How Gears of War rose from the ashes of a scrapped Unreal title called “Warfare”

First of all let me start by saying - (I'm somewhat of a humble guy so if I get riled its for good reason)

I'd like to pimp-smack those biatches at Microsoft for steering Epic so far of course with their bull $hit GOW exclusive Xbox only series (just so they could increase sales of that system!!! - I read quite a few places that peops only bought the 360 so they could play Gears because it isn't available on any other system and its basically the flagship title for the 360.

Microsoft is a sleeze bag that way IMO,  - they bought web TV and scrapped it (just so it wouldn't compete with windows for simpleton internet users) they pull all kinds of neat little things like this for their wallets but are often at the detriment of the end user / consumer. Everyone dumps on Blizzard for their always online DRM BS, but it was actually MS who started that little gimmick with their windows live feature, often in the place of a LAN play feature - which used to be standard. / incidentally did you guys know you play GOW 1 PC on lan with Hamachi? (been there done that, beat the game around 5 years ago with a LAN buddy)

Back to the rant;  while the Windows platform is an amazing piece of technology and Microsoft is at the top of the O/S food chain (which earns them high respect) I don't care for some of their manipulation behind the scenes and how they've vicariously effected the UT series through Gears of War especially 2 & 3. Oh well ... C'est la vie I guess.

Anyway heres the article its a good / short read.

Epic even did a news on the development from the Unreal Series game Unreal Warfare to Gears of War on their official community page (there you got it, you people who thought Unreal Warfare is just the renamed Onslaught gametype in UT3!), I'll dig it out and link on here tomorrow (or rather today), as I really need some rest now (it's 5:31AM here).
