In response to long-running rumours started at GDC, Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski has said that "there's zero chance of Gears of War being on the PlayStation 3. Can we bury that now?"
Speaking to Industry Gamers at E3, he also added, "we have a great deal with Microsoft, they're a great partner".
When asked about Epic's President Mike Capps's comments during GDC – " I'd love to ship the Gears trilogy on PlayStation" – Bleszinski riposted, "It's one of those things that would be exciting news. Hopefully DualShock would get tweaked a little bit, but anyway, enough about that." (Cliffy B's entertaining vilification of the DualShock controller has long been a source of amusement and incendiary headlines for the online games press.)
So it seems that Microsoft will retain, for the forseeable future, exclusivity to one of its headline franchises. That's that rumour dead, then. Anybody surprised?
Gears of War 3 is out September 20. Incidentally, VG24/7 has noticed that the BBFC has listed Gears of War 3 as containing 90 minutes of cutscenes.
