Yeah, it's the game they're relying on to move consoles this year, I don't think they'd jeapordize that by putting it out on another format, at least not anytime soon.
I dont think so either.
I wouldnt be surpraised if it did end up on the PC considering Epic's pedigree with the PC platform.
But from what I've seen from movies and screenshots, it just looks like an console game and if it was on the PC, it would like a port.
That headshot though was nuts....I think one of the best headshots ive seen.

btw, sorry to burst your bubble but its likely that all the preview images are prerendered (a.k.a. falsley advertised).
False sir. All screen-shots are on the in-game engine.
And yes, I believe this game will be the killer app of this year. 360 has one helluva line-up for this holiday season!

360 exclusive it has been said many times...
even the box art says 360 exclusive although it might change. i reckon it will stay exclusive cause if it doesn't it will take some thunder away from a killer app.
If it was on PC then microsoft would most definatly lose sales on the 360 as you won't require one to play the game.
Thats why in recent events halo annoncement have tried to be very subtle trying not to take some applause away from the biggest 360 game of this year.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did like Halo, and released it for the PC like a year and a half later. But then again, Halo was originally going to be released exclusively for the PC before MS bought Bungie, Gears has always been a 360 exclusive.
Nah I agree. They'll use it (smartly) to sell their consoles for the first year or so, and then they will probably make a port for the PC.
If Epic was going to release it to the PC, they would have already said that and release at the same time.
I dont think it will be released to the PC. It's not the same game as Halo which worked really well on the PC while this game looks and controls like an console.
I think I heared CliffyB say that its an exclusive to the XBOX and that the really wanted to do an console game.

Good point with the controls, hadn't thought of that.

For this game to work on PC you would need a monster of a PC to run this. I dont see them moving this game to PC. Like Smasandian said, if they wanted to have a PC version they would have made one at the same time.
I think most gaming ready PC's can pull of Gears Of War.
