Most of you would have read the title and screamed "Blasphemy!!" but if you read on you will see there are many a valid reason for Epic games to release Gears of War 3 on the PS3.
Firstly, by releasing the game on a second platform you are guaranteed an increase in sales, it's simple logic, the more people you offer your game experience to, the more people will be able to buy into that game experience, being exclusive to the Xbox 360, has certainly worked for EPIC games, they make a great cash return on every title released due to huge sales, but there's no denying that if the game was available on the PS3 it would make even more money for EPIC games, remember this is business.
Secondly, the PS3 has a lot to offer EPIC games in terms of technical power, so they can really achieve their intentions, goals and dreams with the series. Looking at the visuals of Gears of War 2, and comparing them to Gears of War 1, you can be forgiven for thinking they are the same game, the difference really isn't much, although fanboys would love to spin it in a way that suggests it is. If however they utilise the PS3's capabilities we can really see a Gears of War that rivals games like Killzone 2, and Uncharted 2 in sheer technical brilliance and physics.
Thirdly, with the Blu-Ray disc, there is no doubt EPIC games would have less constraints on what they can offer the player, larger levels, better sound, more content in every area of the game, it would be a real shame for Gears of War 3 to launch on the Xbox 360's DVD9 disc, and due to size constraints become a shadow of the game EPIC would have wanted it to be. Think about it.
In conclusion, I think EPIC games would be doing a major service to themselves and games alike if they choose to develop GeOW3 for the PS3, and a major disservice to gamers if they don't, no one wants a gimped game that is a shadow of the game it could have been. Gears of War 2 is a strong sign that the series is faltering due to constraints and poor execution.
I wholly agreed. Hopefully Epic Games will bring Gears of War 3 on PS3.
wow, i love how you ps3 dicksuckers try to say how gears of war is such a bad game. but now you want it on the ps3? i can't take u fags seriously.
@xlxliberatorxlx, shut up u little xbot faggot
this article is totally irrational and biased, not in the sense that the 360 sucks but that somehow Epic could make Gears 3 so much more better with just a better processor. They would not put it on the PS3 its just not plausible or possible for them because Gears is partialy owned by microsoft anyway!
Nice way to be appropriate! Fuck off asshole!
Meh. I would like to see Gears (online especially) on PS3, but I think you overestimate the technical improvement Epic would invest in the PS3 sku of a multiplatform Gears3. Killzone2 and Uncharted look amazing in part because their developers don't have to worry about porting their code to other systems.
Even if Gears3 were PS3 exclusive (unlikely), it's hard to imagine Epic using any tech other than Unreal Engine, which is a known commodity at this point across all 3 next-gen platforms. Bringing Gears to PS3 would likely improve sales, but your other points are just reaching.
And of course you ignore that Gears 1 & 2 are PUBLISHED by Microsoft. It'll be big news if they don't publisher the third.
I would prefer it if the third installation in the Gears of War franchise would come early next console generation. Gears of War 2 can last many years if they can fix all the bugs and the insane lagging in multiplayer. Maybe a free map pack or two, and we're all set. Gears of War 3 in 2012 sounds reasonable, not that it's plausible - after all, it's a MS published game.
i have a 360 and a ps3 and if this was to occur it would be for the better. don't get me wrong gears of war 1 and 2 are easily the best two games that i've played on 360 thus far. Halo really wasn't that fun just because i had already played the other two so much. DVD9 disc drives are the main reason why some games just suck. all the 360 fanboys who are saying stfu ps3 owners who said gears suck you would being saying the samething if killzone 2 was to come out on 360.
If they use the Unreal engine, it's going to be meh like all of the other games that use that engine, unless the engine goes through some major re-tooling to take advantage of the PS3 hardware. I don't see that happening, since point of using that engine is to be able to easily port games to multiple platforms.
Expect the game to be held back by the lowest common denominator(X360).
