Gears of War Not Coming to PS3 Anytime Soon Says Epic Games

Gears of War 3 on PS3? Don’t bet on it. Epic Games Design Director Cliff Blezsinski told Electric Pig it’s not “going to happen anytime soon.”

In B4 the "He said 'Anytime Soon'! Soon would imply that a date in the future is indeed probable!" line of reasoning.

Hudahudahuda4867d ago

Man, if Gears 3 comes to PS3...oh man.

Spitfire_Riggz4867d ago

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My hope... crushed.. my heart.. twisted and bleeding... Oh well back to killzone 3. (no sarcasm really wanted gears)

Boody-Bandit4867d ago

Damn, no Gears of War for the PS3? You mean PS3 consumers are going to have to try and get by with only 20+ exclusives for 2011 on top of all the big multiplat titles coming out this year as well? I simply don't know how they will survive. /s

guigsy4867d ago

@ bageara

Who's we? Are you the spokesperson for PS3 owners or something? I know several PS3 owners who would love to play Gears on PS3, as do 360 owners wanting games like Uncharted.

bageara4867d ago (Edited 4867d ago )

We is for all the PS3 owners that agree We dont need it and seems like thats a lot, any PS3 owners who feel they do need it are welcome to post so

Inside_out4867d ago (Edited 4867d ago )

.
That decision was made a long time ago by the people that pay Cliff. I'm sure if he had his way, he would want his baby in as many homes and on as many systems as possible. Evey game designer wants his game to be played by as many people/gamers as possible. With the franchise selling 12+ million so far and M$ surely paying heavily to make Gears 3 exclusive...Epic is quite fine with it...maybe one day.

At this point, I think most people have all the systems anyways so I suspect those that really want to play Gears will get there chance.

BTW...agree 100% with the controller coment. I can't stand that thing as well. A game like Gears will give you carpal tunnel syndrome on that thing...lol

TheLastGuardian4867d ago

I'm a PS3 only owner but I have to admit, Gears is a pretty good series. I've play plenty of Gears 1 and 2 on my friends 360's and I had a blast. I would buy Gears 1,2 and 3 if they were on PS3 but I would feel kind of bad for taking one of Microsoft's biggest exclusive series.

Eyeco4867d ago

gears is a great series but its never really appealed to me as much as Uncharted i always found gears to be slow and clunky for my liking.

JUDALATION4867d ago

HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAAA YOU OBVIOSULY HAVE NOT PLAYED GEARS!

In other NEWS that nobody cares about.... Killzone Uncharted God of War Infamous Twisted Metal White Knight Cronicles Little Big Planet Resistance and Socom will not be Going to Xbox.... solution, Own Both Consoles???

Gears Is the Next Mass Effect As its a good game that is overhyped just because its exclusive. Valkyria cronicles is way better than Mass Effect and RESISTANCE is way better than Gears!

Muffins12234867d ago

No,may come out for ps3 3 or 4 years after gears of war 3

jack_burt0n4867d ago

Just play the first game with much improved visuals on PC.

Doletskaya4867d ago

Don't listen to bageara, Epic. He only represents the PS3 owners he imagined in his head. I would love Gears on my PS3. In fact, Gears is the only 360 game I want and care about.

DigitalRaptor4867d ago

"I can't stand that thing as well. A game like Gears will give you carpal tunnel syndrome on that thing...lol"

Please tell me you played PS1 + PS2. Any complaints?

Any complaints from PlayStation users over the years? Wouldn't have thought so...

Well done for creating some sort of huge problem that doesn't even exist! :p

LoVeRSaMa4867d ago

Surely I am not the only person who does not care, in fact I thought thats how the Majority went tbh.

KZ3 is out soon =]

paintsville4867d ago

Oh that's not going to happen. It'd run at about 1-fps, have low rez shadow maps, 50% torn frames, and require a 12 gig install. Oh wait...that's a description of of about 90% of ps3 games.

Christopher4866d ago (Edited 4866d ago )

Personally don't care for Gears of War (I've played the first one on 360), but can't deny that a huge portion of PS3 owners would definitely enjoy it if it ever came to the PS3.

***BTW...agree 100% with the controller coment. I can't stand that thing as well. A game like Gears will give you carpal tunnel syndrome on that thing...lol ***

You do know that CTS is from repetitive movements of the wrist, which are just as applicable to happen with any game controller, right? Considering none of the controllers force any sort of pressure on the wrist through the need to hold them at angles that would strain one's wrist, the possibility is equal and based on the user's choice in holding the controllers and not because of the design of the controllers.

