No Gears of War Expansion for 360

Gears of War is on its way to PC with some new missions and a map editor. The question on the minds of every Xbox 360 owner is whether or not these additions will make their way to Microsoft's console. In an interview with IGN PC, Epic's Lead Designer Cliff Bleszinski and Gears PC Producer Rod Fergusson dashed the dreams of millions of fans.

1 - Hmm..

I'm alright with them not releasing the PC content. As long as they are fully working on a full-blown sequel with said features and more.

2 - Epic screw us big time!!!

At first they said that Gears of War was an Xbox360 exclusive, now out of nowhere during E3 2007 Epic announce Gears of War for PC with exclusive content. It was like a slap in the face when they said that!!! I feel like I got a unfinished version of Gears of War when they announced this for PC. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to Halo 3, because it just nullifies the 360 experience when the PC gets the real complete version of the game. I am afraid that Game Developers are starting this trend to give the PC version of games all the credit, while the console version before it seems like a incomplete version.

I don't think people remember or weren't aware but Gears was announced for PC when it was announced for the x360. It was later announced as an X360 exclusive since epic did not the man power to work on the PC version and now they are porting to the PC.

2.2 - Then don't support EPIC

They are PC dev at heart. What do you expect. Their is no such thing as an exclusive anymore. Halo2 was stamped "only on xbox". As long as I gte to play it I could care less. It's not like Gears is the end all of gaming. In 2 months we will say gears who.

It's going to be on a DVD9 on the PC.. I don't think disc size has anything to do with it. I suppose they could install the game to HDD but still I don't think DVD9 has anything to do with it.. That sounds like Sony BS talk right there.

All I can say is I will remember this when Gears 2 comes out. I will not be purchasing it because I know there will be a better version right around the corner. And then I might consider it. Just like early adopters on hardware it looks like Epic purchases need the same approach.. Wait it out for awhile!
Cliffy B also spewed BS that Gears is an ongoing work in progress, yea it's a work in progress all right.. for the PC.. I don't mind PC gamers getting this title but I do mind having the gimped version on the 360. This is right with Halo as a flagship title.. It just cheapins the 360.. Nice job to all the aholes who screwed this pooch! MS and Epic combined!

4 - seriously,

who wants to play on map someone else has created, where they know where everything is and you don't. Though it would still be a nice feature, I just don't see it being used more than some of the time. I've got to play a game for almost year over any who will just have it for the PC. I'd rather see Epic try and create some innovative stuff, instead of worring who they might p!ss of next.

I'd imagine they'd incorperate some of the content into GoW2 (which he's "never heard of"), like the Brumak battle. I expect them to compensate for it in some way.

7 - I don't care what anyone says, I feel like Epic just sh!t all over us!

I've been playing/supporting Gears since it came out, like we all have but, it seems now that none of that matters, WE don't matter.

And what's more is they're saying the PC version is better since it's designed to use the "latest and greatest optimizations and features".
Oh, and don't forget, the 360 must be garbage since the "new content is not easily compatible with the Xbox 360 version."

WTF is this?!
Thanks for nothing Epic! And screw you too!

8 - This should not come as a shock to people

A lot of PC games that are ported from console have additional contents. Jade Empire, GTA series, Metal Gear Solid Substance and many other PC ports have additional contents that the console versions do not.

And PC ports usually have (and should have) better graphic than the console versions. Even Final Fantasy 7 PC has better graphics than the PS version.

It's only Microsoft's 1st-party games (like Halo) that have inferior PC versions because Microsoft is trying to screw over PC gaming and encourage gamers to move to Xbox. Why? Because Microsoft does not get a cut out of the revenues of PC games like they do for Xbox games.

There is nothing financial about games for Windows. If anything MS would be paying developers to put the branding on the game. GFW just means that the devs incorporated stuff like Vista's built in game features like parental monitoring.

If it wasnt for pc gamers Epic or Microsoft wouldnt be where they are today. the x360 is a descendant of big daddy PC platform and epic has always been a pc developer so they are repaying all their loyal fans some love with their game they made.

The x360 wouldnt exist without pc gaming coming first. They nicked all our spare parts to create the x360 hehe.

The unreal engine 3 is continuously being updated so the x360 version of UE3 wont be compatible with the pc version. I guess thats the downside of console gaming. Its static hardware and software engines :)

Get a grip x360 fanboys the pc finally got something u didnt and u cry about it. Think about all the games u nicked off the pc platform...

I can understand why 360 owners might be bothered here. Its not just the fact that GOW for pc has additional content. Its also a matter of the story line being thrown off. The Brumak was in GOW for 360 and most people thought they would eventually get a chance to hand the Brumak his ass in the sequel.

So with that theory being put to rest by Marcus and Dom taking it out in the PC version; it leaves me to wonder why Epic put the Brumak in the 360 version to begin with. Its a matter of ethics and it seem like Gears on 360 is somehow less complete in comparison to the pc version, atleast by my standards.

At any rate, its Epics game and Epics decision. So, i cant be mad but I DO ENVY THE PC VERSION.

18 - Game of the year edition.

Trust me, the 360 will see the PC version of Gears, probably in a game of the year edition.
If there is money to be had Microsoft will get it.
We'll see it when it dies down on the PC or right before Gears 2.

19 - HAHA!

The worst part about it is... Nobody likes GoW anymore!

So there's not millions of fans waiting impatiently for anything GoW to come out.

The single player was great, but too short, and not really worth repeating. The multiplayer is O.K. if you don't mind playing with people you would associate with in public! But other than that... It doesn't really matter. I'm even thinking of getting rid of my copy!

Might as well while it's still worth something. Gamestop has too many traded in. They have alot of new ones that weren't sold as well. And there are better games on the horizon!

I liked GoW when it first came out, but it has had it's day, and should now be put to rest!
