Fight Night producer to head up Gears of War? N4G
PC News from N4G | Gears of War
PC - Gears of War - Fight Night producer to head up Gears of War? Microsoft has snapped up Kudo Tsunoda from the ashes of EA Chicago, the studio responsible for Fight Night Round 3 and Def Jam Icon that EA shut down in November last year.

The colourful and charismatic Kudo Tsunoda was the lead producer on both of those games and was working on the sequel to Marvel: Rise Of The Imperfects when EA closed the studio down. Following the closure, which EA promised wasn't because Def Jam Icon brought Sean Paul to the 360, Tsunoda has now joined Microsoft's Xbox division as the title of General Manager.

The confusing part is Kudo Tsunoda is project lead on "an upcoming Gears Of War title", which throws itself open to all sorts of interpretations - where does this leave Cliffy B and Epic? Will Tsunoda just have an advisory role? Does this mean another Gears Of War title besides the expected sequel? Will Sean Paul be in it? So many questions, so few answers. Hopefully, the upcoming Games Developer Conference will give the answers...

PC - Gears of War - Gears of War turn to toys War is not a game, but apparently it makes for good playthings. NECA today announced that it is making a line of action figures based on Epic Games' Xbox 360 shooter Gears of War.

Set to debut in late spring, the first wave of the series will feature three figures: Marcus Fenix, Augustus Cole, and a Locust drone. NECA has not fully detailed future plans for the Gears of War line of figures, but did say this was only the first collection in an ongoing series.

Gears of War prequel announced
PC News | Gears of War
Jan 3, 2008 The first details have been spotted on the official Gears of War prequel, which is unfortunately (for Gears fans, who are surely not big readers) in book form. Gears of War: The Pendulum Wars - The Battle of Aspho Fields (we were hoping for a longer title) is being penned by former games journo Steven Kent of Next Generation and USA Today fame. According to the official blurb, The Battle Aspho Fields "builds upon the characters' backstories and gives eager fans their first ...

2007's worst kept gaming secrets
PC News | Gears of War
18th Dec, 2007 There are some things that developers and publishers just don't want you to know. And given the unnaturally high number of game announcements, hardware revelations, industry shake-ups, and all round cool things going on this year, they've wanted you to not know a lot during 2007. Thankfully though, the internet exists, and thus nothing is sacred. That's the eternal irony of the games industry. It's a business which tries to shroud itself in secrecy, but whose patrons congregate ...

360 still might see Gears PC bits N4G
PC News from N4G | Gears of War
PC - Gears of War - 360 still might see Gears PC bits With Gears of War launching on PC today , Eurogamer thought it would be a good idea to ask Mark Rein for the umpteenth time whether the five new chapters are ever going to come out on Xbox 360.

Asked if Epic is categorically never going to release them as downloads for Xbox 360 users, Rein said, "It looks that way."

Never? "Well, never say never, but I mean there's no plans to do it."

Gears of War PC's small bug and an easy fix N4G
PC News from N4G | Gears of War
PC - Gears of War - Gears of War PC's small bug and an easy fix You're probably anxious to play Gears of War PC, but Gamescore Blog wanted to let you know of a small problem (fortunately, with an easy fix). When you first play Gears of War for Windows, an automatic update to Games for Windows -- LIVE will be downloaded. But after the update is downloaded, you're put back to the main menu of the game. If you don't shut down the game, the update won't complete. There's two ways to get over this bump. The easiest is to simply shut down the game after the update is downloaded (you'll know it's safe because you'll be back at the main menu, and not on the "Don't shut down your PC while the update is being downloaded" screen). As soon as you close the game, the update will install automatically and you're good to go. The second option is to manually install the latest Games for Windows -- LIVE update.

Gears of War PC Performance and IQ N4G
PC News from N4G | Gears of War
PC - Gears of War - Gears of War PC Performance and IQ "We are not sure exactly what turning on DX10 does, but we do know it causes a large performance drop on every video card." "In our testing we found absolutely no image quality differences by turning this to "On."" The only benefit was being able to use "On/Antialiasing" for 4X AA, but you need a very fast video card to use that setting. If you have a GeForce 8800 GTX/Ultra level video card you can enjoy that setting. But on the GeForce 8800 GT/GTS and Radeon HD 2900 XT you will have to sacrifice other in-game options or resolutions in order to use 4X AA. It is rather a shame because we noticed that 4X AA does improve the visual quality of this game in a noticeable way."

Epic was ready to scrap Gears multiplayer N4G
PC News from N4G | Gears of War
PC - Gears of War - Epic was ready to scrap Gears multiplayer Speaking to XLeague.TV back at Games Convention 2007, Mike Capps revealed that he was so unhappy with the multiplayer element of Gears of War that it was very close to being pulled from the game.

"I was going to cut multiplayer from Gears because I thought it wasn't coming together fast enough, right," said Capps. "The day before E3 I'm like 'no guys, it's not pulling together'. And they made it, they pulled it together, and then we won every award."