The primary complain with the DualShock is heft/size and lack of numbs on the R2/L2 buttons. None of these increase the chances of CTS, only on the individual's ability to play competitively, which is not a universal standard.

Jaces4867d ago

Hope not, I need at least one game I can play on my 360.

CYCLEGAMER4867d ago

uh you are still going to be able to play it on your 360 if it goes multiplat

Jaces4867d ago

Not really. Why keep a system if all it's good exclusives are multiplat. Besides, I prefer trophies. ;)

KillerBBs4867d ago

PS3 user can experience low frame rates, lag, glitches, host powers and complete utter Crap know to man as the Unreal engine!

tmoss7264867d ago

Tell that to Mass Effect 2.

Rage_S904867d ago

um i love mass effect but that game has technical problems as well as having the hub worlds be nothing but corridors, also loading times are bad. so yeah unreal engine does have an effect.......

Pixelated_Army4867d ago

Gears uses unreal engine? ha ha!

ABizzel14867d ago

I'm kind of glad. It would be a nice addition to the PS3, but that'll be one less reason to play my 360. Gears and Left 4 Dead are my favorite 360 games, and let both of them come to the PS3, and there's no point in having my 360 anymore.

TheLastGuardian4867d ago

Only 2 exclusive series aren't enough to own a console imo. Besides I'd much rather play Gears 1, L4D1 and L4D2 on a PC.

ABizzel14867d ago

Don't get me wrong there are other games and reasons why I like the 360 such as Forza 3, Halo Reach, Splinter Cell, Alan Wake, XBL community, plus as we all know 3rd party games WERE better on 360, so there are other games I like, it's just that Left 4 Dead and Gears are my favorites. Yeah PC is the best place for those games, but I'm not a huge PC gamer.

lil Titan4867d ago

probably another love story anyways, not Mr. and Mrs. Smith love either more of _______, i dont watch any romance fill in that your self.

showtimefolks4867d ago

epic and MS have a 3 game deal this is the rd game. epic have said many times that they own the IP not MS.

if epic wants to bring gears 1-3 on ps3 i think there would be some kind of sue or a opt out clause that would net MS money or something

UNLOADEAD4867d ago

You know, He Could be Trolling everybody. Like what David Jaffe did with Twisted Metal On Ps3

kunit22c4867d ago

Do I remember asking for it? I mean sure it would be nice to add to the huge list, but I don't want the 360 to have NO exclusives for this year, well besides kinect titles..

VampHuntD4867d ago

Darn, I was really hoping to put a fanboy comment for fun...oh what the heck:

Insert Fanboy Rant: He said soon! He didn't deny it! MS lost another exclusive bwahahahaha!!!

End Rant.

In any case, Gears is a good game, and it would be cool seeing on ps3, but I don't think may folks care all that much....

visualb4867d ago

so...not a big deal then.

if you like gears enough for this to matter you'd have a 360 and both gears by now

great games

DFresh4867d ago

I really don't care if Gears of War comes to the PS3 or not.
Too many other great games to play.
:P

BiggCMan4867d ago

I agree. I personally don't think Gears of War is anything special. If it did ever come to PS3, thats fine for people that enjoy it. But with everything coming out this year for PS3 alone, Gears of War is irrelevant. Its really only popular because it has blood, guts, and guns in it. The story is less than stellar, the graphics are good at best, and I still can't get past the football character movement and style of the characters.

DFresh4867d ago

When I first saw Gears of War I thought 3rd person Unreal Tournament.

Think about it the engine, graphics, armor, worlds, etc. all look the same.

Also I was never really a fan of the reloading mechanics.
(Like how you have to time the reloading on a bar to reload quicker. Never understood it.)

Even in Bulletstorm I saw similarities to Unreal Tournament like I did in Gears of War.

Damn.

I really miss playing Unreal Tournament on the PC.

:(

(Unreal Tournament 3 sucked. Hopefully the next game will be better and bring it to back to what made the series fun which in UT 1999 & 2004 on PC.)

Do you agree?

