Gears of War 3 Is Not Coming To The PS3

William Usher writes,

"I don't know how many times it has to be repeated, reiterated, redundantly reinforced and repetitively reproached, but gamers really, really need to understand that despite the hype, despite the news, despite whatever they hear or read from anyone else, GOW 3 [sic] is not coming to the PS3.

The rumors have been put out there but they also need to be killed, and TheGameReviews has aptly done so."

[thereapersson]

These rumors really need to die out and stop coming back. If people really want to play a game that badly, they need to buy or borrow the system that it's on.

Period.

[RyuStrife]

The dude said Gears of War is Microsoft property, but I don't see that anywhere on the Gears of War site. It certainly says it's an IP of Epic, but I don't see Microsoft on it. But whatever the case, just buy the system where the game is on if anyone wants to play it. If not then stop yapping about it.

[pswi60]

360 fanboys will die before they buy a ps3 to play MGS4 or KZ2.

ps3 fanboys have already played Halo 3, Gears 1+2, L4D, and said meh =/

[HighDefinition]

MSFT made a 2 game deal w/ EPIC, which is over.

I`m pretty sure if EPIC wanted to, they could make it a PS3 or WII exclusive or atleast multiplatform or keep it a 360 exclusive. It`s up to them.

BTW, GOW belongs to the GOD OF WAR. Because.....

1. God Of War came out first
2. Kratos would OWN the sh!t out of Marcus Fenix in a fight.

[UnSelf]

PS3 and Unreal Engines dont go well together

[HighDefinition]

I`d imagine GEOW3 would be using UE4, which will probaly work better w/ the PS3.

[PixlSheX]

In the end.. who cares? You can keep gears 3. I have god of war 3 =).

[bassturd]

@1.2

really...cuz I like my PS3 the most but I quite enjoyed Gears 2.

Thank you, now don't generalize us because we aren't all fanboys like you.

[ape007]

just smells 360,I cannot imagine it on ps3

but one thing im afraid of

rod furgesson said"we are defenatly reaching the upper limit of the 360"

no fanboyism at all guys or anything intended but I want a good discussion.please

[NaiNaiNai]

@ pswi60

i just bought a ps3 with MGS4 last night. T_T. so tell me again, how a hardcore 360 fan won't by a ps3 for a game. or vise versa.

"Gears of War, Gears of War 2, the Crimson Omen logo, Marcus Fenix, Unreal, Epic Games and the Epic Games logo are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Epic Games, Inc., in the United States and/or elsewhere."

http://www.cinemablend.com/...

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I do believe that Microsoft will continue securing publishing rights for the franchise, but they do NOT own any property rights related to the franchise, which means that if Epic wants to forgo their relationship with Microsoft as their publisher and go multiplatform, they can. But again, I believe Microsoft would do everything in their power (which is quite a bit) to retain their publisher rights for God of War 3.

[pain777pas]

Who give a F@CK?

[CrazedFiend]

PS3 gamers have had to put up with MGS4 on 360 rumors even well beyond it's release. The rumors do need to stop, but they're just not going to.

You can get mad, rant and talk common sense about it all you want, but we've learned that that's not going to change anything. You might as well just get used to it. As soon as it's squashed, someone will just reignite the rumor torch again just to get some extra hits.

Don't waste your time on the stupidity of others. Just worry about something else.

[fishd]

The gut who erote the article sound so err...butthurt!Oh wait this is William Usher,consider me shocked...NOT

[N4360G]

LOL no thanks,we have a better game coming called Killzone 2,which is only 13 days away,I can't wait!!

[morganfell]

I would like this know it all from cinemablend to explain why Epic has taken the time and expense to program and engineer Gears of War 2 on the PS3. They have the interfaces and network code up and running. Why mr cinemablend would they expend the effort and cost for that? If you are on the Unreal Developers network and have looked around you have seen the bug reports. If they are going to issue a know it all denial then they should ensure they first do indeed "know it all".

[ProperFunked]

if there was a disagree button for the headline, =p i would of clicked it

heh =D

[andron]

So maybe they can bring out a GeoW prequel or something on multiplatform? It would sure sell well...

[uie4rhig]

there were rumours saying that MS had a 2 game contract for GeoW.. but they might have made a new deal or sumit along the way.. you never know..

[gaffyh]

HighDefinition is pretty much correct.

[jaysquared]

Netflix>>MGS4

If I want to watch a movie on my 360 I can just go on netflix!

[xwabbit]

They had a 2 game contract not 3 lol, google it up and for any 1 who doesn't know.... Gears is an EPIC IP not M$'s. Epic can do what they want but yeah i doubt M$ would let that happen.... would seem weird seeing Gears on a PS3 but w/e right, the more games the better.

[prunchess]

Yeah, I couldn't agree more but I would go even further and say that the Unreal engine its self is not great. It looked dated from the day it was released.

I loved Bioshock on the PS3 and 360 but its graphics are hardly stellar with the exception of the water effects.

The PS3 doesn't need Gears 1, 2 or 3. It has plenty of better games. Anyone that really likes the series has a 360 already.

[Shepherd 214]

buddy, you need to keep your day job because spewing out nonsense like that surely doesn't pay off does it?

Your lack of intelligence flatters me though, really it does.

[king dong]

as usual, you open your mouth, and out pours pure unadulterated fanboy know-nothingness!

please post a link confriming this two game contract?

and answer why something thats confirmed as a trilogy, and has lots of $ pumped into it by microsft. would then only be secured by them for two games?? man you talk absolute rubbish!

oh yeah, i remember reading once where you claimed to be married..lol then you write hings like
"Kratos would OWN the sh!t out of Marcus Fenix in a fight" really the talk of an adult lol

i think that gow3 will be on the 360, and a prequel and new spin offs will be made with the ur4 engine, on the next xbox, which again microsoft will invest in and secure. it will be interesting to see how things pan-out.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

There's nothing that say it couldn't happen, but yeah...I wouldn't bet on it.

