In the new “making of” video for Gears of War 2, which mainly focuses on the weapons of the game, holds something slightly more interesting. For a brief second or so you can catch a glimpse of what appears to be the successor to General Ramm.

Not much is known about this brutal looking foe other then its design being strikingly similar to that of the Predator, complete with dreadlocks and a very dangerous looking staff that appears to have two chainsaws on the end? Badass!

See the trailer for yourself here (http://gearsofwar.xbox.com/AgeGate.htm).

Looks pretty badass.

Post by: duckman2000 on September 19, 2008, 01:55:46 PM: Yeah, it doesn't seem like Epic to design something that functionally "unrealistic," especially not after seeing the complexity of weapons in UT3.

They're chainsaws. The blades go inside those two pieces where they make it look like they aren't connected. Still don't believe me, super gaming journalist? Go read Novembers issue of OXM. It covers Act 1 up until this beast jumps down(see gif) and attacks Dizzy with his dual chainsaw staff of I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

Shouldn't you be at school right now?
