Speaking to an audience of developers at GDC London today, the often outspoken Rein said: “Sony says the next generation starts when they say so. I say, that’s bull****. Gears of War is the first second-generation game for Xbox 360 and it looks very fine. You will never see launch titles that look this good.”
Rein also shot down reports claiming that Gears of War will be a short lived single-player experience at only 10 hours. “Someone said that at TGS but they were wrong,” said Rein. “If you’re on the development team and you’ve played it 30 times then sure, you can get through it in ten hours but for first time players it’s going to be at least 12 hours.”
Although undoubtedly Microsoft’s key title this holiday season, there’s still a lot of secrecy surrounding Gears of War, and it looks likely to remain that way until the game is released.
“We’ve shown this game quite a few times but we are trying to counteract all the hype now because we want people to know there is a lot in there that hasn’t been seen before. People will get this home and find a lot of surprises,” Rein said.
Gears of War is scheduled for release in North America on November 12 and on November 17 across Europe.
