New Gear Of War 2 Screenshot Looks Amazing

"Epic has released another screenshot for there upcoming game Gears of War 2, the screenshot first appeared in this months issue of GameInformer. Gears of War 2 will take place six months after the detonation of the Lightmass Bomb at the end of the first game, Gears of War. Gears 2 is a third-person shooter video game exclusively for Microsoft’s Xbox 360."

This looks very nice but it looks like something similiar to the first one Epic posted a few weeks earlier. Hmm, nonetheless, I hope this is the start of the hype-marketing machine to energize gamers into buying Gears of War 2 when it comes out later this November (if it's on time).

Mike Capps Says Epic Games Won't Ever Make A Game For The Wii "We Go Forward, Not Back"

"Epic Games’ president, Mike Capps, reiterated what Epic has previously said in an interview with IGN, stating that Epic won’t ever be developing games for the Wii. It’s not about the success of the platform to him, but what can be done on it. When asked whether there would ever be a time when Epic would be forced to give in and create a game for the Wii, Capps said, “no, we go forward, not back. It makes more sense for us to invest in the next-generation tech.”

As for why he believes the Wii has become so popular, he says it’s like a virus that just keeps spreading:

It’s a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they’re like, “Oh my God that’s so cool, I’m gonna go buy it.”"

Maybe what Mike meant to say is that the Wii wasn't designed for high-graphics, high-tech gaming, or at the least not designed to play Gears of War 2 and any future upgrade of that engine.

Mike does sound like a condescending asshole the way he says his opinion. For his sake, he better hope he doesn't have to really make a game for the Wii. Personally, I'm unsure as to the wisdom of Mr. Mike Capps. Only time will tell.