I would love to see if 360 can match the PS3 graphically with a game like MGS4. Maybe Kojima's next opus will be multiplatform.

[tuneraider]

the economy is in bad shape, the sky is blue and fanboys are emotionally retarded hypocrites.

[Sarcasm]

Meh, just leave Gears on the 360 already.

Cause once GoWIII, GT5, Uncharted 2 drops in the future. We won't see the 360 fanboys go

"Bu bu bu Gears ThreEeEeEEeeeeeeeeeeeee"

when it comes to graphics arguments.

Gears of War 2 is exclusive to Xbox 360 unless its publisher, Microsoft, decides otherwise. I can't imagine them asking us to deliver a Playstation 3 version of the game :)

Subject: Speculation...
So I heard from a Licensee from UDN is stating that Gears of War 2, the Microsoft Published exclusive to the Xbox 360, is being ported to the Sony Playstation 3. The man is causing a lot of fuss on the site www.n4g.com and I would be honored to have some confirmation about this. His account name on n4g is called Morganfell.

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

I urge you to respond, as he is causing a lot of issues within the site, and must be, in some way, breaking an agreement with EPIC games.

-Thanks, Michael."

If you are to be telling the truth, and it is in fact coming to the PS3 and will be announced at E3'09 this year like you have constantly said, then you are breaking the user agreement laws of the Unreal Developers Network and can be sued to the fullest extent of the law by both Microsoft and EPIC Games Studios. Announcements like these are closed to the public for a reason. Not to mention they wouldn't post such information TO the public.

[Theory Of Suckboxism]

Gears Of War 3 will be better on the PS3,we Xbox 360 owners will get screwed by EPIC when they announce Gears Of War 3 for the PS3 :(

[uie4rhig]

while i don't know if you have made that email up or not, i don't exactly care.. but even if it is true, since Epic are 3rd party, there is NO WAY that microsoft decides that if GeoW goes to PS3 or not if it's outside the contract.. also in that email you are asking about GeoW2, which (if the rumours are to be believed) falls inside the rumoured contract between MS and Epic (note: only rumour).. but if the contract really is for 2 geow games, then as said before, there is no way microsoft can do anything to prevent geow3 to go to PS3.. Gears of war is still an Epic owned IP, and as long as Microsoft does only the publishing for the 360, and they are outside the contract, all epic needs to do is find a new publisher, and if im not mistaking, epic games also publish games and not just develop them.

[Rhoic]

I never said anything about Gears of War 3. Morganfell is stating that Gears of War 2 will be announced to the public come E3'09. If this is true, then they are still under contract as of right now, and he could be sued to the fullest extent of the law by both Microsoft and EPIC Games Studios. And no, the email is 100% legit. I was exhilarated that the CEO of EPIC Games even responded.

Also, Microsoft HAS published Gears of War 2. It has their Microsoft Game Studios logo on the cover, and in the game when booted up. If they did not own the rights, then why do other third party exclusives to the 360 NOT have MGS on it?

[uie4rhig]

"Microsoft HAS published Gears of War 2. It has their Microsoft Game Studios logo on the cover, and in the game when booted up. If they did not own the rights, then why do other third party exclusives to the 360 NOT have MGS on it?"

I know microsoft has published GeoW and GeoW2.. but it doesn't matter if their logo is on their, as long as the IP is owned by someone else, and there no contract binding you to someone, then there is nothing stopping you from bringing your IP to someone else. but you are right about GeoW2, Epic won't be able to bring it to any other platform unless the contract is for a limited amount of time (same as BioShock). but otherwise PS3 owners can kiss GeoW2 and GeoW1 goodbye!

[Rhoic]

Microsoft had no exclusive rights to BioShock. They did not purchase anything. They also did not publish anything. It was entirely 2K's doing.

What is the point of having the publishing logo on Gears of War 2 if they do not own the publishing rights? The logic here is flawed. They obviously DO own the rights, or they would not have bothered to publish the game.

[uie4rhig]

you wouldn't see the text "Gears of War, Gears of War 2, the Crimson Omen logo, Marcus Fenix, Unreal, Epic Games and the Epic Games logo are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Epic Games, Inc., in the United States and/or elsewhere." on the official geow website if geow was owned by MS, rather, it would say something like this: "Unreal, Epic Games and the Epic Games logo are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Epic Games, Inc., in the United States and/or elsewhere."

and next to that, the geow portal has a trademark statement, whereas the halo portal does not. the only thing on the Halo portal says "© 2008 Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved" which is not a trademarking statement, but a copyright statement, however, the copyright statement of geow is "©2009 Epic Games, Inc., except underlying technology ©2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved." << which means Epic and MS can distribute copies of GeoW (except the technologies used, which only Epic has the right to)..

so i'll stay with the fact that GeoW is not owned by MS, but only the publishing rights is with MS!

and if you're too lazy to search, here are the links:
http://gearsofwar.xbox.com/...
http://halo.xbox.com/

[Rhoic]

Lol.. I don't need to search. I can look at the box of both of the games and read in the bottom right corner "Microsoft Game Studios"

Then, I can turn on the game, and watch as they advertise what has been used or who owns the game, which by the way, is another "Microsoft Game Studios" ad.

