Xbox 360 Will See Gears of War 3 in April 2011, says Report

Posted March 16, 2010 by David Radd

The Gears of War franchise is one of the Xbox 360's biggest exclusives, so despite the lack of any official announcement for a Gears of War 3, it was widely assumed to be in development. Sure enough, Edge is reporting that Gears of War 3 is well into development and will release April 2011.

Citing a “trusted U.S. publishing source,” the site says that a teaser trailer for Gears of War 3 will debut April 8, with the full reveal of the game coming in June at E3 2010. The reason why Gears of War 3 won't be releasing until next year has more to do with Microsoft’s other late 2010 releases than with Epic Games' own preparedness.

“Microsoft’s keen to avoid a clash with Halo: Reach and wants Natal to own Christmas,” said the Edge source. “That’s why we won’t be seeing Gears Of War 3 until next year, but expect a major marketing push ahead of its release.”

David Radd has worked as a gaming journalist since 2004 at sites such as GamerFeed, Gigex and GameDaily Biz.

The only real downside to not having blu-ray or hd-dvd is that some games will have to be on multiple disc. But I didn't complain about that during the PS1 days so I won't complain about it now. tiff fax

Amazing, but late. The big flood of third party Sony developers to the Xbox360 has already happened. Xbox360 users will love Rachet, and Clank. The developer will get more money and therefor more funds for other projects for both systems. It is a win-win situation (except for pushing PS3 console sales). online fax

Now “The Brothers Bloom” — starring Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo as brothers who target a drop-dead gorgeous heiress played by the drop-dead gorgeous Rachel Weisz — comes at us full steam ahead, full of “Belgians, Russians and Lamborghis”, as one critic put it, and what a blooming mess of a good time it is!HostICan Hosting Review

Maybe Natal will be fundamentally superior, but I think it's only a relatively minor improvement. id protection monitoring

If I were you guys I'd be more concerned with the nature of 3D gaming, the new costs associated with it and the potential financial impact on consumers who don't even want to opt into this new era just yet. My eyes! Trust me... it's just... trust me.online fax

This will give development studios looking to build motion games quickly and efficiently "the extended benefits of LightSpeed’s rapid prototyping and rapid iteration powers for development of motion controlled games that utilize the soon-to-be-released PlayStation Move, Nintendo's Wii Remote and the AiLive co-designed Wii MotionPlus attachment.
