Midway hypes secret title, claims looks ‘better’ than Gears of War 2

Hyping up a game before its release is commonplace in the industry. Hyping up a game that hasn’t even been revealed is a bit more rare. Then there’s hyping up an unannounced game by claiming it’s better than an A+ heavy hitter like Gears of War 2, something that is simply unheard of, but is exactly what Midway is doing.

Talking to Videogamer.com, Midway creative director Simon Woodroffe compared their upcoming secret project to Epic’s blockbuster, claiming it “looks as good if not better than Gears 2.” How boastful. Woodroffe goes on to say that Midway’s secret project (tentatively scheduled for release in 2010) is “similar to Gears, but a totally different set up” and is already looking prettier thanks to their company’s sharing of technology. We’re going to mentally catalog Mr. Woodroffe’s statement and, come 2010 when this secret project makes it to market, we’ll be sure to make Gears 2 comparisons … and judge harshly.
