Gears of War 2 Plot Revealed!

Hi I'm here at GDC 2008 where a select few journalists were allowed a viewing of the Gears of War 2 storyline video. It was basically a run through of the plot and then a walk through of level one. I tried to take some photos with my cell phone but it was difficult. Here is a run down of the Q&A I had with Cliffy B.



Q: So, Cliffy. Gears of War 2. It's coming.
A: That's what she said.

Q: What?
A: She said..it's..coming. (Laughs)

Q: Oh..right. Well then what kind of new graphical features can we see.
A: Not much. Water, destruction. Same engine, same character models. The one multiplayer map is just Gridlock but flipped in reverse.

Q: Wouldn't it be the same thing since the maps are symmetrical?
A: Oh shit..your right.

My interview was sadly cut short by those ignorant IGN assholes who wanted some Cliffy. Anyway the plot is as follows (straight from Cliffy's mouth):

"Gears of War 2 will have a completely new storyline. You will start off as Carmine five minutes before your untimely death. After dying, you go to heaven where you find Jesus is being attacked by the Locust horde. As Carmine, you must save Jesus from the Locust in heaven. Along the way you will co-op with Moses and many more. We plan on having 4 player co-op with Moses, Mary, and even Jesus himself. Here is level one."

Cliffy then loaded up the 1st level of the game. It began with Carmine trying to load a gun. You must do a mini game and help Carmine load the gun. The puzzle took over 30 minutes and reflected on Carmines stupidity. Then he got shot and went to heaven. Then he shot Locust who were shooting Jesus. That's the rundown. Anyway I hope you like the photos I took. It was tough work snapping those things.
