Gears of War 3 was launched at midnight last night (September 20, 2011) , filling out the military sci-fi third-person shooter trilogy which started in ’06.”Gears of War,” which was developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox 360 Console (eventually launched for Computer), was initially launched five years ago.
The very first video game unveils Marcus Fenix, who had been jailed for attempting to help save his dad from the Locust Horde within the imaginary planet Sera. Through “Gears of War” as well as “Gears of War 2,” the Delta Squad battles to save what is remaining of humankind on the planet. However according to Chris Wynn, lead producer for Gears of War 3 at Microsoft Studios, the most recent addition to the “Gears of War” family is about more than just war — it builds on the original father-son tale involving Fenix and his dad. Not just that, but Fenix discovers that his biological father continues to be alive and well.”In the initial two games, the storyline involved fights and conflicts; it ended up being emotional, however that was not the main focus,” said Wynn. “This has more drama. You’re attempting to endure with a small group of your friends, attempting to see if you can locate a future. That is what it is all about.”
Fanatics lined up ahead of midnight today looking forward to the game at 20,000 release locations all over the world.
Guy Welch, who is currently Microsoft’s senior product and sales manager, made an early prediction. “More than 4 million happy gamers will be “finishing” each other in Gears of War 3 by the end of the week, where 75 percent will certainly engage in co-op and multiplayer modes on Xbox LIVE.
