Hardly surprised, the ending of GoW means it would have to have a sequel, or there would be some very unhappy people

Gears is actually going to be a trilogy.

Quote:

According to Microsoft VP of lots of words Jeff Bell, Gears of War is the first title in a planned Gears trilogy. In a recent interview he accidentally slipped up on his wording and let the trilogy out of the bag.

Quote:

Gamers today demand an excellent story in their games; they need to know what’s at stake, and why they should care. Excitement tops the list of desired emotions, but they want to be scared, too. They want the rush that comes from being scared by an enemy or trapped in a dark room and escaping with their lives. The goal of this ad is to establish Marcus Fenix as the hero of the Gears of War trilogy. The intention is to create emotional connection with him that is lacking in typical third-person action title marketing, by communicating a sense of desperation, loneliness, overwhelming odds, and the ultimate futility of the situation he faces.”

Me very happy.

Gears i just cant get enough of. Its the main reason of the purchase of my 360 at christams as I was not going to get one sometime soon. Now I have 10 games and cant stop getting more. Great console and great game.

Love it

I just started playing GoW today. Awesome game, even though I'm only nearing the end of Act 2, I can't wait to see what the rest of the trilogy will bring.

cause I don't have 360 but I look forward to a PC version of the game ...

You could be waiting some time, there are things done on the 360 version that most PC's could not even get close to doing at the moment!

I think that this is welcome if not unsurprising news, definitely a title that has the ability to become a long standing hit if the original quality is kept to.
