Gears of War 2 coming to PC? 3.0

[JUGGERNUT]

The other ones got closed....

Third time is the charm I suppose....

Well, what do ya think PC gamers, do ya think we have a chance since E3 is coming up?

I say YES! We have a chance, even when it's a small, microscopic chance so slim it is only two dimensional I still consider it to be a chance, Gears 2 PC has that chance!

YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

[Immortallium]

I say long live the Gears of War coming to PC? series.

[shadissith]

ok here we go again for the third time, remember guys, no comparisons or epic bashing. Good to see we still havent given up hope!

[darksin]

Now i hope after people can fly finish bulletstorm, they can prepare for gears 3 PC porting, the Epic CEO already said long time ago when he visited Taiwan, no gears 2 pc this time, because piracy and low sells of gears 1 pc, and no editor either, but he also said they are thinking about steam release for games, so now this time more hope on Gears 3, Bulletstomr is a turn back, if this game greatly succeed on Pc, then Gears 3 will be more possible, i truely hope this time the ending of Marcus story can bring luck to PC gaming.

[CrisBlinD]

I wait for E3 2010, the last chance for gears2 PC is here. what do you think?

[SamRock]

Hey GamesRadar site lists GOW 3 for PC and XBOX! Could this be a mistake or sign that GOW 3 is coming for PC too???

I still havent lost hope.... but I will certainly lose interest if EPIC and MS continues to IGNORE us

[CrisBlinD]

plosible as you launch Gears of War 3 for PC was not even removed if the Gears of War 2 so far? I hope not as the call of duty 3 which was never released for PC.

Looks nice, this time Gears 3 seems more possible a pc port later than 360, first no real Epic games for pc for a long time, bulletstorm is PCF work, second the editor need a update, pc sellings is low but i hope Epic can think about pc game in future, they need a true great game to dominate this realm, not FPS UT but TPS Gears...

[blast]

Id love it for pc, but i dont think it will.

[_borsdy]

I would like to have this too.

[CraZgamer902]

I really want PC gaming to make a comeback. Epic should release GOW2 PC, which will support this comeback. Do it for the fans, NOT the money. I love Epic, and I want them to be BETTER than Micro$oft, and listen to their fans, which I know they do, or GOW2 wouldnt of had FIVE Title Updates.

[JUGGERNUT]

They will have six at some point, I stil hold out for it to enable cross-platform with the pc when it is released.

[Paladinion]

Can u blame GOW1 for having low sales? Its a MOTHERF****** NIGHTMARE to get the game to run...

[MalebolgiaXX]

Dude.....language please. These guys are nice enough to let us open yet another Gears 2 for PC thread. As far as Gears 2 for PC goes, I'm pretty much over it. I just read the latest Game Informer. Contrary to popular opinion, Bulletstorm is NOT going to be just another FPS. I'm hyped for it. I suggest everyone check it out.

[darksin]

It's really funny to see in Gears 3 forum people want a new editor, mapping for console? better make a PC version like UT3 then make all version maps and fully mods support, if Epic can think about it this time, and not leave pc Gears fans alone, i hope they make a possible port plan later than 360 this time. 3 years waiting man, after 3 years we want to play a cover system Gears so much more than another new FPS.

checked out, it's gonna kick serious arse. as for the guys...yeah they're nice enough to chuck our section into the "title updates & general support" section of the forum.

no epic bashing or anything but that still feels nasty.

[JUGGERNUT]

At least they haven't hidden the modding section away somewhere, that would be terrible.

Agreed darksin, I haven't waited all this time to play a fps, I want the tps sequel to the game that changed the world.

[darksin]

You see the problem is FPS lack the ability to add more innovational gameplay, so nothing special about bulletstorm even it's a nice game, when a new Gears released, it change the TPS gaming and establish a new standard, never seen before gameplay each time, very unique, after several years still no same type game can beat Gears, it's the king in this realm.