You're not answering the question here. If Microsoft does not own the rights to Gears of War 1 and 2, then how are they publishing the game? Also, if they do not own the rights, then how is it that Mark Rein, CEO of EPIC Games Studios, is telling me that Microsoft owns all publishing rights to Gears of War 2. And that they would be in control of whether or not a PS3 port is made? Also, does Microsoft even need to own the IP if they own all publishing rights? It would be somewhat illegal for EPIC to make a Gears of War 2 port if Microsoft is the one publishing the game.

And yes, I swear on my grandmother's grave that the email is 100% real.

[uie4rhig]

if MS publishes it, they are allowed to put their logo on there..

"If Microsoft does not own the rights to Gears of War 1 and 2, then how are they publishing the game?"

it's called a contract between companies, a company can say i'm gonna create the game, but it's your job to sell it to people..

"Also, if they do not own the rights, then how is it that Mark Rein, CEO of EPIC Games Studios, is telling me that Microsoft owns all publishing rights to Gears of War 2."
yes you said it right there, they own the publishing rights, they don't own the IP itself.. own publishing rights is different from owning IP rights..

"And that they would be in control of whether or not a PS3 port is made?"
Yes MS is in control of whether or not a PS3 port is made, but the contract!! and as the rumour of the contract being only for 2 games is true, then Epic can do whatever the hell they want with GeoW3 (may that be not making it or making it exclusively for 360/Wii/PS3)..

"It would be somewhat illegal for EPIC to make a Gears of War 2 port if Microsoft is the one publishing the game."
as long as the contract binds them, it would be illegal, but if the contract is finished, they can port it without it being illegal!!

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Probably one of the most useless sites that gets contributed to N4G daily.

Always some misleading B.S headline with somebody b*tching about something.

[dukadork2]

real thick xb!tch SPAM... why should we care about cinemablend's opinion about gaming? lol

me thinks xb!tches hurt real bad with the amazing GOW3 trailer on top of the imminent full KILLZOWNAGE...

[trancefreak]

Seriously agree and the name of their website is pretty weak too. Cinemablend lol. Go interview some movie producers!

[blackbeld]

Agree ^^^ But really droids don't cares GeoW coming or not. We got better AAA games.

[CyberCam]

should stay on the 360, it just doesn't make sense to have just a third instalment on the PS3 when the majority of the PS3 fans don't know what the story is about. Plus Microsoft is entitled to have exclusives just as much as the PS3.

[HolyOrangeCows]

''GOW 3 [sic] is not coming to the PS3''? LOL. Yeah it is!
GOW = God of War.

And Epic isn't in contract anymore. It's their decision. Although, that likely means more xbox exclusives. Cliffy seems to be afraid of expanding his audience and making more money. (That includes his not making PC games as well)

[xhi4]

That's like saying God Of War 3, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Infamous, White Knight, War Devil, Gran Turismo 5, Metal Gear Solid 4 etc. are coming to the 360

LOL

[Elven6]

HipHopGamer and Michael Patcher were saying it was coming to PS3.

[TOSgamer]

It is not the same thing. Sony owns the IP to all of those games you mentioned besides War Devil and Metal Gear. Epic owns the Gears Of War IP. Plus they only had a 2 game deal with MS. The 3rd game is up for grabs and Epic can do what it pleases with it.

[Gothdom]

if Pachter said it, then you know it won't happen.

[ProperFunked]

agreed hahahaha, so true

[xwabbit]

If u did indeed see the HipHopGamer show you would know that he said they were rumors. So don't try to put words in a guys mouth because he said that's what he was hearing.

[Variable]

MGS4 is developed by Konami (or Kojima, blabla like it matters :P), which is, just like Epic, 3rd party

[Chris399]

Classic stuff.

Oh, and on topic. Money talks and bullsh*t walks this gen. No exclusive is safe unless it is developed in house. MS does not own the Gears IP, they own publishing rights for a set number of games.

What Epic does with the Unreal Engine and the franchise is in the dark, really.

Oh, and Unreal Tournament for the PS3 showed that the engine ran perfectly well on PS3 architecture. Last Remnant proved the opposite for the 360.

[Sarcasm]

"if Pachter said it, then you know it won't happen. "

Michael Pachter is the weather-man of analysts.

[Elven6]

Maybe someone should let these guys know TGR's rumor killers segment isn't fact but speculation???

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Before some 360 fanboy comes in saying "But but GOW3 means gears of war 3!!111one!!"

No.It doesnt.God of war had it first.
Type in GOW3 on google and tell me which game comes up first :)

[Elven6]

Why can't two games use the same naming convention? The Video Gaming library is so huge such conflicts are bound to happen.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Because it doesn't work like that..

There's always idiots like this william guy who specifically chose to use
"GOW3" on the day that all the GOW3 info is released to B*tch and moan
about gears 3.

It's rather pathetic.I have no respect for him at all after that.

[HighDefinition]

Cause it would be confusing.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

ahahaha! Isn't that the kid/father picture from the forum post?
I was JUST looking at that.Funny

[HighDefinition]

I had to use it as my avatar.

[Obama]

That kid is the father? what?

[Gaara_724]

yeh the uy was 12 he got is 14 year old girl pregant now he is 13 and she is 15 WAW

[halo2_redvsblue]

Maybe the Reason that God of war 3 comes up when you google GOW3 because God of war 3 is a real game. when did epic talk about Gears 3? Just Google GOW or GOW 2 and tell me what comes up :)

[Elven6]

It dosen't matter, G.O.W. 3/III is the proper naming convention for both.

If you want to get into the gritty details, God of War has used roman numerals while Gears of War has used numbers.

So in reality GOW 3 would be Gears of War 3 and GOW III would be God of War III.

[HighDefinition]

What less complicated though, is naming it GEOW.

There is always another way to shorten it.

