DAMN.

I repeat again

DAMN .

chaosatom5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

On Natal. /XD

Looks like Alan Wake will be the last game on the 360. /XD

Honestly, I don't think that they are going to wait 4-5 years to release Gears. That's way too long. There is some Milking to be done /XD

Foxgod5330d ago

Maybe Epic is working on another Great IP for the 360, i doubt they would just sit around and just work on gears3 for the next xbox.
And we know how much Epic loves the 360.

SnuggleBandit5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

hmm couldn't compete graphically i guess jk jk jk

sucks for gamers

EDIT:Disagree? I said I WAS JOKING!

on a side note, I can pretty much guarantee that this title will be microsofts big launch title/reason to buy their next console

chaosatom5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

That's the reason he disagreed.

It's because it's not a joke. It really can't compete graphically with exclusive ps3 games. :P

topdawg1225330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

Oops, thought this was for current gen consoles my bad.

@ below yeah my 360 rrod and i haven't gotten a new one since.

chaosatom5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

I don't understand, you sold/rroded your 360?

What about the RROD policy?

Cwalat5330d ago

Maybe this means the next Xbox isn't too far away after all =)

I doubt Epic will wait more than 3-4 years before releasing their next Gears game, i mean... What are they gonna do in that time? Release another Unreal Tournament? Nah, either they are working on a new IP or they're hard at work with Gears 3 for a 2011 release(that would be when the next Xbox comes out).

morganfell5330d ago

"We're very concerned that the next generation will be massively parallel and most engines won't be able to adapt for that," said Capps.

So dev teams that are familiar with the PS3 will have a leg up on everyone else. Interesting.

Cobalt405330d ago

epic isn't working on a gears 3. they got a new ip that they have been developing. it is being published by ea. i dont think a new 360 is comin out anytime soon. they are gonna do a multiplat new ip first.

AKNAA5330d ago

"Epic Games president Michael Capps has said that if there's a third Gears of Wars game, it will be released on next-gen consoles."

I couldn't help but notice the letter "S" at the end of console. Hmmm...

Disccordia5330d ago

Yes AKNAA, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the headline.. but also it could be when he says 'next generation consoles', maybe he means the current generation but just going multiplatform, kinda like how LA Noir is in development for "next generation consoles".

Bereaver5330d ago

Sure enough, that's a mighty big S.

zeeshan5330d ago

This screams a NEW M$ console that you can expect to see in a year or two ;)

ShabzS5330d ago

Erogamer Update: Epic Games president Michael Capps claims he misspoke during a Q&A session at the Tokyo Game Show today when he said, "If there were a next Gears of War, that will be for the next console generation, whenever that is."

Speaking to Eurogamer after the event, Capps explained that if the next Gears of War - assuming there is one - were to be released in the next "four to five years", it would be for current consoles.

Were it to be based on Unreal Engine 4, however, it would have to come out on the next round of consoles, because those are the machines for which Epic is targeting its next generation of money-spinning engine technology.

"If we ship a game in the next few years, it'll be Unreal Engine 3. If we ship a game on next [generation] consoles, it will likely be Unreal Engine 4," he told Eurogamer.

DeadlyFire5330d ago

Well. DirectX 11 is coming in October or so for PC platform. Only takes a year or two before we see it fully supported on a console. Microsoft isn't going to wait more than 2 years to unveil the next Xbox. DirectX 11 will be fundamental for next Xbox. There is already something under wraps that can upscale X360 games. I wonder what it could be? Project Phoenix is its code name. At least according to rumors. Nothing has come out denying it yet.

OpenGL5330d ago

Well, Microsoft doesn't really need Gears of War 3 next year with Halo Reach and Alan Wake coming out. I think it would be pretty smart of Microsoft to save Gears of War 3 for the Xbox 720 or whatever they name it. Good launch titles are rare, and I know I'd definitely be more interested in an Xbox 720 if it was launching with Gears of War 3.

nycredude5330d ago

I think they are going to diversify and work on a few mulitplatform games before they release Gears 3 on the next xbox.

coolirisGB5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

I doubt SpaceSquirrel will update the article so that PS3 fans can spread misinformation.

" Update: Epic Games president Michael Capps claims he misspoke during a Q&A session at the Tokyo Game Show today when he said, "If there were a next Gears of War, that will be for the next console generation, whenever that is."

Despite the dude misspeaking, in the PC industry they often say "for next gen consoles" in a general sense doesn't mean they're talking about more than one console.

raztad5330d ago

@cool above

Not sure if I got your point but I dont see anyone, so far in this thread, saying Gears will be on the next gen Sony console.

IMO, xbox720 in 2011 confirmed. MS will be playing a dual strategy, xbox360+Natal for the casual market and xbox720 on the high end. I think it's a good thing for the industry MS to come out with a more capable and reliable console.

gamerdude115330d ago

This is a strange way to announce Gears of War 3 will be multi-platform. Please someone tell me I am reading this incorrectly. Why say next-gen consoles if he is referring to an iteration of Xbox?

gta_cb5330d ago

if you had taken the time to read the comments you would have seen people have answered your question. read up to #1.14 (username - Shbzshar)

deadpoole5330d ago

FU Epic and Microsoft ... The whole effing reason I bought 360 was cuz of Gears of War series and it waz goin to be trilogy but now Im thinkin of gettin rid of Xbox 360 and buyin PS3 cuz hell Xbox 360 is useless for me without Gears of War Exclusive title.

