Gears Of War 3 will shake up the franchise's acclaimed cover system and feature underwater missions for the first time, Edge can reveal.

Developer Epic Games is set to evolve the combat by introducing new Locust foes with tentacle-like appendages which are capable of extending to player cover spots.

Meanwhile, the COG members of Delta Squad will be equipped with explosives that can travel beneath the ground to take out enemy cover positions, our US publishing source told us.

While the first two Gears games offered mobile cover in the form of objects like burnt out cars that could be pushed around, Gears Of War 3 will feature a heavy duty mech suit the COGs can utilise both for protection and to wreak havoc.

All of these new features will be present in the singleplayer campaign and multiplayer modes, Edge understands.

We were also informed that the game will be set during the summer and introduce a number of new environments to the series, including underwater locations. The end of the last title saw the COGs sink mankind’s last city, Jacinto, and flood the Hollow in order to take out the Locust Horde beneath the surface.

Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 demo at GDC in March showed off jungle or foliage-heavy areas, which could also make an appearance in Gears Of War 3 - Epic previously used GDC 2008 to debut Unreal Engine upgrades that went on to show up in Gears 2.

Gears Of War: Jacinto's Remnant, a novel written in conjunction with Epic, continues the Gears story from the conclusion of the second game. One story strand focuses on the island of Vectes, a former COG naval base sporting fertile lowlands, forests and a river. This setting could be ideal to show off the developer’s new Unreal Engine features were it to show up in Gears Of War 3.

Gears Of War 3 has yet to be officially announced. However, Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski is set to reveal a new game on Monday’s episode of US talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and it could be on the agenda. He was originally set to appear on tonight’s show - the same day we predicted Gears Of War 3 would officially be unveiled – but said that the change in schedule would allow Epic “to take a couple more days to polish” its game.

In response to this report, Microsoft told us that it "does not comment on rumour or speculation”.

Hm... iono.

One was kick ass, but two was a bit....meh....

Mechs, i wouldnt mind. i like mechs and stuff like that, but underwater mission? Shit, if there isnt something i hate worse than underwater missions in any games.

Ill just have to wait and see i guess.
 
hm.... i know some games that beg to differ, like Dynasty warriors. Just how many times can one recreate the same battles?

In any case, i would have liked to see some quick time events during the cut scenes. I'm a sucker for that. I mean, how cool would it be for GOW if in the middle of a cut scene, a locust chains through the wall and is about to cut Fenix in half and you need to be alert and dodge somehow. I hope something cool like that is in GOW 3
 
Can't wait to see it! I don't usually watch Jimmy Fallon and find him rather annoying, but maybe I'll make a point of it to take a peek and see what's going on.

I'm a pretty big fan of the series so far, and I'm interested to know what sorts of things they're adding to and changing in the game to make it bigger, bloodier, and better than the previous two installments.

BUT: Water levels? Come on. Who even likes those? Next thing you know, they're going to say that there's going to be an escort section. When stuff has been tried and proven to be generally disliked, I think it's a good idea to keep them out of your game. Then again, I'm intrigued to see how they're going to approach it with Gears. Maybe they'll manage to make it epic. (No pun intended.)
 
I knew it would exist one day,i cant wait to find out the conclusion of the series,baird is back!! For the previous games i never bought any map pack of it,which shows my weak interest in online for these games.However,for this game,i will try to be active a lot online instead of only doing campaign for achievements.
 
I am happy that they are making Gears of War 3. I really liked number 1 but 2 fell apart like crazy. 3 better be much better or else I will lose faith in this series. Im glad that GOW 3 is thae last one because in my opinion its not an epic story so im glad its the last one. I will buy this though but god hopefully its better a multiplayer then GOW 2
 
I like the storyline way better then the gameplay and online mode,though many gamers buy gears of war just for online and they dont give a shit about the campaign,i dont appreciate that.You will find all the kind of people online. Whats popular in the series is the carmines,theres oing to be a new carmine for sure in this game,the biggest bro maybe.1st was anthony,2nd was benjamin,3rd one will die like his 2 bros lol,their joke characters but very common online.
 
The story is pretty good. It's interesting. But in my opinion, the game is best--like most games--when you're playing it with friends. That said, I'd much rather be playing online match-making with a group of buds than playing the campaign by myself. Likewise, I'd rather co-op the campaign than do it solo. It's just more fun to blow dudes up when you're doing it with a friend.
 
The first trailer for Gears of War 3 has just emerged from Cliff Bleszinski’s reveal on Jimmy Fallon, entitled “Ashes to Ashes”.

The trailer sees Marcus, Dom, Cole and Baird fighting off a Locust stronghold, with a third group now emerging as a new enemy to both humans and Locust: the Lambent.

