Epic Games’ latest macho-infused shooter is now gold.
CliffyB announces in a Q&A session that Gears of War 2 has gone gold. We reported to you late last month that the title was almost done which was also announced by Bleszinski during an anti-PC piracy rant.
“Now that Gears of War [2] is done, the internal vibe from Epic is cautiously optimistic,” the game’s design director told GameSpot. “There’s a lot of expectations to match up to from the first game, as it had a 94 percent average review score and over 5 million copies sold.”
Gears of War 2 is not coming to the PC. Ever,” he said, flatly. “Honestly at this point, from our business standpoint, it doesn’t make a lot of sense right now to put in the amount of effort into doing a PC version.”
Bleszinski continued that not only is GoW2 not heading to PC, but Epic Games as a company is fully console-focused now. “It’s pretty safe to say that Epic is a console-focused company that does still support the PC in other ways, such as Unreal Tournament III coming out on the PC and whatnot,” he said. “But Gears of War will remain a console franchise. … It’s one of those situations where the PC market is so scattered between the different hardware configurations and things like that we’d rather continue to have a console focus as a company.”
Gears of Wars 2 will be hitting the 360 exclusively on November 7th.
