Some have assumed that a new Gears of War game won't be revealed until the next generation of consoles are on their way, but a fresh rumor reports that we could be seeing Gears 3 by Christmas 2010.
EGM is spreading the gossip, where it is also claimed that the title will have an all-new "five player co-op experience." The hint here is that five people can play through the campaign mode, which seems a little more like fan fantasy than anything else.
It may be true, it may not. As inevitable as Gears 3 is, talk of a follow up game wasn't expected for quite some time. Perhaps the success of the last title was just too tempting to merely sit on.

"CHRISTMAS 2010! GET YOUR FIX OF OVERBLOWN TESTOSTERONE & GRAY TEXTURES IN THE THRILLING CONCLUSION TO THE STUPID STORY THAT IS GEARS OF WAR 3... ONLY AT BEST BUY!"
A GIANT WORM!!!!!111
That is all.
Gears 3 will end up being a prequel about why marcus was in jail, and the start of the locust invasion.
The next gen consoles have only really started to take off in the last year or so, with the price drops and everything else. There will be a lot of consumer backlash if the perception is that Sony & MS are trying to take advantage of us yet again with a new console that does very little more than the ones we have now. Think of how the "average" person thinks of computers and how quickly they are useless.
So even if Gears had a three year dev cycle, we would be playing it on a 360. Hell, Bioware said before they released Mass Effect that they intended to release a trilogy entirely on the 360...wouldn't really be possible if a new console was out in a few years, right?
I remember getting my 360 when Gears 1 came out. I put in the game and thought wow cool next gen gfx. Maybe Within 30 mins I became bored with the game, I thought to myself whats with the character design in this game... they look stupid and the things they say sounded stupid too. I didn't like the gameplay and the multiplayer was "wtf this sucks"... fastforward >>> now there's talks of a 3rd installment... I officially hate this game now and wish this franchise dead.
Keep wishing! Plenty of people enjoy the Gears games and they aren't going anywhere. One day, your freaking kids will be playing a Gears title or spinoff. Sorry!
I officially wonder as to the sanity of people who spend time wishing a franchise dead. Is this a useful endeavor? If I don't like a franchise, I don't give a rat's ass if it survives or not...I just play other games that I like better. I guess I'm the crazy one.
It's perfectly normal to feel insulted by the existence of games (and people) that you don't like. And then eat a box of tissues. I do both of these things every morning when I get out of bed.
I would never be insulted by Gears, however, it is an awesome franchise. To people who hate it, all I can say is "AWWWWW, COME ON!"
I feel the same way...and I don't actually wish the gears franchise would disappear, but if it did I wouldn't miss it lol. I returned gears 1 and bought oblivion and that game lasted me a good while till games like Cod 4, bioshock, mass effect, dead space (got this one on the ps3 cuz I like the controller, similar to silent hill games of ps2)etc released.
But when games like gears 1+2 and halo 3 (I own and still play on live sometimes) which I personally find not that great but are hyped up so much, they rake in a ton of money..that I feel takes away from new original games or even good additions to a franchise... hey at least I withheld my hate for this franchise till this very moment am I right? lol
At least you're trying!
I'm predicting Gears 4-8 right now.
