Anyone willing to bet that Gears Mac will have even more content than Gears PC all of which won't be available to 360 owners? Anyone? Nobody? Shucks ...

Sounds good, but I can't afford to bring my comp up to spec for the game, what with all of the OTHER games coming out for the 360 this year alone. Jebus.

Well...since (i think) macs have less modding options than pcs then this'll be good because then even people that DONT have high-end pcs can play...oh well...just another company going as multiplatform as possible to rake in as much profit as possible...

Can anyone help me take this knife out of my back?
What's next, Gears on PS3? I suppose you can't really blame Epic, I guess it does cost a lot of money to make a game as good as Gears.

Microsoft seem to be really open about bringing Gears to other platforms besides its own. All except for of course, PS3.
Still, I have a strange feeling Rein may have been joking about this, yet at the same time, UT on the Mac isn't a wild idea either. I'm staying right here on this fence.

They've been saying for awhile that UT was going to Mac and Linux. The Gears part is a surprise though.

I wish Gears would just concentrate on it's #1 platform, improving on the game and making d/l content. Bungie FTW! They only care about Xbox360, and then PC a couple years later.

If this doesn't have Games For Windows LIVE support and Achievements then whats the point.
I'm not expecting it to work with that system, but it would be great if they could make it work.

'Gears' really started everything up again for Epic, and they're just rollin' with it. I say 'go'.. that PC exclusive stuff doesn't blow me away, and I can wait a few months for UT 2007 to act as an 'after-Holiday dessert' for me.
If I was Epic, I'd be using my newly found fame and industry weight to make as much money as I could too! You KNOW they realize the biggest Epic fanbase is us on our 360s so I don't feel slighted at all or anything. We'll always be first and foremost in Cliffy B's mind.
Now..if Epic went over to Sony or something, THEN I'd be mad..but PCs (or Macs) were never in direct competition against consoles, and there isn't a large financial gain to be had with Sony right now. We're set :)

You've got to think, Apple just said not long ago at WWDC that gaming is going to be a huge move for them with the release of Leopard this fall - id is signed on with them, why shouldn't Epic? GoW on OS X would be an amazing piece of software and I look forward to seeing it.

ok... so they have the manpower to port the entire game over to Mac, but they don't have the manpower to port the new PC content to Xbox 360? hmmm...

I'm honestly expecting the content to show up for the 360 eventually anyway. They can have it as a download for free and pack it into future versions of the game after the holidays to sell more copies. Why not?
In the meantime, it's worthwhile saying only the PC version is going to get it for them. I'm obviously being optimistic, but we'll see.

Since Epic said the pc version extra content was an incentive to by it, I believe they will use this logic to also give the MAC version its own content not found on other platforms.
Epic to me is acting like a big dousch bag whore that I wouldnt fuck with a ps3 fanboys dick.

So because I have a high-end mac that dual-boots to Windows, and an Xbox 360, I can get three copies of the same game! I get all the available content possible!
Woo.

I agree...They have the man power to completely redesign the game for a Mac...but then they can't do a simple, and yes, it would be QUITE simple to port the rest of the PC "exclusive" content to the 360? Thats bullshit. They just realise that with the release of Halo 3, GOW will die off.

I'll get serious here for a second.
Gears Of War is most likley the only franchise in gamming to date that has the pontentual to crush what Halo has got going on, but it needs to stay where it belongs.
Epic just seems to be destroying thier credability with us in thier quest for more money. I dont care so much about pc release and neither do most of U guys. But when the new content isn't brought to the homeland, well its like an undercover agent that has lost thier true identity. Where just left here, waiting to here from our valuable Epic with not so much as a peep from them in our direction. GOW is butter, I'm affraid though, Epic is spreading it too thin.

Porting the 'exclusive' PC content isn't about man-power or time, it's about incentive. CliffyB is has gone on record stating that the content needs to be exclusive for their to be any interest in the PC version, which is completely understandable.
We're not getting the extra content, just deal with it.
But when Gears 2 comes out, who will get it first? We will. That's what really matters here.
