I think I bought this game for my 14th bday when it came out. It was fun but short. There's a cut scene in this game that stands as one of the best fight scenes I have ever seen.
LOL I have both systems and to those who hate on Gears most have never REALLY played it (maybe a store demo). For most Ps3 only owners who criticize Gears it's the best game you never had! After Kill.Switch no one had the balls to pull off an EPIC 3rd person shooter. Not one that mattered at least. Oh I must say can't wait for Uncharted 3 for ps3! This fall is gonna be GREAT!
Well now I wish I'd played this over GOW, its nice having a cover based shooter where the main character doesn't throw his back full force into the wall (somethings gonna break, either the wall, his armour THAT DOES NOTHING, or his back). Did this have a story that made sense? The one big thing that really annoyed me about the GOW series was that the story made no sense. I'll admit that I liked 2 better than 1 even though that threw in a really stupid nugget of information.
@MomentofGaming Several shooters took inspiration from Kill Switch and implemented similar cover systems. In the design of Gears of War, lead developer Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games credits Kill Switch's cover system as one of the influences they put into the game's design as Kill Switch's lead designer was employed by Epic Games and was involved in the development of Gears of War -Wikipedia
ummm i wanna ask some thing this pc ver WHY THE HELL ITS NOT WORKING when i open the game my screen apper and say Out of range 241hertz can you help me i got nvidia Gefours 9500Gt and 1.5Gb or ram
WinBack didn't do it first either, but its cover mechanic was inspired by Time Crisis, a lightgun FPS series developed by Namco, the same company that created Kill Switch. The cover system in Time Crisis itself was borrowed from Rolling Thunder, an old 2D run & gun shooter series also developed by Namco. Kill Switch was like a successor to Rolling Thunder and Time Crisis, and perfected their cover mechanics. Namco can thus righfully be credited as the inventor of the cover system.
certainly Gears didn't invented cover system, just take a look at game's manual. Gears invented an intuitive cover system which allows player to cover in any surface in the environment (and not only walls or pre-set barricades), jump over the cover, aiming though.
So Gears merits are to make a friendly system to include shooting into almost every TPS game ,for no talking about Unreal Engine
Gears didn't invent anything. However, you could argue that it improved the cover system, although the differences between the cover systems of Kill Switch and Gears are very minor.
@hodenkrampf3 Don't even think about hating on Battlefield, Battlefield 1942 had been around a year and half before this game was even released, teh only reason everyone hates on it now is because it's gone more mainstream since moving to console.
I miss playin dis game...damn...and wats with the "'so-and-so' copied 'so-and-so'" u know it was a kool ass idea that would make the game more awesome so developers thot that the cover system was a good idea and decided that they would lik it in their game. don't mean that they copied so quit ya bitchin...dumbasses
So apparently every game that has a cover system is a Gears Of War knockoff or Gears Of War copied it... So I guess Vegas 2, Dead to Rights, Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid, and fucking Manhunt are all Gears Of War ripoffs because your can press your characters back against a fucking wall... Dumbasses
I'm am a 360 fan boy. but u are correct. i had this game and i say it deserved way more credit than it got back in the days ... i love GOW but its game play is not the first of its kind as clearly proven here. the game play in kill switch to me was the game that enhanced the take-cover-shoot system which was later modifeid by EPIC GAMES. perhaps critics gave this game due to poor story telling. either way i did enjoy playing it.
I love how when hack and slash games come out everyone says thats just a god of war rip off but no one ever says ohh this game is a killswitch rip off when it pretty much mainstreamed the if you dont hide behind cover your dead shit.
I remember this game. It was fun, I got mad at how short it was. the repetitiveness of it wasn't even apparent then, I just enjoyed a more "real" game vs. run-and-gun.
They didn't even improve it; it's the same as this game; GeOW2 had improvements, but they copied Uncharted's fighting and shooting in the form of their "executions".
No actually multimillion in sales, 9.4 average metacritic score, and countless of games knocking off the gears gameplay make it a good game. How about you gtfo idiot. You must own a wii and think Wii sports resort is the coolest thing around.
I'm seeing alot of Sony fanboys here especially the idiot who says Killzone is better than Gears. Well Gears first month's sales say high to Killzone's measly 2 mil lifetime sales.
Do you realize how stupid you are? Here is the long list of cover elements in gears not in this game : Swat turning, Sliding into cover, over the shoulder aiming while in cover, blind firing, climbing over cover. The only thing Gears could have borrowed from this lame game was cover itself which is a concept used in war for ages.
anyways i already knoe all what the game is about i got this one on the first xbox i find it kind of more manual than other tps for covers and otehr stufff,BUT I THINK hes a special agent from the army so taht must be why he works alone
idk what your sayig right now explain better,are u telling em it the satge is non-existant on ps2 or what cuz that would be like a missing part f the story in thee game
Hell yeah my type of game mindless shooting! jump to minute 2:13 and try doing that with any new shooter see what happens! lol
