This is more of a poll question, really, but given the number of headlines dedicated to Gears of War 3 recently, we're wondering how many PlayStation 3 owners really want this stellar franchise.
I think there are a number of things to consider when examining this question: firstly, we all have to admit that a lot of the "no" answers out there are simply based on bitterness and bias; i.e., the Xbox 360 has a great series that you don't want to acknowledge is great, and because it's not on your system of choice, you – by default – hate it. I know you're out there…just admit it. Secondly, you've got the people who, for some reason or another, simply don't like the look and feel of the games in question. I've come across many who legitimately despise the atmosphere and style, and they really don't like the controls, either. It's certainly a matter of personal preference and I respect that, but when it comes to Gears , which has a relatively unique persona, it does seem as if gamers are split on the design issue. Thirdly and lastly, PS3 owners have enjoyed a rush of top-notch exclusives over the past few years, so when asked if they want Gears , they might just respond with- "What for? I've got MGS4, Uncharted and Uncharted 2 , Killzone 2 , inFamous , Ratchet and Clank , Heavy Rain , God of War III , LittleBigPlanet , Demon's Souls and soon, Gran Turismo 5 ."
Perfectly valid; after all, we can't play every great game that comes out, as much as we might want to. But while we often chastise Epic for not recognizing the PS3 crowd, we're wondering if Gears would fare as well on Sony's machine. It suddenly has to be in competition with other titles that are arguably better and furthermore, you have many people who never played Gears . I would like to think most would just want it because it adds a great franchise to the PS3's library, but there are always outside influences beyond logic. Personally, I don't really care as I have a 360 – and I need something to put in it – and I'll be getting Gears of War 3 the instant it comes out. Granted, Gears 2 had its fair share of bugs (game crashed when I beat the final boss, game froze three or four times in bizarre places, grenade craziness with the projectile getting caught in the invisible branches of a tree and spinning 'round forever, etc.) and while I have to say I never see those bugs in anything but 360 software these days, the game still ruled. Bloody and visceral and fun.
So I'd recommend that everyone plays Gears 3 and I can't see why you wouldn't want it on the PS3. But we all have our reasons and opinions, so…what say you?
Well I won't mind if they bring Gears to the PS3 but then they have to bundle all 3 of them in one package so that we can play the whole experience and not just the last one and teh same goes for Mass Effect if they decide to bring it to the PS3.
My only worry is that it might suffer from the usual bad port syndrome that seems to plague many Multiplat games.
hello …
i'm not a big fan of the genre, the only games i played close to it would be the Uncharted series.
I do have Gears of war on my PC, but don't have a big rig, so can't play it for now, will check it out when i get my future gaming machine.
Now with Gears of War 3 on PS3, i don't know, will depend on how it looks on my fav console, if looks good, maybe yes but like OriginalSin said, would be great ONLY if no bad port & having the prequels ported.
else just too bad, won't miss a lot for i still need to play all the PS3 / PC games i have.
cheers!
Personally, I'd rather see Splinter Cell: Conviction on the PS3 over Gears !
I have a 360 too so I do not care if it comes to PS3. I would probably still play it on the 360 anyway.
I LOVE the GoW games as they are just plain fun! If you have ever shredded one of those ugly alien bugs with a chainsaw you would NEVER knock this game! SO cool!!!!!
With all of the great PS3 exclusives out now I doubt any GoW game would sell as well on the PS3 anyway…

Anyone who has read any of my previous posts should know my stance.
I fall into the 'I alreayd have too much to play on the PS3' crowd. If it came over to the PS3, I probably wouldn't notice.
Both my roommates have 360's though, so it's not like it has to come to the PS3 for me to be able to try it out. I can just go rent it.
I would like Gears in the PS3 but since its a xbox 360 exclusive they might desire a PS3 exclusive like the God of War series or some other great game, but thats just my opinion.
im just hoping gears 3 will come to pc just like gears 1 minus the bugs…
i cant finish gears1 because it corrupt my gamesave ouch…
