Rumor: Gears of War 2 coming to PC after all?
Their evidence? A consumer web site that we have never heard of before is taking pre-orders on a PC version of Gears of War 2, complete with box art for the game and a release date of December 4, 2009. Naturally, the game publisher Microsoft still says that there is that there is no such PC version of the game planned but we will of course post up word if that position changes.

I would take this with open arms even if it was nothing more than a port by People Can Fly.
As someone who has played the PC version of the first game 4 times (one for each difficulty solo and co-op for DOM), I have been very lucky as I have had no stuttering, no artifacting, no problems at all. Runs like a champ on my PC.
I can not wait and I hope this is legit.Posted at 11:12AM on Jun 12th 2009 by SidearmS
I'd love Epic forever if they'd release Gears 2 (and 3) for PC.
Gears 1 PC ran great for me, and I loved every bit of it.Posted at 3:43PM on Jun 12th 2009 by TopSecretOfficial
I would love to wait for this fun ~~
But sometimes rumors are just rumors..
Most of them never come true....just like Fable 2 ~~ there're no clear news about this kind of shit Posted at 12:24PM on Jun 12th 2009 by Bydyn
From Kotaku:
Update: Microsoft got back to us with the expected response. "Gears of War" is a great franchise first and foremost for Xbox 360, and therefore we're focusing on that platform for "Gears of War 2." We have decided to not create a PC version of "Gears of War 2."
I have released the doves, and they allow this dream to fly, fly, fly away.
XBox 360 - It would have been nice to have more single player experiences, but I guess "Dark Corners" will have to do.

Ehh I don't think this is legit. Even though this post has been recent still no evidence that it even is coming out. As of the "consumer website" is taking preorders I clicked on the site and I do not see where I can preorder the game and the site looks very fake to me. Was never a big fan of GoW2 didn't like the mechanics that much. But if this does come out for PC fantastic. I might be able to get used to it on PC since I play the first GoW on PC all the time and am really good at it.Posted at 9:06PM on Jul 7th 2009 by Jai Ho
Cliffy B said again as late as 2009 E3 HE is NOT working on a PC version of Gears 2 but working on DLC for 360 version. So if there is any truth to a PC version, Bleszinski will not be part of such PC version. Thus it seems unlikely that there is a PC version WITHOUT their head developer. And if they went ahead with a PC version without Bleszinski, would it be good without Bleszinski's input?Posted at 3:54AM on Jul 22nd 2009 by Pete W



I sincerely hope this is true, even if the game is just ported by People Can Fly again, I would take that in a heartbeat.
As for the "issues" with the first GoW on PC, I must be lucky because I have played through the PC version 4 times (each difficulty solo and co-op for DOM) and the game was solid as a rock for me. No stuttering, no artifacting, just pure fun gaming.
As someone who is currently working his way through GoW2 on the 360 (with my co-op bud on insane), this would be welcome news indeed.
As for the "release date", that is later in the holiday window, and it would not be the first time Epic put a new game out in that timeframe (UT3 on the PS3 was also a December launch).
XBox 360 - Because anything the 360 can do, the PC should be able to do better...
