Looks great even from that low quality video. GOW doesn't use FMV or CGI so thats in game rendered ala MGS4. They say it will be shown in theaters and on TV. Its up on the marketplace for gold members.
Oh man, that song. Soon as you hear that song you know someone is in a hopeless situation and they are going to die.
Great trailer. Though the "Jump In" tagline at the end seems horribly out of place given the content of the trailer :p

Here's a better HD version (http://xboxmovies.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/3819/Gears-of-War-Teaser-Trailer/). I did notice the game still has Rasterization problems, it can bee seen on all the character faces (Marcus' neck has a ton going on in the trailer). I figured it'd be gone before the game went gold, oh well, it's not that noticeable unless you search for it. Still, gotta give credit where it's due, GoW looks phenominal, I can't wait for E-Day.

MS is really going all out for this one. I'd like to see this on a huge movie screen hopefully I get the chance.

Big screen, yes.
360, not yet.:o
I think I watched that way too many times. That song is great. It played at the end of Donnie Darko and I damn near cried. The contrast between it and whats going on is what really gives that video life even without sound affects. That disbelief look on his face was a nice touch.
I wonder how many people play that song right before blowing out there brains. It brings out sadness.:(

So did I. I cried that I wasted $5 on that trash. But that's OT.
Great commercial, though. Looks damn nice in 720p. :D
I downloaded this trailer off the marketplace and it's awesome on the big screen (42") in high def. Emergence day can't come fast enough!!!

Great quality on that one but the video seems to have skip / pausing issues.
Awesome trailer either way , Gotta love that Mad World track.
The look on his face at the end is priceless lol.

wow, if that is in-game (and at this point it has to be) that is just phenomenal. Crysis just got it's ass handed.

Not sure i'd go that far, just yet.
But not long now, booking two days off either side of the weekend just for this game heh
That tune , Mad World, fits the game perfectly.

That is real-time, there is no CG in Gow.

well real time is different from in-game. It's getting ridiculous, but you actually have to make that distinction these days.

Well yes, as taken from Epic forums "Ad made entirely with in game engine". They didn't invest $1 billion into GoW for no reason :thumbsup:

You dont notice the pausing? You can see it easily at the beginning as the camera pans down, it even does it if I download the file to my HDD (both wmv & quicktime versions) The .wmv I uploaded above runs fine tho, got it from Gamespot.

They couldn't have "literally", they'd never break even would they. LOL

It is not ingame, but it is inengine with high quality assests.
And yes the video does look rather impressive, its nice to see what UE3 is capable of.

No, MS did. MS originally wanted 256MB of memory, Epic showed them GoW on 256 and the next day the final specs changed to 512MB. Microsoft's Chief Financial Officer called Epic and said: "You guys just costed me $1 billion", and Epic's Mark Rein responded with: "No, we just did 1 billion gamers a favor".
