Morning guys,

I haven't been able to find any information about GoW 2 coming out for PC.
Same thing for Fable II.


Is GoW 2 coming out for PC or has Epic decided to tell PC gamers to go to hell?

The PC MADE Epic what it is today...... I won't be able to fathom their reasoning for not releasing this PC Game on the P C.

Oh wow.... just found this.

"The reason we decided not to develop Gears 2 for PC was so that we could focus our resources on making Gears 2 the best possible Xbox 360 game it could be rather than splitting them across multiple platforms like we did with the first one. I think Gears 2 will be a better game for it and that this was the right decision."

He can't be serious..........

So then make it for console.... fix all the bugs... and then port it to PC (all fixed up) like they did with part 1... ehhh... what's the excuse for not porting afterwards?

The standard for porting to PC anymore is to stick the Console version out first, let consolers pay the ridiculous $60 for it... wait a year, fix all bugs, add better textures (9/10), possibly more SP content, then release for PC gamers at $30-50.


rinse/repeat - why not do the same standard thing for GoW2?

thks,



PC Gamer

Well he didn't didn't say he wouldnt later. He just said he didnt want to slpit up resourses, which makes sense. After game is shipped, bugs are handled, I don't see why not do a PC port.

Unless, of course, the last PC port did not sell well.

I agree... makes enough sense.


I bought GoW for $40 earlier this year at Frys.
Guess what EPIC.... PEOPLE DO BUY PC Games!!!!!!!!
