Gears of War 3 Officially Announced for April 2011

Hot on the heels of today's leaked Gears of War 3 gameplay details, comes a premature official announcement for Epic's gun-toting threequel. Still no solid details as yet, but if US Xbox 360 owners switch on their consoles, they'll see the image below looking straight at them.

It simply says, "The epic story concludes April 2011". You can't click on it, or do anything with it, it's just there looking at you.

Looks like MS forgot to move the announcement to Monday, as Epic's Cliff Bleszinski was supposed to be revealing something on last night's Jimmy Fallon show (podgy -faced pop gimp Justin  Bieber replaced him. Puke, vomit etc), which was widely believed to be Gears of War 3, before the appearance was shifted to this coming Monday.

Or maybe this is an indication that Bleszinski's big reveal on Monday's Jimmy Fallon will be something completely different. More than likely not, though. It will almost definitely be Gears 3. We'd bet our gold-plated Lancers on it.

Nah.  I'll just remove "Rumours" from the subject.   ;)

Here's the trailer for the "worst-kept secret in the video game industry," posted to the Late Night website ... before it's appeared on television. The trailer is prefaced by some banter with Mister B about his vintage Nintendo Power appearance and what makes a great game.

The new game has playable female soldiers in it! Take that, Crackdown 2! Don't worry, it's still jam-packed with men who look like refrigerators, and mellow music like the famous Gears of War trailer (in this case, Sun Kil Moon's "Heron Blue".) Other elements mentioned by Cliff include new weapons and new aliens -- "crazy tentacle monsters" with mutating ability. Bleszinski said GOW3 will arrive "probably around April 8" -- one year after his Late Night appearance was supposed to be shown. Wouldn't that have been nice marketing? Oh, well

Can't find it on youtube just yet but here it is.

I hate jokes that rely on visual imagery.
