Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony To Get its Own "Gears of War" like I.P. from Epic

Half way through this podcast hosted by Zdmedia.net they touch base on the Sony & Epic deal. It is stated that Epic and Sony might be working on a PS3 game that deals with the Gears of War universe not necessarily Gears of War 2. The deal that Sony and Epic signed was a multi-part deal, so there could be other things besides the UT3 exclusivity deal.

speculation is all it is.



Seriously, I don't own a 360, but anybody who trashes Gears of War (or games like it for that matter) is just plain stupid. Even though it was kind of mindless, it was one of the best games I have EVER played, and I don't even consider myself that big of an FPS fan. The Wii's title base isn't as diverse as you would think either. Just quit with the trolling.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

1) I don't see anyone trashing Gears of War. Do you?

2) I don't see anyone mentioning the Wii in this topic except you.

3) I don't see any trolling either.

Try to keep on topic.

I've heard ramblings that Epic isn't entirely pleased with the "closed" nature of Live, which is why UT3 is being released first on the PS3 and PC, and allowing mods to pass from the PC to the PS3. But I don't know how plausible it would be to see a game based in the Gears of War universe on the PS3. Microsoft published Gears of War, so they pretty much have say about where it goes.

Well, I think it could be similar to Monolith making F.E.A.R. Their publisher, Vivendi, owns the rights to the F.E.A.R name and the only way they can make another game in the 'F.E.A.R' universe is to name it something else. I don't remember their exact situation of why they'd have to do that, maybe it was to change publishers or something. That we have seen by their contest they've (or still are, I have no idea) hosted for people to send them ideas for a title.

Microsoft is the publisher of the Gears of War series, or just the first two I think.

"Why do they call it the xbox 360? Because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away" 

I think Gears was a horrible game...oh yeah, the Wii lineup is f*****g killer, and owns everything including the kitchen sink and sliced bread!!!!

...sorry, didn't want akuma to feel bad about ranting =). As for the thread itself, sounds like something positive for Ps3 fans. I really want to try Gears at some point in the future. The commercials for that game is killer and I love the track they play "Mad World".

edit:  For non english speakers, I was kidding about the first part!  Just wanted to clarify before someone gets upset about me being flippant.

Who are you talking to??? No one trashed gears of war.... and it's not an FPS game.

Geez, this thread is about new IP coming to the PS3 from Epic to rival GoW.

How the HELL does that relate in ANY relevant way to the alleged diversity (or lack of) on the Wii?

I seriously wonder who is is the one really trolling here... 

At topic: I hope this is new IP - given Epic's stance towards consoles, piracy and elevated development costs, this can only mean one thing: GoW and NewIP both confirmed for the PC!



WOW!!! Epic and Sony making a game based on the Gears of War universe...gosh!!! im defintetly getting a PS3...this is gonna push some units i hope...but its speluation right now...but i hope it comes to light!!!
