Zombie67's 2010 E3 XBOX360 Report

[zombie67]

Next up was another game I am sure most of us is waiting for:

Gears of War 3

Cliff B demoed a 4-player co-op mission with 3 others and it was packed with the usual OTT GOW action. New to the game were Female Gears and Mutating Lambent enemies.

The demo opened with the Gears needing to get a to a fort and to srtart the section a cut scene showed a locust ripping off a Gear's arm and beating him to death "with the wet end".

As the Gears moved forward killing locust at one stage Marcus grabbed a downed locust as a shield but instead on just breaking his neck, him seemed to plant an explosive and push him towards the other locust before he exploded - very cool.

At the end, Cliff B announced that they would be demoing a new game mode called Beast at their booth.

Next up came the Mutating Lambents, which as they emerge from the tentacles coming out of the ground, they suddenly sprout tentacles and other things themselves. The players seemed to be focusing on taking out each tentacle etc. a bit like Dead Space. One of the Lambents was spewing forth spider like creatures to attack the Gears.

Finally, came a Lambent Berserker boss battle which though seemed to be ended when the Gears made it inside the fort, seemed to continue as the Berserker jumped over the wall but that was where the Demo ended.
