[XBU Böhser Onkel]

Soweit ich weiss ist der Termin verschoben worden und den englischen Text haben wa jetzt auch schon des öfteren hier im Forum gepostet.

Also ich finde Respawn würde den Multiplayermodus von GoW zerstören!
Da würde viel zu viel Hektik ins Spiel kommen! Ich finde es so schon echt gut und man überlegt vorher gut was man tut und stürmt nicht einfach so drauf los ;-)

Der Update soll doch kostenpflichtig sein und wird unter diese Woche noch erscheinen. Später wird es aber kostenlos zum Download verfügbar sein.

Quelle, bitte? Die können kein Update kostenpflichtig machen, sonst sind die Spiele ja nicht kompatibel zueinander und diejenigen ohne Update kucken in die Röhre (sprichwörtlich). Und wie dumm soll das bitte sein für Bugfixes Geld zu verlangen? Was sie machen können ist den Spielmodus seperat als DLC für Geld anzubieten, das Update bekommt dann aber immer noch jeder. Schreibt doch net so viel uninformierten Scheiß!

Uninformierten Scheiß???

Here is a response to a thread over at EvilAvatar that I posted this morning. You can download the podcast at 1UPYours.com - this is the April 6th edition. The interview with Epic CEO and founder, Tim Sweeney, and myself starts a little bit after 38 minutes into the podcast.

Folks,

I think you guys are blowing this up into something bigger than it is. Please listen to the entire podcast before jumping to conclusions.

What we have here is simply a difference of opinion on how to maximize the return on Gears of War - something both Epic and Microsoft want to do. While we create products like Gears because we love games, and we have a passion for making them, at the end of the day this is a business for both companies and how we earn our living.

Epic thinks the way to maximize the return on Gears of War is to give the maps away for free and Microsoft thinks the way to maximize the return on Gears of War is to sell the maps. So what we’ve agreed to do is to put these maps on sale at a reasonable price then make them free a few months later. They did this with the original Halo2 map pack and it was a huge success. Lots of people bought the maps and lots of people downloaded them when they became free. That’s what is going to happen and it seems like a fair compromise for both companies and a win-win for Gears players.

Why does Epic not have control over this even though we created this content on our own time and our own dime? Quite frankly Xbox Live Marketplace isn’t our store. It’s Microsoft’s store. Like any retailer they have the right to figure out what goes on the shelves of their store and what price they sell it at. They spend the money to operate the store and deliver the content. They’ve also spent billions of dollars to create and build Xbox and subsidize it’s the price so you can afford it and we can make games for it. As our publisher, they also invested tens of millions of dollars marketing Gears of War, and have done an awesome job for us, so they have a right to a good return on that investment.

As Tim Sweeney and I said in the podcast, we want the download economy to work – it is something the industry needs, something we hope to use in the future, something that will help bring more variety to end-users and ultimately could help bring prices down for end-users. If we had to put this map pack on a disc and sell it in retail it would be more expensive to end-users and maybe we wouldn't have done it because of all the extra work and cost involved.

In the mean time we are planning to bring out an awesome new Gears of War multi-player gametype called Annex that works will all of the existing multi-player maps and the new pack we're talking about here. The 1UP guys who got to play it a few weeks ago left the office raving about how it could be our best Gears gametype yet and I think a lot of people will enjoy it. Best of all, it is totally FREE and will come in the new Gears update that we expect to see released this week.

Ich nehme Scheiße zurück, war nicht angebracht.
Aber breaking News für dich: Ein Update kostet nie was, bemüh dich mal um deine Ausdrucksweise. Kostenpflichtig kann nur ein DLC (Downloadable Content) sein. Beide sind deutlich voneinander abzugrenzen, am Ende entsteht hier noch ein falscher Eindruck.

[XBU Böhser Onkel]

Ajo das Update MUSS kostenlos sein wie XTC schon sagt sonst könnte man online ja gar ned mehr zocken da nicht alle die gleiche Version haben.
Das die neuen Maps erst was kosten und dann irgendwann gratis sein sollen find ich komisch aber erstma abwarten.
Ich hoffe das Annex nich mehr lange auf sich warten lässt.

AutoUpdate verfügbar!

Gears of War Auto Update

Later today, a Gears of War auto update is going to be available. I am not sure of the exact time, but here are some of the details of what the AU contains:

In Annex, gamers seize victory by keeping control over key map locations, or objectives, long enough to collect a winning number of points. Every map contains two to five identified objectives available for capture, with one objective active at a time. Objectives are based on map weapon-spawn locations and have a potential value of 60 points toward either team's score. Teams collect those points by maintaining ownership of an objective until all 60 points have been distributed. Every second that a team controls an objective, the team gets one point. When an objective falls to zero points, the next objective is selected at random.

And while defending their objectives against the onslaught of Xbox LIVE opponents, gamers may notice the following minor adjustments to "Gears of War":


*VGA Cable Support: Monitor resolution widths greater than or equal to 1280 now render as letterbox. In particular VGA users running at 1280x1024 will now see the game in full 720p (1280x720) resolution in letterboxed form.
* Adjusted Assassination Multiplayer Gametype: Leader no longer has to unlock weapons and now has to be executed to die.
* Adjusted Boomshot: Splash damage to be more effective rendering targets down-but-not-out
* Adjusted Hammer of Dawn: Aiming will be more forgiving of moving targets
* Adjusted Roadie Run: Reduced frequency of accidently grabbing cover while running
* Kill Message Ticker: Ticker can now be seen while down-but-not-out and spectating
* General: Addressed a number of possible exploits in multiplayer

Hit www.gearsofwar.com for further details.

Again: I don’t know the exact time the AU will be released, but I’ll try to post a comment (or get e to do so) when it does go Live.

Also der neue Game-Type ist Sau geil! Schade ist jedoch, dass die Kills nicht zu Erfolgen führen. Für mich ist es am schlimmsten da ich nur noch die 10000 Kills brauche und man bei Anhang die am schnellsten bekommt...So ein Müll, aber echt!...Naja, dann wird das wohl noch noch länger dauern ...
