It’s now a known fact that Gears of War for PC will include exclusive content. Owners of the console version of the game hoping to enjoy the content are in for nothing but disappointment: in an interview with AMN, both CliffyB and Mark Rein stated that exclusive content for the PC will remain exclusive to the platform.
While Mark Rein dodged the issue more or less, we found Cliffy B to be a bit more cooperative. “If we didn’t have any exclusives on the PC, why would anybody have the PC version?” When asked if the extra content was a timed exclusive, Cliffy replied with “to-be-determined.”
Being the persistant folks were are here at AMN, we pressed a bit further. According to Mark Rein the chances of the PC content arriving on 360s is “unlikely. I don’t want fans hopes up…”
Tough luck, guys.

1If this is true then Epic is making a big mistake and I have to say I do think they are screwing over 360 owners big time … I mean are they forgetting who it is that made Gears so popular … who did they sell 3.5 million copies to? Last time I checked the answer to both those questions was 360 owners/gamers. First we don’t get UT3 until months after the PS3 owners have it and now this?!
This is a real slap in the face to those of us that dropped $60 on this game. PC users (yes I am one but I am speaking from the POV a 360 owner) pay less and yet get an extra episode? And it is a major one at that … where you fight a huge BEAST … MAN THAT IS JUST NOT RIGHT! If it weren’t for 360 owners making this game so popular it would not have won all those awards and there definitely would not be a PC version out so soon …
So let me get this straight … we stuff tens of millions of dollars down Epic’s pocket’s and even pay for DLC and what they are saying now is that we were basically beta testers for the full version of the game … the one with the more robust campaign and far less bugs and that actually looks better as well. Well Epic thanks alot … go screw yourselves! For a while anyway you have lost a fan.

4to the fellow above me … why are you such an idiot? Or rather why are you behaving like such an immature childish pip? Did I say screw PC users? Nope. I directed my anger at Epic … so why do you feel the need to act like such an ass and tell 360 owners to go screw themselves? You need to grow up and watch how you reply to others in the future. That was just unnecessary and uncalled for.
Did you even read what I said? I am also a hardcore PC gamer (I also mod UT2K4) but I still find what Epic has done appalling … It’s my opinion and I gave it without insulting any fellow gamers. You need to learn to do the same or just stfu and keep your insulting remarks to yourself.

6Anuban, you obviously missed the long wait period us PC gamers had to endure. SO its only befetting that we get a prize for our patience. But this prize turned out to be doubly rewarding, like is said before. Not only do we get xclusive content, we get pissed of xbox gamers :D.

7And yes, I have no, repeat no, respect whatsover towards console games. So, they can fuck themselves and let the REAL gamers do the gaming.

9Nothing wrong with console gamers. I have a bad back, so after awhile my back hurts. If games like splinter cell,madden,3rd person shooters. I would rather play them on the 360/xbox/etc. Now, first person shooters and RTS is completely different. I dont see myself playing
battlfield 2 or 3(coming),2142,counter-strike(all),crysis,call of duty 4,CNC3,World in conflict,Starcraft 1 and 2.
Consoles are actuall go for somethings

10This is quite hilarious if you ask me. All X360 owners are quite pissed about being beta testers, whom I don’t really care for. This is exactly what happened to all those GameCube owners who bought Resident Evil 4, thinking it was an exclusive title, waving it around like “Haha! We stole your franchise Sony!” and later finding RE4 on PS2, Wii and PC. It really quite pathetic, be happy that you were the few first who got to experience GoW, because I was when my buddy brought his X360 over let me play.
No one seems to realize how much PC misses out on a lot of great title which console gamers hold dearly to their hearts. I will forever be a PC gamers, with a slight interest in PlayStation and Nintendo . . . but MicroSoft and Xbox (money hungry giants) can eat a big one. Their Vista only games will fall just as hard as their WinFS nonsense. Makes me glad it’s coming to Macs, lol.

11One little piece of information for those of you high on the PC game playing. If it wasn’t for the consule’s popularity saving gaming completely, you folks would have never experienced the great games you get to now. So, have a little respect after all playing video games is something we all have in common, and it is a bonus that there are multiple platforms for different tastes. Stop putting each other down and start respecting the fact that we are all video game lovers.
