Gears of War 3 debut trailer arrives

Footage aired on Jimmy Fallon. Quick, look surprised!
The Gears of War 3 debut trailer has finally landed after it aired on the Jimmy Fallon show last night.



This came as no surprise since Microsoft accidentally announced Gears of War 3 on Xbox Live last week.

Even before that, however, CVG's sister site Edge exclusively revealed that Microsoft have pencilled in April 8 2011 as a release date for Gears of War 3 in order to avoid clashes with Halo Reach and Natal.

They didn't exactly give too much away, did they?

Still, just for you, CVG...

*gives best surprised face*

Ive really enjoyed the previous Gears adverts and teasers and this one was no different, although the Game is a year away it already on my radar and cant wait to see how they finish the story!

Give us a Beta though Cliff, you know it makes sense!

I have to say Mark I was very shocked to hear they were making a Gears of War 3, I thought it was all nicely finished in the last one so this came as a huge surprise, almost as much as finding out Dominos is tastier than Pizza Hut (screw you Hutboyz).

That said, the four fighting side by side at the end makes me hope for four player co-op, but then they had the opportunity to do it before and never did, the damn fools.

Shocked

Whoa! Totally unexpected!

I thought they'd have shown some jungle footage, but I guess they're saving that for later. Dom's beard is superb. Very Happy

Nice!

4 player co-op in Gears 3 would be the best feature for me personally. I wouldn't care if they sacrificed graphical improvements if it had that.

After a bit of digging around online, I found this http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=723963 . Looks like 4 player co op confirmed and some other little tidbits of info.

There's a story?! I thought it was just about meaty looking men shooting meaty looking aliens from the safety of a chest high wall.

This reminds me to get around to completing the first one at least.

I'm really excited for this game especially after seeing that trailer. No doubt the bearded guy is Dom and it's awesome to finally see female soldiers.

Excellent work Stonecold, looks like this will be an awesome game to end the trilogy.
Black Mantis on 13 Apr '10
well impressed with that trailer, being a slave to all things Gears and after reading the books i would say the woman is Anya Stroud.

Nice to see the Locust still fighting with the humans and the immulsion Locust, could that lead to a 3 way battle online?
bfettboba on 13 Apr '10
Yet ANOTHER "AAA" title to look forward too, bring it on!! Very Happy
Tonyb on 13 Apr '10
As much as I love gears, thats an awful lot of grey.
quain-chi on 13 Apr '10
Its been long enough. More of the same it seems but thats not so much a bad thing. Only time will tell.
OG1-KENOBI on 13 Apr '10
New girl characters is a good touch! Double barreled shotgun, Cole is bald! ehhhrmm, tentacle monster was sweet as, I like the new guy too, he is going to be some competition for Marcus in the butch stakes.

EDIT - Ok so the "new guy" is just Dom with a fat ass beard and the "new girl" is Anya! hahaha.

Can't wait to see some gameplay.
Sinthetic on 13 Apr '10
That me me chuckle. You could say the same thing about uncharted too, but it was still amusing.

I think you missed something. Uncharted didn't have aliens in and the men weren't meaty enough and the story was nothing like Gears. Razz
NaththeNarc on 13 Apr '10
Hope they fix the multiplayer,Gears 1 brilliant,Gears 2 was broken IMO.
modge on 13 Apr '10
Damn Dom's beard was awesome, He doesn't look like a t**t anymore. Good trailer.

Yes I know that, but everybody needs a fanboy get out clause.

It is called Yin/Yan. Wink

I want to know 2 things:

Why hasn't Dom shaved? And who's the girl?

Unless that was just Baird having of gone all 60s.

Anya.
Sinthetic on 13 Apr '10
was it me or did dom look like he's given up, his reaction to the locus that was about to kill him was "finally its over" after seeing the woman statue/ashes his face was relief and just do it.

then marcus saves him, gives him the gun and he's not get up and fight for his life, its more great im still alive, well better start killing.

his appereance is also, i give up, i dont care anymore. rough looking like ethan thomas(condemned 2)

he maybe reacting badly to his wife's death. thats what he was fighting for in the 1st place to find her. now she's gone what is his reason for fighting and staying alive. nothing has he nothing left and it looks like it shows that in his apperance and reactions to the locus trying to kill him.

just my thought

I shan't comment on GoW 1 since I've only played GoW 2. That said, apparently GoW 2 is considered by many to be a superior game, so if you only play one of the two existing GoW games perhaps consider opting for GoW 2? Personally I find that GoW 2 remains one of the finest gaming experiences I've had on the Xbox 360, and I'm very much looking forward to GoW 3.
The_KFD_Case on 13 Apr '10
Awesome- I do love the Gears games... but an entire year to wait?? Awww, c'mon! That's just mean!
MrPirtniw on 13 Apr '10
Well....that was underwhelming to say the least.

I hate teaser trailers. Show me the actual game.
ledickolas on 13 Apr '10
if anyone's wondering the track on it's heron blue by
Sun kil moon off the album april.
WHERESMYMONKEY on 13 Apr '10
If you watch the end again, You will notice that when it says 'Brothers to The end', 'Brothers to' fades out beforehand. Hint that this could end the story? Or is it the end for Marcus and Dom?

Wow I hate good teaser trailers Sad

Do you get this feeling Epic have found their way to the field and are ready to milk the cow?
wombateer on 13 Apr '10
Does the locust turn around and fight with the cogs against them tentacles when they come up through the ground? After the tentacle knocks one of the locust flying?

Nevertheless its going to be an absolute masterclass from Cliff and Epic.

A fitting conclusion to an amazing saga
MJ-Thriller94 on 13 Apr '10
Need to get home to view the trailer, it won't run on my work pc Sad
zombiesinmyhead on 13 Apr '10

It's a trillogy nothing more nothing less. I hope the ending is better than that of God of War 3.

Anyway I can't say much from the teaser. Nothing realy got me excited. I will have to see more. Rolling Eyes
wwinterj on 13 Apr '10
Well, at least the song is good.
Sleepaphobic on 13 Apr '10
I predict Killzone 3 will be announced at E3 and the subsequent released date will be on 8 April 2011.

Actually, that would be rather funny.
starsail on 14 Apr '10
Ace! what i love about Gears is the story is more emotional than Halo's (I love Halo though) and youll notice that when Dom is going to get shot he just excepts it, hes lost evrything.

It seems bigger, better and chunkier. cool.

As an educted guess, i would say there are in the glassed part of Sera, even though the game will take place in jungled islands.

btw the song is Heron Blue by Sun Kil Moon

If u want t add me GT is my username but say ur from CVG
