I feel the same way.

PS: You need to except the FACT that Nod is superior to both the Scrin and GDI.:wink: Lets keep this on topic, and leave the C&C debate for another day.

Its not going to come to the PC, its a 360 exclusive, and if it does it will take years like with Halo and Halo 2.

Well, while that is indeed cool to hear, I doubt I'll still be interested in it when it comes to PC.. It's probably more than a year away.

I think I may pick it up for PC, since I don't have a XBOX 360.

Cool. But I am probably getting a 360 and to me it seems more of a console type game...so I will probably get it for the 360.

I don't want to play it eventually, I want to play it right now.  Hopefully I'll get a 360 soon.  I need at least one of the new consoles.

I wish they would just make up their damn minds. First they say it's coming to the PC, then they say "we have no plans blah blah"... And now they say something else .. sigh It's a crappy 10hour short port, who needs it anyway.

Agreed, like with Halo, I have never played Halo and don't care for Halo 2 or Gears of War, there is a million other great games out there.

Gears of War is nothing special (yes, yes, I've tried it)  so I couldn't care less. Maybe they will try to rush it and make it Vista-only to try to "force" gamers to buy Vista, but meh...

I bet it will be out for PC. But I think it'll be released just on 2009;2010, seeing how Halo goes...

personally, i found gow to be tedious as a single player game - and even as a deathmatch multiplayer game, there's little to it

it's coop where the game shines - get a good pal, get some mics and get cooperative and it's one of the best gaming experiences of my life

if the pc has the same level of coop support, then gow will be a very, very worth addition to the pc games library - if not, then personally i'd say there's no point in releasing it, the single player campaign is fairly humdrum, vanilla multiplayer isn't enough to tear most people away from the counterstrikes and the battlefields, and while the game looks damn amazing, by the time it finally makes its way to the pc, we'll already have a dozen ue3.0 games out - probably even improved versions of the unreal engine will have already hit the shelves even, so the game's stunning visual flair won't even be up to modern scratch

all round, solid game - but its excellence is highly situational, and while it's great for everyone who wants it if it does hit the pc shelves, i'd only pick it up if it had full coop support - but if it did, i'd definitely pick it up

all that said though, the thought of playing some warhammer 40k mods for gears of war is a very exciting prospect, so there'd definitely be some awesome modding potential for single player stuff beyond the campaign

The only reason Halo 2 was delayed was because of Vista.  Now that Vista is out, there is no reason to delay Gears of War except out of developmental concerns.  Its gonna come out for PC as soon as the console sales drop off a little bit.  My guess is we will get an official announcment within four months.

The game looks cool and all but with all the games like Stalker, Hellgate: London, Dragon Age, Crysis, MoH Airborne, Bioshock and other games I know for sure I won't get this one. Does look cool though.

Thats what Microsoft is doing with Halo 2.  You need Vista! Yay!  Like Halo 2 needs anything from DX10.

Are you kidding me? :|
I find it ironic that the people who considers themselves the most hardcore gamers are often the most ignorant. I haven't played anything on PC that looks better than Gears. Yes, Crysis, UT3 etc. will look better when they come out, but saying GoW "looks like crap by PC standards" is just downright moronic.

smokeydabear076
If its just going to be a straight port with little optimization for the pc environment, then no. Besides, inevitable doesnt mean its going to come out soon. If halo 2 for pc is anything to go by, then we will probably see it in 2010.

Get your Xbox bias out of here. My PC which isn't that expensive could run two Gears of Wars at 1680x1050 with 4x AA - at once. You don't know anything obviously and this is a PC forum. PCs are much more powerful than 360, we just don't have many games to show it off.

It definitely doesn't look like crap but if the low resolution textures aren't bumped up - it won't look good.

Actually an xbox360 could be equivalent to a ~$1500. games made for the 360 are better optimized because its made for one specific hardware unlike the pc which has to work with a broader spectrum of hardware. plus theres the windows overhead and compatibility. and yes pcs are expensive and they will always be superior. i have both a gaming rig and a 360 and right now nothing tops gears on a 40"lcd and surround sound, and a couch, well not until crysis comes out then ill be back to my gaming pc.

Probably a 1200 dollar computer. And Gears of War doesn't even need to be insanely optimized or anything, I'd still do what I said.