What a shame MS and Epic ... What a Shame?

leeger5330d ago

i thought it was a trilogy for the 360??

Godmars2905330d ago

Didn't someone from Epic promise that as a trilogy the game would be on one console?

II Necroplasm II5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

After playing Gears 2, this is great news. They need to make the 3rd Gears of War game with UE4.

Serg5330d ago

The first two Gears iterations were bound to the 360 by contract, after that Epic could either extend the deal with Microsoft, or make Gears multiplatform. I don't know about a trilogy though.

Double Toasted5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

consoles is plural meaning multi-plat, which I highly doubt. Cliff is a 360 fanboy, with that said Gears 3 will be on the 360, Gears 4 and beyond...next gen Xbox.

NeoBasch5330d ago

Yeah, it was either than or Mass Effect. Perhaps both, but someone said they would finish the trilogy within one console iteration. My memory's kind of foggy.

WMW5330d ago

i don't think cliffy can be considered a 360 fanboy since UT3 on the ps3 is without question better then the 360 version and he has a contract with MS with gears of war so they couldn't go multiplatform gears 3 can easily go to the ps3 if MS doesn't try and make a deal with epic. he is similar to kojima he works mainly with sony but isn't against working on the 360.

Double Toasted5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

http://www.psu.com/Cliff-Bl...

I'm prepared to back up any of my claims...

I feel the same way he does and I like the PS3, I have two of them, but I'm letting my nephew use my 60 gig while I fool around with my new slim...

WMW5330d ago

that doesn't really say he wouldn't put gears on the ps3 he just said he didn't like the controller and that didn't stop him from putting UT3 on the ps3

Double Toasted5330d ago

Look I'm just saying don't get your hopes up and if they're up, at least prepare for disappointment...hopefully without any negative sentiments.

WMW5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

i'm not spinning anything just stating facts it isn't my fault you aren't making a valid point and also i don't have high hopes for it coming to the ps3 hell i wouldn't buy if it did UC is a much better tps with cover. i'm just saying don't get your hopes up for it staying exclusive since they have no problem making games for the ps3 and supporting more then the 360 version.

Double Toasted5330d ago

Whatever. And the part about UC being better...thats your opinion.

WMW5330d ago

yeah mine, ps3 owners, multi console owners and majority of the gaming media pretty much everyone but 360 fanboys since most say it is perfect and others say it is the closest thing to a perfect game

Double Toasted5329d ago

as much as Gears...I wonder why that is?

orange-skittle5329d ago

@ WMW

You're a f*ckin' idiot. Unreal Tournament for the PS3 was a port from the 360 you moron. How the hell can it play better. Everyone in this forum knows the 360 controller was built for FPS's and EPIC doesn't make games for the PS3. They don't like the architecture of the system. Cliffy B stated that in an article. 99.9 multiplatform games are made on 360 development kits you moron.

As for the topic at hand...EPIC sucks! Yes they make good games, but they ignore fans just like Infinity Ward. They said Gears was a trilogy, but now back off and say it will be for the next system which is 3-4 years down the road. By then we would have lost interest and Uncharted 3 will be the Killer App for the competition. As for my statement about IW being the same way...they have the #1 selling FPS of all time and the most anticipated game of the year and what do they give their fan base in return...1 MAP PACK in 2 years. Talk about supporting you customers. They totally abandoned the online community so they could make another game and get another $60 from you. Good job IW

OGharryjoysticks5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

gears is one of the first "big" games for it.

next box next year. or early 2011

I read in OXM a little over 2 years ago that they were working on a next gen Halo for the next system even back then - so don't be surprised when Microsoft releases the next box and has a new Halo and Gears to dangle in front of buyers.

EDIT- The person who disagreed is either a MS employee doing damage control or a hater because like I said OXM even said over 2 years ago that MS was working on a next gen Halo and that sure as hell wasn't Halo 3 or the expansion ODST.

jjohan355330d ago

Let's hope they get the 3rd one right this time. First gears was absolutely epic. 2nd gears was buggy.

ApocalypseShadow5330d ago

a 4-5 level side story to tide gamers over until then.

as for the amount of developers,i think they could have added a couple of more people to do online gaming quality testing.but smaller teams are better than big ones.

KingKionic 5330d ago

I would just like a gears 3 .

peeps5330d ago

well they released that dark corners expansion. i dunno how much you got out of that though, never looked into it enough

Calvin_ISA5330d ago

Pretty sure there's at least 2 million people who would buy a Gears of ODST type of game.

slave2Dcontroller5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

Really not interest in waggles of war3. Of all the fu@k1n franchises to tinker around with and screw up, they chose the one I truly love and bought my 360 for.

May as well give it to my nephew or sell it. I will wait to see if this is optional but if not. Bye Bye 360

(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)
All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.

Wyesvin104d ago

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756105d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00104d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic104d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack105d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing105d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic104d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos105d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin105d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris105d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine105d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz105d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin109d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack109d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing109d ago (Edited 109d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69109d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07109d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn109d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid109d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog109d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex109d ago (Edited 109d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992109d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
