Epic’s Capps: Gears of War 3 and the next generation

VG247 writes: Epic president Mike Capps is confident that Gears of War 3 is the biggest and best game in the trilogy. What’s next? We caught up with the exec to find out.

Is it just me or did he confirm he had access to next gen console hardware?

“The hard part about getting to work with the hardware manufacturers early is that then I can’t talk about it at all,” he says.

“‘What would you like to see?’ I can’t tell you, because I know what’s going on.”

could just be talking about the Wii Um but it sounds like he is talking about stuff that hasn't been confirmed as other devs have talked about Wii U.

You think the developers aren't developing for the next gen consoles already??

Voxelman5039d ago

I do but to have someone admit they have access at this point is surprising considering how tightly these things are usually rapped up a tone of NDAs. Some anonymous leaks is one thing but someone admitting it with their name attached is surprising.

You can pretty much bank on developers already having tools to next gen consoles. According to a lot of rumors of a launch of 2013. If usually takes about 3-4 years to make a game for a new system. So the timing is about right for them to be working on new systems already.

The article is wrong in saying Gears 2 was a 2009 game. It came out in 2008...

"Inevitably, the team enters an arena area before being attacked. The scene’s set in a playground, and Capps is quick to highlight the boosted level of detail over the second game, claiming there are “significantly higher polygon counts” and “greatly improved lighting” over 2009’s Gears 2.

That the extra time afforded to the game has created something technically exceptional is undeniable. It looks “next gen”. It’s still locked at 720p30, but there’s so much going on in terms of effects and shading it’s hard to believe it’s Unreal Engine 3 running on an Xbox 360. Capps grins when I point out the immediately obvious step-change over Gears 2: he’d specifically told the team not to expect any engine improvements for Gears 3 because Epic was shifting its focus to the next console round."

This game is godly, ha!

I currently play Gears 3 often, especially after the 60 FPS Boost. Gears of War is my favorite gaming franchise, and the Locusts are the coolest faction in history. Gears Judgment will always be a disgrace for not having the Locust in VS multiplayer.

AuraAbjure733d ago (Edited 733d ago )

GoW 3 and Judgement were the last installments before the series went woke and soulless. I'm level 50 in GoW 3 and LOVE it's multiplayer to death. It's just so crispy.

My first thought. Deserved to be somewhere in there.

Vits893d ago (Edited 893d ago )

That is the most "normie" list that I ever saw. This does make some sense given the console in question, but still.

Tacoboto892d ago

Sure, the list itself sucks. But that click-saver table-of-contents, every list should have that.

BrainSyphoned892d ago

Might as well list it as the One's top twenty as well since all it had for games was backward compatibility.