Dude, is it just me or am I sensing major bias in this site. Especially leaning, no completely lying on one the PS3, if you look at the previous blogs it's all bagging. That's right, please take a look. Yes, it's better for Epic, but it's partially licensed to Microsoft. So unless some Satanic magic falls upon MS, it's NOT coming.
PS, if you didn't see the 'Microsoft Games Studios' logo, you sir, are a visually handicapped child.
PSS, I am not a Fanboy, it's called common sense. I have played both Xbox360 and PS3. They're different.
WELL,WE GOT Quantum Theory ! REMEMBER THAT GAME, ITS A PS3 EXCLUSIVE GAME! AND GUESS WHAT ITS ((JAPANESE))!!! YOU KNOW DEEP STORY, BETTER GRAPHICS, AWESOME CHARACTERS AND LEVEL DESIGN, BETTER DIALOG AND MAYBE IT WILL HAVE A MULTIPLAYER. SO IMO NO NEED FOR GEARS 3 ON PS3!
... just stfu with all this fanboyism jesus christ, my god it belongs on the xbox because not every company can afford for multi system production, so stfu and stop showing your "love" for one system. reason like this i hate even hate looking for new "news" in the internet...atleast i never have to deal with fanboyism with gamer magazines.
Whats with all the PS3 biased articles, are you guys on the Sony marketing payroll or something?
This article is completely ludicrous, PS3 can't even run Unreal engine properly. Its like you were looking for some excuse to write a bunch of pro PS3 rhetoric about how great bluray is and how powerful the cell supposedly is, LAME and transparent, what an awful article.
the unreal engine works great on the ps3... unreal tournament... may i say much more? Also if you looked into it, microsoft only holds contracts for the first two gears games so the third is up for grabs...
you clearly don't understand how bluray works
ppl are acting like little bitchs specialy the 360 fanboys just let the ps3 fanboys have there fun its not going to happen so you bitch so much all the time and there not lying it would be better for epic.
Well since we all suddenly want whats best for Epic, why not Gurulla Games as well. Why no article about how Killzone 2 should come to 360?
After all it is the "greatest FPS ever made" so shouldn't everyone have the chance to play it?
And don't give me any crap about 360 not being able to handle it, because until PS3 actually does start running games in 1080P at 120 FPS, it aint did sh%t 360 can't do.
As a 360 owner, its the most reptitive game i've played i mean seriously, adding a centaur and reaver sequence does give variety to the endless series of hordes, with just cover and shoot for literally 4 hours straight. You play it and you forget it, multiplayer doesnt even compare to Halo 3. In the end, ps3 owners should be happy they got MGS4 becuase theres no experience like it on any console to date.
All xbot cunts need a knife slid up their ass
go to fucking hell xbot cunts
I cant belive someone posted this, its ovious that xbots and ps3 fanboys would fight over it, i play xbox and ps3 and gears 1 and 2 were not all that groundbreaking but with the funding from going multiplat and the tecinal aspects of the ps3 gears 3 has a chance to be truely a revolutionary game, so to all the fanboys out there this would proly be a good thing for both sistems so stop the bitching and be happy
well written article, its not really biased at all. i own both consoles, and i surely hope GeoW 3 is on PS 3, PS 3 is just a more superior console.
you naive little boy why the fuck would microsoft even let the gears of war series be mentioned on the ps3 let alone give epic the approval to do so epic fucking fail dude
and to all you ps3 fucking dildo lovers the ps3 is not as powerful
I have a PS3. 360 and a Wii, and honestly, i find all of you points (minus the extra revenue for epic) invalid and biased towards the PS3.
To claim that Gears 2 isnt pretty and play down its graphics is retarded. Killzone looks amazing, but its all grey. Gears has more color. It looks a lot richer and more vibrant. And really, i think they look about equal. Given, Killzone has a more realistic look and Gears has a more artistic look. (really, who had hands and feet as big a Marcus and Dom???Really, have you noticed them???)