[ProperFunked]

isnt it supposed to be GeoW1-3 not GOW, those retardeds

[ProperFunked]

Gears of War came up.....................

same with "GOW2"..............

oh well =[

however you did say "GOW3" and yes GOW3 did come up =D

[Neoraf]

Write GOW and press enter:

Yes, that's it... Gears of War.

The GOW abbreviation is for Gears of War, even if Sony Fanboys don't like it.

The Gears of War franchise is far more popular than the God of War franchise:

Gears of War 1+2 LTD sales (around 11 millions copies sold) ang still growing fast.

God of War 1+2 LTD sales (around 6 millions copies sold)

Remember, don't ever take things for granted. Sony is not the leader anymore...

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

You guys are really smoking on the "fanboy" crackpipe if you arguing who has the right to the initial GOW. I worked with a guy with the same initials as me before. Then (for documentation) it mattered more, but still was kind of stupid.

Here it is ridiculously stupid. Got a thread on God of War, then GOW means God of War. Thread on Gears, the GOW is fine to. I know what we are talking about.

Google doesn't mean a damn thing! What are you guys...twelve?

[jams_shop]

So God Of War 3 isn't coming to the PS3? /sarcasm

[Why dis]

Sony has exclusive rights to this abbreviation?

Only sad and pathetic losers would fuss about such moronic sh*t.

[Gaara_724]

sounds like you and mgs4

[DA_SHREDDER]

Who even plays Gears anymore? Also,, Gears should be GEOW. God of War is and will forever be GOW. Gears will never be on God of War's level.

[YonasJonas]

Millions of people do.

[crystallakekiller]

Hey shredder...are you retard or what!? Oh wait....your a fanboy,its the same thing....my mistake!

[Neoraf]

You must be kidding!

The Gears franchise is far more played, far more bought, far more popular than the God franchise.

God of War 1 or 2 NEVER achieved the sales Gears of War 1 or 2 did.
Open your eyes.

The reality is in front of you.

[GEESE]

It's owned by Microsoft Game studios.
Maybe we could FUD a headline that says..GOD OF WAR III not coming to the 360!

[PirateThom]

It's not owned by Microsoft Game Studios, they only published it.

The IP and rights to the games belong to Epic. Epic had a two game deal with Microsoft.

[HighDefinition]

The first 2 games of the series were bought by MSFT, Epic owns the title.

edit: Like Pirate Thom said.

[SAiOSiN]

it'll come out on the ps4 though...lol jkjk. face the facts guys. mgs4 isnt coming to the 360 and gears isnt going to the ps3. mass effect....thats a different story though.

[lelik]

why is everyone so f$cking stupid, there are at least three people in here saying epic has a 2 game deal with microsoft yet retards keep saying gears belongs to microsoft. wtf is wrong with you?

[Aclay]

Even if Microsoft had a 2 game deal with EPIC, there's no way in HELL Microsoft would let Gears of War go multiplatform because they'd shell out the money to keep it exclusive.

I know that Cliffy B's next game is rumored to be multiplatform, but Gears of War 3 or any other Gears game for that matter isn't going to come to the PS3. The only way Gears of War would have a chance to come to the PS3 is if EPIC was acquired by another company like EA *cough* Mass Effect 2* cough*

[cmrbe]

i don't like Gears that much and it should remain on the x360. Each consoles need exclusives to justify their excistience.

[DA_SHREDDER]

Point is that nobody on the ps3 would even want to play this garbage on their system. Its pointless, we have Killzone 2, and pretty soon to have MAG. Nobody on the ps3 even talks about Gears. Nobody that I know even talks about it on xbox live. The only time I hear about Gears of War is on N4G.

[METtAL-GAMER]

Lol, why is it that whenever I see one of your comments your always talking about gears of war or as you like to call it "queers of war"?

[cmrbe]

its just that it suits the x360 crowd more. Same way shooters like SOCOM and KZ2 will not be suited to the x360 crowd.

[crystallakekiller]

Yeah i said it before...shredder=retard!!

[Black Maverick]

I didn't think there was a great cry for Gears to be on the PS3. There are plenty of great games to enjoy on the both Xbox 360 and PS3 so that fanboys don't need play the "gimme your exclusives" game.

[iceatcs]

PS3 is too good for Gears of War.

PS3 is better off with their own style not this kind of game I want to like play.

[BBsin]

Epic games does, the article editor is incorrect and needs to do more research.

[Jrome]

/sarcasm

I played Gears of War 2 at my friends house...and it wasn't even that fun :\. I just didn't like the feel and movement of the character and how big and bulky they all were.

But that's just opinion. Now I know why most of my friends with 360s didn't like Gears. But..Halo 3 is still quality online fun.

[LinuxGuru]

"I don't care!"

Moving along....

[TheMART]

If Gears of War needs to be called GeoW

Then God of War is need to be called GooW

Otherwise there still can be confusion with those that don't pay attention.

Its GooW from now on! GooW III

[DavidMacDougall]

GOW > GEOW

[thebudgetgamer]

why the extra o?

:)

[Rhoic]

Gears of War = GEars Of War... GEOW

God of War = GOd Of War = GOOW

[ps12&3lover]

who cares if its not coming,,,and no other console wanted a game more than the 360...dying for mgs4...thats all you would hear everyday...and now that theres been a few sites about gow3 coming everyone is getting crazy..wow how abot 2 years of hearing xbox wanting mgs4

[killzone2flop]

How about 1 years of hearing Droids wanting Mass Effect.

[Hallucinate]

i dont recall and 'droids' wanting mass effect or any xbox game for that matter

[n4gno]

who cares..

