Epic working on Gears of War conversion?

[Dark Drakan]

It was originally said that IF a PC version of the Epic Xbox 360 title Gears Of War was ever produced that it might take years to come out and convert. However new rumours are floating around that, that might not be the case at all and it might have very soon.

Back in February Epic's Mark Rein had said that he wanted a constant steam of downloadable content for the game but added there will be a 'fun' little surprise in the next update also but wouldnt go into further details. When questioned about a possible PC version he had said

A PC version is 'Inevitable' but technology is a key hurdle to overcome.The big challenge is to make a game that was designed solely for the console... to take advantage of every last little corner of that console, to fill every little crack and run as many threads as we could and do as much to exploit the power of that machine, and make it run well on enough PCs to be worth releasing. That's a challenge. "UT will help us there, because Unreal Tournament 3 will be kind of our vanguard PC product, and it's helping us get optimisation on the PC. So it's just a matter of, now, can we make Gears run on enough PCs that it's worth selling...or do we have to wait in five years until everyone has a PC that can run it?

"It's inevitable, but it's just not there today."

However on a recent article on The Inquirer.net he is quoted to have said...

Epic is planning and working on the conversion.

In fact the shooter will come to PC soon.

How soon is 'soon' we dont know