BiggCMan4867d ago

Hell yea I agree. Unreal Tournament was Epics best series ever. Although I personally believe 3 was very good. I do see similarities in Gears of War and Bulletstorm, but they still don't compare to Unreal.

madpuppy4867d ago (Edited 4867d ago )

Who gives a rats @$$. I played 1 and never got to finish 2 because the 360 died half way through and I had enough and sold it.

There are so many games out and coming out on the PS3 that I don't think anyone is going to miss it.

**addendum, got 360 repaired, sold 360 and all games and accessories, bought a second PS3 for my bedroom with the money.**

Kon4867d ago (Edited 4867d ago )

This is the main reason why it should stay on 360 ^^^ Some guys don't care about Gears.

gamingdroid4867d ago

You got a bunch of people saying they don't care and they are entitled to it. I don't care about a lot of franchises, but they said the same thing about Mass Effect and Ninja Gaiden.

However, there are people that obviously care, since Gears sells like 5-6 million copies.

It's a great game and I'm really looking forward to Epic putting the games on dedicated servers!

AK464867d ago (Edited 4867d ago )

When alot of PS3 users say they are not interested, they mean they are not interested.

Don't know the exact numbers but ME2 I don't even think hit 500k yet and NG Stigma didn't even reach a mill.

It just shows you how much PS3 owners care about M$ exclusives coming to the PS3.

winflasher04867d ago

Some people want it on PS3 just to piss off the 360 owners

Aarix4867d ago (Edited 4867d ago )

Yea really I bought a 360 just for gears and the campaign alone blew me away. I played it so many times on insane. Ps3 owners can't appreciate a good game unless it's ps3 exclusive. They really dont deserve it.

tudors4867d ago

@madpuppy why sell somthing that is broken for less when you can get a free replacement and sell it for more.

starcrafter4867d ago

Unless he sold the game, not the console

madpuppy4867d ago

let me add, the 360 broke...for the third time while playing gears 2 I sent it to Texas to get it fixed and when it returned I didn't bother opening the box I just brought it to gamestop and traded it in toward another PS3, the games I traded out on goozex to get the PS3 versions of the multiplats I had as well as trading the MS exclusives for PS3 exclusives.

tudors4867d ago

@madpuppy personally I always enjoyed it too much to not get a replacement, but you have to admit they have now fixed the problem.

madpuppy4867d ago

@tudors, I cannot speak about the Slim 360, I abandoned MS probably a year before it was released. Matter of fact If MS wants to gift me a new slim model I will be glad to take it and see how reliable they are now! :)
Seeing that I am not a movie star or a famous singer I don't think that is going to happen.

I have been burned too many times to actually pay for another 360.

I may be a gamer...but at almost 42 I get just as much satisfaction being a smart consumer.

KillerBBs4867d ago (Edited 4867d ago )

But I think Madpuppy is full of it! Go spit your made up stories some where else.
Caught in a lie!

madpuppy4867d ago (Edited 4867d ago )

wrong, you can look up my account on Live. it is realmadpuppy just like my PSn ID.

nothing worse than ignorance, do some research, man.

that is why I don't own a 360 anymore, they are the worst POS electronic device I have EVER owned, even worse than Walmart's duraband stuff.

why am I explaining anything to someone who afraid to post his gamertag/psn id? (killerbbs)

Trevonn4867d ago

care to prove its made up? because non slim xbox360s wernt built
with "RELIABILITY!!" in mind

Stricktmachine4867d ago

And why would he be lying? I've gone thru 3 Xbox 360's and the Microsoft repair team actually lost my console at the warehouse. I got a replacement (which lasted under a year) and a free 1 month gold membership for that (yippee). Now I take my system to a local shop and it's fixed in less than an hour. I've given up on Microsoft and am a sole ps3 player now. So yes, do your research douche.

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.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏

Wyesvin142d ago

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756144d 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.

Blad3runner00143d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic143d 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.

TheEroica143d ago (Edited 143d 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!

RaidenBlack144d ago

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

phoenixwing144d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic143d 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.

Profchaos144d 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__Merrin144d 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_vulgaris144d ago

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

Concertoine143d 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.

Brazz144d 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."

Wyesvin148d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack148d ago

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

phoenixwing148d ago (Edited 148d 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.

CrimsonWing69148d 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*.

ocelot07148d 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_corn148d ago

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

Juiceid148d ago

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

raWfodog148d ago

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

franwex148d ago (Edited 148d 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.

neutralgamer1992148d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