[ps12&3lover]

god of war should not have to change for the simple fact that the franchise has been around longer,,let gears change its words

[No Way]

"Gears of War 3 Is Not Coming To The PS3" Uhm.. Duh?

[Ghyst]

I wasn't aware anyone asked for gears of war 3 on ps3? i don't care either.

[Ghyst]

No one cares.

[cyguration]

Why are you posting about it then?

It would be cool to have the game on both systems if it were an option.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

i come here everyday and i wasnt even aware of this rumor. not that i care. gears on ps3 just doesnt click for some reason. even though MS dont own it it just seems like a game that should stay on xbox. the real GOW3 is gonna be ps3 exclusive and I'm fine with that

[tjd211]

who cares the ps3 has enough good games. let the xbox 360 keep gears

[Timesplitter14]

How unexpected...?

[Death2494]

Microsoft has only bought the rights for gears for a trilogy just like Halo. After that, Epic has the choice weather to renew the contract or go multiplatform. It's very true, that we will most likely not be seeing Gears3 on a ps3.

[Honolulu]

I think their analogy with God of War is kinda wonky.
SCE Santa Monica Studios is a part of Sony and SCE as a corporation.
As for Epic, it's an independent third party developer.

[jcgamer]

Crackdown 2, Crimson Skies 360, PGR5, Bill Gates Bowling, Aaron Greenberg's Mr. Potato Head, Where Is J. Allard?...SOMETHING...

lol

[NEVMOR]

Just have to play some better games on the PS3.

[NegativeCreep427]

Gears of War 3 isn't PS3 Bound? Oh well.

I guess Killzone 2, FFXIII Versus, Infamous, Heavy Rain, GT 5, Uncharted 2, Twisted Metal Black 2, God of War 3, WarDevil, Resistance 3, The Agency, DC Universe, MAG, Jak and Daxter: The Final Frontier, and L.A. Noire will just have to do...

[Dimitri]

hehehe exactly

pedo's arent getting anything this year haha

[Foxgod]

LA noir is multi.

[DA_SHREDDER]

Listen. The only good multiplayer shooter on the 360 right now is COD4. Ive tried and tried to get into halo, Queers of war, even Fear 2, and honestly, I always go back to COD4. Thats the only shooter on the 360 that is worth a damn. I have to admit though. COD4 plays excellent on the 360, 10 times better then on the ps3. I would even say that its the best shooter on consoles of all time. Its the only reason why Im keeping my 360 after KZ2 comes out. I guess I can let my girl use it.

[crystallakekiller]

Yeah right,a dumbass like you having a girl?!...lol

[Miraak82]

gears of WHAT!!! i only need the first and true GOW3 . let there be only CHAOS. KRATOS would annihilate marcus pheonix w/ the blink of an eye

[Bladestar]

Nor is Super Mario... so, get over it! it's not going to happen...
We are not talking about Metal Gear solid here! When games are published by a company it means something. One would think that people like yourselves that spend so much time talking about games and sites like this one would know that.

"but.. but... Bioshock..." You know one thing that all games who jump into the multi-platform wagon have in common? That they are all published by a 3rd party... and whether they are published on another platform is determine by a checkbook...

but when it comes to games published by Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo... the chances of going multiplatform are well... none...

Why do you think 007 N64 game is not on xbox live... even if microsoft owns the studio that made it?

Here is a list of all microsoft studio published games:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Do you know one thing they all have in common? None have being release on a non-Microsoft platform unless of course Microsoft want to port them to a platform where there aren't any conflict of interest... like the DS...

So, I am sorry to burst your bubble.. but based on the history of all Microsoft games... they have not publish a game that have gone multiplatform... let alone on a sony platform.

Games like Gears that are published by Microsoft are funded, marketed and distributed... and made big by Microsoft. Thanks to that Epic have on their hands a huge seller and lots of support from Microsoft to make their games better... Why would they want to ruin that.. even if Microsoft had no rights over the games they publish.

[L-a-i-n]

You do not make any since at all. Just because Microsoft published the game on the 360 does not mean another company could not publish it for the PS3. Microsoft owns nothing in the series that is fact. Epic owns the rights to do what they want with Gears after 1 and 2 are finished and they are. Epic could publish it themselves if they wanted to. NG was published by microsoft for the 360 and Tecmo for the PS3 so you reasoning is unsound. You will not see Gears 1 or 2 for the PS3 because of a contract. You also might not see Gears 3 because of another contract you never know. Only thing that is garenteed to stay exclusive is first party owned games.

[ForROME]

At this point would anyone care with GOW3 Trailer just being shown who the hell cares about Unreal Engine games anymore

[cereal_killa]

"despite whatever they hear or read from anyone else, GOW 3 [sic] is not coming to the PS3. "

Despite what this site says GOD of WAR3 aka GOW3 is coming to the PS3 they should have said Gears3 or GeOW3.

[Thoreau]

gives a d@mn about the unreal engine, and no ps3 fanboy is dying to have gears of war 3 for the ps3. it will be an xbox 360 exclusive, and if a ps3 fanboy wants to play gears of war 3, they will buy a 360, like i did(me a ps3 lover)

[Dino]

I agree

[novcze]

I`ll just wait for PC port, you don`t have to buy XB360 to play Gears

[Darrius Cole]

I thought that Epic owned the Gears of War intellectual property.

[TheLaughingMan]

Thank God :)

[God_of_War]

!

[DFresh]

Understand God of War was made by some of Sony's 1st party devs.

Gears of War is made by Epic Games a 3rd party studio so yes Gears of War can come to the PS3.

[AxeCain]

No one give a crap!

[Zool 08]

Theres only one GOW3 for me and it begins with GOD.

