Cliffy B talks Gears 3, obviously.

Maybe its just me, but why do I get the feeling that Cliffy B still believes Gears of War 3 will be a surprise? I saw posters online while using google to look up ANYTHING on Gears 3, and that said November (17th) 2010. Photo shopped? maybe since I can't find them again.

Honestly though.

Gears:2006
(+2 years of development)
Gears 2:2008
(+2 years of development)
Gears 3:2010

We've waited long enough, and the way he talks makes it seem that Gears of War 3 COULD be out this year. Sure there is concern of Gears 3 and Halo Reach "affecting" each other, but i'm getting both games for sure regardless of when they come out. All those games of 2009 were pushed back because of Modern Warfare 2, and that's been a stupid move so far.

I didn't know Epic's tech was used for Natal, but I do remember Cliff saying Gears wouldn't use Natal. The "hybrid game" description in regards to the uses of Natal makes me wonder if he changed his tune with using Natal for Gears 3.

I am happy that he browses forums to find feedback and realizes how redundant and repetitive Gears of War 2 matchmaking is, I hope Gears 3 improves on that.

Gears of War 2 seems forgotten nowadays, and that's a shame. Horde mode was much more fun than say, Firefight, and the Co-op of Gears campaign was WAY better done than Halo 3. Halo 3 had you all fighting the same number of aliens, Gears split up the players and made a much more satisfying Co-Op experience. Spec Ops on Modern Warfare 2 is about the same, but Gears encouraged you to defend your teammate.

Gears of War 2 was such a major improvement over the first one, I seriously can't wait till we see the third.

Gears of War Movie Dream-Casting

With the recent news that Dwayne Johnson is "wanted" for Marcus Fenix in the Gears of War movie adaption. Let me say I have no problem with Dwayne Johnson, but since most video game movies suck. Let’s avoid using him as Marcus Fenix, granted be he could do it but I obviously feel that he can't. So with that I actually got to asking myself who would be good for the roles and heeere are the Picks :)

Ron Perlman as Marcus Fenix

Ron Perlman proves he is a leader in Hellboy; he’s got the ability to carry a movie and make as many ridiculous monologues as the movie might want and avoid the cheeziness factor. Plus he’s a real veteran with voice acting so a video game character in real life shouldn't be an issue for him. 

Thomas Jane as Damon Baird

What is it about Baird that screams Thomas Jane, blond hair. Check. His body language when in a scene similar to Bairds grumbling attitude around Fenix. Check. Social Commentater (watches Deep Blue Sea). Check. Thomas Jane would provide an outlaw feel to the character like Baird should be when paired with Fenix. 

Bruce Willis as Dominic Santiago

Yes the ethnicities are a little off...i think. But here’s the thing, the moving scene from "The Sixth Sense" shows he can portray the emotional side exhibited in Gears of War 2 for his wife. And I hope they incorporate that. Otherwise, Bruce Willis has the energy to play Santiago and should be guns blazingly since he usually accompanies Fenix.

Tyrese Gibson as Augustus Cole

WTF you may be thinking. Look you have to balance the talent, plus who else is fun to watch instinctively and could have as much fun shredding Locusts? Gibson plays GOOD side characters anyway and probably like the others doesn't ask for too much money. Important since a movie with as much CGI as they promise is probably costly to make.
