http://kotaku.com/gaming/rumor/gears-of-war-for-pc-to-be-announced-at-e3-275897.php

There was video on gamevideos.com then it was pulled 10 minutes later lol.

This isn't a rumor at this point it's confirmed.

Will there be any game on the Xbox that doesn't end up on a PC?

Huh, I thought it was already going to be on the PC.

I just sort of... assumed. I mean, come on, it's Epic. Here's hoping for cross-platform multiplayer online

Probably not. MS profits from both platforms. It's akin to Sony blacklisting their IPs on the PSP, it makes no sense.

A cross platform multiplayer mode for pc and 360 would be mighty sweet

this is starting to look suspicous, epic isnt a microsoft company I dont have an idea why the microsoft is on the box for gears of war? They didnt develop the game, epic did.

What I mean by that comment is stating not talkin BS just in my opinion, epic games is relaesing a timed exclusive for unreal tournament on the ps3, they are starting to have a descent relationship with sony, and the threat they said to microsoft about realeasing Gears of war on the ps3, Im not saying it will happen but microsoft better stop putting those "ONLY ON XBOX 360" stamps on games cuz they are being ported to the ps3, and pc.

Uh how is cross platform multiplayer good?

Mouse keyboard versus controller? Do I have to explain how bad that would be?

Also, Gears is such a console type shooter, so much slower and smaller scale than PC shooters. How are they gonna make that work on the PC?

Sounds like they're gonna milk the franchise and I am highly doubtful if it will be a good result.

It's being announced and shown at E3.

Oh, it's not good, I know that. I was just being silly.

Microsoft paid for the development of the game and is the publisher.

I also don't see what the problem is with a game appearing on another console or PC. Does it make the game less fun? I know I had a lot of fun with games like Oblivion even though they're multiplatform. And as for the 360 when it came out it was cheaper than buying an equivalent gaming PC that could do what it did at the time. It still offers amazing game experiences and has some exclusives coming that likely won't end up on PC or another console for awhile. This just seems like fanboys reaching for reasons to bash a system. Am I correct in guessing this is what they're going to use when the 360 hardware failure problem is no longer a problem?
