In an IGN interview with Cliff Bleszinski, it was revealed by Cliff that Gears of War 2 would not be coming to the PC. The point of interest came up in a question about Gears 2’s “Linked Achievements” and the Achievement portability with an account from Games for Windows Live. Cliff said that if you use the same gamertag as you had with the original Windows version on your 360, you would get the retroactive content. When prompted about a PC version of Gears 2, Cliff spilled the beans: Gears of War is a great franchise first and foremost for Xbox 360, and therefore we're focusing on that platform for Gears of War 2. We've decided we're not going to do a PC version this time around.
Community member Too Much Coffee Man and I echo the same sentiment in this matter. It’s really unfortunate that the series will not be hitting the PC because of its visual quality and originality. 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. Since my Macintosh can’t run anything past Tetris clones and World of Warcraft, I’m not too injured by this statement and therefore will eagerly consume all of the exclusive Xbox 360 content greedily. |

Meh, I'll live.
BAD LUCK FOR PC LOL!
"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.
HAHA and you believe him....
Remember when there was no to be a PC version of Assassin's Creed? Gears of War? Mass Effect? GTA4?
I'm surprised people still believe such crap.
Epic has been dead to me since somewhere around UT3's launch anyway, so
It will eventually come.
so this time they are gioing to release the crappy version only and not the one that was passable....ok
100% bullshit. Everyone says this, Halo, GoW, GTA, Mass Effect. It's just a way to ensure people don't decide to wait until the PC version comes around, in which time they become bored of the idea of buying the game and never pick it up. By saying it's only on the 360, people get the game now. It's just a way of improving sales.
Whether it comes to PC or not... it hardly effects 360 owners who were gonna pick up the game anyway.
@Turbo Spaz, et al
Completely agree. Considering I've passed over Gears, ME & Bioshock since I'd lost interest by the time they came out on PC, I'd have to say you hit the nail right on the head. I don't believe anything they have to say anymore.
I'll get it when it comes to PC.
lol they said this about gears of war before it released, I will not be surprised if it does or not..either way epic can keep its generic shit, go back to your old roots epic, if your going to make a game for the pc dont make it a fucking port.
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.
OH NO. HOW WILL WE SURVIVE.
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.
That game is only good on soncole anyway where a game so uttrly average dull and simple could exist and people would be happy with it.
the multiplayer is a lame ass death match the weapons are boring as helll
and now gears of war 2 is ripping of the basic invasion mode Pc games have had for years.
who cares?
console junk like this and halo don't cut it on PC hell after i got it on xbox at laucnh i passed on the PC version because it sucked.
don't want.
So nobody who has a PC would buy this game anyway since you can get anything else on PC and it would be better.
Gears is fun on the pc but it's difficult to take it seriously. The story and its characters are simply hilarious.
It is probably better suited for the xbox crowd anyway.
What assholes.
Whats with all the hating, Gears was loads of fun in coop, one of the best coop games I've played in years :S
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.
Does anybody who owns a PC really give a shit about Gears of War? No offense, but it's not exactly a stellar game. Maybe on the 360 where the typical owner's tastes are a little different but PC gamers are somewhat more...discerning. And given the shit sales of the original Gears when released on PC, I'm not surprised they wouldn't make the PC version a priority. PC gamers simply have better games to play, and if UT3 is anything to go by, Epic has completely lost touch with the PC user base.
@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.
"PC gamers are somewhat more...discerning"
lolwut?!
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. ;)
Bioshock is a PC game.
It never was exclusive to anything.
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.
Case-in-point.
@Narishma @TurboSpaz
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.
@Cube:
Did console gaming kill your family or something?
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?
MAn pc gaming is the best if you have a good pc!!WHat is this for excuse ' the mouse and keyboard feel weerd we cant make it on pc' who are you triing to fake .Probably it wil come out about 4 months orsomting. Man i played GEars 1 nice but what would you think of you look a movie on the vcr and the other halft you cant because it only for the DVD what tf is that !??Pc gaming is the best for all genres only sport suck .IF CB is so consurned about piracy just reinforce the game and voila!!!! HAppy new year for everybody
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
THe grafics on the pc are much more better smoother and exacter on the xbox it is vaage the details are kubieke little black place very bad ! The pc is much better in grafic gameplay with keyboard and mouse and the rest ho says that pc gamerz ere fucked the just cant pay for them a grafic card cost 250 but xbox costs 130 so xbox sucks with there stupid no quality gamez
