Op het forum van Epic staat de vertaling van een Russisch gameblad die als eerste ter wereld de details over het verhaal van Gears of War 3 heeft. Mocht je geen spoilers willen dan kan je beter niet verder lezen. Het spel speelt zich 18 maanden na het laatste deel af en daar staat de hele planeet onder water. Ook de COG is gevallen en verdeeld in kleine fracties die nu harder dan ooit vechten om te overleven.

Op een kunstmatig door mensen gemaakte outpast die de naam Raven heeft zien we een hoop oude bekende en nieuwe karakters terug. Uiteraard zijn Marcus, Dom en Cole ook weer van de partij. Nieuw is dat Anya nu ook meevecht samen met..... *verrassing* Marcus Fenix zijn vader. Anyway, hieronder wat vertalingen van het forum en de rest kan je op het Epic Forum vinden.

Update 19:20 uur:
Epic heeft het topic inmiddels verwijderd, op het moment hebben we alleen de onderstaande quote nog, maar er was nog veel meer. Wat we wel nog hebben kunnen achterhalen zijn de scans van het Russische blad waaruit de informatie kwam.

The first paragraph is saying that "the 3rd game will end the trilogy (duh) but EPIC is not giving up on the gears series. "Next ten years you'll spend hugging GoW" (as direct as I can). There will be prequels, spinoffs and maybe even a transition to a new genre. Maybe it will be like Greed Corp just with people and Locust. The main thing is that the story of Marcus Fenix is ending and ending just in time before getting boring (that's just mean)."

The last paragraph is recaping all the events of Gears 2 and the little square on bottom left is saying that Lambents are mutated locust that spit acid and explode after dying that's it for that one.

Alright...this one is saying that....

A year and a half later (aha) there is no more COG, no more government, no more organized resistance. (...aha) Leader of the COG disappeared to unknown location (wuss), army fell apart, parts of humanity formed little tribes and now fight for their survival. "We are all stranded now" (needs no translation) - say the heroes of Gears of War 3. Meaning that they are in the same spot that they left some of its territories that COG once left behind. (over run by Locust). Large number of those people died in the Hammer of Dawn offensive (ya'll better know what that is.) The ashy remains of them are shown in the trailer 'Ashes to ashes'. The Locust are now in the similar situation (yeah, keep reading). Left without homes (boohoo), driven off by the Lambent. They like the humans are fighting a war for their survivor (go LOCUST). Even the planet seems to be affected by this. Imulsion, the soul reason the humanity waged war on itself, now seems to be slowly killing off the planet (OMG I F**** KNEW IT!) They need to do something and do it quickly, but who's they? (as in who's supposed to do it.). Everyone lives by the day.

(this part is EPIC WIN) Even in multiplayer the environment constantly shifting (not explained how). The top picture is from the beginning of the match and the bottom one is five minutes later :O

"New 'home' of Macurs - aircraft carrier called 'Raven's nest' (somebody call Jonesy! ). Which sales through seas aimlessly, just trying to survive. From time to time Gears have to fight off enemies and protect their tomatoes (sounds funnier in English actually). *********SPOILER ALERT********* The game starts off with Prescott landing on the deck of the Raven's Nest. Marcus give him the EYE! Prescott says that he had a reason to leave (leave run same thing) and presents Marcus with an audio recording from Adam who has a way to save the planet (here we go again). It's easy to figure out the fore-coming events. **************no Spoiler******************

I lost this big chunk, the page refreshed but I was smart enough to Ctrl C before. Basically it talks about Baird and Cole having their own storyline at one point in the campaign. And yes that is Jace, he's in. And the author of the article thought that Anya was a guy from Final Fantasy at first.

"She (scratched out) turned into a...badass (I guess) (normal text) let her hair loose, put on armor, and now fights along side Marcus. Besides her there will be several more female characters thought mostly as...redshirts ( I guess)."

"By the looks of things the main enemy will be Lambent and not Locust...and he goes on describing the Lambent again."

Whoooh alright let's see what's next.
