If you are patiently trying to wait it out on the PS3 in hopes that Epic's Gears of War 3 or  franchise for that matter will eventually come to the console, you may want to consider the alternative of buying an Xbox 360.  Cliff Bleszinski, the design director for the franchise was recently interviewed by Electric Pig.  And in the interview the often outspoken developer told the magazine that "I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon".

The developer reiterated the fact that he believes that Epic has a good deal going with Microsoft.  “I think our current set with Microsoft dictates that for us internally it makes more sense for Gears to remain a 360 franchise for the foreseeable future…plus I don’t like the PlayStation 3 controller.”  So the truth, finally comes out.  It's probably not the loyal fanbase on the console, or the other perks of working with one of the biggest companies on the planet, it comes down to the dual shock.  There's a little fanboy in all of us it appears, and not in a homoerotic sort of way.

Who knew Cliffy B. was so deep lol

I don't like it either...hi 5 Cliffy B

nothing better than getting people to buy the PS3 version of your Bulletstorm. Nothing says "we did a good job on PS3's version" better than the comment above.

why not insult their mothers as well? talk about shooting themselves in the ***

Really?  Calling Cliffy B, one of the greatest game designers around, a fanboy just because he doesn't like the PS3 controller?  Thats pretty rediculous not to mention the fact he never said thats the reason why Gears will never come to the PS3.  Its just one of the MANY reasons why.  Epic are far from fanboys they've released Unreal Tournament as well as the upcoming Bulletstorm on PS3.  It just seems Epic and MS have a great partnership together which has landed the 360 some exclusives from them such as Gears of War and Shadow Complex.

And nice jab they take at the franchise and Cliff wih the homoerotic statement.

Oh dear, who would have thought of that?

And me, sitting here in my couch thinking that  the reason for exclusivity came out of Microsoft wallet...

Of course it is the PS3 pad, how could we not thought of that? I bet he haven't developed any other PS3 game just because of that :)

lol.devs.

Yeah, so? Just because the CEO of the devs don't like the controller doesn't mean all other developers agree with him. Besides, putting personal tastes over a company's interests is somewhat dumb.

Why no pc? Does he hate keyboard and mouse?

Yes. THAT was the true reason. 

In all seriousness though, don't blow this out of proportion (for those who think this is anything to start hating over), it's just a preference that plenty of people have, and it doesn't mean anything for the development of their games.

I sure don't hope you're being serious, because if you are, you need help.

He is clearly making a joke. I don't know how anyone, not oversensitive,  can take this seriously.
