GamesRadar: Gears of War 3 Massive First Look

GamesRadar writes: "We never said Gears would be a trilogy,” stresses Cliff Bleszinski AKA Dude Huge, the loveable nerd-turned-super cool millionaire Lamborghini owner, and the bulging brains behind the 360’s best-selling original franchise".

there is a big shadow over the rest of the gaming world today maybe they should have released all the GeOW3 previews & screenshots a day early?

or was this all part of a plan?

[B-Real206]

It does seem like bad timing but everyone gets something today!!!!!

[Cevapi88]

why didnt they wait until E3 to release all of this info?? dont get me wrong it awesome to see all of this...but what will be shown off at E3 is what i want to know?? hopefully a time table for a beta to work out any MP kinks...talk more about the story...show the AI and if it has improved...just some things that come to mind when thinking about E3

Graphics look really groovy man! I under estimated the 360 for a while, but it looks like it still has some more juice in it! very impressive.

[LordMarius]

not really, Kizzy 3 and Gears 3 are going to go head to head next year, might as well start the competition now

[niceguywii60]

Head to Head? The two games are not even on the same plane success, popularity and game play wise.

[Fanb0y]

They're not even competing. They're on two different platforms!

"Bleszinski and Executive Producer Rod Fergusson leapt right into the fray. Confirming the sizzling excitement of four-player co-op, they treated us to a whopping chunk of Gears 3’s opening level, where the last few human survivors are barely clinging on."

-4 player co-op, not many games do this at all, not only does Gears do co-op but its always done co-op gameplay very well. The original Gears single-handedly sold more 360's to more new 360 owners who never owned the original xbox than any other 1 game.

JOY

I don't know anyone in the UK that bought the 360 for Halo at all. It was Gears of War that made the 360 popular here in the UK.

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

don't have co-op...and that's not good...that's why people still play halo..u could go to xbox live split screen campaign or co-op...same in gears...or pgr4,when u got ur buddies in the room and ur playing alone they are like...can i play? sure pick up a controller sign in has guest and play split screen online that's awesome.btw gears 3 will be epic :).

[Inside_out]

Why they are not releasing this at E3 is a big question mark...Cliff said Gears was never supose to be a trilogy...Hmmm...I think Gears will be going multi-platform at E3...

M$ has been quiet about the whole thing....Sony guy this wk said there would be an end to exclusive's...Pact dude said a developer would be going multi-platform...Cliff announces the game on network T.V...M$ says nothing....It doesn't matter to me...but it will matter to many people...Does anyone have confirmation if its 360 only...E3 will be bombastic...you heard it here first....

[FACTUAL evidence]

Sony's going to show one of the biggest E3 shockers this year...I don't want to spoil it though....well maybe i blew it for you guys. ;)

[ef-u-2]

I love gears and all but I have to say this HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAC MAN!!!!!

[Redgehammer]

I must say that was a serious information blow-out; and I am even more excited for Gears 3 than I was before all that delicious info.

[m23]

That was a lot of info, and it all sounds great. I want to see this game in action NOW. Hopefully they'll show us some gameplay at E3. I want to check out those new executions as well.

[silkrevolver]

...Colors! YAY!

[Memo-Xen x3100]

Can't wait to see what epic gets out of the 360 this time. They were basically calling out Naughty Dog recently so they must have somthing impressive. The demo exposure had the author inspired enough to type up 6 freaking pages.

[Galaxia]

The artworks and levels look amazingly cool, and the game concepts sound neat! Can't wait for this, could be the best Gears yet. :D

[KingKionic]

Im loving the maps in this article . Moving levels are always win .

[Mkai28]

I think the odds sound good, 4 player co-op, better story,updated Unreal engine 3,Gears 1 feel to it,dedicated servers, "just a rumor" more executions.

[Kingdom Come]

The game is going to be breathtaking.

[Unicron]

Looks badass. My hat off to Epic. Just please, PLEASE test MP, and give us a worthy final boss for the trilogy! The Lambent can be awesome, but the ending of Gears 2 sucked!

[KingKionic]

I didn't think the ending was bad,but the boss was .

It should have been harder like RAMM .

The holding the button down till the boss is done was kinda disappointing .

[tudors]

jetpacks KZ3 and Halo Reach, Naughty Dog helping with KZ3, Gears of War 3 UC2 style colors, but it's all good.

[blizzard_cool]

I agree but not on the jet pack thing, Liberation had jet packs

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

f**king awesome

[Akagi]

Right off the bat, it looks much better. Why? They're using vibrant colors.

[king123]

this sounds really good
that reminds me of the time I played Gears 1 I remember saying " can games get any better ?

[Hanilugtehul]

this game is going to be great no doubt:-)

[8thnightvolley]

my game .. and what i really wanna play next year.. this time i am sure epic will go all out to set things right...i hope the single player length goes beyond 15 hrs.

[crapgamer]

Gears 1 was the reason I went with Xbox 360 in the first place. Now with Gears 3 coming there has been plenty of good times with that decision. Gears 3 looks amazing and I'm glad were seeing more colors in the game. I cant wait to see how it ends!

It is so overhyped and the controls and movement are sluggish and slow
