Epic's Vice-President, Mark Rein, quashes suggestions of a ten-year plan for Gears of War...

In the wake of controversy over the weekend when Joshua Ortega, Gears of War 2's writer, said that Epic had a "ten-year plan" in place for the Gears franchise, Mark Rein has now spoken out to douse the flames of rumours emanating from Ortega's comments.

Rein, Epic's Vice-President, told VG247, "In this industry you can't plan games very far in advance. We appreciate the enthusiasm Josh has for our franchise but we don't have a ten-year plan."

This was in response to comments made by Joshua Ortega at last weekend's New York Comic Con, where he told a crowd of fans, "You will not be disappointed in the next ten years . . . It's a ten-year plan. Gears is long-term. The lancer is the new lightsaber."

Following these comments by Ortega, the internet was soon flooded with rumours surrounding the Gears series. At the more reasonable end of the scale, some reports suggested that Gears of War 2 single-player DLC was on the way, while more extravagant suggestions were that Gears must eventually come to the PS3 under this "ten-year plan".

Rein has been quick to put these rumours on ice:

"We always have ideas of where we'd like it to go but it's determined on a game-by-game basis and ultimately by fan support," he said. "Our focus right now is supporting the Gears of War 2 game and community."

"We're working on the next title update for Gears of War 2 right now. When this title update is done we'll start planning the next title update for Gears of War 2," Rein continued.

lol M$ took a risk of releasing a crap and unreliable console but that diddnt stop people buying it, and still today people beleave the 360 is the top selling console thinking its sold over 40 million world wide (out of 40 million 33% have broken, stripped down for parts, or are sitting in game stores as preowned units) the totalnumber of 360's in actual use is closer to 27 million not 42 million lol you fanboys love to exagerate things dont you.

 

and likewise thr real reason why gears 1 diddnt sell very well on pc is cause epic mad an epic mistake when they ported it accross (no mid or low end pc could run the game pretty much what almost 80% of pc's are low to mid end, a high end pc is close to £800 to build and a top end is over £1000) if gears 1 had more options for lower spec pc's it would have sold more but typical microsoft was only intrested in lining there pockets with more $$$, also another reason why it diddnt sell well is cause of piracy, the game was an easy target for hackers who hacked the DRM.

 

if you go back to when gears 2 was released cliff said the game would not be comming to pc as if it did hackers would do what they did with gears 1 and make pirate copys and likewise its the same for gears 3.

 

you can keep your boring exclusive inferiour console game and control method (the 360 pad is a toy compared to pc controlls) the pc is for adults where as the 360 is like a leapfrog, lol you can keep your leapfrog exclusives, there sh** anyway.

id much prefer they placed gears of war 2 on pc and use the DRM of ubisoft, rather than not making one at all which is why i support ubi's uber DRM. if the DRM fails the whole PC-port games from ubi will crash and might end up like Gears of War...

and i was really looking forward for this game in pc, :(

Lol, I love how you PC fanboys keep b*itching about how Gears of War 2 is a 360 exclusive & is never coming other PC. You guys should just STFU! Gears of War 2 is a 360 exclusive & is ALWAYS going to be a 360 exclusive! You want to know why? Because when they released the first Gears of War onto the PC it didn't make them a lot of money. So why should they waste their time & money to make a port that won't make them nearly as much money as the 360 version?

WTF, this is hilarious. I've been consistently having problems finding a match. It usually takes 30 mins for me to find one. I've got great internet connection, I don't have this problem for any other one of my games. Left for Dead 2, COD, NCAA, etc. Only GOW2. I'm doing an experiment, see how long I can be in the lobby for, so far it's been 3 hours 22 minutes and 15 seconds.

This game fn blows. I'm really tempted to just take it out and snap it in half.

F U GOW2

Of course Microsoft wants to make money - it's a business. Also, the reason Gears 2 isn't coming to PC is not because it wants to make money from Xbox 360 exclusivity, but because it doesn't want to LOSE money with a PC release. It took that risk with the first Gears and it didn't pay off then, so why should it now?

These Microsoft people just want to make money from GOW2 by keeping it exculsive to xbox360.

lol why would they release it on pc in fact why should they all you lot will do is download the pirate version anyway which is what happened with the first gears game on pc so instead of [#@!?]ing about it not comming out on pc youve only got your selfs to blame (or the idiots who diddnt pay for it in the shops/downloaded the pirate version)
