Rumour Killers: Gears of War MMO? Crysis on Consoles? Aliens RPG Canned?

TGR: 1. Could Epic be developing a Gears of War MMO? We all know the Gears of War universe is expanding every day, thanks to the huge success Gears 1 and 2 have received on the Xbox 360 this last couple of years. Gears of War has been a benchmark left by Epic for all shooters to achieve. There have been comics, action figures, and even plans for a movie based on the franchise, and the continued support by Epic for Gears 2 has kept the community alive. Apart from the obvious Gears of War 3, how else can Epic expand the franchise even further? How about an MMO?

2. Could Crysis be coming to consoles soon? If there is one game console gamers envy, it is none other than Crysis. The open-world shooter developed by Crytek Studios is probably the best-looking game so far. The only problem with it is that you need one hell of a rig to play at maximum settings and get the most out of this beast. Ever since its launch, there have been rumors that the game would one day make the jump to home consoles. One said it would be on Xbox 360 only, one said PS3, and another said both.

3. Has Sega pulled the plug on its Aliens RPG? The last few days haven't been the best for Japanese gaming giant, Sega. The company has announced losses across the board, is closing down arcades around the world, and will be cutting quite a few jobs, worldwide, too. We were hoping that the games in development either internally or externally wouldn't be affected, but according to this rumor, we may see some games being axed. The game that's making real noise now is Obsidian Entertainment's Aliens RPG, which is based on the sci-fi horror films of the past.

With this economy though, even a couple hundred to upgrade is a lot to play one game... (Of course, it also makes every game look prettier.)

I dunno why people are all ''we are going through hard times these days with the economy and all''.

Personally, I feel absolutely no difference.

Crytek has shown their engine running on 360/PS3 behind closed doors...

I believe PS3 owners have its Crysis in the form of Killzone 2. Crysis would make a nice addition to my game library though as long as the port was good.

Hmm, I've never envies Crysis. For all it's graphical glitz it just seemed like yet another generic Sci-Fi shooter. I'm sure its fun, but it didn't grab my attention really.

It looks beautiful, but other than that it never got my attention either. Consoles have enough great shooters.

Well it did get my attention, and while I was playing on low settings on my old PC. This game really is awesome but you won't be able to enjoy it if you just try to finish it very fast. You need to take your time and do cool stuff like crashing your vehicle in a house and make it explode, etc....

Ever since I've played Crysis, I always feel like other FPS lack freedom and are too straightfoward. I think it's come to the point where we have anti-graphics fanboys. People are hating on Crysis just because it looks good and they can't believe it can also have great gameplay.

I agree. I feel like console gamers should and do envy other games more than Crysis.

Crysis is actually realy good, enjoy it on PC and would be cool on PS3 or 360

Yeah I've heard its good, but is it good enough for me to go out and spend sixty bucks when I've already invested myself in another shooter that probably plays quite similarly? That's the problem with FPS games for me, they all feel too alike. I have one main shooter I'm playing right now, Resistance 2, but meanwhile I have more RPGs, adventure and strategy games than I can count. Good graphics aren't going to be enough to sell it to me. I'm having the same problem with Killzone 2.

7.2 - I agree with you both...
Crysis is a good shooter that was highly under-rated for being a good shooter.

But if you have a game like Resistance 2, it does make it seem pointless to pick up a shooter that's pretty much equivalent...like Crysis. Then again, for everyone who didn't buy R2, it would be cool to have Crysis on the consoles.

Resistance 2 and Crysis are pretty different, actually. It's like comparing GT5 to GTA4.

(oh and FINALLY someone who says Crysis is good!)

a gears MMO, are you serious?

You would run out of story after about 10 hours of gameplay, and the GeOW game mechanics just will not work online.

Well Gears of War the TPS (makes me think of office space) would have different requirements than an MMO. I doubt you can judge the game as an MMO without ever seeing it...

Why do people keep saying Gears of War gameplay can't work as an MMO?

Search up Gears of War MMO on google and this keeps popping up:

The gameplay footage is just like Gears but in an MMO setting. Please, tell me this would not be fun?

Yeah, plus the idea of an MMO filled with character types that are uniformly hugely muscled guys wouldn't make MMO play any more fun.

It would be interesting to see how they would make different charector classes. As a whole, it seems like it be pretty hard...

Lol. Don't worry I'm sure they'd still find a way to sneak in some massive chested women somehow.

I always thought it was the Gears characters that helped make it as famous as it is. If people liked playing the game online, i don't see why playing created characters of the same type would be any worse.

I was thinking the exact same thing about the classes, and was going to comment until I saw yours.

I'm gonna make a big burly man with purple hair to be different.

The problem with a GoW MMO lies in the lack of races or, rather, the lack of variety in the characters. You really need to have opposing sides and the Locust aren't really a viable enough 'race' to have any depth in an MMO. I can't imagine them to have the infrastructure, or the materialism, of the COGs/Stranded -- both are vital to the immersion of an MMO.

If everyone were COGs, it'd lose its appeal fast.

Couldn't always add new classes? Throw in an extra side just to mix things up.

Why are people making it like this would be an epic-fail (pun intended)?
