Gears of War 3 Unlocks Explained

If you thought that playing Bulletstorm and unlocking achievements in that game might yield rewards for Gears of War 3, think again. It won't apparently, and neither will save games and achievements earned in other Epic titles like Unreal Tournament 3 and Shadow Complex, despite what Cliff Bleszsinki said back in December: "Look for special unlocks in Gears 3 for those of you who have played other Epic games such as Shadow Complex, UT3, Gears, and Bulletstorm," he originally tweeted. That will no longer be the case.

 

"Turns out that we can't read the Bulletstorm, Shadow Complex, and UT3 achievements for unlocks in Gears 3 after all. Sorry about that all," reads a tweet from Gears of War 3's Lead Programmer, Joe Graf. "For those of you that are sad about the unlocks, it turns out that you can't read the data outside of your publisher/dev family," he explained.

 

 

 

However, every cloud has a silver lining, as Gears of War 1&2 saves and achievements can still be detected as they're in the same publisher and developer family, as Epic develops and Microsoft publishes all three titles. "All of the Gears games are in our publisher/dev family, so those we will reward with unlocks," Graf continues in further tweets.

 

 

 

But what of the Gears of War 3 beta? Will participants get any unlocks for taking part? Apparently so. "“@darkru1er: @EpicCog What about unlocks for taking part in the beta?” we will still reward that", Graf confirms.

 

 

 

So, there you go. Keep hold of your Gears 1&2 data for Gears 3 (although the game might still be able to read your achievements), and pick up the Bulletstorm Epic Edition if you want to take part in the Gears 3 beta. Gears of War 3 is set to release in autumn 2011.