It also sees the introduction of double-barrelled shotguns and female COG soldiers to the series.

Microsoft has just confirmed that Gears of War 3 will release on April 8, 2011, following Epic boss Cliff Bleszinski saying last night it would “probably” hit on that date.

Additionally, new Avatar COG armour is going to be available on Live Marketplace starting April 20.

This thread over on the Epic forums is claiming that IP boss Rod Fergusson has confirmed the newly-announced Gears of War 3 will contain four-player co-op.

According to the post, the revelation was made in an IRC chat. “Rod confirmed four-player co-op in the Gears IRC, with four unique characters,” said the poster, which has pulled together everything known about the trilogy finale so far.

“Rod confirmed that co-op includes Marcus, Dom, Cole, Baird and a ‘variety of other characters’.”

The game is apparently set 18 months after Gears of War 2, and after the fourth Gears of War book.

The location shown in the “Ashes to Ashes” trailer released this morning is nicknamed ‘Char’, where the remains of victims from the Hammer of Dawn strikes are present, Pompeii-style.

The trailer looks awsome, only because of the trailer i wanna play it,
And wanna know how they did with the water missions.

i think this part is alot better than 2 because 2 was just a quick release if u asked me,
like an unfinished project =/..

so i hope this one will turn out better.
 
Oh wow this one looks really interesting! Since it will concude the series this is a good way to do it. Brothers till the end? Is that reffering to them fighting as a team? Who is that new COG girl too or is that Anya and now you can fight as her? Female cog sodiers? its about time tbh. I now have my hopes high for this game and I know it will be a sucess. Also cog gears 3 avatar stuff already? Epic! Also this reminds me of Halo 3 when everyone ganged up on the flood. This wil be the same as the lambent but The locust and COG better not become friends and I am so excited now! I still think the locust queen is Marcus's mother
 
Ahhh the trailer was short,i expected seeing the locust queen,but i give it a chance since its the first trailer.Marcus and Dom,looking out for you!
 
My eyes and ears had the privilege of viewing and listening to this trailer the other night, and man did they love it.

Seriously, though, I'm a huge fan of the Gears trailers for the entire series (specifically the "Mad World" trailer from the first game, "Last Day" from the second, and now "Ashes to Ashes" from the third). The selection of music is absolutely magnificent, and although it acts as an intense contrast to the games, I think it's the fact that the extreme contrast is there is why it works so well--the combination is masterful. I absolutely love them, they're all beautiful.

Anyway, it's cool to see that they're including at least one female COG character. And four-player co-op? I'm already sold on this game.
 
It's about time they brought in four player co-op. I don't see why it was missed out from the second.
I'll definitely be getting it on release day. I think I'm one of the few who didn't feel let down by the second. It was by no means as good or as hard as the first in single player, but it was still brilliant and it really shines when you play it online in comparison the first I think.

It'll be interesting to see what the whole ash statues thing is all about.
 
Hohoho major Gears fan here. I cannot wait for this game. It comes a day before my birthday too! :]
I thought this trailer was really well done. Gears is a pretty gun-violence filled game and it's amazing how they managed to turn it around like that. I'm loving the idea of a female COG! I hope it's Anya fighting alongside them!
I'm also loving BEARDED DOM. Haha, man, that is one hell of a beard. :D It's great to see some old faces again though. Cole-train makes the game for me.
4 player co-op will be interesting!

Idk why everyone thought Dom was adam fenix in the trailer at first,wtf its obvious that its dom. Since its the conclusion of the game,I hope no one dies,maybe the 3rd carmine cuz the carmines are jokes.

I guess the other 2 players will be cole and baird,they will walk their own paths sometimes when theres an option to choose left path or right path.
 
I didnt recognise Dom with the beard lolz. I wont be getting it as Im not a die hard GOW fan, but I know the characters. Love Cole Train, he makes me giggle. Its nice to see a female character on the field, but shes looks mega butch lol. I think Marcus will end up dying, I hope not. But it may be a one last stand. Even the trailer says Brothers To The End, then The End is highlighted. Maybe end to the series or end to the squad??
 
Well I'm a huge fan of gears of war actually. Marcus, Cole Train, Baird and Dom were awesome in the other two. Now I just hope with the 4 person coop that it won't take away from the story line, because I'm pumped about this.

The single player campaign story was out of this world good, but the multiplayer horde mode in the 2nd one was amazing. I can't wait for the next installment of GoW 3.

I never experienced online much in the first gears of war,not much in gears of war 2 online either,i like the storyline better.

but what u said,the 4 person coop,i wonder if for example,marcus and dom have some scenes that the cole and baird players cant see cuz their in seperate path,lol i ownder how this will work out.
