The lights are on
UPDATE: Vice president of Epic Games, Mark Rein, responded to the Gears of War 3 coming in April 2011 rumor with, "You're kidding, right?" This is rather damning to the original loose talk, but it's also not a concrete "no." More on this as it develops.ORIGINAL STORY: How does a new Gears of War about a year from now sound to you? A report recently surfaced pointing to an April 2011 release date for Epic Games’ next over-the-shoulder shoot-a-thon. The game could allegedly hit shelves much sooner, if it weren’t for Microsoft’s other huge releases hitting this year.A “trusted US publishing source” told Edge that Gears of War 3 is already in development and set to debut April, 2010. After the upcoming teaser trailer has blood-thirsty gamers smelling chainsaw fuel in the air, a full reveal is said to be coming at E3 this year.Microsoft is being very cautious about the release window of Gears of War 3. They’re attempting to reduce cannibalizing on the releases of Project Natal and Halo: Reach later this year by pushing Gears to 2011.“Microsoft’s keen to avoid a clash with Halo: Reach and wants Natal to own Christmas. 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,” the source told Edge.Microsoft isn’t currently commenting on this bit of hearsay.What do you think? Is the world ready for another Gears of War? Is the series still interesting to you?

Gears of War was the best XBL experience of my life and Gears 2 was one of the most disappointing i have incredibly high hopes for this one, and i cant wait.
hell yeah cant wait for it
If the series goes all Jungle Commando like in the tech demo I will so be buying Gears 3.
yes gears of war is still interesting to me. despite problems wit gears 2, i still loved it, and cant wait for 3. there is def some stuff they can do to really make it great and i hope they do
both gears are still two of my favorite games so totally
I still can't get the pc version of the first gears to work lol... But from what I heard, it's known to have some issues with some computers. And don't say it's just because my computer is weak...my computer is a freakin Transformer. It eats lil Ailenware computers for breakfast xP
Either way though, I've played bits of the other games on my cousin's xbox. *** good fun.
GoW3?AWESOME!CANT WAIT 2 SEE IT AT E3
Gears Campaign was okay, lame story but okay. Gears MP was a lag-filled $H!T storm and the reason i didnt buy 2 and wont be buying 3. Heard that the story for 2 was a total rip of Halo.
Been waiting for this since the end of GOW2. But there has been a lot of games to keep me busy in between so the wait has not been hard at all. However, we may need to start writing out the whole title to distinguish between Gears of War and God of War.
"Lock and load"!!!
Hm...Can't wait, hope they polish up the online or else it's going to have the same problems as GoW2...
it's about time... I've been waiting for a new gears game since the cliffhanger ending of the second one.
I'm looking to conclude the story. It's fun with a friend. April sounds acceptable. Although, I don't think it's smart of them to push it back just for Natal. Then again, I'm not exactly an expert on marketing.
the last one, while not a disaster, was derivative and instantly forgettable. im hoping this next one can redeem the franchise but it's no longer a day-1 purchase for me.
i'll wait for the reviews.
No games this year kiddies you all have to go out and buy PROJECT NATAL
Sweet. GOW1 was great. I really like the co-op/ singleplayer. The multiplayer never clicked with me but whatever. Now I have to get GOW2.
Hell yeah my son and I beat both of them on insane.
good time,good times
I think it's time for Gears of War 3.
Yes!
I can't wait.
Hopefully Cliffy doesn't run his arrogant mouth this marketing campaign however, like he did for GoW2.
