Forums - Microsoft - Gears of War 3 details reported by EDGE

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=242034

Bit disappointed about missing out on tonight's potential Gears Of War 3 reveal? Us too.

Just as well Edge is reporting a number of details about the title's gameplay, then.

A 'trusted US publishing source' has told the site that the developer's set to shake up the much praised - and imitated - Gears cover system.

New Locust enemies will reportedly have tentacle-like limbs which can reach out to player cover spots, while COGs will carry explosives that can travel beneath the surface to destroy enemy cover locations.

You can forget about pushing around burnt out cars too - mobile cover will come in the form of a hefty mech suit that offers not only protection but also the tools to dish out some carnage.

These cover system innovations will be on offer in both the singleplayer and multiplayer game, according to the site.

The game will also take place in the summer and feature brand new environments for the series, including underwater, so Marcus will have to break out the wetsuit.

Edge also speculates that jungle or foliage-heavy areas could appear in the game, as hinted at by Epic's Unreal Engine 3 demo at GDC in March.

There's no official word yet on Gears 3, so we'll just have to wait and see whether it's on the agenda for Cliff Bleszinski's US TV appearance on Monday night.

Edge has contacted Microsoft for comment.

Gears is awesome. Gears with foliage would be even more amazing.

Do people think March 2011?



I would say the first half of 2011, but not more specific than that.



SOUNDS AWESOME!!!!! Do want now!



Meh, hope it has better online.

I have read on several sites that Gears 3 will be on 360 and PS3, I wonder how true this is.

Me too.  Its gotten a lot better now, but it is a little too late and there is still way too much host advantage on the shotgun.



Cool.
