And I like how the only people who you'll hear trying to badmouth Gears of War are Sony or Nintendo fanboys. You know, the same people who are waiting around for Metal Gear Solid 4 and Zelda: Twilight Princess. What's my point? No, its not that any of these three games will be any less than excellent; all three are going to absolutely fucking rock. But do you honeslty think MGS4 or Twilight Princess are breaking any more ground than Gears of War? Fuck no. Zelda is absolutely incredible, but its still the same basic game its been since the SNES. And MGS4? I adore all the MGS games, MGS is one of my faovrite game series of all time, in fact, but don't even fool yourself for a second. MGS4 is gonna be the same basic thing the others were; tons and tons of cinemas, with some sneaking around in between. All three games will have some new and innovative features, however, none of them are going to break new ground. But who the fuck cares? I don't give a shit. All three of these games may run on some tried and true ideas, but why the fuck does that make them worse than something that is a fresh idea? Red Steel is a fresher idea than any of the three, gameplay-wise, but I'll bet it won't even be half as good as any of them. Innovation isn't the only factor in determining what will make a game great. Sometimes an updated and polished version of a tried and true formula can be infinitely better than a game that is new or different.
