Yes it was officially confirmed at E3.

Furthermore, and your're all gonna love this.

It's coming out for
VISTA
AND
XP​
 
Expected yes, but not the XP part. I was almost 100% sure that they were going to have it Vista only. Thankfully, they came to their senses.
 
Well when Epic is a part of it, they care about their pc ppl :)

Oh, what?

Maaaaaaaaaan. I am NOT buying this shit again for the extra content, even if it is XP. Please let it be available on 360...
 
I'm not rewatching the video, but I might recall hearing the word 'exclusive' for those.
 
The gameplay, it's somewhat new and fun.

I'm assuming you're being a cynical whore trying to start a flamewar so that's all I'm saying, feel free to expand upon your true desires for the above post.
 
Ahhh, ****ing sound. Pleasing. Weren't the gears team saying they'd stashed all the 2048x2048 textures away for use with the PC version
 
YAYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
It was confirmed? ****ing sweet sweet news. I can't believe it. Yesterday the rumor, and now it's coming.

Xp and Vista - HELL YEAH
More bonus shit - HELL YEAH


I was almost 100% sure that they were going to have it Vista only.

Same here!


At least 1 part of my 3 part E3 wish came true.

Maybe this weekend I'll have time to watch the press conferences. :)
 
I wonder when this is going to come out then. Sometime soon I hope. :D

What's so great about GoW besides it's graphics?

Tell me about it. I'm not looking to start an arugument or anything, it's just my opinion. I don't understand why people like this game so much. I am glad though that they're making it for XP and Vista. That's a good thing and I wish/hope more developers in the near future follow thier lead.

The gameplay. Sure, it's not original but it gets your adrenaline running when you narrowly avoid a chainsaw kill and stick a nade on your enemy and watch them explode.

It's sort of like a modern day SoF. :D

I've only seen videos of it, I haven't played it. I can't see how you wouldn't be impressed even just from watching the videos.

I really like the cover part of the game, how you can duck under stuff and peep out to fire when the coast is clear. I love how you can hide behind pilars and peek out too. It just looks so freakin slick, and so fun. The frantic enemy encounters and the chainsaw, and the gore. The tracers get me hyped. The effects are stunning. The levels look awesome. The character models are seriously hardcore looking. I mean shit, your character makes Doom guy look like a bitch, and I'm Doom 3's biggest fan. The graphics and sound are really amazing to me, but the gameplay looks phenomenal.

I swear, I've never heard machine gun sounds so awesome in all my life. It really really gets me hyped. At least on my sound system anyway - don't know about you guys.

Definatley going to pre-order this game and pick it up the actual minute it's available.
 
****ing awesome! :D

I hope they release an MP demo.

Because it's different and fun. How many games do you actually have the ability to really take cover behind every object in the game. I mean REALLY take cover behind objects. Not just crouch/proning behind it, hoping your head isn't exposed. IDK of any. It's a huge element to the game and adds a lot.

It's fast paced, requires teamwork, quick reactions, taking cover. It's a very very badass game. It's just one of those games that is really damn fun, where every feature came together and worked great.

Rainbow Six: Vegas has it and it did it far better.

But it was missing the adrenaline Gears of War has! Even though they're based around essentially the same game mechanic, Gears of War was more about the action, and Vegas was more for the tactics!

Still, I'd like to be able to jump in and out of cover by simply holding a button rather than pressing one. If Gears used that same method it would be far better.
 
That would be more annoying especially with a keyboard.
 
GoW did cover and shooting a whole lot better than Vegas.
 
BRACE FOR STALEMATE. :p

Anyway, this talk of 5 extra levels being exclusive for the PC is a bit lame. :\ GoW was like... the most anticipated release for the 360, so why would Epic turn their back on it now and suddenly forget about it? That, or Gears 2 is going to hit the 360 faster in return for 360 owners missing out on the extra content.

But even so, thinking about it, it doesn't make sense it would be exclusive content, because how are they going to set GoW2 properly if one half of the market hasn't played the parts leading up to it? Of course, this is all guess work at the moment as who knows when the new content takes place. But still...
 
Gears for the PC gets 5 extra levels of content, no? And in this thread theres talk of said content being exclusive to the PC, aye? Let's say the content was to take place after Gears originally ended... how is that going to set Gears 2 up for the 360 if the 360 market doesn't get that content?

The only way it could work is if the content takes place around the events before Gears for the 360 starts; Emergence Day. And like I said in the other thread about GOW, the footage and the way the characters were talking certainly indicated it was. So that's okay for the future of Gears, albiet a little annoying that 360 users may not get to play it.
