Gears of War 3 Announced Accidentally on Live

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Gears of War 3 will be coming April 2011.

After the success of the first two Gears of War games on Xbox 360, and the way things were left off in the second game, a third entry was inevitable. Of course, gamers weren't expecting to learn about Gears of War 3 the way they did this morning when they logged onto Xbox Live to see this image:

 

We suspect that the announcement was a bit of a mix up after Cliff Bleszinski was originally scheduled to appear on the Jimmy Fallon show last night to announce something new. Due to a last minute switcheroo, CliffyB was bumped to Monday's show; but we're guessing those behind the Xbox Live messages didn't hold it back.

While we'll have to wait until Monday night to get the full details, Edge claims to have a source with inside info on Gears 3.

With the way the Game and Film industry milk sequels instead of new property, who didn't see this coming?

This is probably going to go the same way as the Halo series: progressively worse. They keep turning the sequels into easier and easier games so the masses can play it. It annoys me to great lengths and has driven me away from multi-player gaming.

Cliffy's probably PISSED that it accidentally shown before his big reveal. Didn't he get delay because of that girl Justine Beiber, or something?

At least now he can make a joke about it on Jimmy's show. It's best to come to a late-night talk show with a joke prepared.

GoW (original) was fun, but I'll certainly skip this.
As cool as 3rd person shooters can be, I much prefer 1st person.

You can tell when games are squeezing money out for every drop its worth, unfortunately i doubt there trying to squeeze money out of this franchise. I played the first one and loved it, still trying to pass the seconds one, its pretty good and lives up to the first one and even surpasses it in some cases. I really don't care if they release this for PC or not. I have all 3 Next Gen systems why should i care, unless its exclusive to the PC then i would buy it. Can't wait to pass the 2nd one and wonder what this one will have in store =D

Get off the computer kid. You can yell your profanity into your 360 mic all you want. That's why the leagues of computer and software engineers built it for you, to keep you out of our hair when the real gaming takes place.


Epic, good reply.

I'm surprised that it's coming out in April. I had originally heard this fall.

Don't bash the Xbox 360... it's just a 5 year old mini-PC after all.

Was it really an accident? Inquiring minds want to know!

I don't get Microsoft (does anyone else?). They release the first two Halos for the PC as well, then just skip out on the third? Then they release Gears of War, but not GOW 2. It's like hey thanks for buying XP, then sorry for buying Vista, but hey go spend another $$$ to get 7 because we fixed it, but sorry you can't play new Microsoft games on it...you'll need a 360 for that.

CliffyB is a little bitch who is still hurt because of all the mean people who protested on the epic forums because the first gears for the pc kept crashing all the time.

So no, no gears 2 or 3 on the pc, because he is a whinny bitch.

I'm pretty sure they turned the difficulty in single player mode up...

On easy in Halo 1 I can literally just decide not to shoot things or reload in front of them and not get hit by anything.

The thing is.. Do we as a pc fun loving audience really care if a game is comming out on a inferior platform.

In a nutshell.

No....
