Somebody at Microsoft appears to have flicked a switch a little early, with an advertisement appearing on the Xbox 360 dashboard tonight for Gears of War 3.
There’s the trademark Gears of War logo, and a tagline that reads “The epic story concludes April 2011″.
Awesome! I’m a ps3 man, and my friend who lives 2min is a 360 man, and I’ve only ever been jealous about Gears. I hope they keep in split screen co-op, and make it awesome :)
“The epic story concludes…” Does anybody seriously believe that GOW3 will be the “conclusion”? Nothing will be “concluding” until the bastard stops selling, and I can’t see GOW3 selling in significantly smaller numbers than GOW2.
Alls they’ll be doing is canning off this story arc. Its not like they wouldn’t be able to make other gears games within the same war period from other perspectives and sides.

Friday, April 9, 2010 at 10:32 PMBy accident or on purpose to build the hype? My guess would be to build hype….MS make way too many mistakes like this for it to be an accident :P

Friday, April 9, 2010 at 10:33 PMObviously Dude Huge was meant to reveal it on TV and then this was meant to be shown. Obviously MS didn’t follow up on that.

Friday, April 9, 2010 at 10:36 PMAnalysts expected an April 2011 release. Pretty accurate :)
Thats a year away though, what an annoyance.
I would rather them tell me half a year from release.
Also I am happy they are making it into a trilogy, not branching it out. A trilogy is nice and solid.

Saturday, April 10, 2010 at 10:44 AMFlicked the switch early? Nah. It’s publicity. Announcing it before it’s announced properly is a good marketing strategy. This is deliberate.
HotDamn!
