Along again is Horde mode – here branded Horde 2.0 – which will allow the player not only to slaughter wave upon wave of nasty Locust enemies with machine guns and grenades, but also fry them in electric fences and tear them up with sentry turrets.
For the first time though, you and three of your mates can play through the storyline together, which is pretty ace given the multiplayer popularity of the first two titles. GoW3 is to feature a significant single player campaign (played third-person, over the shoulder), hopefully filling all of the plot holes left in the wake of GoW2.
PIXEL 3 DEUS EX MANKIND DIVIDED MOVIE
Several novels based on the GoW world have been written, as well as graphic novels, and there’s a movie on the drawing board (although, just like the proposed BioShock movie, whether it ever sees the light of day or not is another matter). But by the end of the second game, the player was facing a rather less simple scenario: just who was the aggressor here? Us, or them? And with the Locust fighting a civil war of their own, just as the human side had (the Pendulum Wars… keeping up? Don’t worry, the story doesn’t stand in the way of the trigger-finger thrills), the lines between good and evil had rather blurred.
It is the climax to a story that began as just another grunts-with-guns adventure, man against beasties – in this case, the Locust, a race of humanoids (well, some of them are humanoid some scuttle around like insects and explode…) indigenous to the planet Sera, settled on by humanity in… oooh, I dunno. GoW3 has received over a million pre-orders. But just around the corner is a Rather Big Deal Indeed (and I’m sorry, PlayStation owners, but it is): Gears of War 3, exclusive to Xbox 360, released on September 20.
PIXEL 3 DEUS EX MANKIND DIVIDED SERIES
Batman: Arkham City finally arrives on October 21, on multiple platforms PlayStation 3 exclusive Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception – the latest in an award-winning series of Indiana Jones-like explore-em-ups – lands in November and there’s the small matter of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which is sure to soak up gaming time like the swords-and-spells masterpiece that was its predecessor, Oblivion (albeit hopefully with slightly less-wooden facial animation). But more on that title, later.īetween now and Christmas a veritable buffet of mouth-watering games are hitting the market. Besides, August was a quiet month indeed, even for the hardcore gamer – until the release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, anyway. Not a great deal of gaming up in those hills.
