Gears of War spin-off, Fenix picks up a golf club? |
Ó
Most of us know Microsoft's big bad title, Gears of War. While we're not getting a sequel yet, Epic Games revealed that they're working on a spin-off. Marcus Fenix ain't taking a gun this time, he'll be taking the mustached plumber's lead and have a golf game of his own. Yes, Epic boss Mark Rein confirmed that it's gonna be Gears of War Golf.Epic went through all the trouble to hear from a Korean publisher about making casual games using Unreal Engine 3, and the results sound good. Rein says "So we got an animator to make a golf swing for Marcus Fenix, and then a programmer took one of the Gears levels and added some mounds and stuff to make a course." GoW's grenade launching mechanic was used for the ball, so let's all hope it reaches the hole safely.
Unfortunately, the project is said to be internal for Epic Games so we won't be seeing the game's launch any time soon. Good things come to those who wait, and Gears of War Golf might be a promising title worth waiting for.

Will they be fully vested? Will the opponants be locust? This is hard to imagin. The first three words of the title sound promising "Gears of War Golf" the last one is a let down.
These guys are high I'm telling you.
This is very very very very stupid. Yeah... that sounds about right for what should be said about this idea. Retarded!
i'd pay 800ms points for it.
wtf are you talking about...
what the hell does what you posted HAVE TO DO WITH THE GODDAMNED TOPIC!?!?
idiot...
shut up, no one cares
Try commenting on the topic instead of preaching about winners and losers.
Both consoles are winners, and the only loser is you.
The 360's library needs quirky games like these and I don't see why other game characters can't be in games like these. Sold Snake from the Metal Gear Solid games for example is going to be in Nintendo's Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
It might be good if those type of game are released as an arcade game not a full retail release.
where did that coem from. are you and idiot. try posting somewhere where your wanted like on the bulletin board in your kitchen. because only your mother could love someone as stupid as you.
FOOTBALL!!! they should make it about football not damn golf
man such obvious flame bait.
Anyone remember the mutant league series for the sega? Gears of War in the Style of Mutant league football...
Yeah I agree. Football would be a better sport for GoW. Locusts vs Cog, and put it in the arcade!
Gears Golf? Whats next, Halo Hockey?
the 360 need more quirky games why not if we had a version of ssb that would be cool also
Dont say that they might get that idea!!halo hockey
GoWlf?
game is not gunna be fun ithink
ps if anyoone wanna play gears just ask
im pretty darn good at it
no really i am good
game is not gunna be fun ithink
ps if anyoone wanna play gears just ask
im pretty darn good at it
no really i am good
yea ill play sometime
this is my gamertag
isnt cole a professional thrashball player?
you made a certain crybaby link me this and cry worst then the time his gf broke up with him shame on you
I just remembered, My Katamari is coming to 360 and those types of games I'm talking about when I say quirky games. I think this would help Microsoft in the long run to bring in more people in Japan and to not just appear as just an FPS console. Games like these can bring different genras which is one of the reasons why PS2 was successful.
It doesn't have to be GOW Golf, just something new and crazy, but fun. If Microsoft makes sure they do that, I don't see why Xbox360 can't penetrate Japan. Viva Piniata, My beautiful Katamari, and Reyman: Raving rabidds are a start. Keep em coming Microsoft!
for those of you who needed proof that Micro cares more about the money then the consumer/quality of game, there you have it.. right there.... if they had said football MAYBE (HOLY ***** MAYBE) i would have been like ok, but with this, it is evident micro want your money not your respect.
lol
way to rewrite GamesRadar's article - is this the "new games journalism" i've been hearing about?
You do know that Epic is not in anyway owned or controlled by Microsoft right?
Really, this was an internal demo, a joke, not something that will be released. Way to twist the facts.
did you even read the article you stupid *****? it clearly says "
Unfortunately, the project is said to be internal for Epic Games so we won't be seeing the game's launch any time soon. Good things come to those who wait, and Gears of War Golf might be a promising title worth waiting for." no one is trying to pass this off as a real game. go kill yourself you stupid *****
wtf? is this a joke? gears of war golf. that is like the dumbest thing ever. that thrashball idea was good though.
I would never touch anything Halo ever again if they made a spin-off with a horrible sport like hockey
I'm getting this strange feeling like Epic doesn't give a damn. And neither do I. WTF was that useless bit of info about?
Well I would like to chainsaw my partner if he got a hole in one...
WTF am I kidding this game will SUCK!
if this is the so called GOW2...then i am gonna blow up my copy of GOW.
Morons. It's an internal game. They do whateva the hell they want with it. YOU will never play it. Never.
Its recycling physics and stuff to make golf. footbal or some other ***** game would take fresh code and waste more time.
Would be cool if they'd put it on live arcade, should be possible
this is the stupidest idea ever for Gears Of War...how about instead of a damn GOW: Golf, they being making a damn sequel...or fixing the glitches in the game...
