Don't get excited, this is just a fan made one. A fan with no woman in his life, presumably...
Our interest in Gears of War 2 has ramped up considerably this morning thanks to two tantalizing rumors being flung about the interweb.
The first, and considerably less juicy - but nontheless interesting - rumor is that Gears of Wars 2 will be the first Xbox 360 game to make use of special 'linked achievements'. "What in Sam hill is a linked achievement?" I hear you say. Well, apparently certain achievements -and in this case unlockable characters - will become available if Gears 2 recognises a previous Gears 1 save file that has met certain requirements.
Here are some leaked examples:
* Unlocking the "Completed Act 1" achievement in GoW unlocks Anthony Carmine in GoW2 multiplayer.
* Unlocking the "A Dish Best Served Cold" achievement in GoW unlocks General RAAM in GoW2 multiplayer.
* Unlocking the "Time to Remember" achievement in GoW unlocks Minh Young Kim in GoW2 multiplayer.
If this rumor is true, we for one welcome the bold new system. It's about time developers started recognising and rewarding loyal gamers who have shelled out the lettuce (dollars) to play the first game in their series. In short, it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
The second rumor, and this is still very, v-e-r-y much in 'mill form', is that Epic plans to release a special edition of the game. According to nameless sources (who could well be a bunch of drunken frat boys), for 130 big ones (dollars) you can secure yourself a copy of the game and a replica of Marcus Fenix's 'Lancer gun'. For those of you unitiated with the joys of Locust logging; the ‘Lancer’ would of course be the assault rifle with the dirty big underslung chainsaw attached.
If true, this is fantastic news for lovers of extra collectibles everywhere. Personally, I've already envisioned myself wiling away the hours chasing my cat around the house using the lancer, wearing the spartan helmet, and carrying a GTA duffel bag packed full of sugar to eat.
