Gears of War 3 Scans Info Translated From Russian Magazine!!!

Mind them scans earlier this morning of Gears of War 3 from a Russian magazine? They've been translated already. In a basic gist, as much as our brain can compress, here's what we know.

Warning: spoilers, innit.

• Epic reiterates Gears 3 will end Marcus Fenix's trilogy, but the series will continue in the forms of spin-offs, prequels and even "a transition to a new genre".

• It takes place a year-and-a-half after Gears 2. After the fall of Jacinto, the government and COG collapsed with it.
• Humans who survived the Hammer of Dawn offensive from Gears 2 have gone off and formed separate tribes to fight for their survival. Anyone who didn't has its remains in ash, hence the Ashes to Ashes trailer. Locust are in a similar situation
• Ravens Nest seems to be the name of the man-made island that is in the sea. It can travel as well.
• COG leader Prescott disappears, but soon shows up at an airbase on the man-made island shown in the scans. Mag mentions that Marcus gives him the eye, but also something else: a recording from Adam Fenix, Marcus' father, who tells him how to save Sera. Oh, and here's the kicker: Adam's still alive.
• Cole and Baird now have their own storyline at some point in the game.
• Anya, according to the translations, "turned into a…badass, let her hair loose, put on armor, and now fights alongside Marcus." Other than Anya, there will be other female characters in the game.
• Lambent are now seen as the main enemy, not the Locust, and are also able to charge up to at least three Gears at a time whenever they're close to dying and explode.
• Other new weapons include a grenade launcher that contain earth-drilling rounds and a riffle that shoots single rounds alongside the already announced double-barrelled shotgun.
• Difficulty in the game will be lowered, with story and character development also included, due to at least 60 percent of people not finishing the last game.
• Multiplayer environments will also change and will constantly shift during a match, although it's not explained how.

There's more info here.

Wow... really? Lems are really bad at gears then, I beat it on the hardest and it still wasn't that bad :S

I dont like the lower difficulty part :?

I like to play Gears series on hardest dificulties. In coop it´s actually pretty easy

"Anya, according to the translations, "turned into a…badass, let her hair loose, put on armor, and now fights alongside Marcus." Other than Anya, there will be other female characters in the game."

Boomer Lady confirm then? Hells yea. 8)

60% didn't beat the game because they were playing online. At first I wasn't thrilled with it being easier, but at the same time it's pretty much a promise that there will be multiple difficulties to make it harder.

Gears 1 Raam on insane on your own was hard, Gears 2 not so much. Why make it easierif people are that badat it just play on casual.

Cole and Baird being developed more sounds cool. Difficulty being lowered doesn't.

game looks like its shaping up nicely.

But i would rather they end the series in an epic (no pun intended) way,

than to milk the franchise with prequels, rts games, Guitar hero: GoW version etc.

I would love to see what other stuff they can come up with. But i will definantly be picking

this up when i get a 360 :P

So Gears 2 is the Hardest Gears game? Oh man I'm going to have a little fun. :twisted:

it'll be a rpg-fps game, I read it somewhere, dunno where. something a la Mass Effect

i beat the game but on hardest it is unbeatable unless u are playing coop and the partner is playing on easy. on the highest dificulty setting u die from 1 or 2 shots at most and the ai aiming is almost peprfect

The last pic,the only gameplay shoot looks the best,it looks even better then i thought it would.

Lower the difficulty more really?
Gears one was relatively tough on insane.

Especially the mine kart section.

Gears 2 had one really difficult part in the locust palace overall game was a lot easier.

Now gears 3 on insane just about what gears 1 was on normal

only games I actually found hard was bioshock on survivor, and halo 3 on legendary. I should try Kz2 on elite though didn't try that yet.mayceV
