Rumor: Gears of War 3 Season Pass to Also Include the Michael Barrick Character Skin

Now as soon as the Gears of War 3 Season Pass was announced, which will include the Liquid Metal Lancer Skin and all the DLC released for the game for the next year.  The Pass will be available on Day 1 of the release of Gears 3, running you 2400 Microsoft Points ($30), giving you an estimated 33% savings off of the released DLC within a year from September 20th.  Now the Pass was promoted with a picture of Corporal Michael Barrick from Echo Six Squad as seen in the Gears of War Comic Books. (Pic above, full picture below)

Now it has been speculated and since Epic will not confirm or deny whether Corporal Michael Barrick will be included in the Season Pass as a multiplayer character skin, the rumor is only growing stronger.  Then there is the obvious fact of why include Michael Barrick in the promotional picture.  So we will know for sure on September 20th or if Epic confirms/denies it before then.  Right now that answer is leaning more toward a yes rather then a no, right now though.  What do you think?

You will also be able to purchase a weapon skin pack on Day 1 including 22 skins.

Because obviously you are a hater and don't like this. To like it you have to actually like this thread which you very obviously don't!

Can't really say anything without spoilers so I'll just say I enjoyed it!

How is it compared to other Gears?

You can see all the weapon skins in this vid aswell:

Just finished the second act with a friend. Great game! More variety in everything: environments, enemies, weapons. Still great shooter action.
Multiplayer doesn't have the dedicated servers yet (can't wait till tomorrow). But still very fun to play :)

You noob,  to like something from Nsanity you first have to be his friend o_o!

About 479 GAME and GameStation stores have promised to open up in the UK for midnight, with 20,000 shops worldwide opening its doors for tonight.

The big UK party will come from GAME’s flagship store in Oxford Street, London, while the main US launch will be in New York at the Best Buy theatre. Epic design boss Cliff Bleszinski is expected to show up, with Geoff Keighley also presenting a live episode of GameTrailers TV at the event.

Here’s the main list of GAME stores opening up. They all cover the main cities in the UK and thensome, from London & Birmingham and Cardiff & Swansea to Edinburgh & Glasgow to Belfast & Derry.

Trade Dead Island, get Gears for £1.99

Begun, the UK price wars have. HMV is offering the game for £1.99 if you trade in Dead Island. It also works both ways, though: the retailer is also offering fellow upcoming release F1 2011 for £3.99 if either Gears, Dead Island or Resistance 3 is traded in before September 29.

GAME is also getting involved with the action by let buyers get Gears 3 for a fiver if it trades either Space Marine, Dead Island or Driver: San Francisco.

It’s also offering the Gears 320Gb hardware bundle for £99.99 if a 250Gb 360 Elite is traded in.

In supermarket land, Morrisons are the first to blink putting it on offer for £25, but only if you buy a 2100 MS points voucher for £18.99. The grand total will end up being £43.99. The offer ends Sunday.

GameStop cheekily break release date

“Congratulations on your purchase of Gears of War 3 on www.gamestop.co.uk. Please note that this game should not be played until Midnight 19th September,” reads a note from GameStop UK as part of orders for the game.

A picture materalised over the weekend with the letter, alongside a copy of the game’s Limited Edition from the UK arm of the US game store giant.

Quite a noble way of getting around the release date. Don’t think it’s going to fly with Microsoft, though.

We’re at near T-minus 13 hours to launch in the UK at the time of publishing. Go get pumped by getting caught up on the reviews, and then get even more pumped by reading Pat’s two recent interviews on the game: one with Epic boss Mike Capps at gamescom and with Cliff Bleszinski last week.

The end is in sight.
