Gears 3 for Christmas 2010?

With five-player co-op, rumours US mag
Work on Gears of War 3 is already well underway at developer Epic Games, claims a rumour in the latest issue of US mag EGM.

According to the mag the third game, which is surely inevitable after the titanic sales of the first two, will be with us for Christmas 2010. What's more, it'll feature a new "five player co-op experience", which we assume means co-op in the main campaign.

It all sounds like a big fan wishlist at this point, but EGM also claims that Epic has a multiplatform horror game in development, a rumour that's already done the rounds once or twice before and could be likely.

Either way, it's looking like the next few years could be busy for old Epic. It's got to do something with all of that Unreal Engine money, after all...

Although its not uncommon for game company reps to lie. In a recent interview the big mouth of gears. Cliffy B specifically stated that there wasn't going to be a 3rd gears for a while.

Its easy to speculate that it'd be out in 2010 because the other two came out about 2 years apart.

I'm going to put this down as bogus.

I have a sneaky feeling the the next Gears could be a launch title for the next Xbox.

Surely number 3 will be on the third Xbox...

Does this mean the new Xbox will be out in 2010?

Didn't they claim that GoW2 had '5 player co-op' too - and what they meant was Horde? Technically correct but not entirely what we were expecting.

This announcement would be of no surprise to anyone though. The only big surprise tey could lay on us with regards to GoW3 was it wasn't a shooter, or it was coming to PS3.

Yes I'm looking forward to that amouncement. Gears of Wool coming soon to the PS3. If you've got LBP it might be there sooner than you think. If it hasn't already been made.

But what could they replace shooter with. I'm thinking Something akin to Halo Wars.

So I'm assuming from this that the fight isn't over at the end of Gears 2 then?

Way to go, unintentional spoilers. Thanks a f*cking bunch EGM, you ruined Xmas Smile

Heres a hint, once you complete the game, let it play all of the credits and ... wait a minute, whose voice is that?

I have a feeling that anyone that has heard that little snippet at the end has an idea of where No3 is going to be heading. Cant wait!

Oops. I must go. I have said too much already. Wink
StonecoldMC on 10 Dec '08
Great minds think alike Stone Cold MC and Rob S London...

That would tie in with the 5 year lifespan that games consoles seem to have. I wonder if 360 will have had it's potential fully mined by then though?

Still... Gears 3 for new Xbox on launch day. I thi... Wait... Ah man, I just had an accident Smile

No offence but you'd be a bloody fool to think that they would finish the fight in 2 how many decent series only have 2 parts. Good stuff comes in Threes. except terminator( i try to block the sequels and bloody awful TV show out of my head)

Anybody say Kill Bill and they would also be wrong. Its one film cut in two.

I'm pretty sure epic said a while ago that gears was going to be a trilogy,

However I understand where your coming from

Godfather was in 3 parts and that final one stinks!

touche. I think Home Alones a bit like Terminator. There are 4 of em i think, but i don't tlike to think about the later ones.

Because i've heard so many people tell me the 3rd Godfather films crap i'vew ner had the heart to put it in my dvd player and find out.

The Matrix was in three parts and it sucked.

Sounds bogus to me.
Surely MS would rather save Gears 3 as a launch title for the next Xbox?
I mean, graphically, they can't really make any major improvements this gen either, which is all the more reason to wait for the next gen and blow us all away.
vulcanraven01 on 10 Dec '08
Of course they're working on it. As soon as they finished Gears 2 I bet they were onto the next one.

But I agree, I think the next Gears will be on the next Xbox. They'll need a heavyweight title for the new machine and it will have to be Gears!

I think there will be a 3rd Gears this generation.
Could be Halo4 or maybe, MAYBE.... Rare is already beavering away with a new Perfect dark for the next xbox (cos it's done 'abit p**s' with this gen!)

If you discount the animatrix which was awesome. They probably shouldn't of bothered with anything after the first really. The philosocphical side got to convaluted and the finale in revolutions felt like watching an episode of Draginball Z
WHERESMYMONKEY on 10 Dec '08
I guessed 3 would be out in 2010 along with the movie of gears also the next bond film resistance 3 another mortal kombat and the next crap sonic game.
steve w on 10 Dec '08
I hope it's this gen. I'd have hoped aiming for Xmas 2010 would allow plenty of time for Clifford Bellend to get the Survival Horror thing out of the way and still work on Gears 3.
There's loads to work on that doesn't need the lead designers 100% involvement.
DSMaster on 10 Dec '08

Yes but Epic are still using Unreal Engine 3.0 and UE 4.0 won't be ready until around 2010.

So a Gears 3 for this generation is more likely, otherwise it'll be late 2011