I hope Epic can realise that they made the game history, so plz port Gears to PC this time, yes due to piracy and low profit no Gears 2 PC but this time can you care more about PC gaming developing? If no Gears on PC then there will be no truely good game on PC any more, Epic is not MS and they always treat PC well, we are glad to see Bulletstorm for PC, but we will feels so much more great if Epic can make the PC version new Gears with the new editor all platform for fans like UT3. The community of Gears PC is not big currently but it's growing like early UT.

[piiniie]

If gears 2 comes out for the pc, I will give a party and pre order the game right away!! It could be 200 buck I wouldn't care!!!

The first gears for the PC was perfect, and I played a lot on the 360!! But it's not even comparable! On the PC is amazing, everything! the 60 fps lock, graphics, It's meant to be played with keyboard and mouse!!!

It's been the 17º time I'm playing with a friend in the co op mode!! The game kicks ass!!

PLEASE PLEASE BRING GEARS 2 FOR THE PC!! YOU GUYS HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE!!

[CivilKnight]

EPIC alrady accounded it wont be, but we can always hope.

[ryan219]

Use the search button please...

[JUGGERNUT]

Why, E3 hasn't come yet.

Anyways, there seems to be preparation for TU6, meaning it'll be around another month or so before it is released, which hopefully will be related to E3. Gears 2 PC would be a nice surprise if TU6 had something to do with it.

[darksin]

After read the gameinformer magazine, i can see Gears 3 will be so much better than 2, new weapon, mutant tentacle locusts, vehicles, a new black cog/stranded teammate, nice kick actions, etc,very nice model and level design...i think this time Gears 3 has more chance come to PC, with a fully updated editor, no game from Epic themself on PC for 3 years, i hope they can think about this port after 360 release this time.

[JUGGERNUT]

Well, on the first page of google today I went to one of the forum links.... it's nice to see someone from Epic care about PC gamers.

We still do PC, we still love the PC, but we already saw the impact of piracy: it killed a lot of great independent developers

Yeah right...
PC Gamers still buy games. The problem is that you, Epic Games, haven't released any demos. We need demos so we can see if the game runs at all or not, because system requirements always lies.
Valve hasn't stopped making PC Games and Free DLCs for PCs.
It proves that EPIC Games doesn't care about PC Gaming anymore, unlike Valve.

All I can say that I'm deeply disappointed with Epic Games. It's because of them, PC Gaming is getting crappier.

I really hope one of Epic Games Devs can explain why there weren't any demos or any support for PC version of GoW at all?

Epic released a nice demo of UT3 one month ahead of game release. Epic supported the game that had quite low online player-count pretty much from the start for 1.5 years after it's release with 5 patches. About one year after release they rolled-out a huge bonus-pack (16 maps + 2 new gametypes and 2 new vehicles) absolutely for free. If that's not caring, I wonder what's proper caring looks like.

[JUGGERNUT]

Well, TU6 release notes have been posted, nothing about gears 2 pc.... E3 is the absolute last hope.

[Dark Glasses]

What about Gears of War? Since UT3 and GoW performance is bit different. GoW Stutters while UT3 doesn't.

Your right about that, but I don't see GoW 2&3 for PC.

I really hope they'll release GoW 2&3 for PC. Playing GoW on Xbox doesn't give great experience, since it has 30fps cap, black bars on 4:3 monitor and playing with gamepad is slow.

[darksin]

They still support UT because it's always mainly for PC, big fan base for more than 10 years, but Gears is for console first, sells low on pc, i think they always think FPS come to PC and TPS belongs to console, so this time Bulletstorm come to PC, Gears 3 currently still only for 360.

[Dark Glasses]

i think they always think FPS come to PC and TPS belongs to console

Never understood that because TPS works better on PC rather than on consoles, at least on GoW PC.