And yeah, the PS3 has a lot more horse power under the hood than the 360, but to claim that Gears 3 would be hinder by the hardware of the 360 is retarded. EPIC is a pretty capable developer and is very familiar with the 360. They could most def pull off some even more amazing things.
And realy, Gears 3 will most likely come out for the Xbox 720...launch title maybe??? who knows
And realy, gears on PS3 is impossible because of the license to MS. So, there goes any hope in that...
For your information dumbass, the ps3 was the first console to run unreal engine 3 with unreal tournament 3 a year before xbox got it so i dont wanna hear that the ps3 can run it.
Yeah the ps3 is statisticaly proven a more powerful system so go qq in ur tiny rooms u poor 360 fucks.
uh...yea, no. The 360 actually ran Unreal Engine 3 before the PS3 did. Unreal Engine 3 and Unreal Tournament 3 are two different things...
i wish people would stop using blu ray as an example they still havent got crysis level graphics yet . as for the graphics not much better than the original i own both do you need glasses or something some of the levels and graphic design leave the original behind . as for showing ps3 is better they havent done anything that good to even say that ive seen games on the 360 that could equal any game on ps3 plus wait for e3 then youll see.
You could say the same thing about any game...
I could see GoW3 on Wii, is would keep the same graphics.
japanese?
oh GOD DAM IT.
thanks youve realy taken all they hype out of me now.
DAM i was realy looking foward to this game now its dead :(
wii?
o please i played starwars the force unleashed today at a mates house on the wii and seriously that game looks better on a ps2.
thats pretty pathetic and embarasing when a game looks better on a what 8 year old $199 system than it does on a 3 year old $300 system
wtf seriously guys if your going to post something.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE SHURE THE CRAP YOU SPEW OUT IS RIGHT.
UT3 the first game to use the unreal 3 engine?
yea and im a 2 inch 3 headed dog.
dident mass effect use the unreal 3 engine that was out before UT3 was it not?
most 360 games use the UT3 engine thats why we havent seen KZ2 graphics on it yet.
50 bucks says if M$ went to a dev and said make us a game we dont care how long it takes or how much it costs just that it looks better than KZ2.
they would make a engine that brings the best out of the 360 just like KZ2s engine does for the ps3.
its not the 360 thats holding its games back its the engine they use.
uncharted own engine made for that game
MGS 4 own engine made for that game
KZ2 own engine made for that game.
3 of the best looking ps3 games out and suprise they all have their own engine.
not used some old crappy engine thats how many years old? cant remember but im thinking 3-4 its old and out dated.
M$ put some of that cash into creating a PROPER engine instead of buying exclusive DLC and FFXIII
its good game nobody said it wasnt, only the fanboys did. i would love to see it on ps3 but it wont happen
Oh yes, the PS3 is sooo much better.
It's obvious who knows what they're talking about and who is just gushing their love for Sony's enormous corporate cock. Technical terms aside, the PS3 has really only one good thing going for it; its processor. Processors do not make games look better nor do they determine anything other than load times. GRAPHICS PROCESSORS handle the way a game looks by handling graphics data, while RAM memory handles the amount of data at a time you can have going at once, and the differences between the ATI card the 360 uses, and the NVidia card the PS3 uses, are very, VERY marginal. Data storage is hardly a concern, either, despite what everyone wants to say. Gears of War 2 uses only 75% of the data space available on the disc. There is ROOM for more data, and that game has a LOT of data on it. Blu-ray is good for movies. You don't need it for games. Yet. It's too early for games to be using it, and it adds needless cost to the game system's price tag. The only thing keeping developers from unleashing so-called "true potential" in their games is something called deadlines. Sony, in their mad, desperate attempts to get their system to actually sell to people who DON'T have their mouths wrapped around their corporate dicks, give extremely lax deadlines for their exclusive games, which is why it's taking so long for the more popular games to come out. Microsoft, while they have a reputation for being pricks, is giving more strict deadlines, and they're not unfair...though they don't allow for the dress-up that the PS3's exclusive titles have...and need.
