Gears of War 2 not coming to PC

"But, the lack of a PC version means that we will get all of the goodies on the Xbox 360 that we should have had last time around."

...as DLC, and you're going to have to pay for it.

Epic has been dead to me since somewhere around UT3's launch anyway, so

so this time they are gioing to release the crappy version only and not the one that was passable....ok

Whether it comes to PC or not... it hardly effects 360 owners who were gonna pick up the game anyway.

I'll get it when it comes to PC.

GeoW was pretty good on the PC, I actually played it on the PC first, then tried the 360 version. The 360 version has some ugly glitches, but the PC had it's share, just not as many.

Heh, yeah. Just like how Halo, Halo 2 and the first Gears didn't come to the PC, right? Money speaks very loudly.

I second -PL-'s comment.

So nobody who has a PC would buy this game anyway since you can get anything else on PC and it would be better.

What assholes.

and that is not saying much since cooperative in games has been on life support since the 32-bit consoles came in a screwed it over 10 years ago.

@RJG:
They've stated that the next unreal engine will be entirely console focused, so I'm pretty sure that's on purpose.

Good riddance to spoiled rubbish, though.

I got a PC and I enjoyed the first GoW, but it not the best game out there, it was ok for what it is.

They will eventually release a pc port... after all, everyone says "no way" because of exclusives, remember Bioshock for the PS3?

@flabzilla
No, PC players are just bigger douchebags than console gamers. ;)

and the xbox 360 got a horrible port of Bioshock with crappy lighting and worse water effects and blury textures.

Oh suck ass analog stick control.

Mark Rein never said there wouldn't be a PC version (of gears 1). He just said it wasn't in the works (when he was asked). Cliff B. is explicitly stating that they're not going to release it on PC at a later date, a la Gears 1.

05/2005
Mark Rein: "Could we, in the future, adapt Gears for Windows just as Microsoft did with Halo? Sure we could and, as you can see from J Allard's comments, Microsoft is clearly cool with that idea. But we're a long way off from thinking about that. Right now our only goal is to make Gears one of the "must have" titles for Xbox360 and judging by reaction to our relatively early showing at E3 we're well on our way toward achieving that."

Mass Effect was never denied on PC that i can remember. I thought PC gamer revealed it was coming to PC a whole year before it even was released on 360.

Rockstar also never denied a PC version of GTA4. They've always had one.

I don't remember MS ever saying halo/halo 2 would never come to PC either; it would seem counter-productive. Since MS owns the halo franchise. Like EPIC owns the Gears franchise.

Assassin's Creed I couldn't say I really didn't follow that game very closely.

That's all besides the point though, since they're all from different companies.

Point being, having no comment or saying it's not in the works (currently) is not the same thing as explicitly saying they've decided not to do a PC version in the future.

Now given that anything's possible it's not entirely out of the realm of such. But given his statement I would put it heavily leaning on the side of improbability.

Gears wasn't very good on the PC anywat. It really did benefit from the controller. The mouse controls felt loose and weird.

I would give anything for PC gaming to die just so I don't have to read a single comment from one of their gamers ever again. Why do they treat all other gamers with so much contempt?

In the intervieuw he speaks about that gamez on pc suffer because there bad qualitie the quality on pc is better than the tv i never saw such visual performance in gamez

Hey man,

It is cool to hear about Gears of War 2... lol

Thanks for sharing,

Cheers,

I will not loose any sleep over it . I liked gow 1 . But what i dont understand or maybe i do , all does game developers became big because of the pc gamers online .Years later there are xbox , playstation and game cubs and now they try the push the pc gamers to buy a gameconsole to get some more money . So i say dont forget your roots the pc gamers made you big dont ever forget that.But there will be other games to play .