[Dino]

I dont want 360 games on my ps3 nor do I want Ps3 games on my 360. It makes developers work harder to outdo each other on different consoles.which means better games for us all

[HDgamer]

Unlike Halo franchise.

[TheMan004]

I'm a ps3 owner and I wouldn't mind have a gears game on the ps3, it's outstanding game. But I seriouly don't think Microsoft will let this franchise come the ps3.

[Lord Vader]

No sh!t sherlock !!!

[Hallucinate]

i could care less if gears came to ps3..and i couldn't care less if it came it was a 360 exclusive

[ps92117]

we would come to an agreement to stop saying this as well as 360 fans saying bout ffvs and ff7,but this is not a perfect world, you dumbaszes tormented us with mgs4 and the others, now its our turn, GEOW3 for ps3 on blu ray and the cell to kill the 360 version, lol very ol. lovely the 360 would not have a reason to exist if it werent for geow, just to let you know they are working in a mac version and that is no rumor. hide under your blanket and pray to hell this does not become multiplat else 360 would be worthless.

[crystallakekiller]

My god..how many retards are on this site??? One thing for sure, you are one of them!

[Bladestar]

Yeah... but at least we were smarter...

Gears is published by Microsoft.. and anyone that's have any brain knows what that means... named a Microsoft published game that have being released on another platform.. unless it does not have a conflict of interest like the DS?

Metal Gears is Not published by Sony... is published by Konami.. is made by a 3rd party... and version of Metal Gears have being made for almost every platform known to men.

Gears on the other hand only being made on a microsoft platform.

Now, I am not saying that Metal Gear will ever come to the xbox 360... since Kojima is a fanboy and love sony... but there is no legal limits nor Sony have ANY rights what so ever...

Let me put it on perspective and put it in a way you understand...

When a someone create a character like spiderman... and go to a Studio like Sony as it's the case with spiderman... does that mean that the creator can tell Sony to go to hell and change studios or publishers? Nope... as far a movie is concern only Sony can make a movie about spiderman.

Same goes with the music label...

Game publisher subsidize the cost of development, marketing and other huge expenses for a reason... isn't that obvious...

[PirateThom]

Ninja Gaiden (XBox - Microsoft Game Studios)> Ninja Gaiden Sigma (PS3 - Tecmo/Eidos)
Vampire Rain (XBox 360 - Microsoft Game Studios) > Vampire Rain: Altered Species (PS3 - Ignition Entertainment)
Top Spin (XBox - Microsoft Game Studios) > Top Spin (PS2 - 2K)

[BrianC6234]

Why does he say GOW3 isn't coming to the PS3? Last time I checked God of War is a Sony exclusive. God of War 3 is going to be huge.

[Ballistic Jay]

how this is news of any kind...

[redsquad]

Er, okay. Didn't know there WAS a rumour about GeOW3 coming to PS3.

[mastiffchild]

No, you're dead right-there wasn't. At least not one ANYBODY believed for even a millisecond and noone talked about it 'til Rumour Killers, erm, killed it. Gears isn't coming to Sony and we know that just like U2, GOW3 etc wont be going to MS after the money and work MS put into their patnership with Epic why would they let their (possibly these days)biggest seller go to another platform when they even denied the second game to their PC crowd(which upset me a little tbh)? They wouldn't and this was NEVER a rumour that anyone gave credence to so cant we forget it? Slow news week much?
Now Mass Effect2 is a game where the rumour could possibly be true(not saying they are mind)but that's because of the different situation and the fact that MS don't own publishing rights to the series AND EA bought the creators(Bioware) last year and have a habit of being fully multi platform. So, grounds for a rumour at least but not where Gears series is concerned at all and nobody ever thought there was. NOBODY!

[Gobuz]

GEOW is not owned by Microsoft, the IP is owned by Epic Games.

Microsoft paid for publishing rights for Geow 1 & 2, that has now finished. It's up to Epic Games what they want to do now with GEOW 3, not Microsoft. If Microsoft secures publishing rights again then they will have GEOW 3 exclusive.

If they don't then GOEW 3 will go Multi-platform, i would imagine if Microsoft where going to say something about GEOW 3 they would do it at E3.

GEOW is no longer exclusive to Microsoft until that happens, i hope Xbots will shut up now and just wait and see what happens.

[donnie-2105]

microsoft would buy epic outright rather than lose there 2nd most famous exlusive associated with the xbox brand.if they paid 50 million just for gta iv DLC think what money they would give epic to keep gears on xbox

[volcane]

It is up to Epic whether they want to go multiplatform with the Gears of War IP, and it could be feasible because the PS3 has a growing install base and in this day and age it might be better to have a lot more people to sell your games to, so as to maximise profits.

[BIGBOSS08]

if your 3rd party and your loyal to one console its stupid! all exclusives should be 1st party games. if your 3rd party why would you limit the sales of your game? if i was a developer i would put my game on as many systmes as possible. either epic really like the 360 or microsoft are paying them huge sums of money to keep it on one console.

[tee_bag242]

Well if its true...GOOD.. Ill just have to get it on 360 instead. Let the ps3 do what it does best... EXCLUSIVES.

[XtreemGamer]

Well,i dont care Gears3 is coming or not to PS3... Killzone 2 is better then Gears2 and God of war 3 will be better then Gears 3.. so i dont need less good games when i can get the best games...

[devilhunterx]

GOW3 is coming to the PS3. Gears3 might not be.

[RedVsBlue]

LMAO so now Sony Fannies are expecting all 360 exclusives on the PS3 or something ? I guess they lost their right to whine about those MGS 360 rumors lol

[BIGBOSS08]

all 360 exclusives? give me the name of some exclusives? banjo kazooe! haha.

