If you can overlook the generic nü-rock soundtrack, 1up’s recent look at Gears of War 2 should excite whatever parts of your brain still admire ultraviolence and arterial spray.
Not only does the clip show off a metric ton of gameplay from the upcoming sequel, it also gives former EGM editorial director Dan Hsu a chance to grill Gears‘ lead designer Cliff Bleszinski on the alterations made to the second edition of the franchise.
Shockingly, Bleszinski momentarily drops his trademark veil of smug contentment to admit flaws with the multiplayer matchmaking system in the original Gears — though unsurprisingly, he immediately follows that revelation with a promise that Gears 2 will amend any issues the first game may have had.