It's funny how he said that "piracy is killing independent developers"...
I Lol'd a lot. Epic speaks like they were the center of the universe. They relesed a game a year later for us, with no dedicated servers, a lot of bugs(before the latest patchs), and a sloppy support. With all of this, they still expected a best seller game? LOL

Let's see, http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...Half-a-Million

Torchlight, a very independent game, sells half million copies. A LOT more than Gears of War. And Torchlight doesn't even have multiplayer...

And this is just ONE example. Anyone could check Steam(even epic) and see how well all goes for the independent games, and even for the big developers.

Also, there's some articles showing that PC platform is one of the best to make money, going against theses speeches we heard from some complaining game companies.

I think Epic is trying to rickroll us. But isn't working, at least for me.

[T-6000]

I've basically given up all hope on seeing Gears of War 2 (Or 3, for that matter) coming to the PC. I think they were serious when they said that Gears of War 2 wasn't coming to the PC. A GOW3 announcement with no GOW2 PC version doesn't instill much confidence, and neither does this:

http://www.bluesnews.com/s/110338/ep...piracy-and-pcs

Piracy is rampant on most other consoles and systems, on the Xbox 360, the PSP, even the Nintendo DS. My brother's Co-Worker whipped out a DS and played pirated DS games with a flash card. If done right, PC releases can be profitable. Look at Valve, they still generate plenty of revenue on the PC. It's really frustrating that Epic gave us PC Gears of War and I loved it alot, only to learn that I'll never see the sequels on the PC. If Epic announces GOW2 PC in the future, I'll still buy it. But it's sad to see them alienate their fans on the PC, especially since I bough all of their PC titles since the first Unreal title.

[Dark Glasses]

This happens when game is not PCish.

and a sloppy support.

That pretty much killed the game.

[Nameless1]

I don't care anymore. Lots of fantastic games coming out to look forward to (Crysis 2, Dead Space 2, Mafia 2, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Witcher 2....) Gears is like sh*t compared to them. And that Capps is always bashing PC in every interview, just because Gears didn't do well suddenly PC is dying bla bla bla...
Makes me sick..

[darksin]

Yes, Mike Capps always said that, Epic's game on PC sold not well, Gears 1 just sold less than 10 percent of 360 copies, on console they can easily get a lot more money, the console have piracy problem but they can't play mp on live, so they won't bother a pc version this time. Now if they have a good mood, they'll let some Bulletstorm come to pc, but for first class big titiles like Gears, always hard to happen.

[SamRock]

If they really want to control Piracy. They can give us option to create online accounts and only start the game by logging in and authenticating users online. Battlefield games always do that and it works great.... You can always have offline versions for SP. Torchlight on Steam uses Cloud computing/servers to save your progress online! And in this age almost everyone has access to internet! So its not a big deal working that way.

Once done with the Single player campaigns, gamers will stick around for the MP only.. I play Battlefield Bad Company 2 everyday(read nite).. login to my online account.. its not a pain at all (Thank You EA and DICE for bringing it to PC!!!)

And when we PC gamers spend 100s of dollars on upgrading a PC , why wouldn't we buy a GAME THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO PLAY ON OUR BADASS PC??

[Regional Coffee]

Already done. Ubisoft does it with most of their titles, in fact if you lose your internet connection, the game boots you out. Even in single player.

...and it's already been cracked.

I have no hope for it now, not after Epic's comments. I thought the biggest barrier was MS, but now I think it goes both ways.

[darksin]

Good news, Fable 3 will come to PC this year, i hope they can think about Gears 3 port next year after console release, although Alan Wake became 360 exclusive...

[JUGGERNUT]

Did Fable 2 ever come to PC, I played it once after going to a friends house during a blizzard, and I became too focused on sword making in the blacksmiths, got all the achievements for it though...

Ah well, maybe we'll get gears 3 if gears 2 never happens.

No Fable 2 PC, but now Fable 3 comes, so i hope Gears do the same.
