Gears of War 2/3 on PC?

Is there any chance of this happening? It happened for Fable 3.

I don't think it'd be a good idea. The 360 needs more exclusives as it is. The lems will rage.

Despite that being on the PC will make hermits happy.:D

Seems unlikely considering how long it's been since Gears 2 came out, but you never know. Personally I think MS will keep both exclusive, to keep some incentive to maintain xboxlive accounts.

I doubt it. I played the first on the 360 and never understood what was so great. Crappy, goofy looking characters. Lame ass story. They gun play was alright though. millerlight89

you sir msut read teh books, it really helps flesh out the universe and Karen Traviss the author is the screenwriter for the 3rd one, I am super excited for it.

Well Gears 1 on the PC looked a lot better than the console versions of 1 and 2 and had some added missions that were larger.

Didn't epic state the reason that they wont be putting any other Gears games on pc was due to piracy ?raiden509

microsoft put them selfs into a real hole . If they put games like gears or hale on pc they lose the biggest exclusives on 360. But if they don't pc users will think ms has givin up on them .

I doubt it. But Alan Wake has good chances coming to PC.RyuRanVII

The main reason Gears on the PC didn't get a lot of love from people was because the game was not getting a lot of support from the company.

They just put it out and left it.

They didn't bother to fix any problems that some people had.

If they gave the game a lot of support on the PC then they might receive a lot more customers.

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] You think so? Has there been any rumors floating around? I would love to play this game on the PC. Nega3

Also, Microsoft is coming back to PC Gaming. There're three titles announced, including Fable III, and one unnanounced.

I doubt either will make an appearance for PC. Though MS is back to looking at PC as a proper gaming platform it seems.

If it comes to PC, I'd buy it. :P

On topic, if MS were to port Gears 2 and 3 on PC, the lemmings would probably throw a riot. Go to the MS headquarters with molotov cocktails and **** Wreck the place up. I don't think it would be a good idea. Heheh... :P

There are a couple of obvious solutions to this problem::

1) Keep the Halos and the Gears of Wars exclusive to the 360, since virtually noone cares about these games on PC.

2) Bring back franchises that PC gamers do care about, like Age of Empires (a normal one), Mechwarrior, Freelancer etc.

3) Buy the rights to classic PC games and make sequels of them for the PC. We need Wing Commander, Freespace, Age of Wonders, Falcon, Blood, Lands of Lore and a whole lot of others back.

4) Make new, original IPs in genres that PC gamers like and take advantage of the latest hardware.

I wouldn't unless they change the hell out of it. I beat it on 360, and what a huge let down it was. I didn't care for it AT ALL. I'd much rather Gears.

If Gears 2 and 3 come to PC along with Reach, then there is no reason for me to rebuy a 360 since mine died out of the warranty. I would love to see those come to the PC as I built a good gaming rig to play games on it so the more the merrier for me. I get my console fix from my PS3 so that is all I need right now.

Maybe if windows 8 and Dx12 is on the way. Need to sell those operating systems some how.

I don't even think Fable 3 is going to PC anymore, ms are such trickstersDiviniuz

i could possibly see gears 2 being released/announced during gears 3 releasesavagetwinkie

I remember Epic said they won't port Gears 2 over to the PC cause of poor sales of the original (read: rampant piracy). As for Gears 3, nothing was yet said, but if they don't want to port Gears 2, I guess a Gears 3 PC port is unlikely either. Xbox 360 also needs true exclusives and MS knows that.

The excuse for Alan Wake not comming on the PC was a comedy, though :lol:

Yep, Epic did state they were limiting PC releases due to piracy (or I should say a representative of Epic). He then also turned around, in the same interview, and stated Epic still see it as a viable gaming platform :P A little confusing.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gears 2 and 3 remain 360 exclusives.
