OMG Ponies! Gears of War mod chips run the game on any console EVAR
by Niero on 02.13.2007 66 comments

We are gathered here today to set the record straight once and for all. You simply cannot run Gears of War on the PlayStation 3. Can't happen. No way. It would take the army of people at Epic (you know, that actually made the game) months and potentially millions of dollars to port it over to the PS3; as it's a completely different architecture. Some jerk at home with a camcorder is not going to beat Epic to a PS3 port and make Microsoft cry tears of non-exclusivity.
 
That said, Gears of War actually does run on every other console, though. You just need the right kind of mod. Please watch closely at the step-by-step instructions in this special report.

I'm still laughing! And how did you get Alvin to narrate?

But really, I think its funny how Sony has a notice that you need to put the disc in an Xbox 360 to play it. Is there a notice like that on the Xbox for PS3?

@ Poetic -- it's sped up on purpose, I speak way too slowly and bored myself. The song is "Samba de Janeiro" by Bellini, which was the flagship track on Samba De Amigo for the Dreamcast

I assume Gears of War on N64 looks like it has a case of vaseline smeared over the TV screen?

Bonus points for the thing at the end with Niero looking all cool and DMV just sort of smiling awkwardly.

And while "Samba de Janeiro" was playing I had to fight the urge to shake my arms to the beat. I played that game WAY too much.

Niero. I am slightly disappointed that you called it an Atari 2600. While technically the 2600 has the exact hardware inside of it, it has a slimmer prettier casing. What you have is the Video Computer System, or Atari VCS. But I am just getting technical, be proud of you hardcoreness of having the original Atarai.

You know I was gonna edit out but I didn't think anybody would catch it. Busted! I actually have both versions but my 2600 is teh broken and eating dust in my closet

There ain't no way that GoW can play on the Game Boy! Nor a bunch of those systems. I mean, Cliffy B. himself said that Unreal 3 and other games w/ the Unreal engine physically could not play on the Wii, so how could it play on anything else? But seriously, if D-Toid is really selling the Pony mod chips, I would definitely buy them for all my systems!
