Does this mean you are planning a Windows version of "Gears of War 2"?

Cliff: Gears of War is a great franchise first and foremost for Xbox 360, and therefore we're focusing on that platform for Gears of War 2. We've decided we're not going to do a PC version this time around.

Post by: Smooth Groove on August 29, 2008, 06:14:26 PM: :( but it makes sense considering how poorly UT3 sold on the PC.

Oh well, at least I don't have to hear Sfags lie about playing Gears 2 on their PCs.

Post by: Smooth Groove on August 29, 2008, 06:21:50 PM: It'd have been awesome to see Gears 2 run on a high-end PC.

Gears 1's engine actually dynamically adjusts to the hardware specs. The more the PC, the more effects are generated.

That's why some people with low-end GPUS experience smooth gameplay while some pretty powerful systems experience lots of hitching and stuttering.

I had the stuttering problem with my 8800GTXes but now they're gone with the 280GTX. I guess the stuttering was due to the engine trying to make the 8800s do more than they could really do.

Post by: cool breeze on August 29, 2008, 07:29:22 PM: I still don't buy that Gears 2, Halo Wars, or even Fable 2 won't be on PC. I am still expecting Halo 3 on PC around when Halo 4 is announced.

Sure. But it won't matter anymore like it did for Halo 2 PC.

Post by: Mrbob on August 29, 2008, 08:22:44 PM: Its a console game anyway. Best way to play Gears 1 on PC is to use a 360 pad.

I was initially pissed at all my favorite PC developers jumping to consoles, but i have given in. If this is what it takes for them to keep on making games, so be it.

Post by: duckman2000 on August 29, 2008, 09:47:52 PM: That's a shame. I tried playing Gears for the 360 again, and it feels so clunky and smudgy compared to the PC version.
