"There is no plan to provide the PC exclusive content to Xbox 360 gamers for a number of technical reasons," Fergusson told IGN. "One is simply the size and scope of the new content which would be difficult to deliver as an update. But more importantly, Gears of War for Windows was not created with the same version of Unreal Engine 3 as Gears of War for 360. We wanted to take advantage of all the latest and greatest optimizations and features that are constantly being added to UE3 and as such, this new content is not easily compatible with the Xbox 360 version."

I understand the reasoning, but it doesn't make me any happier.
 
Screw the reasoning. We (360 gamers who bought it) made the game the massive hit that it is, and we get the shaft now. Don't even start me on Unreal Tournament 3.

I'm not liking Epic much lately.
 
I think they will be disappointed by the PC sales of the game. The PC has a lot more competition for AAA shooters than the 360 had at the time Gears came out.

But on the optimistic side, he said it wouldn't be easily compatible with the 360, but didn't say anything about it being impossible. So we may see it yet, although it would probably take a long time.
 
i think their reasoning is garbage

it could be easily put on a disc, as a stand alone expansion for $20, much like the halflife 2 episodes, not requiring the original game to play


garbage!
 
Probably. But I doubt it. The punks want to make their fans angry!!! IF THEY WANT A FIGHT!! THAEY FOUND ONE!!!

Maybe there's some sort of trick behind it. Such has been done before (relevant data on that missing from my database!!! Danr dad doing messing with my COMP!!!). I know that it's very unlikely to happen, but who knows what goes through their minds when they do this stuff.

[What???? I don't recall swearin? :? ]
 
Yeah, Bungie got DLC disks made for Halo 2. Epic could easily do the same (like Hines said). $20 a pop, they could make a small fortune.

yeah, they would have a whole disc worth's room for unreal updates until their hearts content. so there is really no excuse
 
That, and the fact the content is already made. All they have to do is get it working on the 360 and make the discs. Hopefully the new stuff sucks...
 
Wtf!!!! your kidding me right first the PC version gets like 3 extra campaigns than the 360 version and a really cool boss and now 360 misses out on a expansion as well that just ain't right ARGH.
 
That makes me mad, that 360 users made it the best selling game for the 360 and then they pull a move like this, after i bought the game and maps from them.

Yeah, that's what I think is outrageous.
 
This game was one of the Best I have played in years, controls were perfect (for me), and the graphics worked well, but this was probably the shortest game I have ever played, yes I know online is a big part of games now but what about the people (like me) arent online. This expansion would have made this game jump in sales again, too bad, all I can hope for is a longer story in Gears II, by the way any news on a GOW II
