Mark Rein denies Gears of war sequel - Image 1During the recently concluded Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2007 in San Francisco, Epic Games designer Cliffy Bleszinski (Cliffy B.) confirmed yet again that a Gears of War sequel is coming soon. He even went on and discussed all the other features that didn't make it to the original GoW that might be included in GoW 2.

However, Vice President Mark Rein made a comment at the official community site of Epic Games and denied what Cliffy B. allegedly stated. His statement was rather direct and short, and we quote, "The Gamespot article is wrong. Cliff didn't confirm anything of the sort."

To make this whole bit more interesting, Rein himself was quoted back in November that Gears of War will have sequels as long as players desire it. Well, from where we are standing, GoW is doing great - staying afloat at the Xbox Live Activity charts and not to mention it received the Best Game Award at GDC.

It's clear that Epic Games is planning to make a Gears of War sequel. It's just a question of when are they going to do it.

MS will pay big money to make the announcement so I'm not surprised he came out and said this.

That guy is a serious idiot. He's the same fool who bravely stated that there would be "no gears of war on the PC", and then goes on to say yea, gears for PC is "inevitable". He's nothing but a flip-flopper and Epic should drop his ass.

its so obvious Epics gonna release a sequel. GoW has collected so many awards & has topped the XBLive charts since release.
it would be stupid not to make GoW 2&3.

They never said their would be a sequel they just speculated and you guys took it as gospel. Just like a lot of people were mad at Bungie for delaying Halo 2 when in-fact they only ever announced one release date and it was met on time. Gears will have a sequel but these exec types don't like to anounce things until they are well into the development process. Like when they said their would be no PC version, they hadn't started it yet so they weren't really lying. Give them a break.

"It's just a question of when are they going to do it."

Not really, it's pretty obvious they're working on it right now. I'd say early 2009 it comes out
