Epic threatens to bring Gears to ps3...

Bill Gates do something!!!! Shower them with that fountain of pure uranium dollars you have. (and give me a share too)

maybe Epic should donate all those DLC dollars to charity

 this seems like a case of Epic trying to look like the good guys but getting to eat their cake as well

They've been bad mouthing gears more than any other 360 game....its like the hipocracy of lemmings wanting MGS4, after bashing it during e3

You can bash someting and still want it...becuase you can bash it somemore and get ultimate ownage when one fanboys exclusive goes multiplat.  It was fun watching the DMC4 multiplat devastation of cows.  MGS4 would even be more fun.  And then if FF would drop....all the cows would be dead.

But at the same time you can also think those games suck (not that I do think they suck though).

Quick, time to buy a PC that can play Crysis!

"These guys were also one of the first to show off their game engine running on early PS3 devleopment hardware at E3 '05. It seems almost like a perfect match. "

intriguing...maybe the PS3 is actually the best console to make Epic's upcoming games on. Screw the MAN! (MS)

Comming from a sony source. Just wondering how they could do that when it was a 360 exclusive then, and being run on a 360 then. Trust me, It was my #1 game of e3 that year.

They know most of their fans are dweebs with little money.  So they take their money with their left hand while shaking their hand saying we're sorry with their left.

Just because the other 2 or 3 posts in this thread apparently aren't enough to get it through some peoples heads:

MS owns the rights to the first 2 GeoW titles, its not coming to the PS3 until at least (if ever) GeoW 3.

They own the right to publish it. It can be taken away if Epic funds to publish it on its own.

Yeah... I don't get why they keep making more content if they don't like people getting charged for it?

All they see is $$$ signs.

im not going to lie i was mad when they said dmc4 was going multiplat but then i remebered.................... CAPCOM LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. the last time they said re4 was going to be exclusive to the gamecube and then it came out on the ps2 and way before that they did it to the dreamcast with code veronica they put it on the ps2. it seems capcome always runs back to sony hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 

If Epic cares so much about gamers they should pay for their own servers and release the content for free as well as having dedicated servers for Gears and fix the damn bullet lag. Microsoft also should stop being so damn greedy and give me those damn maps for free.thirstychainsaw

This one of the pluses of Sony going with the non-unified architecture of the PSN, similar to pc online.  Devs can do whatever they want with their games for online play/features.

Can't wait for $14 games that look and play like crap.  If they lower the price of games I know that I won't buy to much more anyway because I already have my hands full with games to beat and multiplayer matches to play.  I'm sure many others would feel the same way.

Anyway this article sounds false unless Epic games just wants to make itself sound stupid.

My bad, Didnt see UT3 in there. No one doubted UT3 comming to 360 though, as the original xbox had 3 unreal games. 

Either the story is a fake, or cliff doesn't understand business contracts epic signed with MS. Either way someone is an idiot. Everyone knows that gears cannot ever go to the ps3 simply because the gears 1 &2 licence belong to MS. Who knows what will happen after the release of 2 but that is the reality no matter who gets mad at who.cjnwo4life

They could always change the title of the game the same way Rockstar changes GTA vice city to just Vice city and ported it to the xbox.

Coulda swore FFXI and EA used thier own servers. Which im 99% sure of.

I believe 1 & 2 are under contract so it has to be done under MS. Part 3 though can be done where ever they want it to be 

I don't hate Microsoft or anything, but I have to say this:

Microtransactions are F*%$ing stupid.

Not stupid, the prices they charge are stupid IMO.

I doubt that Gears will be ported to the PS3, as well as hope Gears doesn't go multiplatform, but it really warms my heart to see a developer that's not all in it for the money in this day and age. Hats off to EPIC for pushing MS back, I have alot of respect for them.DA_B0MB

Why doesn't Epic use the money they got off of XBL and use it towards the fans or something? Cause they did make money too off of every map purchase and gamertagpics, faceplates etc... 

If this is true then i support Epic 100%, MS needs a kick up the bum with all the Marketplace DLC prices the way they are!

I thought it was the first 3, when they announced it to be a trilogy. the first 2 to be on 360 and the 3rd to be on the next MS console.

How about they give some FREE gamer pics and themes away? Like all of them (not sure if they are available now or not and for how much).  So they may be free in whcih case...make more of them.

You don't need a magic ball. Cliff is talling out of his rear because Microsoft owns the rights to those games, Epic doesn't.

you wont be able to say that when UT 2007 and halflife 2 are released

You got this at N4G?  I should have read the source before I posted before.  I've read some real crap from that site.SuperVegeta518

I agree, alot of "cows" tend to use that site for 360 ownage. Which backfires on them.

Battlenet, Ensemble Online, Valve, etc. own everything else out of the water, and they're free.  Then download the free Xfire, and you can chat instantaneously with anybody while playing any game instead of just games within the same newtork (battlenet, etc.) and join friends' games instantly, taking away the last advantage XBL would've had.  All for FREE!

And the PSN could be like this if developers started putting in the effort, which they probably will start doing over the years.
