Forums - Microsoft - Gears of War 3 delayed to Fall 2011

I've played both Gears, can you now just submit to the idea that some people like Killzone more?

Lemme see, so instead of condemning both of them and breaking up a pointless, tiresome debate, you enter the fray and take someone's side? Well done sir! *rolls eyes*

Picking sides would be me saying "_____ sucks".  Sadly I'm far too rational to say a game sucks even if I didn't like it as much as some other game. 

As far as me joining the tiresome debate instead of breaking it up some days you just want to be a poster and not babysit a bunch of adults on the internet.  I didn't really wanna ban either of them and decided to argue against the idea that Gears is in a different league and obviously better than KZ2.

Well the moment I saw this I was super pissed because I was readying myself for Gears of War 3. But the more I think about it the more fine I am with this decision since I am already purchasing Castlevania: LOS(PS3),  Black Ops(360), Mortal Kombat(PS3), and Crysis 2(360) from now until the spring season. The only thing that worries me is this pretty much seals the deal on a weak 2011 for the 360 and exclusives. I am hoping Codename:Kingdoms is ready for fall of 2011 because I am definitely interested in that game. PS3 has alot of exclusives next year I can choose from though so that will keep me happy along with the other games I mentioned until the granddaddy Gears 3 comes out.

 

Edit: I forgot to mention I'm probably picking up Bulletstorm (360). Alot of shooters. Makes sense to let Gears 3 own the fall and not be squeezed in with all other other shooters.

Now's your chance to pick up SOCOM 4.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Good, I can wait as long as it takes for them to actually make a solid game. The last two weren't solid but flawed in ways that potentially could have been fixed with more time and now that G3 is delayed lets hope this intices them to release an over-the-top quality game. So much potential for this burdened series just makes me kwy.

Epic: Gears of War 3 delay 'not a quality issue'

 

Epic has told us that delaying Gears of War from next April to autumn 2011 was "a business decision" and not "a quality issue".

Executive producer Rod Fergusson added that the game is on track to be the most polished Gears title yet.

"I know fans are going to be disappointed with the new release date, but rest assured that this is a business decision between partners, and not a quality issue," he said.

"Gears 3 was on track to be the most polished Gears of War game ever when it released in April, and this additional time allows us to polish it that much more before it hits shelves next fall. 

"Next week we have a major multiplayer press visit at Epic HQ, and I'm really looking forward to the fans getting to see and hear about Gears 3 Versus multiplayer for the first time. Lots more exciting news to come."

Earlier today Gears of War 3 was delayed by a minimum of five months.

Explaining the shock move, Microsoft said that it wants the game to be "the marquee title for the holiday season", adding that "Gears of War 3 promises to be the biggest entertainment launch of 2011."

Oh yeah totally right? Yeah they're gonna finish it by March and then just let it sit around until Christmas.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm not so much of an idiot to understand that the longer it takes to put product out in this industry the more dev time is integrated within it. Sure it was a business decision but I'm still glad because that gives them another 6 months to work on it.

So tell me, why on earth will they tell their fans "sorry, the game is ready but we'll force you to wait so it sells more"?

Wouldn't it be better, for them, to say that the game isn't ready yet?



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Killzone sucks sorry :(

dont be that pissed man

go buy another console/PC if you dont have enought game to play for early 2011



Time to Work !

Guys I played Gears of War 3 Horde Mode at Eurogamer Expo yesterday and it was the best looking game of the show along with Bulletstorm (I think they both use the same graphics engine as Epic involved in both). The campaign should look better. There were loads of graphical powerhouses at the show (GT5, KZ3, Crysis 2 etc) so it's a pretty stunning achievemnt with what Epic have done with 5 year old tech. There's more to squeeze out of the old box yet.

Wow this sux because it means Gears of War 3 will be the only big exclusive in 2011.

But with Xbox 3 on the horizon and this gen practically settled with the potential success of Kinect maybe it doesn't matter very much.



makes sence to have gears 3 as the flagship title for 2011 on 360



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Just when my 360 gets back to work on REACH, I find out its going to be laid off again. Danm Microsoft only rarely giving it work beyond the holiday season.



@ragebot  If MS did that they would be lying, I admire them for keeping it real
