Someones going to get killed within the first hour of the game.

While reading the new impressions on Gamespot I came across an interesting quote.

"You'll be fighting alongside a few squadmates of your own in this portion of the game, but because you're not the squad leader, you won't be able to give them any orders and will occasionally be required to do what you're told."

This is the second time Ive heard that you'll have squad mates but wont be able to give them orders. Im thinking at some point early in the game someone in charge maybe an officer dies in a locust attack. It could be this guy that was also mentioned in the preview

"Their destination was a place called Embry Square, where they were to meet with a general named Hoffman, who has a real grudge against you."

Just something I picked up on. There is one more that I noticed in the new screenshots. In one of them it shows the text in the subtitles. You can see the size of the text is extremely small. After playing DeadRising with its fine print subtitles I really hope the text in GOW looks larger on my TV. This has me worried.

[elite94]

this is a good assumption, and if you have the sound turned up, i dont think text will be a problem. but yeah hope the text is bigger.

Maybe that's the guy on the right in that screen shot with the text, "I'm not doing this for you?" Marcus looks pissed there and it'd be amazing to see him rip his ass with the chainsaw, haha.

[elite94]

yes it is, and we have seen him before that screen shot, watch that one interview with that lady interviewing cliffy and he is wearing that "delicious" shirt with the guy eating the record. look at some of the gears stuff they show, they show a guy with a hat

geez dud i thought u meant like someone in real life is gonna get killed, i was a scared.. this was my face.....

[lharvest]

Of course someone is going to die...a bunch of Locusts. Unless you absolutely suck at the game, in which case it will be Marcus who dies.

[soda]

i don't think anyone will die but you just got out of jail so your not excatly going to be Commander straight away. you'll probably get promoted or dom will let you take the lead

Small Text>Next Generation

Yes, this is true. Because we have such good graphics do you wnat people to spend years, possibly decades, making subtitles and have bad grahics? Imagine Pac-man with wavy subtitles. Lol jk.

[M005E]

fiber, i love you

[FiberFlakes]

Um, yeah, um. Can I please just be in my jail cell alone M005E. Umm...please keep you distance...GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!! Looool

[Ein Stein]

Statistically, someone will die in real life the first hour everyone plays the game. I blame Grand Theft Auto.

..I really hope the text in GOW looks larger on my TV.

We have been testing GOW quite a lot on small, non-HD TVs to make sure you can read the writing. So hopefully we won't suffer that problem!

[VaporXX91]

we are in the era of high-def gaming...most of the texts on standard TVs are unreadable. in high-def though, it's clear and crisp.

i dunno why devs make text so small just to make it look pretty in high def. dont they realize not everyone has a high def tv.

Exactly.
I realize that we're moving towards the HD era, but the change can't happen in a heartbeat.
At this point in time, an HDTV costs an assload of cash - and a lot of people can't afford it.

Oh man thats great to hear. This whole small text thing started with Dead Rising and hopefully will end with Dead Rising. Im assuming developers are making it smaller so that the visuals stand out and wont have to share alot of real estate with the subtitles. Either way I hope other developers have learned from Capcoms mistake and make sure everybody can actually read what people are saying. To bad Lost Planet will suffer the same fate.

[BAD ELEMENTS]

All you have to do is change the settings from widescreen to normal picture and the text should look bigger or vice versa.

You don't know how awesome this makes me feel, knowing that I'll be able to read the text, unlike a couple Dead Rising sessions!

Can't wait to get my Limited Edition on the 12th of November... Gears for life!

[glitch]

I play on a 28 inch philips magnavox! So i'm happy to hear you are thinking of me!

[Urbani666]
