A new twist on the beat down execution.

[DizzyRules]

I was thinking about how much fun the beat down is. Most of us enjoy the beta version better, but we are happy with retail either way. Why is the beta version better for us? It's violent and barbaric and that's what we love to see in Gears. The Unreal Engine displays gory violence in a great and amazing fashion. I was thinking, if they keep the beat down execution, to change it slightly.

Instead of ripping the guys arm off, you straddle the person as normal, grab their head in your hands and proceed to smack it into the ground. All the while their blood is splashing on your screen. On the last smack to the ground their head just explodes. Just a fun idea I was thinking might be cool to see.

What do you guys think?

[Gear-Star]

Seems awesome, I want to see a change in the dismemberment system in GOWJ. Gears 3 gore system felt so unsatisfying.

[Jetta]

i like it. its new and uniqe

[Dead Cell Raam]

Sounds cool, but how about this for a smack down. Think curb stomp with 2kicks to the ribs and a curb stomp at the end.short...sweet and dramatic.

[Devious Sektor]

I'm thinking of an execution between curb stomp and face punch but you stomp on their head until it explodes.

I was actually going to suggest that, but since curb stomps already take a head off in one blow, that would be a step back. I like it though.

It would be cool if there were a couple different types of executions for weapons or beat downs and you could choose which one to do. Maybe tap "Y" for one and hold "Y" for the other. Like the way they do tap for curb stomp and hold for beat down. Must be possible...

[Dead Cell Raam]

You know it! I'd really want the B button golf swing back. So convienant and so devilishly awesome. You know? "You need a trim up top!" *smack!! Goes about business.

It because i have been watching horror movies since i was 4.

Yeah. See that makes me think even further. Let's say you could do 2 types of executions with each weapon. Tapping would be quick, like the golf swing gnasher you mentioned and holding would have a longer more extravagant execution. Just shooting out some fun ideas.

Horror movies are the best.

I like the face-punch execution as it is, the arm-rip should randomly cycle between the fast version (Beta) and slower version (Retail)

I love the arm rip execution. It's just that with a new game I'd like to see something new. I'd rather not have the exact same things, just similar and related executions with slight tweaks to make them appear new and interesting.

[Devious Sektor]

I'm still waiting for this to be an execution. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzr6Ch24mvU&feature=relmfu)

Yeah, like the Mulcher could go into someones chest then they fire it (like I do when defeating Grinders in Horde ;))

This one I don't know about. I want fun gory barbaric executions, not kooky, odd ones.

guts and gore, wonderful idea.

...and it splashes all over the screen ;)

Love the blood splashing. Just makes the kill that much more gratifying.

[Dead Cell Raam]

Classic scene. :-) But I still like the alley scene where his arms are stretched and he's grinding his claws as he stalks forward. Heh heh. A moonwalk execution.....*sighs. Go play that old Neo Geo Micheal Jackson game and get your thriller on.

The hammerburst had a lame execution. They could of atleast did a headshot type execution with it. Or the old melee overhead hammer but I guess it would of been too much like the longshot execution.

[DizzyRules]

I'd like more people to check this out and tell me what they think.

[ValeraPitiesDaFool]

I'd like for the Females to slap the enemy instead of punching.

Then she smashes her head into the enemies'. :P

That would be neat. So many people would rage after being *****slapped

[GearsCat]

How about throwing people off roofs..

[l CrUsHeR l Xx]

I was thinking a strangle execution would be even cooler. You would lift them up by the throat and be able to either carry them to any wall and beat them up on it or just strangle them up in the air and drop them with a nice rag doll effect when dropped.

[Dnosaur6429]

Bloody,gorey,funny and humilates the player in an awesome way...EPIC DO THIS!!!!

[Big Water]

Slightly off topic.

I thought the snub deserved an execution itself. I like the idea of something similar to the "Miranda Rights" move Barry did in RE5's Mercenaries Reunion. Maybe kick them, they flip over, you stomp on their chest then pop their head with a shot. It's simple but just enough to be degrading.

I'm liking what I'm hearing so far. These ideas would be quite nice.

[BlueDodger]

How about dead space 2 curbstomps? Where you kick down once every second?

And I thought it would be cool if in Overrun Locust creatures could have their own executions :)

Wretch, jumps on your back and rips your back to shreds

Kantus, does what looks like the face-punch execution, but proceeds to rip the persons face off :)

Mauler, good old fashioned curb-stomp (but slower and on the players back, snaping the spine)

Bloodmount, eat their face :p

Serapede, like the scorcher execution but with electricution

Corpser, drag the player underground, then emerge in a splash of blood

[Big Water]

How about a roadie run execution? Where you grab them and drag them face first against the ground leaving a trail of blood and skull fragments. It could be triggered similar to the beat down, maybe initiated by holding A near a downed opponent and rapid presses of the A could increase the ferocity of it. You would move slower to avoid it being abused and there could be a slight recovery/vulnerability time to avoid overuse as a means to get across the map and execute someone at the same time.

Another thought. They finish it with an abrupt stop and slam their victims head into the ground.

You had me at roadie run execution :-)

It just came to me. I think it would be magical. XD

So something like this?

[DEADMAN7978]

1- Press and hold what ever extended execution is now mapped to
2- Camera swaps to first person perspective w/a close up of the enemy face
3- Insert both your thumbs into his eye sockets
4- "insert blood murder scream from bad guy here" add him clawing at your armor there
5- proceed to cave the back of his head in on the cobblestone

.... giggle a little

This would be pretty cool. Intense and gory.

[DEADMAN7978]

Thanks. I'd like to see them take executions to the next level with camera/perspective changes. Give the player tunnel vision, while your exacting personal retribution. It's not like you'd be able to focus on anything else while doing so. Gnasher Club swing for example... Blur the edges of the screen and make the user watch the stock connect with the downed enemy's skull, then have it shift rapidly to follow a brain chunk that splatters then slides down a column. I wanna see that kinda, wow... that felt good.

[Kawmik]

A two person beat down execution would be sick

[DizzyRules]

That sounds interesting, how would it work?

[Louix BlenkTron]

That sounds interesting, how would it work?

The Eiffel tower spit roast! Hi-5 over the downed character, while chainsawing from either end.

OR

A leg and a wing to see the king... Pulling the downed player from each end by2 players and a third player cutting them in half at the stomach area with a chainsaw or cleaver.

[NP473L]

Good idea, but I still prefer seeker's idea of Cole screaming 'Whooo!' so loudly that the downed enemy's head explodes. ;)
