Mark Rein Gears of War intervju

[UrgeLoL]

The next update for Epic's hugely successful Xbox 360 shooter Gears of War fans will be out "Definitely within a couple of months", Mark Rein has revealed.

 

Speaking to Team Xbox, he added the developer wants "to have as regular a stream of new stuff coming for the title" as possible.

 

Rein reaffirmed that "there'll be a fun little surprise in the next update", although wouldn't spill further beans. "I don't want to say specifically what we're going to have," he said.

 

And will the next Gears update be a free download? Epic would "love to have everything be free", Rein explained, although "There's a lot of pressure on us, having the leading game on the platform, to be part of the downloadable economy... there's external pressure on us to participate in that."

 

During the interview, the Epic boss also described a PC version of GoW as being "inevitable", but said technology is key hurdle to overcome.

 

"The big challenge is to make a game that was designed solely for the console... to take advantage of every last little corner of that console, to fill every little crack and run as many threads as we could and do as much to exploit the power of that machine, and make it run well on enough PCs to be worth releasing. That's a challenge.

 

"UT will help us there, because Unreal Tournament 3 will be kind of our vanguard PC product, and it's helping us get optimisation on the PC. So it's just a matter of, now, can we make Gears run on enough PCs that it's worth selling...or do we have to wait in five years until everyone has a PC that can run it?

 

"It's inevitable, but it's just not there today."

 

Nytt nedlastbart innhold til Gears of War, og han sier at PC versjonen kommer.

Men han seier og at det blir lenge til.

Ikkje hold pusten.

 

Med tanke på at det er Microsoft som er utgivar til Gears tvilar eg på at det vil komme på PC så snart. Dei vil nok at GoW skal pushe nokre fleire 360'ar først.

Hjelper ikke om Rein sier det hvis MS ikke vil. Kommer nok ikke før Gears of War 2 har kommet til 360.

Da må jeg jammen meg kjøpe en PC!

Det der likte jeg dårlig. Hvis det er snakk om noen som har med Live å gjøre i updaten i hvert fall.

 

Betaling for Live-relaterte downloads frykter jeg kan skade GeoW som Live-spill da ikke alle kommer til å være villige til å betale og derfor ikke kan joine games som bruker dette.

Det hadde vært ræva, forbanna corporations! De sa i begynnelsen at alt skulle være gratis, pressure my ass!

Rolig...

 

Det er då heilt naturleg at dei i framtida vil ta nokre kroner for ekstra modes, maps og våpen

 

Folk som trur noko anna er jaggu optimistiske. Uansett kva EPIC har uttalt før.

Sant det du sier der... Optimistisk er det så absolutt, men gjør det ikke mindre "trist" for det
