XBOX Gears of War vs Halo 3

[USUF]

i think some news spread out a few weeks ago that Gears of War 2 might be on the way...unlikely????

 

[Chandoo]

not unlikely, but not happening so soon either. Expect 2009 earliest.

 

[radd]

2008 ! arent halo and gears supposed to be a tag team now ?

 

[Chandoo]

i dont think MS would want to jeapordy their sales by releasing their two primary franchises at this time in the same time frame.

jeapordy???...gears of war 2 + Halo 3....iz that gonna be the best year of the sales for microsoft???

chandoo my dear , this is 2007.

halo this november , gears2 next november ( and gears pc) , bungie`s new project the november after that.

i was saying MS wouldnt want to release their two primary games in the same time frame, gears sequelwould probably end up in 2009 by my estimates because they havent even begun work on it and the first gears took them a bunch of years

 

[radd]

i dont understand what you mean by "time frame" , the first gears didnt take years - unreal 3 did.

Gears of war rocks. My reason for buying a 360. Am really looking foward to it.check out these screen shots

 

[Chandoo]

the first gears didnt take years

supposedly epic showed gears running on 256 mb vram to MS in 2004, so thats atleast 2 years in the making.

this is a halo screenshot but as the game is only in the developing stage so it doesnt look so good as compared to the gears of war screenshots

[Chandoo]

those are really old images

 

[radd]

but really really awesome

gears the 3rd person action shooter is pretty new , it was called gears of war then but it was a multiplayer game similar to enemy territory stuff.

besides , i`m sure they can make a SEQUEL in 2 years , november 2008 is far far away.

 

[Chandoo]

but then it'd be like GRAW 2 , mostly reusing assets from the first game. That'll be no good

 

[radd]

errr.... graw2 is coming a year after graw and on all platforms known to mankind. gears is exclusive and has 2 years to go.

whats wrong with you dude ? its like you dont want to believe there will be halo and gears coming out in alternative years.

 

[Chandoo]

im not saying that im just saying i dont think gears 2 will happen before 2009

 

[USUF]

Gears of war 2, 2009 i think so too...even if they start working on it now they'll finish it up in about end of 2009...even Halo 2 took 2 years to develop after its announcement...and so iz halo 3...halo 3 was announced in E3 2005..
