Gears of War 3 - Discussion Thread

[Gannu]

I mean look at those ugly mofos and then imagine how much more ugly and detailed ugly they could be if this was on PC.

Epic explains why no Gears of War 3 PC | bit-gamer.net

'It's a decision to focus on the market majority, Capps told us yesterday at GamesCom 2011 in Cologne, Germany.

Explaining further, Capps said that creating a PC version of Gears of War 3 would not be as easy as copying the code over and would require quite a bit of work for Epic.

'It was a choice. In that amount of time we could have done one big Xbox 360 update for Gears of War 3, or we could have made a PC port. It was a matter of priorities.'

Capps also made mention of the original PC version of Gears of War, which he said had not exceeded Epic's expectations.

Btw both of us are pre-ordering it sometime soon.

^ I understand it's not as easy as porting the code cover and as a matter of fact, I would rather prefer them not doing it. Console ports are rubbish and do not exploit the available power on PCs. I would rather have a proper made-for-PC game than stupid console port. Rest is whatever, priorities, sales expectations... blah blah blah. Ultimately it was a business decision for whatever reason.

^tsk tsk RAGE.

 

[YoGi-Sama]

^ Yeh... RAGE, indeed.

Gears of War trailers offer unearned emotion, misplaced music

Damn!

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

Bah! Who cares? All we need is adrenaline pumping action.

 

[Gannu]

But one wouldn't possibly expect a near-perfect game (and the last installment in its series?) to have sub-par music.

[iamnew]

Is there any chance this game will come to pc in the near future?

 

[dinjo]

NO WAY, microsoft already said it.

Will this be available on Windows 8 ??

Here's Gamespot's take on Gears of War 3 - 9.5/10

Gears of War 3, Gears of War 3 Xbox 360 - GameSpot.com

 

[Gannu]

^lol no man. Why would that be specifically Windows 8?

CliffyB has made it very clear that this would be X360 exclusive.

 

[quixand]

Nah just thought this might be available on Win 8, or at least the previous ones. There was some news on those lines, wasn't there?

Anyways, this is a series I haven't had a chance to play. I want to. I'm a big time Cliff Fan, since Unreal Tournament days.

PS: What's with the "Bro"tastic stuff ?

 

[Gannu]

You can always play it later. I am assuming you'd have played Gears 1. You should get yourself a console and play the next 2 titles and complete an epic trilogy!

Ummm what? Where?! :ashamed:
