Gears Of War on PS3, Why not ?

Now lets admit it! Microsoft did it twice – FFXIII & Metal Gear – and if Sony believes in Newton's law and they are considering an equal response on the opposite direction they wont find a better chance...

[FlipMode]

but sony doesnt need to use dirty tactics and steal exclusives to make their console better

[Gamer_Politics]

Sony has been doing dirty tactics since the original playstation...i guess you forgot all the dirt that company has done to Sega

[thebudgetgamer]

Sega killed Sega not Sony.

[RememberThe357]

They're doing fine now, so there is really no problem.

I doubt that Sony would have Tecmo make Quantum if they were planning to take the Gears of War exclusivity.

[topdawg122]

I would gladly take Gears 3 on the ps3, i love that game, one of the few games i play on the 360.

[The Wood]

MS needs its identity because many outside of the xbox camp just see their tactics as the 'me too' type. I hope it stays exclusives even though i prefer sony's platform. To be honest MS are lacking on true exclusives especially of the high calibre (dont shoot me as i still consider console exclusives as true exclusives because i personally dont have a pc capable of playing any of the games to the quality of the xbox but this may not be the case for others though). The lack of studios has really taken its toll for the 360 in 09 and only the most ardent of fanboys cant see that.

[Greywulf]

list 10 things Sony has stolen from Sega/nintendo/Microsoft or in General.

[Rainstorm81]

PS3 has the King of Third Person action adverture shooters Uncharted series.

Keep the horrible Unreal textures & Bad animations like the "Roadie Run" <======= WTF

[ShabzS]

blame square enix and konami for going with the platform with more install base to keep their buisness afloat during the tough times ...

[Maddens Raiders]

Flip Mode said.

[Willio]

Funny thing is that had Square-enix sold their rpgs on ps3 simultaneously or exclusively, they would have done much better in sales. Instead, they got compensated with cash (even though its only rumored).

[leila01]

Sony paying for exclusives and DLCs is good, but other companies applying the same tactics is bad. Ok, got it.

[leila01]

Same could be said about Insomniac, SuckerPunch or even Sega, but of course that wont occur to you.

[kevnb]

microsoft did nothing to sony. Sony wasnt publishing mgs or final fantasy in the first place, publishers thought it was viable to have those two series on the xbox 360 and didn't see much profit to be made on the wii for those particular games. Gears on ps3 is equivalent to Resistance on xbox 360, cant see either happening.

[kevnb]

well according to sony fanboy logic

1. Final Fantasy stolen from Nintendo
2. Metal Gear stolen from Nintendo
3. Trophies/Achievements stolen from Microsoft
4. Dragon Quest stolen from Nintendo (but Nintendo got it back)
5. Rumble/Analog sticks stolen from Nintendo
6. Online play stolen from Sega (we are still talking fanboy logic)
7. Soul Calibur stolen from Sega
8. Resident Evil 4 stolen from Nintendo
9. Viewtiful Joe stolen from Nintendo
10.live arcade/ psn stolen from Microsoft

not hard, especially with fanboy goggles. Heck im a sony fan too, but stop making stupid excuses for them losing exclusives.

[freitox]

I believe resistance ip is owned by sony, but I could be wrong. Gears ip is not owned by Microsoft, so it could happen.

[biloz]

that was funny m8,,,

[rockleex]

That Sony already took Bioshock, Ninja Gaiden, Tales of Vesperia, etc.

There's nothing wrong with FFXIII being on the 360. But seeing as how Square hasn't even released the PS3 version of The Last Remnant... -_-"

Anyways, the point is that 3rd parties want to make more money... unless they're Square Enix. S-E is only interested in one thing.

S-E Vice President: "We don't want the PlayStation 3 to be the overwhelming loser, so we want to support them. But we don't want them to be the overwhelming winner either, so we can't support them too much."

final fantasy 13 and metal gear!.................microsof t.............THOSE BASTARDS!

[Sayai jin]

Ummm, it's not dirty business tactics, it's plain 'ol business. A company that offers more products for their consumer.

[N4Flamers]

to above I agree with everything except the R.I.P. nintendo part. I dont think any company has to make any excuses for themselves, games are a business. If you dont like it dont buy them. I think nintendo has decided to keep the family friendly thing because parents will all ways think of that company first when deciding for their kids.

on topic:

Its hard to say but I would buy gears on ps3 if both versions were equal just because of the free online. With that said I dont think the ps3 needs it. It has a ton of really well made exclusives. The 360 has 3 good exclusive series these days. Halo, Gears, and fable. Ok forza too but im not a racer.

[JD_Shadow]

Umm...is that the only response you people have when this topic is brought up? "Oh, Sony did it then and it was immoral then, so we'll do it now and it'll be okay for us now". That's not only false because they didn't exactly do anything like that to anyone then, but also hypocritical because you're condemning the assumed actions of one company then, but condoning the exact same actions from another company now. Please tell me the logic in that.

By the way, about this article...Metal Gear wasn't exactly TAKEN because we kind of knew and accepting that Konami was going to put A MG game onto the 360. The whole thing about "stealing something" would've been if it was Metal Gear Solid 4, which the game WASN'T. Not sure why people keep confusing what the whole issue was. 360 owners GOT a MG game, but it wasn't the game they were all hyping up the rumors about.

[Immortal Kaim]

Some of you guys are so F'n delusional, you think Sony's sh*t don't stink. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Sony (like any of the current industry corporations) would do anything to get ahead (and thus generate more revenue), this includes 'stealing exclusives', shafting indie developers and whatever else you guys b*tch about constantly...

GET OVER IT!!!

[All-3]

When someone 'steals ' something... it's without any payments and something is removed from somewhere.

Which stolen video game doesn't the PS3 have - that the Xbox 360 now has exclusively?

Also - FF XIII is also going to be on the PC... so according to a certain fanbase's definition of an exclusive - FF XIII was never one.

[lokin]

from VGafrica.com: Halo moving to PS3? Why not?./(with bad grammer promised!) You guys really think MS is going to let this one slip? An IP that helped them sell alot of 360's?

[FamilyGuy]

"7. Soul Calibur stolen from Sega
8. Resident Evil 4 stolen from Nintendo"

What? Resident Evil started on PS as did Soul Blade which became Soul Calibur in sequel...

Stolen, two games?
Ace Combat
The Last Remnant
Star Ocean 4

Gained access to is more like it for
FFXIII
MG:R
Tekken 6
GTA 4
Devil May Cry 4

I don't expect any 3rd party studio to have loyalty since it is and should be about the money for such companies. I also think sony should have made the good ones, that 360 supporters consider victories for getting, into 1st party if it was within their financial means.

I'm sure there's a deal in place that keeps the Gears of War franchise exclusive so don't get your hopes up. I don't think Sony needs it so it be a waste of their money to buy that over giving us the great quality games they've been releasing.

[ThaOutKast]

what microsoft is doing is dirty tactics, it's called business and MS had like 7 good games last gen and They are still basically newcomers and need recognizable IPs on their system. Sony did the same thing with Metal Gear and Final Fantasy from Nintendo in the PS1 days. Please before you hit the downvote button just think about this for a minute, I am not dissing Sony or MS, and if I'm wrong about something just respond and correct me don't downvote me.

[MisterNiwa]

I forgot that Metal Gear was a Nintendo Game!! ... Wait what?

It was made on MSX, a Sony Computer System.

Metal Gear on NES wasnt even from Kojima, and so wasnt Snakes Revenge, that shockes you, right? Lololol.

Oh wait, Nintendo stole the Analog Stick from Atari! Oh no!
And Xbox invented the Online Plattform!! But Sony Stole the Online Play from Sega! So Xbox stole from Sony who stole from Sega! And Sega stole from Super Nintendo !!

Oh gosh, your List lacks sooo much stuff dude, you are a idiot.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

So keeping a game exclusive is fine, but having it on multiple platforms is dirty tactics to steal exclusives and not a smart business decision that any moron would do.

Furthermore, why is it so freaken important that a game is exclusive other than to feed your immature elitist ego?

Fact is no matter of moaning here is going to change anything. The market has spoken so get used to it!!!

[vhero]

MS paid for 2 game exclusivity this is a FACT as they didn't know how popular it would be. So the first 2 games would probably never his the PS3 unless that was a timed exclusive deal. We all know though the UT team prefer working with PS3 over the 360 as they had a lot more support from Sony. As we all remember them trying to release the free map pack and MS not letting them. GOW on PS3 means free maps for the game. What more could you want?

[cloud 279]

MS will not allow Gears 3 to go on the PS3, even if their contract ended, and even if the game did make it to the PS3 there will be very less buyers. Reason being PS3 gamers haven't played Gears 1&2. I'm not saying about consumers who have multiple consoles and can play gears on 360. Gears is a triple A title for MS which they aren't willing to slip from their hands. Same as Sony losing any third party triple A title. (Sorry couldn't think of any PS3 exclusive third party title released exclusively)

**Mind went blank**

[FamilyGuy]

Epic seems comfortable enough developing for the PS3, they were some of the first with petty even ports so I think M$ WILL (and have) need pay for the series to stay exclusive. The only thing that COULD stop them is M$ offering the cash as they COMPLETELY own the Gears name. Parts 1 and might not have a chance to go PS3-side but until M$ signs a new exclusivity deal the third Gears is completely possible.

[SoapShoes]

I'd rather just have Sony fund their own projects. Sony's games at top notch and if Epic wants to put Gears on PS3 then so be it, I don't think it will help Sony any since it's just a multiplatform game.

[cliffbo]

sony did`nt steal games from ninty or anyone the games were made on playstation because of the larger storage and memory and better capabilities.
this was true at the time as none of the other consoles were as capable.

[grantps3]

i admit that i would buy it if it came to ps3, but honestly i dont care. with uncharted, killzone, resistance, GT5, LBP,god of war ect. my wallet just couldnt take it.

[CaitSith]

On Topic: No, Xbox 360 has their exclusives and Sony has theirs. Let's keep it at that.

[jessupj]

I still don't believe MS 'stole' Metal Gear. Metal Gear Rising is a completely new game and it's a completely different genre. Hideo even basically said it's not a proper metal gear game and he won't be as heavily involved like the others. Until Metal gear 5 or a Metal Gear Solid game comes to the 360, I won't consider it stolen.

Having said that I'm sure Rising is going to be an awesome game

[Orange]

Sony didn't publish Metal Gear or Final Fantasy and did not own the rights to the IP. Microsoft published Gears and owns the rights to the IP.

There's nothing more to say. It'll never happen. Save your keystrokes.

[Shmotz]

Took the words right out of my mouth.

[Mr Tretton]

MS published 2 Gears games, but however does not own the IP. Epic does.

The deal between them is also only for 2 games.

[evilmonkey501]

Microsoft has a two game deal to keep the first Gears of War sequel Xbox 360 exclusive, but after that Epic's free to put it on whichever console it likes.

You last link has a final post that says this:

"ok, but i wouldn't use random forum links as proof..."

And people get upset when I mention this but Gears 2 is running internally at Epic on the PS3. Why? I don't know but they have it up and running to include Multiplayer with Gamespy middleware.

I don't know why they went to the lengths of getting all of the menus up as well. I have asked for someone here to provide a reasonable explanation before. Maybe they had to force Microsoft's hand. That's a lot of work to scare a publisher, particularly where they bothered to engineer areas that wouldn't be required just to force someone into buying exclusivity. But they have it running.

And yes, Epic is the sole owner of the Gears of War IP. Remember Jade Empire. Published by Microsoft...on the Xbox but a different publisher on the PC - Take2.

Morganfell - 226 days, 9 hours ago:

"How can it be a proper versus when they are on the same platform?

Gears of War 2 is in development right now for the PS3. Seriously. Just go ask. Four levels of Gears of War 2 on the PC were already given out to everyone on the Unreal Developers Network.

People were asking for copies of Gears 2 on the PS3 and they finally posted a sticky on the developers forums that says "Do not ask for copies of Gears of War 2 on the PS3. We are only giving out copies of titles that have already shipped to retail.

They already have Gears 2 MP running for the PS3 using the Gamespy middleware.

There is no doubt Gears 3 will be on the PS3 as well."

Morganfell - 226 days, 6 hours ago:

"Here is what you are missing. I don't care if Gears 2 comes to the PS3. I have played the 4 PC levels and frankly it is a little *yawn* and predictable.

But that doesn't change the facts. Gears 2 is coming to the PS3 and all of your naysaying and sophomoric name calling does not change the fact that in 2009 MS is going to take a huge hit as Gears 2 is announced as going to the PS3."

Morganfell - 226 days, 2 hours ago:

"At least learn to read. As I said I am not the first one to know. Just the first one to say something. People need to think how dumb they are going to feel when this gets announced. It should start bothering the perceptive that I am being so sure this is going to happen. There should be an alarm bell or two.

I haven't posted anything here I couldn't back up before. I am not starting now. The smart people are at least saying they will take a wait and see attitude. Think about it."

' I haven't posted anything here I couldn't back up before. '

Lol? Where's Gears 2 for PS3?! o.O

[ukilnme]

Guess I hurt somebody's little feelings and got myself banned to the Open Zone. First my PS3 broke and now this. Glad my 360 and Wii still work. See you all in a couple of weeks.

[morganfell]

Oh look ^^^^ it's another person that cannot read. Let me put it in preschool language for you. Gears of War 2 is running on the PS3 at Epic. Why? Someone give a good reason. I don't know why. I did say that you don't go to the lengths they have unless you are going to market and at this stage I thought they would have already announced it. They have been at this for a while. So I was incorrect on an announcement. But my supposition wasn't based on flights of fancy but rather hard evidence. Gears is on the PS3 at Epic.

If you were more than a 14 year old in a bedroom staring at the big wide world. People with the right access know full well the details of Gears 2 on the PS3 (for whatever reason.)

When you are a developer with a U3 license, you can obtain copies of titles that use the Unreal 3 engine. You just request them and Epic mails them out. On the forum for the Unreal Developers Network there was a sticky that stated "Do not request copies of Gears of War 2 on the PS3. We are only sensing out copies of titles that have already shipped to retail." WTF?

The point is if you do not like the news do not blame me. I am not the one that got Gears of War 2 up and running on the PS3. I am not the one that left bug reports from the PS3 version on the network in a place they shouldn't have been left so that anyone could find them. I am not the one that posted that sticky on the developer's forum. Don't like the fact that Gears 2 is running on the PS3 (for some reason) then blame Epic and stop crying.

@Arnon. Look at what I wrote,

"I don't care if Gears 2 comes to the PS3. I have played the 4 PC levels and frankly it is a little *yawn* and predictable."

I and any other U3 developer that cared to download it has played 4 levels of Gears 2 on the PC. You run them from the Dev console but you can use either a controller or a KB/M setup.

2009 isn't over yet buddy. I stated that over 200 days ago. If MS stepped in and threw the money at Epic to lock down an eternal exclusive then I can't change that.

But the fact is development was running full steam ahead on the PS3. If you can't accept that then I could care less what you think. On the other hand you apparently believe me so important that you care a great deal about what I have to say.

[Arnon]

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."

And honestly, I do care what you say, but not in the way you're thinking. I care because I find it interesting, yet you have no proof to back any of your statements up, and have not done so for over 200 days.
I'm not trying to burn you down, or hate on you, or anything. I just want to see the proof, man, and I think a lot of other people would like to as well.

[likedamaster]

Gears of War series, only on Xbox 360. Get it while its hot!

[morganfell]

I have met Mark on 4 separate occasions. He is a businessman. Do you really expect him to acknowledge what Epic is doing internally? How is his reply any different from anyone else in this industry when they are under a particular agreement...until said agreement ends.

And as I have asked on this site REPEATEDLY - give me an explanation of why Gears 2 is running on the PS3. You can think what you want of various explanations, but they are running Gears 2 on the PS3. Period. Why are they doing it internally. Why bother to fix issues such as the ambient occlusion on the PS3 version? I have seen the work. Sorry pal, you can be sour all you want. They have gone to great lengths to get the entire Gamespy Multiplayer functioning on the PS3 running Gears 2. Why? Why? Why?

Mark isn't going to publically acknowledge anything he is not ready or allowed to at this time. And as I said that was over 200 days ago. Why did they bother? I could really care less at this point. But facts, well facts are stubborn things no matter how mad they make certain people.

By the way, one series of bug reports on the PS3 version was left on the PUBLIC server for anyone to grab. It stayed there for 2 days until someone told Epic and they removed them. Anyone that would have browsed the FTP would have found them.

[Orange]

whoops! i'm a little late to respond. for all of you cut-and-pasting the TM and copyright claims, remember that these things are alienable, which means if they sign a contract with MS saying that MS has been assigned the TM and copyrights, then MS owns them by assignment.

but, maybe you're right that it's only for 2 games. if so, good. i would love to see GW3 on PS3.

[Babble]

Terrible article, grammar is amazingly bad.

[moeqawama]

another reason as to why the hell people approve bad articles on this site these days

[cayal]

I wouldn't even claim Metal Gear. It was never PS3 exclusive.

[rockleex]

The MGS universe is NOT PlayStation 3 exclusive.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

It may already be and I don't know nor do I care.Mass effect and.........idk,let's go with Alan Wake.They can have the rest.Gears is an acquired taste,most things are.

Hate and disinterest being two different things,as are believing and knowing.Throw a little gas on the fire.......if you absolutely must.

[Cenobia]

Actually, I think Mass Effect has a better chance of going to the PS3 than Gears. I'm sure MS will do whatever it takes to keep Gears an exclusive. It sells consoles. Epic just has to stick out their hat and they'd be buried in dump truck's full of money.

Personally, I'd rather see Gears on the PS3 because I didn't particularly care for Mass Effect when I played it on the PC. It felt a bit bland and I didn't like the combat or elevator rides (I rode one elevator 3 times because I forgot something, and just gave up). I can't deny its a great game, just not to my liking. Maybe it was the path I took or something.

I don't see Alan Wake going to the PS3 either. I don't know who owns what for that IP, but MS has a lot banking on that game so I doubt they'll let it go.

[JD_Shadow]

Just wanted to point out that, with this, just because MS will do things to try to keep it exclusive doesn't necessarily mean that Epic will accept any of them.

Epic will look out for Epic. If they feel that keeping the game 360 exclusive will be a good thing, then that will be what they will do, but if they feel like the PS3 needs some Gears love, then they will do just that. Remember, Epic doesn't have to look out for MS because they are not owned BY MS, so all they have to do to the offers is a "thanks but no thanks" for Pandora's Box to open up.

And if you remember, MS tried to BUY Epic before last year, but Epic refused the offer MS gave them because they thought MS was shortchanging them, and that was BEFORE the recession, and when MS was really opening up their wallets to all the DLC and third parties (as in, it was more open then than it probably is NOW). That should tell you something about what could transpire in the future if Epic were to need to negotiate with MS about GoW exclusivity.

[Cenobia]

Oh, I understand that perfectly, but I don't think Epic would really need that much convincing. Gears sells like hotcakes on the 360, so if MS were to throw additional money their way I could see them considering keeping it exclusive. They would avoid dev times and costs, and still have phenomenal sales.

If anything they might go 360 first and then PS3 later. That would probably make the most sense. If MS does pay for timed exclusivity, Epic could make a killing off of the next Gears game (threaten to release them at the same time and MS would pay for timed exclusivity, assuming they do that of course).

I hope it comes to the PS3, but Epic does have reasons not to bring it. Personally I hope the 'reasons to' outweigh the 'reasons not to', but we'll have to wait and see.

[cmrbe]

I am all for console exclsuives. Keep it to x360 this gen i say. Its not like PS3 fans need it anyway.

Epic will have to compromise their vision of Gears 3 if they have to think of the PS3 as well. Any true gamer will not want that to happen.

[Jacobite]

maney gamers have both consoles anyway, pretty well covered

[cmrbe]

and thats the way it should be. If a gamer wants the best and experience every games, they should be prepared to buy all consoles.

Thats the way it has been since the dawn of console gaming and thats the way it should remain for the present and the future.

I don't know if I agree with that. Even though I don't think I would ever play it (I might play it out for the trophies if it was made a reality), but I wouldn't say for them to keep it on the 360 if it was a possibility. I'm all for more games, regardless of what it could be.

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

I almost wouldn't care if it did, Gears2 was a monumental dissapointment in my eyes - they totally cut the balls off the shotgun and introduced a bunch of boring weapons. Gears2 just didn't have the balance that 1 had.

2. A plethora of advertising controversies with the PSP
3. The Ghostbusters controversy (Not enough is known at this point to draw a conclusion so leave it neutral blame for now)
4. "The PS2 can be used to launch nuclear warheads"
5. "...we were the first console to market to use CD's" (The Saturn came out before the PS, going even further I think Atari had a system as well)
6. Rootkits issues

Don't get me wrong, this list can be made for almost any company, but to deny the existence of such a list especially in the gaming industry is idiotic for even fanboys to do.

I thought this game was pretty awesome, even though i prefer ps3, i would gladly have this game on ps3. Much better than gameplay than halo and one of the best games this gen. Wouldn't play online though as its not that great.

[Edae13]

Why would they want this crap on ps3?Because
it makes $$$ besides i will enjoy FFXIII and Metal Gear Rising

[UP]

No thanks. in my opinion Sony does not need gears they have their own games.

[PotNoodle]

Sure, sony may not need gears of war.

But they would be silly to refuse one of the most successful new IP's this generation and i know for a fact they would not refuse the chance to get it on their platform if they were offered.

[PotNoodle]

While Epic probably could get it on other consoles since they do own the franchise, the fact is Microsoft will be waving cheques at them, cheques with big figures on them that they couldn't refuse.

Microsoft knows that it has a big popular game on its hands and will try its hardest to keep it exclusive to their platform.

So unless the next gears of war game flops in sales and the franchise looses its appeal to the general public to the point where microsoft don't mind letting it go, then i highly doubt we will see a PS3 version of gears of war.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Screw waving check's, MS has already invested heavily in the IP and have a serious vested interest in it. I highly doubt MS's interests are not protected when it comes to what they've already put into it.

Look at the credits in both the games, the number of MS employees involved with the game matches all of Epic's personal.

[Persistantthug]

The game is "old" and doesn't move major units anymore. The only thing that could happen is for the game to have a nice spike in sales because it goes console mulitplatform.....Good for Epic.

Basically, Microsoft has already gotten its use out of the game already.

[Spike47]

Halo? Nah, call me weird but I end up picking up shooters like Bad Company instead for some reason.

[KingKionic]

I thought you were looking forward to Halo Reach....

[Amir51]

Gears of War > Mass Effect > Halo

Before bioshock on ps3 that wouldve been above mass effect.

Either way though i have a pc to play these games

[ukilnme]

My PS3 just died on me and KZ2 is stuck inside. No lights or anything.

Edit: I know this is off topic.

[Rainstorm81]

with infamous stuck inside .....AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!

[NaiNaiNai]

Mine did the same thing along time ago, Had FF7 disk 2 in it, >.> 3 days later it fixed its self i was like.

OMG YES, grabbed the controller and was all over it. XD

[ukilnme]

I was honestly expecting my 360 to go first. I am about to hit up Sony to get it repaired. I gotta have my PS3. I have 2 months left on my 360's warranty from Best Buy, time to swap it out just to be safe.

[Rainstorm81]

.......

[Nitrowolf2]

did it twice, mybe i really wouldnt count it for mgs, mybe if it was mgs4 or exclusive but i really would not count it as one because they did not steal it exclusiveness like they did with FF13

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Never gonna happen if you want to play this excellent game you need to get a 360(Gears 2).

I miss out on nothing and I don't ever have to wonder if I will get to play something that I want. At least so far. Ah, it's good to own both systems.

[ukilnme]

Cheers to that GEC. I'll be back in biz as soon as my PS3 is fixed.

[Sigh]

I think its too late for Gears to appear on the PS3. If Epic ever decided on making a Gears title for PS3, I'm guessing they'll still make Gears 3 exclusive for Xbox 360 even though they agreed with MS for only the 1st two because they are satisfied with the amount of fanbase they have with the series. Besides, Sony has already got its own exclusives that are enough to appeal to the masses, they don't need to stoop to MS' level.

[patterson]

I'll pass.

[ShabzS]

... one of the best ip's this gen. For me, this was the reason to buy a 360... it'd be a major hit in the armor of 360 if it loses this game to a rival platform.

[aaronisbla]

not sure how it would be too big of a hit for MS, you would still be able to play it with no problems, maybe even have the better version, who knows.

I'm primarily a ps3 user since the online is free and i can be a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to services. However, i wouldn't care one bit if mgs4 went to other platforms, i played it, loved it, moved on. Who cares if it was to go multiplatform besides fanboys? ( im not calling you a fanboy btw )

Same could be said for Gears franchise. Its done extremely well on the 360 and if it was to ever come over to the ps3 ( which it wont imo ) i dont think it would hurt the 360 at all. Most of the fanbase would be on the 360 and it would still outsell the ps3 version quite a bit

All that being said, i would rather not have Gears go multiplatform, consoles need their identities and thats half of the 360's ID.

[-MD-]

Why would they release a 4 year old game and it's sequel on the ps3? Dones't make sense.

[Narutone66]

are exclusive to the 360. But if ever Epic decide to make Gears 3 it might be multi-plat.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I would like to see Gears remain an Xbox exclusive, but then again, all is fair in love and war.

[TheMART]

Because Marcus Fenix hates the POS3 sh!tty Dual Shock 3 controller!

[Alcohog]

Gears on PS3 is more akin to Uncharted on Xbox, not Metal Gear. It's not happening.

Metal Gear was never an exclusive Sony franchise to begin with. Editorial fail.

[blazed13]

heres why

http://www.computerandvideo...

keep in mind that this was written before gears 2 came out. so far the article has been correct in a way. itll be a matter of time before they announce the third one.. for the 360 ONLY

[UP]

that wasn't nice

[divideby0]

why not...cause I wouldnt need to own a 360...
exclusives are good for each console

[Amir51]

To be fair, Gears of War is the only IP that tempts me to buy a 360 (as just a ps3 owner) but it would be silly of me to buy a console for just two games.

If the 360 drops to £99 for the Pro then ill take the plunge, and it will still only be for Gears of War.

If it comes to the ps3, which i can say it wont with 95% certainty, then i wont bother.

Gears of War>Mass Effect>Halo

[TheMART]

Plus: PS3 only fantards are p*ssy's, they can't handle guys with chainsawguns. They wouldn't sleep at night, try to cry themselves to sleep and in the end mum has to come over to hold their hands.

So nope, no good idea Gears 3 on the POS3.

[FlipMode]

Kratos > Marcus Pheonix

[cmrbe]

no need to tell us you fantasize about big and bulky macho space marines. We already know.

[-MD-]

Kratos is a lame video game character to be honest. And that's coming from the guy that frequents Jaffe's blog and twitter daily.

[Obama]

"Kratos is a lame video game character"

I also happen to think Marcus is a very gay video game character.

[topdawg122]

@ murderdolls,
Kratos is an absolute bad@ss and way better than marcus phoenix, please stop little girl

[-MD-]

I never said anything about Marcus so really I couldn't care less if you hate him or not.

All I'm saying is Kratos is a lame video game character that runs around half naked and has zero personality. Nice insult too by the way the little girl comment really hit home.

[Mo0eY]

Mario would do a jump-to-jump from Marcus and Kratos flattening them both with his smelly sh!t-begotten plumber boots.

Mario wins.

[jhoang]

Kratos is one of the most violent video game characters and is more violent than anything in Geow using his bare hands(helios)

[MysticStrummer]

I don't want it. I was more intrigued by Bioware saying Mass Effect could be brought over. I was hoping that was the 360 game that was rumored to be making the leap. No other 360 exclusives interest me, with the possible exception of Alan Wake.

[UP]

wow you have some issues. Do you want to talk about it?

[darkknight0996]

for 2 reasons:
1.Gears of war is MS MVP the will not let it slip from their hands.

2.if you look at sony history they would be more interested in a new IP from epic and have it a PS3 exclusive.

[Disccordia]

Actually, your second point is a good one, I have to agree on that.

[Spike47]

I have to see first what it is LOL, I"m hoping it brings me back to the first Halo days. I stop myself from unleashing my rant on how overhyped Halo 3 is when I think about the first Halo. I did the same with Final fantasy. lol

[KingKionic]

Ah...thats smart.

Halo 3 was hyped in a good way though .

Had one of the best trailers....

[TheMART]

Last but not least: Epic wants good sales, like 5 to 6 mln. copies sold on Gears of War on a platform. Not like KZ2 sold, 1.5 mln. or so when the game costed 90 Million dollar to make.

Crackdown needed 1.5 million copies sold to break even. I bet that game costed not even half what KZ2 costs to make.

Either way, if KZ2 only sold that amount of copies, Epic won't even take the effort to bring it to the Delaystation 3.

[rucky]

Mart sounds so scuuuured out of his diapers right now it's funny. Are you sure your PS3 hasn't YLOD on you yet? I put a hex on it for quite some time now.

[Nelson M]

Has'nt even completed Gears
Anyways we dont want that Game

[felidae]

No Sex, No Money, No Life ... It's TheMART!!!

[UP]

How about you calm down watch UP and come back a better person.

[JackBNimble]

Even if it does come to the PS3 I would never buy that garbage.You XBOTs can keep your gears and shove it up your ass.

I'll save my money for MAG!

[UP]

that wasn't very nice either
can't we all avoid using words such as xbots or sony droids

[Nelson M]

.

[Avryx]

I actually admire the PS3 owners stating they don't need an exclusive when 360 owners beg/crawl/troll for PS3 games--not all of them, but I see it A LOT. Personally if Gears came on the PS3 I think it would be a great asset. There is no loss, only benefit. I do admit I'd like to see Epic give PS3 more support; don't just stop with UT3.

[Arnon]

Is that a joke? Have you not seen the recent articles posted oh... in the past few days stating that a niche 360 title would be coming to the PS3 and PS3 fans listed over 20 different games?

Rofl.

[ukilnme]

Oh yeah it's a joke. So many of them can't wait to see an announcement about Mass Effect coming to the PS3. I admire that most of the N4G "Sony Faithful" can maintain such a high level of hypocrisy on a daily basis even though they are called out on their crap all the time. That really takes dedication.

[MRMagoo123]

yes we sony fans cant wait for bug effect to come to our system its such a great game lol i love sitting in an elevator for hours waiting for things to load then getting out and they still havent all loaded yet , i often go to my local shops and sit in an elevator for hours on end to emulate it because its such a pleasure.

[GarandShooter]

The joke is seeing only what you want to see. When the 'niche game' threads reach 1/4 of the 'MGS4 on 360' threads let me know.

Fanboys want what they can't have, or just want the other side to lose it so they have something to jaw about. The only difference between the 'faithful' is the console they support.

[stonecold3]

[Allelujah00]

From: Microsoft did it twice to

Microsoft did it thrice, with GTA, FF, and MG

[Mo0eY]

Metal Gear franchise was never exclusive to the Sony platforms (Gamecube version, Xbox version). Hell, it started on the NES.

I hope you learned something new today.

[RockmanII7]

Thats a quote from the site. But yea, I don't get why people hate games going multi-plat. Just because Borderlands is multi-plat, doesn't mean it's going to be bad (I'm using Borderlands as a example). I can say from my perspective of an 360-only owner, It seems to me that the people 'who own both' get more bent out of shape than the 1 system owners.

[Figboy]

the game that 360 fanboys were adamant was coming to the 360 was Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, not Metal Gear Solid: Rising, a side story featuring Raiden of all characters (Raiden redeems himself a bit in MGS4, but come on, it's still Raiden, the joke of the series)

THAT Metal Gear game is still exclusive to the Playstation 3.

also, lest we not forget that the original Metal Gears appeared on Microsofts MSX computer system, and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, appeared on the original Xbox.

i love how suddenly people forget that it was MGS4 that was the butt of all those rumors, and they try to sweep it under the rug in light of Rising, which no one has any idea of it's quality.

in either case, i'm not a Gears of War fan, so that can stay exclusive to the 360 for all i care.

now, Mass Effect is a different story. THAT'S the 360 franchise i wouldn't mind seeing on the PS3, but i'm certainly not losing sleep because it's 360 exclusive. i prefer it, because, damn, i need SOMETHING to justify why i own an Xbox 360, and multi-platforms aren't doing it for me (i buy all multi-plats on the PS3 because i prefer the controller).

i bought my 360 so that i could experience some kickass exclusives that push the console to it's limits. all i've gotten in the 4 years that the console has been out have been Unreal Engine 3 games, and slightly better multi-platform games early on.

the Playstation 3 has featured TRUE exclusive (ie, only available on the PS3, and not on the PC or other platforms), and free online play.

the 360 needs Gears of War more than the PS3 does, that's for sure. i know i just want some great games to play on my 360, and so far, i just don't have any that interest me (i can't wait for Alan Wake and Mass Effect 2, however).

[Magna Farta]

It's a very fun game, would further validate the neccesity of PSN, and if it were in fact to come to the dark side, it might come with a few improvements and extras.

[Double Toasted]

will make PSN a reason to get a PS3 and its funny that its a TPS too.

[dagreylion]

It would be nice to see, but never in a million years will it happen just like seeing God of War on an Xbox 360.....

[goku32359]

but if it does i'd crap my pants!

[assassin297]

I know that microsoft has stolen away previous sony exclusives before, but were those ones that sony actually owned the rights to? I always thought Gears was a MS exclusive simply because MS owned the rights to it? Don't they have control over what consoles it appears on?

[Disccordia]

Microsoft published the games and had an exclusivity deal for the first sequel, but the IP is owned entirely by Epic so in theory the third game is open to all platforms, and that is why we'll constantly see this rumour floating about until the day it's announced.

[Double Toasted]

...equal value to bring over from the PS3 onto the 360.

[GarandShooter]

Do you mean they're all of greater value?

[Double Toasted]

what I said. There is nothing else on the PS3 that anybody would want on the 360,except maybe GOW III, but its not a shooter, I would say UC2, but I don't think people would play it very long. 360 users are very picky when it comes to their online shooters.

[kewlkat007]

....PS3 controller sucks for shooters..The Xbox 360/720 is fine and is bound to make money. Epic wouldn't trust this game and Sony's install-base anyhow, looking at KZ2's numbers in the most important "shooters" region. I guess, every little bit counts eh..

[jalen247]

Don't really care if the PS3 gets Gears. I played Gears 1 and Gears 2 and I really wasn't that impressed. Maybe because I own Uncharted which is a much better game in my humble opinion. However, I really liked the horde mode. I think every action game should have a horde mode offline and/or online(single and/or coop) to extend the life of the game.

[wicked]

but I feel uncharted needs online to extend it's play.

[bankai]

first of all, gears on PS3 too wouldn't exactly influence sales of its console. thats just a fact.
secondly FPS games are generally more preferred on an overall basis on the 360 than the PS3.

thirdly, for everyone on here b*tching about dirty tactics from sony and microsoft with SE or people seeing SE as betraying nintendo and sony need to step back and take a look and why SE used the PSone in the first place. FFVII was originally intended for the SNES, then moved to the N64. after that, they realized the cartridges did not provide the ample space necessary for the game and CDs did, so they jumped to playstation. THATS IT. there was a contract for square to develope for sony for a specific period of time and when that was over they went multiplatform. that is NOT betrayal or dirty tactics, that IS business.

[aaronisbla]

a Third Person Shooter, that is all

[bankai]

yeah i know, i just had FPS games on my mind when i was writing this. i was talking to a friend about how i hate FPS games xD and when i noticed that i put FPS it was too late to edit it.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

Mass effect? YES,I would love to see it come my way.I don't own both consoles,I did once but not anymore.People have different tastes,'good for one isn't always good for all'.I don't agree with you calling Morganfell(for all intent and purpose) a liar however,he is of a strong opinion yet can manage the fallout admirably.
If I say,"screw gears,it is standard fare,I would prefer ME instead" I become worthy of criticism? If you said" MGS4 is overrated,give me Warhawk instead" should I condemn you? NO,it is opinion, entitlement as it were.

[Shendow]

If Gears is on PS3, I'm going to rent it like I did on the 360 an if they do maybe all the problems won't be on it. Anyways I can see it happening but not of the lines by Sony's hands but by the makings of Gears, wasn't Unreal 3 made by the same people of Gears? an so far the PS3 UT3 is much better in its own ways.

[Pootangpie]

espically considering the fact it's the best selling franchise the 360 has next to halo seriously the sony fanboys don't deserve it besides MS didn't pay for FF13 to go multiplatform or for MGSR for that matter sony still has exclusive deal over the main games in the metal gear series Metal gear solid rising is not MGS5 duh

[aaronisbla]

http://forums.epicgames.com...

Epic owns and controls everything

[Knightofelemia]

It won't happen all thoe it would be nice but the fact is Microsoft is not going to let this go without a fight. Just ike if rumors came about of Killzone 2 appearing on the 360 Sony would put up a fight to keep it on their console.

[aaronisbla]

MS doesn't own Epic games, however Sony owns Guerilla Games last i checked, any such rumors of kz2 or its sequels going multiplatform is ludicrous

[Spydiggity]

Same articles day after day on N4G, Why not?

[likedamaster]

Well, according to ps3 fanboys, it's already on PS3. It's called Unreal Tournament 3. Just add the Marcus Fenix, Dom, etc. mod and there you have it.

LOL. Fanboys I swear...

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

cool if it comes ok if it doesn't nothing i'd lose sleep for played Gears 1 was ok i'm actually more interested in the Gears clone for PS3 Quantum it looks good might be worth picking up

[likedamaster]

"more interested in the Gears clone for PS3 Quantum it looks good might be worth picking up"

Your honesty is... amusing.

[KingKionic]

LOL....

Hilarious comment.

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

hey it is what is first time i saw Quantum gameplay footage it was identical to Gears except no chainsaw attached to the gun so yeah it's a Gears clone i'm not going to act like a PS3 fanboy retard and say it doesn't look nothing like Gears or act like like it has nothing from Gears but it does it looks alot like Gears

[likedamaster]

LOL. Bubbles up.

[Claudinho69]

because microsoft's checks says so..

[vShinobi]

Yes MS did it twice but its Sony fault for not doing something about it, IMO PS3 doesn''t need Gears or any 360 exclusive, theres plenty of exclusives here and plenty more coming but IF PS3 we're to get one i would prefer Splinter Cell Conviction or L4D, I had Gears already and game is good but nothing to pray over its a meh game, BTW Sony is already got 2 games that we're exclusive to MS(Bioshock and Lost Planet) and soon PS3 will be getting Lost Planet 2, Bioshock 2, and the list of exclusives so Gears? really? not interested.

[I-SEE-YOU]

No dont do that, its the only reason I own a 360. Take that away and I have no use for it.

[gameman]

all of these new games coming out no time for the gears of bots at all

(back playing ps3 )

[A LIVING LEGEND]

A hypothetical question is certainly deserving of hypothetical answers.
Let us assume that Gears is coming on the PS3 in 11 days,let us also assume that Resistance is going topside........and drumroll please.
What if's ..........comics tried them.Try this instead; Is there any chance of exclusives becoming not so exclusive? Evidence exists(not dreams) to suggest otherwise.I would read it,retain it and be 'informed'.As it stands,I remain 'numbed'.

[likedamaster]

You want Gears of War 2? Get a 360. End of discussion.

[MRMagoo123]

I dont want it either way really gears is boring they can keep it no joke or bias its just plain boring to me ide rather watch reruns of 24

[aaronisbla]

Really, gears is boring to you? No offense but would you say the same if this was a huge ps3 exclusive?

[JD_Shadow]

You know, the one thing that would really make this a bad thing:

Gears of War would have the acronym GOW.

God of War has the acronym....GOW!

This would equal...EXTREME CONFUSION!

[A LIVING LEGEND]

You disagree and to that I say "You are entitled to as much as a simple difference of opinion".Good enough,we disagree,it isn't rocket surgery.I can respect that you don't respect my view,in fact I admire that you replied with decency instead of insults.Such is the way=)

[MaximusPrime]

If it comes on ps3, fair enough it probably will boost ps3 sales.
Personally, i dont want to see it on ps3. Why? Its a xbox360 game, doesnt fit as ps3 game, ps3 has plenty of quality exclusive. Ps3 is actually doing very well. It is on the verge of toppling xbox360 off top spot

[blazed13]

what top spot are you referring to im a bit confused... sales, attach games ratio, what is it im trying to figure out what you mean..

[ssipmraw]

you could put both gears 1 and 2 onto a single bluray and still have space to spare, hell put the entire series onto one bluray

[shutupandplay]

I think it would be great on the ps3, just make sure you take out the blood and gore. Just make some really neat purple mist spew out after a chainsaw kill. Boy tha`d be somethin` I`d buy it again just for that.

[ssipmraw]

we would probably get some hot chicks in the game as well then

[Sigh]

if Epic decided to take Gears of War to PS3. They would talk with Sony, only to come to an agreement that they would make a new exclusive ip for them instead of bringing a Gears port to Sony (now cancelling the port of Gears to PS3 would all depend if Microsoft goes after Epic and making a deal of extending its exclusivity with them). Sony would help Epic benefit because they know that Gears is a popular title for the Xbox 360, so they will let them keep it exclusive, being aware that they are now not restricted on bringing the 3rd Gears to any platform. Sony mostly has a habit of wanting new IPs, so if this were to happen then yeah I wouldnt be surprised. This is basically what happened with GTA IV, Sony stated that instead of keeping GTA IV exclusive, they gave Rockstar the benefit by allowing them to go multiplatform with it, thus earning big amounts of money. The catch for Rockstar was that they would make a new exclusive game for Sony instead (Now known to all as "AGENT"), basically a win-win situation, and a great one since Rockstar and Sony have a good relationship.

[Lex Luthor]

Sony just got Castle Crashers, you don't see any MS fanboys b!tching about it. Man up you Sony fanboy pussies.

[aaronisbla]

But really, its just castle crashers, its not some Huge exclusive that every ps3 owner was dreaming about. Honestly, if something like Gears or Mass Effect was to cross over to sony's camp, fanboys on both sides would go wild.

[theminority]

WiiStation 360 is so badass

[gamesonsmash]

i want to ask the mart something you have your own site and talk all stuff do you go to e3,ces or pax and talk to any of the people that make the games you love so much i bet you don't and i bet you won't answer me about this because i have been to your site and i didn't see anything exclusive but i think that's all you can do is talk lmao your a joke

[Magnum7mm]

I could care less about exclusives im just glad my PS3 doesn't overheat. Im not saying that in a bad way so take it how you want.

[Silber]

When Gears comes to PS3 the following will happen:

1. Former PS3 Fanboys now love Gears, instead of bashing it
2. PS3 Fanboys will whine about it, because the 360 Version hold back the full Potential of Gears of War PS3 Edition
3. PS Fanboys will post a million times that they steal "the only" good Xbox Title

Oh and btw - why is only Marcus Fenix trademarked by Epic and not the other Main Charakters like Dom too? Strange...

[Kornholic]

Yes, exactly what happened to Metal Gear Solid coming to Xbox 360 too. Hypocrisy, some might say.

[Silber]

Was not fully the same - Only Point 1 and 3;)

[ShadowCK]

Gears of war won't be on the PS3 because that failure of a console cannot handle that much win. It would simply explode.

Stick to Metal Gear Solid Droids, Oh wait...

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

hey fanboy retard grow up Gears wouldn't make PS3 explode, PS3 can handle it just like God of War 3

[Djinn]

I doubt the PS3 will get Gears of war because Sony is full of retards. If microsoft can steal all of Sony's exclusives then whats stopping Sony from doing the same thing? Stupidity, thats what.

[MisterNiwa]

Delete

[Kornholic]

Gears of War isn't a an exclusive to begin with. It's also on PC, remember?

[xg-ei8ht]

Don't care about gears, but would check it out if it came on PS3.

I prefer uncharted for 3rd person games, and tombraider, i like adventure games etc.

But i think you'll see many 360 fans interested in Quantum Theory, as it looks to take 3rd person to a new level, just like uncharted 2 has done.

[JJFNIGHTS80]

I could care less if this was on my PS3 If I buy it I'll trade it in for something else. And my PS3 still works now its 2 years old.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Throw more coins in the wishing well droids, it may happen.

[Doletskaya]

If you see the footage of Quantum Theory,you'll know that game is a piece of crap.Anyway,I will absolutely love to see Gears of War 3 on my PS3.That's the only 360 game that interests me.If Epic wants their Gears franchise to be more successful,they definately should consider developing it on PS3.Since M$ has spent so much money to steal third-party exclusives,I think it's time for a little revenge.

[napoleon_ist]

tecmo did it it's called Quantum (working title: Quantum Theory)

[likedamaster]

It looks like it could be fun.

[Ninjamonkey]

Games like gears just wouldnt feel right on a ps3 though...

[jarhead906]

Yeah I agree just because some games are built very well with the controller in mind. Both Gears of War titles and Halo 3 are such games. I wouldn't want to play them on the PS3 if I could already play them on the 360.

[kevinx1000]

That would make the PS3 a WHOLE lot better!

[OmegaSlayer]

Guys, Epic won't give a damn about fanboys, Microsoft or Sony.
They are a company built to make money.

First of all, Epic gets the most of their cash from middleware, the Unreal Engine, an engine that Epic itself says that work "flawlessly" on 3 platforms, 360, PS3 and PCs.
We all know that UE doesn't work well with PS3, and Infinite Undiscovery is a real proof (we could add Bioshock, Dark Sector, Army Of Two, etc...)

Now a big competitor is entering the scene, Crytek, with the CryEngine 3 that "seems" to work real fine on every platform.

If Epic doesn't show that Unreal Engine is serious stuff and is reliable for developing on PS3, other minor devs won't ever buy the license but would rely on CryEngine3.

So Epic HAS to release a proof of what "UE 3.8" is capable of on PS3.

Mark Rein is showing a lot of faith in PS3 lately, and Cliffy B is talking a lot about Gears Prequel, so I think that Epic would, and have to release a Gears spin off even on PS3.

Many could say that Microsoft would pay to prevent a terrible IP leak, but I have to point out that the money MS would have to pay is a lot, since PS3 has nearly 23/24 millions users now (with a foreseable 30 millions by the end of the year if they cut the price).

Basically if MS wants to keep the exclusivity (they had a contract for 2 Gears) should pay to Epic the amount of cash that Epic would eventually lose without the release on PS3, that is 2 to 3 millions of copies, so make some maths by yourself.

I think that this one is the same reason for which Lost Planet 2 went multiplatform; Capcom was trying to seal a deal with Microsoft, but Capcom asked too much money.
Yes, Gears is different from Lost Planet, but money is always the same and is always green.

Last of all, add that Epic had some problems with Microsoft about releasing some stuff for their games (free DLCs) and Microsoft forced them to release it Premium or to not release it at all (Unreal Tournament III Titan Pack).

Gears Of War on PS3 is quite a dream, but it's not 100% impossible, especially if Epic pulls a MGS: Rising.

i'll buy it if it comes for ps3 but idc if it doesn't come out for it. But then again, they could fit all their map packs into the blu-ray disk and release both gears.
Man, would that b a good deal.

Its great owning both consols and not having to worry about which exclusive is on which system...

[kevinx1000]

Or a waist of money for some people :)

Can some please explain to me what exactly was this "dirty trick" Sony played? Because as far as I can tell, it was putting a DVD drive in the PS2 and making it so it could play movies. Sega, when they were making the Dreamcast, could have made play a competing format, VCD, but didn't while they were hawking all else it did. Because the PS2 was cheaper than standalone DVD players it took off while the Dreamcast hit a slump. A slump Sega couldn't survive because they had wasted money on all the Genesis add-ons and the Saturn, while everyone knew about the Dreamcast even then.

Sega shot themselves in the foot just like Nintendo did by not reading then backing out of the deal that ultimately brought Sony into the console market.

So please can someone tell me what Sony did other than offer better licensing, cheaper manufacturing and general entertainment value? How that matches up with MS buying content exclusivity?

with all the smoke and debris that the ps3 can handle, believe me Gears would look gorgeous on ps3.

Don't really care if Gears goes to the PS3 I'll play it on my 360 anyway. It's not like Epic or Sony are going to make the 360 version cease to exist.

Remember these are the guys that bash this game on other sites but now that theres rumors that i could be on PS3 yall like it.... just admit that gears is a really good game lol

Not bein a fanboy just stating facts

[cloud9wpi07]

The Metal Gear sold Series announced for the 360 this e3 was not as big of a surprise, considering the metal gear series had already been on the XBOX.

[Andy1206]

Really... which one i wanna go play it... :D

[Godmars290]

MGS2? On Xbox1?

I know some people just cal the 360 "the Xbox" but it is MS's 2nd console.

[jarhead906]

I personally don't think the Gears of War titles are as great as everyone makes them out to be. If it came out for the PS3 I still wouldn't buy it.

I had fun playing through the Campaigns on both but they're not quite great enough to warrant a purchase (if I did own a 360).

[HubbaBubba]

why not?

[Ninjamonkey82]

Xbox is fast bacomin g a PS3 clone so why not even it up some.

Quantum theory is looking good.

What you've seen is very alpha-beta footage. even at E3.

Most textures are place holders as are fx.

It's early 2010 title.

I played gears 2 and was dissapointed with it was over hyped and under delivered b/c of the 360 . sorry but this is how i feel , im not saying it would be better on the ps3 .i think epic need more time building the game. but some was pushy and need the title out NOW lol.
