Surprise, Surprise: Gears of War coming to PC
In a move that doesn’t surprise me in the least Mark Rein, Epic’s VP, basically came out and said “Gears of War is coming to the PC”. This only continues the pattern that cause me not to buy the original Xbox, where the games worth playing are either going to come out on another console or on the PC. I didn’t buy an Xbox because there were no games, and it seems that I won’t buy a 360 because there are not going to be enough exclusive games to make me spend $400 on a console.
Speaking to Team Xbox, Epic’s VP and co-founder Mark Rein expanded on the possibility of a PC version of Xbox 360 mega hit, Gears of War. The short, nebulous answer: it’ll happen, but not yet.
“I don’t think that’s any great secret that we would like to do it on PC, but for now it’s a 360 game. Eventually we’ll get around to a PC version. I just don’t know when.”
Following Microsoft tradition, it wouldn’t be surprising to see make the jump; Halo: Combat Evolved made a similar transition, but it did take almost two years to make the platform shift.
It’s good news, even though Gears or War is an over glorified version of kill.switch it is still one of the best games on the 360…. but that isn’t saying much.
Oh well, looks like I’m going to save money by not buying a Microsoft product again this generation.
