N'Gai Croal: Gears of War 3 Predicted For PS3

Interestingly enough, Michael Pachter brought up an interesting point when he stated that EA didn't drop $300M on BioWare and Pandemic only to let them keep working on Xbox 360 titles. No, Pachter claims that EA very likely intends on bringing Mass Effect onto the PlayStation 3, with either a sequel, the original, or both.

N'Gai Croal then points out Epic, who is very familiar with the PlayStation 3 architecture, and goes on to state "we pretty much know that Gears of War 3 is probably gonna' come out on PS3." Yes, GOW3, and not the sequel; Microsoft holds Epic to a two-game deal, so the first two will likely remain exclusive, but Gears of War is the intellectual property of Epic Games.

1.3 - sorry 360 fan but deal is a deal

no one can break the deal, and MS deal was for 2 sequels! the 3rd is up in the air, so there is a possibility to be a ps3 exclusive or 360 exclusive or multiplatforms. i say look forward for gears of war 2 where it MIGHT be the last 360 owners will get from the series.

EDIT:

i dont know y i got disagrees, i only stated a fact!!! do u disagree with facts?? MAAAN 360 fans coming from another planet sorry to say so but that wat i realized.

But we ALL know that Sony fanboys think that GoW is a big joke and so inferior to anything that came out on the PS3 that no PS3 owner would ever consider purchasing such a rot gut game as GoW.

1.5 - Its time ALL fanboys (both PS3 and 360) recognize good games ...

I am a loyal PS3 owner and I am a loyal 360 owner and having the luxury of both systems I can most assuredly state that Gears AND Bioshock are some of the BEST games I have played in a long time!

I can also state that Uncharted, Heavenly Sword and UT3 are also FANTASTIC games.

My point is that BOTH systems have great games out and it is a shame that fanboys of one system are incapable of recognizing this.

REAL GAMERS don't flame and b!tch about things they don't have - they find ways to play ALL the best games and enjoy the experience.

I really feel sorry for those that are unable to have both systems, because this years games are INCREDIBLE!

@JsonHenry

What is the matter with you?

I'm a Big PS3 fan, but I have both consoles.
Gears is one of my, if not my favorite game. I simply love it.
But I right now my PS3 is the only one plugged in. Too many games to play to go back to Gears at the moment.

I looking forward to Gears 2. But nothing would please me more than to see number 3 on the PS3. Then we might be able to play it without all the lag problems that was the only thing bad about the first one.

1.7 - People people

If GOW continues to do well, MS will do anything it has to in an effort to keep the series 360 exclusive. They will have the option to buy up the 3rd game in the series long before Sony does, and trust me they will. Same goes for Mass Effect. MS can and will buy the entire IP if they have to, not just publishing rights, so just forget all this talk of these games going to PS3, the only way that happens is if Mass Effect II or GOWII flops, then MS will not waste their money. This was MS's plan from the start.

1.9 - don't get it confused henry

what PS3 owners have said is that gears of war runs like crap and in some aspects was cutback in scope BECAUSE of the 360 hardware. Learn to tell the difference. I would love to see both this and MAss Effect run better on the PS3 than the slideshow the 360 is putting out right now.

suuuuuure henry we alll know you have played gears online countless times and seen an enemy turn the corner only to jump to an animation of your head popping like a balloon before you could do a thing, that's a slideshow. NOOB

I don't know what you are talking about. Neither Gears of War (I didn't think the game was all that) or Mass Effect run at a "slideshow" as you say.

And there has yet to be a mutli-plat game that runs better on the PS3. Makes me wish I would have waited to buy one until the devs figure the architecture out.

3 - Look I respect Patcher.....

But he says alot of things. What he knows are sales trends and buying trends and that is what his area of expertise really falls into. He is privy to alot...but he also is not. From that interview I felt it was pretty clear that he has zero insight into the actual deals struck regarding the Bioware buy out and Mass Effect. I think he again is doing what he does and putting pure speculation out into the public around the game. Sure its an educated guess that EA would want Mass Effect on mutiple systems...but I would bet big money that MS has that locked up for at least 2 games. Mass Effect 3 might come the way of the PS3..but honestly if they couldnt put out 1 or 2...would it really makes sense for 3 to come out?

And as for N'Gai...he is the biggest Sony Fanboy in the press. So I have zero doubt he would start talkin about Gears of War on the PS3. Again...aint happening anytime soon.

N'Gai Croal is a well known Sony fanboy. He is spreading lies in the vain hope more people will buy a PS3 after hearing this. As for Epic, do you really think they would try to piss off the 360 userbase when Gears of War has sold over 4 million copies on the 360 while Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3 has only sold 69,768 and did not break the top 40.

It does seem that N'Gai is a Sony fanboy. I didn't even realize it until now. He was the one who posted the article on "The Flight of the Killer Bees, is MGS on quicksand."

Anything is possible but I would think Microsoft would just pony up the money to either Epic or EA for further exclusives on both Mass Effect and Gears of War. Gears of War is after all a multi-million seller and Mass Effect could be also. Just bc EA and Epic are multiplatform does not mean they still cannot do exclusives for Microsoft.

With the 360 having a very large install base and an extremely high games attach rate. Microsoft has really good bargaining power to obtain 3rd party exclusives.

I have Gears for War for the PC and it has soooo much more detail than the 360 version. When I watch the cut sceens, that were taken from the 360, I'm like - That looks like crap. The PC version is soo much better. If they bring this to the PS3 they can match the great graphics that PC can deliver. Cough UT3

I thought Gears for 360 and PC were a year apart as if UT3 360 version won't match or pass the current version due to better developed methods for making the game plus having more time.

Dam you guys are starting to really reach its back and forth with you guy's trying to claim PS3 as champ with numbers then when that fails you find other ways to get even. lol

Well that's because you never played the game then.

Gears of War is online. It's a good offline game, but a monster of an online game. And it takes at least 2-3 days before you're even good enough online to get the full value.

It might be one of the shortest games of 2006, but nothing to date has more value for me than gears. Well maybe UT3, but Im still waiting for my import on that one.

DuDe said Mass Effect "1" could find its way to PS3. You have to throw away this guy's(Patcher) opinion claiming such wild fictions.

Come on ME 1 going to PS3?, the average fanboy knows more about how the industry works.

URT3 for PS3 is probably going to flop! why would Epic downgrade the Blockbuster GOW for PS3 when MSFT will pay the amount of money many times over they would have made on the PS3 platform?.

I do not think it is possible to port Mass Effect to other consoles because Microsoft publishes it. It is possible that it could come to PC, but most likely not until it stops selling well on the 360.

Was he said was actually than the PS3 would not catch up with 360 sales per month before the end of 2007 or early 2008.

He said the PS3 would dominate 2008 and loose 2007 in total sales.

So right now he is doing pretty good when it comes to predictions.

If Microsoft own only the first two iterations of the Gears trilogy (assuming it will be a trilogy), then there is no reason to think that Epic wouldn't want to maximise profits on the game by making it multiplatform - and I assure you this game would sell even on a system that doesn't seem to be selling many games lol.

But having said that, Microsoft would probably just buy the exclusive rights to the whole Gears franchise. And that is more likely than them waving that chance away, and consequently seeing Gears of War 3 on the PlayStation 3.
