who said that?

Good point.

If MS is publishing I don't think it can go multi-plat ever.

Last paragraph people

"They don't just market it; they do amazing work and they have a user testing team that makes our games better, and so each time we've come to the point of 'what do we do next?' we've been happy to work with them. They help us make a better product and do some really cool marketing on the platform, so we save some money there."

Not true, Epic is only having Microsoft publish the game. Remember the first few Unreal Tournaments were published by Atari, but newer ones are by Midway. It Is also similar to Valve which has EA publish their titles even though they themselves are a publisher or could get someone else to publish the games too. The devs studio owns the rights, and just sells publishing rights to a studio. Epic could easily sell publishing rights for a Gears Trilogy for PS3 to Midway/EA/Atari/etc.

So its possible for gears 3 to come on the PS3 even if MS is publishing them?

Mass effect 1 had problems so I thought maybe the publisher had some rights over a particular games....

Mass Effect 1 was different, Microsoft paid for the development. With Gears, they didn't. Epic's deal seemed to be that they would optimize their engine for the 360 before they did the PS3, which they did.

Ahahaha. Okay...Gears of War 2 really vindicated this claim, didn't it?

Now don't get me wrong, Gears of War 1 was awesome. But Gears of War 2 really needed some ironing out.

people still think MGS just publish it?...ok

Remember "busines decision" to push GOW3 to fall 2011?

Probably PS3 version wasn't ready yet

*trying to Imagine*

sony's E3 2011 conference... Cliffy B. walks into stage....

gears of war trilogy please.

or they could release gears 1 and 2 as seperate games