[BIGBOSS08]

yeh and who ever said it was? anyway why would ps3 owners care abut gears of war when they have god of war 3.

[sGIBMBR]

google "GoW" see what comes up ;)

[maverick1191]

tbh i couldnt care less if it came because kz2 sh!ts on it xbox fanboys you know it does so stop moaning

[pete2711]

Good. Well doesn't matter really as i wouldn't of bought it.

[kodiak]

Hhahaha
its 360 exclusive
cry me a river pstards

[pete2711]

I don't think anyone cares to be honest lol

[wanaraceu]

Dont care as i like FPS not TPS...Well Drakes was cool

[Lawliet]

This is an article? Can he himself even be considered as a game journalist? I mean, this is nothing more than just a speculation by an anonymous! Just who is there to clarify it as fact? Him? Please, game journalist, do your job by bringing us NEWS not this piece of junk speculation! You cinemablend.com got the gutz to complain about Hiphopgamer show but just look at what your pulling out now.

[killcycle]

A friend on psn deleted me last week because we ere argueing whether or not geo2 was hitting ps3.

I kept trying to get him to bring me some proof of his theory and he just sent me links to cheap articles created by fans.

Funny stuff.

[Gamer luv]

Strange because people are saying its a 2 game deal when it was announced just after gears 1 that it was a trillogy deal.

But hey u ps3 owners think gears sucks so why bother?

[Shazly]

Yes, it will be on ps3 !

[dalibor]

Time will tell, if it does come to the ps3 dang... a lot of 360fans will probably be pissed off like a tea kettle going off. Right now I don't care b/c killzone 2 is about to come out, I need to get something other than a fps really. Add the to the fact I haven't played Geow2 yet so I would have no idea wtf is going on in Geow3. I can't wait to get Motorstorm:PR to help diverse my collection, that & Gow3 including Uncharted2. Still waiting for Einhander 2 or Twisted Metal to come out... hopefully sometime soon..

[Daves]

Face bothered? TBH, I don't care. Enough for me to play on PS3

[God_of_War]

We dont need Gears of war3..we got plenty of other games.......
Xbox aint getting God of war 3 either.so we are all even........

[smurfie4]

I'm so hurt.
/sarcasm

[anubis12]

they want it so bad.....but they have quantum emo theory...darn.......LOL

[Sty]

np, I will get it on pc, like halo 3 will come to pc and gears of war 2 and 3 will :D

[anubis12]

^^^^^ good Microsoft thanks you for still supporting them and the consoles

[miasma]

and just recently finish Gears 2, loved Gears 1, Gears 2 bored the hell out of me. i am not going to bother with Gears 3....

[Scary69]

And this website is SO reliable. No one knows what coming out for what system. If the creators of GOW want to release it to the PS3 I could care less. GOW is not the greatest thing since apple pie. As usual N4G and their lame stories.

[Enigma_2099]

Oh you kid...

[maspi]

"Just like God of War -- and how Sony owns the rights to it as trademarked property and that means it won’t be appearing on the Xbox 360"
really this guy doesn't know anything.Santa monica studios god of war's developer are sony internal studios...sony's property.Sony don't need to owns the rights from a third party studio.Gears of war is trademarked property of Epic games.And Epic Games is indipendent.there's a deal with Microsoft for the two gears of war,sure.but for the future who knows.however if gears of war 3 is not coming to ps3 WHO CARES! if I want to play this game I buy an Xbox360.

[knucklebusster]

I don't give a RAT's ASS!

[Guldevito]

Who cares? Well I guess alot of people cus all the comment but I could give a rats ass about GOW and the g is for gears not god!

[thehitman]

Rofl @ this article no where I see a rumor killed, no where did I see a quote or link to Epic rep saying no gears on ps3 in futre. How this get approved? Just some random guy with a random rant w/ poor to no evidence of no gears for ps3 in future. Epic can and could put gears on ps3 and I am pretty sure they would do a damn good job after UT3. Too bad UT3 doesnt have split screen/better story because they nailed the gameplay and graphics.

BTW I would be happy if they put gears on ps3. Its only 360 exclusive that I wish I had my paws on.

[kelvin22]

n4g i think you need a filter for garbage like this first of all the sony owners never said they ever wanted a gears of war series on the ps3 second of all this is a rumor for sure this is just to get xbox fanboys started again on why the xbox 360 is infact better which it most definetly is not.

[TheOutsider]

Graphics are so last gen , gameplay sux might as well play OO7 on N64 to get same gameplay! PS3 to powerful for that crap anyways! So thank god it aint coming!!!!

[-IronMan-]

Who cares. Killzone 2 is better its obvious. 32 player online, graphics is better etc...

360 is already maxed out according to alot of developers. :P

Killzone2, God Of War3, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo 5, White Knight Chronicles, Demon Souls, etc.. etc... PS3 ONLY!!!

As well as third party support... Street Fighter 4, RE5, etc.. :P

PS3 BEST!

[omgwownoobs]

the game sucks in general it is not anything special at all slow paced action is 360faboy favorite afterall

[cyguration]

Didn't m$ sign a deal to publish 3 Gears games?

http://www.hexus.net/conten...

So why does everyone keep saying that somehow MS will stop with two?

[Expy]

GOW = God of War.

Which is EXCLUSIVE to PS3 you "journalist".

Use proper abbreviations. kthx.

[L-a-i-n]

Gears is a great game don't get me wrong. I wouldn't cry if it was on the PS3. Do I think it will most likely not. If not doesn't matter either the PS3 has great games coming down the pipe. Untile Epic says "No, Gears of War 3 is not coming to the PS3" A story like this is pointless. Without proof you have no substance to even write the article. We will find out soon enouph if it is or not. So don't worry about and focus on playing games that you know are coming this year.

