Gears Of War 2 not coming to PC

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Actually, just remembered half the reason I still haven't really finished the game is cause the save game system won't work for me, only sometimes.

wgas about epic anyway? GoW was meh, UTIII was meh and anyone with a name like "cliffy b." should be dragged...I'll leave that one alone.

seriously the only reason epic even gets press is because m$ backs them. all of their games have been second rate compared to their counterparts. unreal was pretty cool like 10 years ago but they haven't done anything original, and certainly nothing great, since. its all marketing hype baby.

Who cares, I'll be to busy playing left 4 dead (on pc) when gow2 comes out.

I agree fully. The glitchy save game issue and unstable frame rates bugged the PC version all throughout. I fact I remember posting a topic here on that issue. Some great soul over here advised me that it was my fault that I bought the PC version without checking out the issues. What a load of c*** was that? I can't stop getting into splits.

I have no problems on my side. That said, it does annoy me when they say I have to update my graphics driver because it feels it is inadequate.

Yup, didn't really like it on PC, found it boring and easy. Would be fun with coop on a console though.

i am very sure that if MS is not releasing on PC, someone else will :D

Negative, MS owns Gears. If they don't release it on the pc, nobody will.

This could just be history repeating itself, trying not too take too much attention away from the 360 release. or it could be a tease for more people to buy it on the 360 instead. Or the sales could have been so bad, negative feedback etc they jsut don't want to release it for pc at all.

Time will tell :p

i didnt think M$ "owned" gears, i thought they kind of had this mutual understanding that gears would only hit the 360 and/or pc.

as for them trying not to take attention away from the 360 by not mentioning a pc version, this could be true, BUT remember that in the past when gears one was coming out they said they are "not working on a pc version, but that the possibility was there" or something along those lines. this time it feels more like a flat out "NO" to me.

I actually got the PC version so I could make my own maps. lol. and it was pretty fun actually.

Microsoft Games Studio is the publisher, Epic Games owns Gears of War.

That is what I meant, they are the publishers. No one else can publish a GoW game but MS. Pretty much the same thing at the end of the day :p