Microsoft is publishing/commissioning the Gears of War series. It will never show up on a Sony console, ever. And it wouldn't be a bad decision for Epic to NOT release it to Sony. You know why? Because if they released it to Sony, they'd have to repurchase the series from Microsoft before they could resell it to Sony; something that is financially not possible unless they want to take out a loan to repurchase the trademark on the series, which would cost them more money. They do not reap the sales. Money from game sales goes to the publisher. The publisher pays the developer to make the game up front.
So, in short, concise terms, learn what the hell you're talking about before you post more of your corporate love for Sony, please. And sorry if this is sounds like Microsoft fanboy-ism, but if you're gonna take a biased approach, I might as well do the same, even if I don't like Micro$oft.
You do realize it will still have to come out for the 360 so it would still be the exact same game as if it were exclusive... I swear you people are dickheads.
honestly every game should be on both the 360 and ps3
PS3 could have more graphics like kill zone 2 but at the end, Xbox 360 has better games,the best multiplayer/online experience, Xbox 360 sells more consoles and games than the PS3, period. and also Sony, guess what, has to use a pc running windows to create their games. So don't talk about the blue ray when Sony has to use microsoft technology for everything. PS3 still in 3rd place.
Also gears of war 2 sold more units than kill zone 2. So don't expect gears 3 on the ps3. Cry you ps3 fags.
Gears of War 1...one of the greatest games ever!!! Gears of War 2...not that equal to the awesome that is gears one, but still good. now fast forward...Gears of War 3...a redifining moment, once again, in gaming history...I dont care what system its on it just better play like gears 1 or I will simply continue to devote all my play time to the "first one" and only the "first one"
this is coming from the biggest gears fan on whatever fucking site this is... why dont all the rest of you shut the fuck up if u cant seem to remember how fucken technically and playability amazing gears is. The game is a piece of art, video game history, and comic book nostalgia all rolled up in one...with the most ingenuitave playing system ever(cover, shoot, roll, all in glorious 3rd person
Joe
didnt sony try to hire epic and epic told them that the unreal engine (the game engine that made gears of war) was not very good for playstation. Sames goes for source engine ... just look at left 4 dead and the orange box (which got released but was made by EA after a quite of time). I could be wrong but that's what I heard ...
Also, most developers are too lazy to use all of close to all of the 50 GB of memory except for the ps3 exclusives like metal gear solid.
um, regardless of wheather they want to, im fairly certain microsoft owns epic games if not gears. maybe both. I think your points r legit, but u r obviously a PS3 gamer.
This article to apply to any exclusive game on any system.
Why isn't Killzone 2 or Resistance 2, or even MGS4 on 360? It would benefit in sales wouldn't it? XD
This is honestly a biased, nevermind stupid, article. Exclusive games are exclusive games and it's the developers choice. PS3 has plenty of its own, so why do you care?
(To avoid any flaming, I understand that MSG4 on 360 may require 2 discs which is fine.)
if gears crosses over to ps3 then god of war should cross over to xbox!!!!!!!!!!
Microsoft pays the company a large sum to stay exclusive, and designing the games graphics for PS3 means you also have to work to make them compatible or even inferior with the 360, which is a ton crap more work which pushes release date back, and since it would probably release around Christmas season, that means a whole extra year. Business is a lot more complicated than you think boy. Anyone can use the logic more platforms = more money, but it doesn't always happen for a reason.
yeah sorry ps3, but you got shut out by the pc game developers, epic has been making pc games and now microsoft has that shit locked in place, and valve just plain hates the ps3, so no GOW 3 and no L4D 2, but hey you can look forward to the next metal gear soli.....oh sorry thats goin to xbox too
ye but microsoft own the rights to gears
and i really doubt they will let thier second most popular xbox 360 franchise b realised on their compititions platform, they may get more money, but does microsoft need the money????.....HELL NO!
