| http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2010/10/gears-of-war-3-delayed-until-fall-2011/1Microsoft and studio Epic Games have pushed back the release of shooter Gear of War 3 until the 2011 holiday season.
"Gears of War 3 promises to be the biggest entertainment launch of 2011. The teams at Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games have done great work thus far readying the title for release in the spring of 2011. However, we've elected to move the launch of Gears of War 3 until fall 2011 to make it the marquee title for the holiday season," reads a statement from both companies on the Gears of War website.
The game, which was revealed last April, was orginally slated to hit stores in April 5, 2011.
Among the fresh additions anticipated for Gears of War 3 is a four-player cooperative campaign, confirmed through Epic Games design director Cliff Bleszinski via Twitter.
The game will also feature a Beast mode, a cooperative option where players can work together as the enemy Locusts. | |

| Fair enough. It's not as if we've been waiting 5 years. *nudge nudge*
But yeah, tbh I had no plans on getting it soon anyway. I've not got plans to get any games soon, I'm planning on buying guitar stuff. like pedals or whatever. So no Reach, no battlefield bad company 2 and no Gears 3. | |

Here's the thing: I'm willing to bet money that The Elder Scrolls V will be out by the end of 2011. THEREFORE, any and all games will be rendered horrible in comparison. | |

I doubt it will be released this gen.It would be foolish too.this gen is almost over so why release it on consoles that are soon going to "die".and looking at the TES history, they usually have one for every generation.Morrowind for 6th gen, oblivion for 7th gen and TES V for 8th gen | |

This gen is far from over. Plenty of games left for the 360/ps3 | |

Yeah, but each gen is longer than the last. BethSoft has stated that they are almost done with their next game, and that it will release shortly after they announce it. All hints point to a new TES game. We're getting off-topic. I'm sure Gears of War 3 will be a great game, and I was only joking when I said that it was hysterical that he thought it was going to be the best game of 2011. - ghost23 wrote:

It wasn't half-bad. They just need to improve the servers and they're good to go. | |

I love it how it annoys certain people when I show my love toward a game. It's as if it threatens other people's opinions. Then again, I guess it's my fault that I didn't put "IMO". Because everytime I state an opinion and leave out IMO, people go apeshit over it. | |

Plenty of games left for the 360/ps3 Not from whats happening.Analyists are saying the new console will probally be release in 2 or 3 years.Plus there has been rumors of a new xbox in the making.And for nintendo too I think. Plus the devs have said that the power of all 3 consoles have been reached. | |

Developers say that all the time. Remember when Hideo Kojima said that Metal Gear Solid 4 maxed out the PS3? A year or so later, the PS3 had games that made MGS4 look last-gen. Hell, even Alan Wake surprised me. I didn't think the 360 was capable of making such a fantastic-looking game, and that only came out a few months ago. | |
