Keyofx Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Xbox 360 nearing limits of capability - Epic Rod Fergusson, manager of the Gears of War franchise at Epic Games, believes developers will soon be at the upper end of what the Xbox 360 can technically achieve. He said Gears of War 2 had come surprisingly far during the two to three years since development wound down on the original. "We're certainly approaching the upper end of what developers are able to do with it, but just looking at all the demos we saw today - ours and others - it's clear that all the games just keep improving, and keep pushing that bar," Fergusson told Gamasutra. "It's a slow cycle; you only get a kick at it every couple years, and so it takes a while for people to see that progress. There will be games in development that won't ship until 2010, and I'm sure they'll look killer, just because, again, they'll have more time with [the console] and learn from mistakes and optimisations of others. "So, I don't know; I think we're getting up there, but I still think there's room to grow," said Fergusson. Gears of War 2 will be released exclusively for Xbox 360 on 7th November. Among the many improvements will be expanded online pursuits for two teams of five, plus loads more weapons, characters, abilities and even a more in-depth storyline.

Aman27deep Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 so this will mean that GeoW III comes on the Xbox 720? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMNTR Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 so this will mean that GeoW III comes on the Xbox 720? Not necessarily. Rod Fergusson, manager of the Gears of War franchise at Epic Games, believes developers will soon be at the upper end of what the Xbox 360 can technically achieve. You never know what's gonna happen next. For eg. PS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchizoidFreud Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 so this will mean that GeoW III comes on the Xbox 720? Halo 1 was released as a Launch Title. The case is almost the same with Gears of War although it was released after a year of the 360's launch. Halo 2 was made available for the Xbox 1 itself rather than having it as a launch title for the 360. Gears of War 2 is launching very soon too. So I guess that Gears of War 3 is going to be on the next xbox and will run on UE4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 For eg. PS2 Wrong example, PS2 was a difficult system to develop for, and a perfect example of what happens in the long run if a system is harder to develop for as oppose to the one thats easy from the start.

lastAvenger Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 The only reason i feel why it was easier to develop on Xbox360 was due to Microsoft's continuous effort in improving the SDK and game development kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anmolsc Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 plus it was out earlier so they got more time and started to work on it before the ps3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaztin Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yea, One should welcome the next gen xbox when it comes, plus originals never get absolutely obsolete so quickly, like ps2 and xbox didnt...and I dont think its gonna happen till 2010.

Aman27deep Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 So I guess that Gears of War 3 is going to be on the next xbox and will run on UE4 If im not wrong, in an interview it was revealed the UE IV won't come out before 2010, so we cant think of GeoW III before 2010 iBelieve. One should welcome the next gen xbox when it comes, plus originals never get absolutely obsolete so quickly, like ps2 and xbox didnt...and I dont think its gonna happen till 2010. One can more surely think about the PS2 with that, but not the XboX1, it was abandoned like a street stray dog within 6 months and the only games that came on it were EA games. thats not been the case with the ps2, Mercs 2, TNA iMPACT, SvR 09 and many EA games along with exclusives like Persona are still left to be out (in india) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. I didn't mean that. What I was saying is that even after 4 yrs, we saw some amazing looking games come out for the PS2 when infact a lot of developers had said that PS2 had reached its (graphical) limit. For eg. Shadow of Colossus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaztin Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 no way thats happening Hmm..we all know Gears 3 isnt Xbox exclusive. And Gears 3 would be big enough to either fit into 2 dvds or a Blu ray Disc. They need to make one change in PS3 that is Trigger buttons of PS3 remote and feel of the DS3.
