it's no secret that epic and MS aren't getting along that well now. epic doesn't like game for windows live and i'm pretty sure MS doesn't like them for optimizing Unreal engine for PS3. considering that epic is now discussing to make PC and PS3 crossplatform online. do you see epic breaking off from MS for good?

It's too early to tell but that would be pretty funny. Could you imagine Gears of War 2 a PS3 exclusive?

Putting it simply, no. I mean, if anything the PS3 could get more attention but I highly doubt that EPIC will completely drop working with MS.

Naw, Epic is money hungry. Plus, exclusivity is stupid. If I ever made a game I would release it for every platform out there.

The cross platform play is a mere rumour, the chances of it happening are very small, as BOTH sides will have to suffer for the balance.

MS has legal rights to the Gears IP for atleast 2 more games. So until Gears 3 is over with. THere will be no Gears 2 on PS3. simply put if epic left MS they would have to make a new ip for Sony. IE irrational games making bioshock instead of system shock 3.

I think you're greatly exaggerating this so-called "bad blood" that exists between Epic & Microsoft. There is none. They are business partners, and Sony is another business partner of Epic's. Microsoft knows this, and they accept it.

Epic knows that everyone who loves FPS owns a x360 over a PS3, so if they don't want to lose a big share of the market to other franchises they will stay with Microsoft. That the SIXAXIS is donkey**** for FPS games doesn't help either, having fun shooting without rumble? :|

The question is, could epic jump onto M$, since SK have yet to recieve their engine and the case is on SK hands, so when epic losses its money they will have to jock on M$ in order to get their money back.

That probably won't happen because the first 2 Gears games are contracted exclusives for 360. But we'll most likely see GeoW 3 multiplat.

I doubt that to. MS would pay up for Gears exclusively again. I dont doubt them and its not like Epic would be hurt by it. Gears has a strong xbox following. Sold very well 360 and made money. If MS pays up(which they will since at this point Gears is the heir apparent to Halo) then Gears will stay MS exclusive.

Could they? Yeah sure, they can do what they want.

Would they? Jesus Christ no, makes absolutely no sense financially to support the lowest selling console alone.

yes.

xbox360 could of ran gears of war better.

it's just the dev team at epicgames are noob's to unified architecture and ati pretty much, they are nvidia paid fanwhores, sponsored by nvidia.

But i bet you anything 360 still runs unreal tournament 3 better than ps3 and has better textures.

yeah but PS3 version would have better physics, loading times, and just run smoother. see thats what happens when you optimize. you play to the hardwares strength so you can harness it's power

this is from like 2 and a half years ago, but it was all over the forums. that statement si incorrect anyway, Microsoft has a Cantract to the exclusivity of of the Gears of War trilogy, for 2 of the games. because MS bought the Publishing rights, theres no denying this its been known on SW for years.

not necessarily, the UE is a multiplat engine, and since sony has work with epic on optimizing it for the ps3 its very possible that the ps3 version may run better and look better than the 08 version for the 360

this is probably a more accurate representation, though the difference will be very minor.

i didnt say the own the IP. i say they have rights for the next 2 games as well. Thus the Gears IP cant show up on PS3 until the next Gears of War games are done on 360.

[QUOTE="Ragashahs"]it's no secret that epic and MS aren't getting along that well now. epic doesn't like game for windows live and i'm pretty sure MS doesn't like them for optimizing Unreal engine for PS3. considering that epic is now discussing to make PC and PS3 crossplatform online. do you see epic breaking off from MS for good? Rob2223

LOL, how would gears of war run on xbox360 if it wasnt optimized at all for 360?

do you know what optimized means?

optimize get the most out of the hardware you are working with?

so you understand something doesn't necessarily have to be optimized to work right?

yes.

xbox360 could of ran gears of war better.

it's just the dev team at epicgames are noob's to unified architecture and ati pretty much, they are nvidia paid fanwhores, sponsored by nvidia.

But i bet you anything 360 still runs unreal tournament 3 better than ps3 and has better textures.

not necessarily, the UE is a multiplat engine, and since sony has work with epic on optimizing it for the ps3 its very possible that the ps3 version may run better and look better than the 08 version for the 360



this is probably a more accurate representation, though the difference will be very minor.

exactly why I said may, and yes if there even is a differnece it more likely than not will be very minor. This place needs more people like us

[QUOTE="Pripyat"]Epic knows that everyone who loves FPS owns a x360 over a PS3, so if they don't want to lose a big share of the market to other franchises they will stay with Microsoft. That the SIXAXIS is donkey**** for FPS games doesn't help either, having fun shooting without rumble? :|Art_424

Hurry lemming, keep milking the rumble argument because its not going to be valid for much longer! GOGOGOGOGOGO!

Milking???....your getting milked for a rumble controller your system should of had....lol:lol:

hurry go change the batteries in your remote

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="InfinityTomorro"]It's too early to tell but that would be pretty funny. Could you imagine Gears of War 2 a PS3 exclusive?Rob2223

MS has legal rights to the Gears IP for atleast 2 more games. So until Gears 3 is over with. THere will be no Gears 2 on PS3. simply put if epic left MS they would have to make a new ip for Sony. IE irrational games making bioshock instead of system shock 3.

Link to MS owning GearS IP?



this is from like 2 and a half years ago, but it was all over the forums. that statement si incorrect anyway, Microsoft has a Cantract to the exclusivity of of the Gears of War trilogy, for 2 of the games. because MS bought the Publishing rights, theres no denying this its been known on SW for years.

exactly thats what i meant. Until the Gears trilogy is done there is no Gears 2 on PS3. I never said MS owns it. I said MS has legit rights to the IP. Why because as the publsihers and the contract they made they have legit rights that Epic cant breach.

yes, this is what im like when talking to non fanboyish people. you may notice i try to be a lemming against cows, but im actually not a lemming at all. as you can see from my reviews :P sometimes i get carried away with trying to own fanboys, and become one.

we are gamers, of which there are few on SW. if ps3 was 300 bucks, i would buy it in a minute. right now i dont have the cash. but i will get a ps3 this gen, and most likely a wii.

im afraid you misunderstand my post, MS has publishing rights to 2 or the 3 Gears games, Gears 3 could just as well be ps3 exclusive as it could 360.

not possible for unreal tournament 3 on ps3 than xbox360 if dev takes advantage of both consoles.

xbox360 10 mb edram + 512 mb unified between gpu/cpu

ps3 256 mb dedicated for cpu 256 mb dedicated for gpu.

the ps3 is built much different than the 360, so different that conventional specs can't be measured side by side.Probably the biggest reason that sony worked with epic to touch up the unreal engine
