Gears Of War 3 gameplay details leak
Edge reveals new cover system and underwater scenes



Bit disappointed about missing out on tonight's potential Gears Of War 3 reveal? Us too.

Just as well Edge is reporting a number of details about the title's gameplay, then.

A 'trusted US publishing source' has told the site that the developer's set to shake up the much praised - and imitated - Gears cover system.

New Locust enemies will reportedly have tentacle-like limbs which can reach out to player cover spots, while COGs will carry explosives that can travel beneath the surface to destroy enemy cover locations.

You can forget about pushing around burnt out cars too - mobile cover will come in the form of a hefty mech suit that offers not only protection but also the tools to dish out some carnage.

These cover system innovations will be on offer in both the singleplayer and multiplayer game, according to the site.

The game will also take place in the summer and feature brand new environments for the series, including underwater, so Marcus will have to break out the wetsuit.

Edge also speculates that jungle or foliage-heavy areas could appear in the game, as hinted at by Epic's Unreal Engine 3 demo at GDC in March.

There's no official word yet on Gears 3, so we'll just have to wait and see whether it's on the agenda for Cliff Bleszinski's US TV appearance on Monday night.

Edge has contacted Microsoft for comment.

 Do you have any pills with Codeine in them? That helps my back (temporarily).

 Ah, Codine. Painkillers of the gods. I got it once when I was bitten by an animal. 

Anyhow, I just got back from my appointment. I have a vitamin D deficiency but not enough to cause my condition. So they prescribed me this pain-reliever/anti depressent (anti depressents are commonly prescribed for back pain sufferers) to relax the muscles and crap. 

I go back in a month. Then off to Rheumetology. Oh and its so nice to hear that GPs regard fibromylgia so highly - as a waste basket (diagnose if they don't know what's wrong) condition. 

 Anti-D's... that's the ticket.  How about some core training to strengthen the back and associated muscles?  That helped me as well.

Also, has anyone here played Rage of the Gladiator? I've been looking at this game lately and reading reviews. I had no idea it was good!

They say it's like Punch-Out! on steroids with good animation, gameplay, and challenge.

I may have to download this!

 No sir.  I've not ever heard of it.

Holy crap. I just finished a meeting with the hospital's General Director and a conference with the state's Health Minister. I feel like somebody's balls after a two-week honeymoon. I haven't eaten since last night, and it's 4 pm now. ;_;

Glad to hear your issue is being approached more carefully now, GG. Hopefully, the muscle relaxant/antidepressant combo will make you feel better in a short period of time. Leo, make sure you dedicate this entire weekend for YOU, and nobody else. Take care of yourself, ok? Both of you. You are a very big part of this place.

On the bright side, I finished chapter 5-2 of RE5 last night. I believe I might wrap it up tonight. After eating something, of course. :hungry:

Edit: And the GP is wrong, lol. Fybromyalgia diagnosis in an exclusion one, based on clinical evidence and physical examination, instead of a precise lab value or specific test. It might sound like a "waste basket", but reaching properly the diagnosis is exceedingly complicated.

And I am not finding out that MGS Peace Walker isn't like other MGS games. It seems like the game will be broken up into selectable missions, it won't be one large straight through story driven experience. There will be a story to guide the story along but having to choose missions from a map is weird. Plus it seems like there are no human boss fights, you only fight Metal Gears and shit.

Still looks fun as hell but this is no MGS5.

It's MGS5. And past Metal Gears break up the story in sections too. 2 and 4 especially. The world is continuous where it needs to be, did you even play the demo? Sure it's broken up in 3 missions but all 3 are clearly connected (and have to be done in order too), and it's not like every mission will be just one small area, each of the demo's missions still has like 3 areas (and a few extra paths that are inaccessible in the demo too). And they're basically all connected together so it's a set of areas, another set of areas, and a boss fight as normal, you just get to do stuff inbetween if you want, like select a new class or whatever (that's all there is in the demo, I imagine you can also manage your base inbetween in the full game or whatever). If the story's point demands more, it'll certainly have more continuous connected areas where necessary too. And there's plenty cool set pieces as seen in various trailers like the last gameplay video before the conference. As for bosses, it's just speculation. I'm sure there will be a few main characters on top of the robots or random elite squads with their vehicles (like the tank battle in the video or the chopper battle in the trailers), but the robots being there allows for replayability with having many different of them and what not in random missions, if it was a specific character he couldn't just return every time, while robots with diff configurations make sense to keep being encountered. The story's script is supposed to be bigger than MGS4 so there will be plenty characters even if not as bosses. It's MGS5, and it will be better than 4. And 2. and 3. But not 1