[iEternal]

...but we don't want your Gears of War. Keep it.

[grantps3]

1 in a million?

so your saying theres a chance.

[Renewman]

The chances of GeoW3 coming to PS3 is slim to none. However, with all of the good quality exclusives coming out for the PS3 this year, the 360 can keep it for all I care.

[WildArmed]

Yes.. such a disappointment indeed... /end sarcasm.

Leave Gears on 360, since it helps the gamers by competition.
Plus, i dont think they excel in programming for the ps3.. so i dont want a crappy port or w/e. Unreal Engine aint ps3's ballpark.

And quite frankly, ps3 doesnt need GeOW3 atm. Its doing fine, and so is MS.

[ajay_solidsnake]

No we don't want that TRASH !!!

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

the IP is fantastic the tech is for PC's So:
I doubt if it can live up to hype considering it is maxed out on 360pc and the engine shows its age!! against Cell Rsx games,
we have new pc video cards aswell and Ip's out now, this game is old news already because it is a PC engine that is outdated!!!

Who really cares!!!!!!
I would care if it were for the new Nvidia GTX 295 cards boasting 1GB or ram!!
Then i would really care !!
BUT 360 is old crap pc tech.

[MicroSony4Life]

to go to the PS3 just so PS3 fan boys can admit that the game is very good and it deserves allot of credit and because its on the 360 for some reason the game sucks. Same goes for Kill zone 2, its an amazing game but because its on the PS3 the game sucks.

[Rhezin]

bubbles grant. "Husband?! So what was all that 1 in a million talk?"

[HyDRo-X1]

(YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNN) I care why?

[FFXI101]

If it does happen(that Gears coming to PS3), great. If not, is not the end of the world. We still have lots great titles.

[crazyclown]

boo hoo

[tonywood]

Who cares what this article is talking about....The Gears franchise is done. the online (Except Horde mode) isn't very good. The game is the same as Gears 1, which shows that there is not much more that can be done to excite gamers...regardless what the overrated 9.5 ratings state.

Sony has the better line up of exclusive this year, as well as last year. People are crying about the price of the machine, as if you are suppose to get something for nothing. Anyway, in 2009....Sony will deliver the knock out blow in Killzone 2, the better (control set up wise) Street Fighter 4, The Agency, Infamous, God of War 3, and Heavenly Rain. OH...forgot all about the new Grand T. I'm sure there will be a Gears RPG as well...as if RPG's even sell well on Xbox. It's a wrap on the RROD's...I mean the 360's. Fanboy or not, the facts are in the line ups this year, which speaks for them selves. JUST IMAGINE IF MSOFT DIDN'T SPEND THE CHEDDAR ON ALL THE FORMER SONY PLAYSTATION FRANCHISES? With the exception of those, all they have for 09 is Halo Wars and Recon. I think Ninja Blade will be good, but so was Ninja Gadien 1 & 2, and they did not sell well at all on the Xbox system. Alan Wake won't be out this year....so don't bring it up.

[AriesFury]

who said that it was coming to the PS3 anyway?

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

For those three years they been writing these rumors in thier moms basement, eating cheese puffs, and sniffing butt crack wishing they had this game.

[MiztaToungueTwista]

GOD OF WAR = GOD OF GAMES !

[Alucard_420]

thats funny N4G had a article that was saying gears will be more then a trilogy lol

[wardende]

Killzone 2 is standard issue!! Another same old same old FPS, It will not get the sales that GOW1, GOW2 and GOW3 will get on the 360. It will not get the sales of Halo Wars which comes out the same day, it will not get the sales of HALO 3, Killzone 2 is a standard issue game!! Get over it!!

Gears of War franchise will NEVER COME TO PS3. You can keep MGS4, I got fed up with the endless cut scenes after the second game on the PS2.

[frictionini]

PS3 doesn't need Gears of War, it's too generic just like other M$ exclusives(some, not all, admit it).

pew pew pew

[W S K]

and THAT is a good thing...

not only because every console needs his exclusives.....no

because "almost" every PS3 owner says how $hit this game is and that it stands nothing against Killzone 2.... bla, bla, bla....

I must confess that i never played any Gears of War game (only the first one on PC for about 10 minutes) and i simply dont got hooked.
But the second one looked really interesting (and i might get the "super limited special extended directors cut trilogy metalbox" :-P *little joke* if its ever released)

so i dont really say that the PS3 gamers dont deserve to play that game... but.... yeah.... in a kind of way they dont (if they only can compare it graphics wise to other games) though i know that i dont can speak for every person

some games need to stay on one console (like gran turismo on the ps3)

you need to have exclusive titles to sell your console... that was, is and will always be that way.

[Jonny Drama]

"I don't know how many times it has to be repeated, reiterated, redundantly reinforced and repetitively reproached, but gamers really, really need to understand that despite the hype, despite the news, despite whatever they hear or read from anyone else,MGS4,Uncharted,killzone2, mag,lbp,socom,GOWIII,GT5,Blast Factor,lair,dc universe,HAZE<-underrated), heavenly sword,Heavy rain,Naruto:Ultimate Ninja Storm,Motorstorm1,2 are not coming to the XBOX 360. This "article" reeks of phail

[AKNAA]

why do I say this? simply because the PS3 will No longer have a good competition anymore. If the only thing that MS has to compete with Sony is Halo and GOW3 becomes multi-plate, then its over for the 360.Period. Don't denie it.. Killzone 2, uncharted 2, heavy Rain, God of war 3, quantrum theory, GT5, infamous, white knight chronicles, then add gears of war 3 with this line-up and thats the end of the console wars....
