Will Gears Of War Ever Go Multiplat?

Gears is likely to sell 11M+ between two games released within 4 years. They wouldn't risk anything which could potentially damage sales of their darling franchise like spread their resources too thinly and a cross advertising deal with Microsoft for exclusivity is something which definately pays off.

 

Not to mention how unhappy Cliffy would be, he is one step away from a self confessed 360 fanboy, heck M$ (or Epic) accidentally said (slipped out) that Epic was a first party for M$. The post is floating around somewhere on the forums.

 

I really don't think we will see gears on the PS3.

 

Well Epic already proved they're not first party to M$ with the release of a TIMED EXCLUSIVE deal regarding Unreal Tournament III with Sony for PS3. As far Gears going multiplat, even though EPIC owns the IP, not M$, I doubt M$ would let this slip and frankly I hope it stays exclusive. Like I always say, it's stupid to have multiple systems if they all get the same games - yes that's stupid. As far as Resistance ever going multiplat - FAT CHANCE. Sony, unlike M$ with Gears, owns the IP of Resistance so even if Insomniac decided to jump ship on Sony, which won't happen, Sony will ALWAYS own the rights to the Resistance franchise.

 

I don't think it's stupid to have a third party game go multiplatform.  Especially since I really like Gears of War 1, and only own a PS3 (and want to only own a PS3).

I hope that Gears of War goes multiplatform.  But I don't think it will.
