[Onyx Scott]

Can't wait for this game.

[Doug Killa]

Hope it comes out soon. Game play looks like a ton of fun.

[CHAINS4W]

This game is going to be absolutely EPIC and will show their versatility as well.

[Jim Tuna]

Any word on what the little critters that come out at night are?

Keen to get in on the Fortnite hype, Gears isn't doing it for me at the moment.

Gears, for me at least, has lost it's spark...for now atleast...

And if I'm honest, I feel more invested in the potential and concept of Fortnite than I do the current "Whatever the hell the deal is with Gears"...

I thought this thread had pages of responses? or was that another thread?

I thought this thread had pages of responses? or was that another thread?

That was the "Fortnite - Everything we Know" Thread...ridiculously similar names, so it's easy to understand how the mistake was made...

What's not easy to understand is how that Thread has seen so little light lately...then again, the same could be said for this entire Sub-Forum...

[dxfan103]

i think that there being classes will kinda ruin the gameplay...other than that its looks legit

[MDStocken]

Game looks amazing!

[DaRkNeSs]

This just for PC or is it Xbox as well?

[Jim Tuna]

This just for PC or is it Xbox as well?

I'm assuming PS3 and Xbox

I'd imagine as this hasn't been announced to be an Xbox Exclusive, that it would be available through all sensible platforms...sensible ruling out crap like the 3DS and the Wii U...

...Huh, sudden realisation of Hatred toward anything Nintendo makes...

...Yet I don't directly hate Nintendo...

...Well there's a thing...

[The lancer king]

This game looks to catoony compared to the bulky gore guys of gears of war but however I like and wanted a game like this for years and up until now the info has been great and it has a really good concept

[Bazinga-A7X]

This game does not have me yet. Looks cartoony, but I said that about Borderlands , and that game tied me up for months.
Need alot more info before I make a call on this, but as of right now, I'll pass.

[ummie4]

I'm assuming PS3 and Xbox

...and PC? I wanna know if I have any business even caring about this game.
