The fans of GoW & Epic

**PoweR StriPe** · 05-24-2006, 01:45 AM

First off, I just want say and probably speak on behalf of the entire official Gears of War Forum that we really appreciate you delivering the most intense and awesome-brilliant game to shooter fans and/or videogame fans alike. I'm sure I speak for all of us here @ this forum.

It's awesome how Ron and even Cliffy B is peakin' in and just making this Emergence Day seem even more exciting and immersive.

This was the first game that said to me "this is why Xbox 360 is the best next-gen system". And seeing it's production and progress, I haven't been let down since.

I THAAAAAANK you for taking your sweet ol' time with this title, because I'm sure you all learned some cool things with the hardware and didn't rush us a half asked game. We know it's coming soon and again, THANK you all @ Epic & Cliffy that you're putting your blood, sweat and grime into this project that is Gears of War.

I haven't felt this excited over a videogame since...1996 when Super Mario 64 came out. It's that damn good!

Hopefully, as we the fans and as you the developers, join together in a community where Gears of War the game is the centerfold of our relationship...we both can make this the best experience Gears of War was made to be.

Keep this forum after it's release. Sort of feels cozy around here.

Awesome job guys. Cheers to the gamers here @ our forum.

Amen, brother.

I've never been this excited about a game since The Warriors and Unreal Champ. 2, before that, Double Dragon Advance, and before that, I was probably excited about Fighting Force 64, and I doubt I was excited about anything before that.

**NYTrigga101** · 05-24-2006, 01:59 AM

Last Time I felt this excited was, 6 hours ago >.<

I was going to EB getting Table Tennis and Reserving me a copy of Gears Of War, Rainbow Six: Vegas, and Splinter Cell Double Agent

**Zoso Fan** · 05-24-2006, 02:24 AM

Dido! We all feel the same way!

**chron1caust** · 05-24-2006, 06:43 AM

Ya this game will be so amazing that wen it comes out im gonna break down the door to get into my house so i can play it

**DYNAMO 79** · 05-24-2006, 10:01 AM

i think ill put locks on the inside of my bedroom door coz when this game comes out i wont be around for weeks

**UnrealWars** · 05-24-2006, 11:22 AM

I\'m going to be putting a massive amount of time into GoW. I put 40 hours on Oblivion in 5 days, Being as hyped i am about this game i say 40 hours in three days with this game. The last time i did that was with Starcraft.

**Uday23** · 05-24-2006, 11:40 AM

i totally agree, EPIC u guys rock!

**SiD** · 05-24-2006, 11:43 AM

Agreed guys. This game is going to be fantastic, and I hope that the forums stick around after Emergence Day. We need a place to voice or oppinions, and for the devs to hear them.... Cheers guys

Great thread......great post........wish I'd seen it before I posted my thread in the wrong forum.......

Hey guys,
A friend of mine from the 'Superherohype.com' forums, who happens to be working for Epic on 'G.O.W.', just told me about the new forum. I've been a member of the 'SHH' forums for about 5 years, and have been posting in their games forum for most of that time. Since I first saw the 'UE3' tech demo pics 2 years ago........and later finding out they were from early work on what we all now know to be the '360' exclusive 'GEARS OF WAR'........I've been eagerly anticipating this game more than anything in most of my 35 years. In fact, it was my primary reason for buying the '360' at launch. That's right.....I'm a 35 y.o., married, kid-at-heart gaming geek.

Anyway, I just wanted to take this opportunity to let everyone from 'Epic', Mark Rein, particularly Tim Sweeney, 'Cliffy B', 'artist71' (from 'SHH') and the rest of the 'G.O.W.' staff, know that this game is a dream come true for myself....and surely millions of gamers like me...and it's GREATLY appreciated. As frustrating as it's been to watch this game slip out of the '360' launch window, and into fall '06, it's been equally exhiliarating to watch this game take form over the past year, and anticipate it's eventual release and subsequent conquering of the gaming world.

Keep up the great work, and I'll see some of you on 'LIVE' shortly after 'Emergence Day'.

BTW........THANKS FOR NOT GIVING IN TO 'MS' ON THE CHAINSAW/BAYONETTE DEBATE!!!

But...don't you have a key?

**Monster w/21 Faces** · 05-24-2006, 01:02 PM

I hate Epic, they make crummy games and their big ol face is as dumb as a butt.

Yet despite that I've bought every Unreal game to date and I even bought Jazz Jackrabbit back in the day.

**JustinR** · 05-24-2006, 01:07 PM

This game is going to be awesome and I can't wait I'm heading to EB tonight and Im going to pre-order tonight if theyare taking them (our EB is slow).Is there a chance that one artbook that came out limited awhile ago will be available again? I know when big games get released you normally see alot of stuff like that?

**-=¤willhaven¤=-** · 05-24-2006, 01:08 PM

Some months back, while riding my bike on the trail around here, I saw a guy jogging with a Jazz Jackrabbit shirt. I thought he was surely an Epic guy, but as I rode by I realized it was just some random buy with a JJ shirt.

I've never played Jazz Jackrabbit myself.

The Destroyed Beauty art book was an E3 2005 press handout if I recall correctly. I don't believe it was ever for sale anywhere.

You'd also be shocked to learn that I never played Unreal 2 or the Unreal RTNP expansion.

I know, I'm a bad man.

No, no for that you are a good man. I wish I could erase those experiences from my memory. Rest in peace GRoberts. SHAMON!

Pffffft, and I always thought you were da man.

Epic has held my fascination with it's games for going on 9 years now. (wow, time flies) I am just SO impatient! (Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we...)

I'm more shocked you have a bike, to be honest.

**Yoshiro** · 05-24-2006, 05:20 PM

He needs a bike to get the bagels....

**Monster w/21 Faces** · 05-24-2006, 05:58 PM

Wills come a long way, anyone remember him during this period?

**seph** · 05-25-2006, 01:09 AM

I have never been a huge Unreal fan, but man, Gears of War is going to be so amazing. Thanks EPIC! It has been a long time since I was this excited by a video game.

**GearHeads** · 05-28-2006, 01:53 PM

Epic you are gonna take some many hours out of these kids lives its sad... When i think about it tho ill be right there with them playing some GoW!

**Zoso Fan** · 05-28-2006, 03:30 PM

Hopefully, the kids buy Gears so EPIC can get some $ and then their mothers wont like the gore and wont be able to take it back, that way EPIC wins and we win! (No halo 2 kids...)
