PC version of Gears of War 2 in WCG poll

Rumor: Polish video game website found out, that there is PC version of Gears of War 2 in World Cyber Games poll. Considering fact, that global tournaments like WCG must be prepared in advance, this can be true. Will GoW2 be released in early 2009?

thought cliify b said this was never going to pc they lied if its true

pixelsword5668d ago

That's the only way some people would get a 360, if some games weren't coming out for the PC.

Me myself, I was going to get a 360, but if I can play Gears2 without buying anything extra, then I may delay that purchase and buy something else.

Xelai5668d ago

The site has to be wrong, there is no way Gears 2 for PC, even if it exists will come out in early 2009. Exclusivity is for a minimum of 6 months, and last time it was a year.

BWS19825668d ago

I can look to my game collection for my laptop and see Gears 1 sitting between Orange Box and Company of Heroes, and that wasn't supposed to exist according to the same thing they said a couple years ago. I'm not saying it WILL come to PC, but I can't trust what they will say either way, it's marketing.

PopEmUp5670d ago

Expected, nothing more than Cliffy Sarcasm words "NO PC Version of Gear of Wars 2" well Let see about that shall we?

Excalibur5669d ago

Let me make it perfectly clear that I am a huge Gears Of War fan.

That said, if in fact Gears 2 does go to PC Epic will lose a lot of credibility in my eyes.
Not so much that it is going to PC because I could care less either way but the fact that Epic insisted it wasn't.
The same way they insisted that the first Gears wasn't then released it on PC with more content.

I won't lie, that really pi$$ed me off.

There is no way in this world I can believe that a PC version wasn't planned all along, especially since the PC artwork got leaked shortly after Gears came out.

What really Pi$$es me off that they did a re-release with the extra DLC but not the extra PC stuff.
I know they said it couldn't be done but I really believe that was all B.S.
It was a double dipping ploy.

Remember Epic, Integrity is a virtue.

dragunrising5669d ago (Edited 5669d ago )

It is one thing to say a PC version is planned...however to lie about it and then release an enhanced version with exclusive content is shameful. This better not happen a second time or else Epic will lose a lot of face value. If they are working on a PC version I feel they are diverting resources that otherwise could make the 360 version even better. Don't screw early adopters and release a PC version with exclusive content. Better yet, don't release a PC version at all if you've said multiple times it doesn't exist. Otherwise Epic is calling all of their loyal fans idiots for believing them. Should a PC version come to pass, Epic gets the bird from me.

Edit: Judging by the sales of the PC version, I don't think there is a huge stimulus to release a Gears of War 2. Just my two cents.

Edit 2: I would feel the same way if Resistance 1 or 2 (or both) came to the PC. Exclusives should be kept exclusive.

Cheeseknight285668d ago

Even if there IS a GOW2 planned for PC, there is no way it'll be released early 2009.

Blasphemy5668d ago (Edited 5668d ago )

What Cliffy B meant to say was that Gears of War 2 won't release on PC in 2008.

MiloGarret5668d ago (Edited 5668d ago )

Haha, I can see it now:

"What's that Mr reporter? Of course its coming to PC, what made you think it wouldn't? I said it would NEVER come to PC?!?!? No, you're wrong, I said it would never ever come to PC, in 08. See? It all makes sense, right?"

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

KicksnSnares691d ago

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies690d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638690d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72691d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337691d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever690d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad691d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds691d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

https://youtu.be/wy8LRlS1SC...

Neonridr824d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies824d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia825d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey602824d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian229824d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares825d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve825d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares825d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos824d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong825d ago (Edited 825d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard824d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

Atom6661167d ago

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1167d ago (Edited 1167d ago )

Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:

1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
