[Update: CliffyB has just confirmed that the female character is, in fact, Anya here on Twitter]
As expected, Cliffy’ B’s big reveal on Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night Show was indeed Gears of War 3. I’ll not say too much about it for those of you who’ve yet to see the trailer, dubbed “ashes to ashes.†Just know that the war between the COGS and the horde rages on, Marcus Fenix still looks completely bad-ass, Dom seems to have let himself go and there’s something large with tentacles – and quite possibly the coolest staple gun in shooters; the double-barrelled shotgun. Alright!
There may also be a COG with breasts – and that’s never a bad thing. It may actually just be a male character from final Fantasy, I’m not sure. The music in the trailer – evocative of the original Gears’ Mad Word is Heron Blue by Sun Kil Moon. Hit the jump to have your senses raped by awesomeness.

That’s the worst of all the Gears video’s but the graphics look awesome and I just can’t not be excited about this game…
But April 2011? Seriously I can’t wait that long.

She should have been a little dirtier, and I thought Demi Moore already established in GI Jane that short hair is a lot easier to maintain than long locks? But I guess, if you’re fighting the Locust it’s better to look fabulous. Maybe that’s why Dom looks so rough, he’s been passing all the complimentary shampoos to her? Dirty Dom, you dog 😛 :happy:

Sad to see Dom being emo with a beard like some teenager who’s lost his girlfriend to the highschool quaterback

I think Dom needs to grow a pair, although that beard screams bad ass. In fact, beards always indicate that you’re inclined towards extreme badassary. I just hope they don’t kill of Dom towards the end… :wassat:

I like Bearded Dom more than Emo Dom. I hope they give him a roundhouse kick finisher
Bobby Kotick is keen to replay Colony Wars

I agree. If Gears 2 allowed for more creative endings, it would have ended with Marcus wearing Dom’s ears around his neck. :whistle:
Cole-train: Yo Marcus.. are those ears around your neck?
Marcus: Yeah Cole… Dom just didn’t want to shut-up about his wife, so I killed him.
Cole-train: DAMN!

The COG girl don’t fit in the gearverse.
All COG women are in breeding programs untill they reach an age where they cannot have kids/look after kids anymore.
That chick is way to young.
Pretty cool trailer.

Yeah but it would make sense if it’s just a handful, or a woman that is incapable of falling pregnant. This is also probably humanity’s last stand , so they may use that as an excuse that they need all the people they can get

Yeah it does kinda look like Anya, so I was thinking that too. Makes sense as she is an established character

Looks awesome can’t for more Gears fun. Dom looks more badass now, looks more rough and pissed off. Don’t mind there being girl COG doesn’t really make a difference to the game. 1 year way, damn thats gona take forever.

Think Roadie Run with a female character. Gamers will be running all day long just to see the ass wiggle.
