I remember rumors that Gear3 might be coming to PS3 but nothing ever happened, nothing was ever announced.

EDIT:

Can't find the rumor but i've found links acknowledging that there were rumors at the time.

Didn't Epic Games say once that they didn't get a dime off the Gears franchise because it was so expensive to produce? I'm not really sure how that's possible given how popular Gears was at the time (2 and 3 did 6m+), but it's interesting to think nonetheless if they were going to try and make 3 more profitable by making a PS3 version.

Gears of War 3 surprises me but I do know in 2005 PS3 demos did have an early build of Gears of War 1. Marcus had his mouth open the whole demo.

I wasn't interested in Gears, but this basically shows that MS was paying to keep the game out of other platforms. Good that they kept the game alive since a good amount of MS fans like it.

I'll take his point since he is the head over there and would know about a build for ps3 being worked or not. But since he says 99% sure I would imagine they had a building and he is sure because this is different.

I feel like this might be the missing puzzle piece in the story of what happened to the once great MS-Epic relationship. Makes it seem like Epic wanted the series to go multiplat, while MS wanted to keep it exclusive. Explains why MS had to buy the IP off of Epic in order to get Gears 4 made.

Yep. Those days were quite annoying explaining Xbox's dependence on third party to Xbox fans. We were arguing its status as to whether it was third party or first party.

In the Gear 3 wikipedia the PS3 version is brought up and Epic stated that it was not them making a PS3 version, but them using gears 3as a test of the Unreal engine on PS3 .

would have been more fitting if gears went multiplat, and xbox focussed more on splinter cell, their true icon.
