in that or that person can't aim, either way it totally looks like it would be better with a mouse + KB.

ITS NOT A FPS :( also controls wouldn't work well with Mouse and keyboard because this game revolves on taking cover and poping up and shooting. Also it takes 1hr to get use to game since everyone is so use to run and gun. In this game you can't do that because you do die very quickly. Cliffy B wanted this because in a real war you really down run arround shooting people. You take cover and shoot them and move on to next cover. Also the game has the best reload system which is active reload. If it was a FPS i would agree with your keyboard and mouse comment.

UT 2007 will look much better but the same game designer is working on UT2007. UT2007 will run more smoother , run at higher Res and AA will fix the rough edges. Cliffy B is pretty awesome game designer ;).

oh sorry I had no idea. It "looked" like one. In that case your right KB + Mouse might not be the best.

Ya, great argument there.

He is just pointing out certain aspects of CoD that it seems similar to, not the whole game in itself, like a person up above seems to think.

Also looks like the concept of all this cover could get very old. Although this is all pure speculation.

Graphics seem great. I wouldnt call them the best out on any console, but there nothing to laugh at.

A friend of mine just got this game too. Co-op mode is very fun =] But I havent seen any really explosive moments yet. Fun game, but it won't be able to put down MGS4 and PS3 :D

Never saw what was so good about MGS, played it on PS2 and got bored after 3 minutes.
