"We're an independent company and we make engine technology. Don't forget, we're also doing Macintosh."

So the show's host, Geoff Keighley, asked: "Gears of War is coming to the Mac?"

"Yes, Gears is coming to the Mac and so is UT," said Rein.

One big announcement at WWDC was that EA was once again developing games for the Mac. EA, however, is using TransGaming's Cider to port their games to the Mac. As a result, their games will be Intel-only.

There has been no official word on the method behind Epic Games' Mac ports, but there have been comments that the Unreal Engine 3 was being officially ported to the Mac, suggesting PowerPC support would be possible.

Update: Ryan Gordon (programmer) states that neither Gears of War or Unreal Tournament 3 uses TransGaming's Cider technology.

Well, I'll admit that there ain't much sales to be made, Mac's are superior to Windows in almost every way. Except gaming. But for the most part, I like Macs 10x more.

Count me in, that makes it an extra 13 :P

Isn't the most powerful card on a Mac a 2600 Pro or XT? Not saying it's a bad card but Mac is hardly a gamer's machine.Supafly1

no...there are DX10 cards for Macs now....MAcs are made for mostly graphical design....which requires strong hardware.

I can't say this was unexpected. Epic is one of the few developers that actually suppoerts mac.thriteenthmonke

thats not true.....more and more devs are supporting them....EA is about to begin porting all of their bigger PC games to Macs...and ID has always made games for all OS's.

Where the Linux love at? Honestly, if I saw serious game support for Linux, I would then actually consider switching over to Linux.

I didnt make that original statement.

oh my god....

Epic has not only sold out to consoles but they are destroying the fans they once built up for some more moola...

Its not like the company is in need of cash, they have an engine technology. Not to mention one of the most played FPS's games of all time.

They should of just stayed with PC....

2600 is a Dx 10 card. It's a budget-priced card that resembles the 2900 series.

Now if I had the money to buy a Macbook Pro

Some previous Epic titles:

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 - Windows, Mac OS

Unreal - Windows, Mac OS/X

Unreal Tournament - Windows, Mac OS/X, Linux

Unreal Tournament 2003 - Windows, Mac OSX, Linux

Unreal Tournament 2004 - Windows, Mac OSX, Linux

This isn't news. Epic is just continuing what they've always done.

Good news for Mac owners.

I will stick with my PC. You can have your Mac :wink:.

Make no difference since gamers who own a mac will already be using bootcampLonelynight

yeah, but with bootcamp...there is a slight performence lost.
