[Request] Gears of War PS3 Build

I've seen it on YouTube and I'd like to play around with it.

 

No

 

Do you have it? If you don't want to share that's ok.

 

The answer is no

Even if you get the data (because I know for a fact its there and stuff) you're going to have one painful time trying to make it work because theres some fixes that need to be applied that only 3 people know about, 2 of which dont remember it as well as me, and one being completely non-ps3 oriented to begin with.

 

Ok, then why is the answer no? I can headbutt the wall at my own pace getting it to run, It's awesome that an Xbox exclusive found its way to PlayStation, Guess who's really the more powerful console?

 

This is why builds come to light that people want and so and so gets there hands on them and says hey look what i got peasants and then never shares and one day they quit collecting this stuff etc and it goes back into its deep crap hole it was first at and never should have came out of it in the first place if this has to be the case sadly.. lol

 

There's a lot of issues but heres the main ones.
-360 exclusive title (not even pc has it, xbone collection doesnt count here)
-on a competing platform (official or not)
-found from leaked data from epic (happened before but again this is a problem)
-took months of work to get running and still isnt functional enough (to me at least. Menus dont work, needs keyboard to load maps)
-needs a devkit (this isnt a real issue to you but to others it is)
-it runs like shit (trust me people will care here)
-you need to REALLY know what you're doing to make it work unless you resort to app_home which will only get you so far

If you've looked at past posts you'd know this is a very abnormal stance I'm taking when it comes to builds. Normally I'm the guy sharing basically anything I come across (within reason). My entire proto collection is available to everyone already. I wont bore you with the details to why but I don't have a choice on the matter.

 

You can't fix it simply with the compiled files themselves unless you have extensive knowledge in how Gears 3 handles LODs, texturing, and so forth. You'd also need to modify the PS3 tools when compiling a build to auto convert it to handle the unique RAM the PS3 has. Enjoy the video for what it is, don't expect it to be released by anyone.

Its easy to say that when your ass isn't on the line for the potential damage it may cause. If some how, some day you manage to get the files, you do what you wish. It was a little project, nothing more. Nothing worth causing trouble for.

 

Yeah the guys here are right, it was a pain in the *** to get UDK Engine (Unreal Engine 3) compiling for PS3, I was only able to this (UDK Ultimate Engine) with help of Errorjack, Pixel Butts and other guys from here and elsewhere. The Vanilla Unreal Engine 3 (the original which EPIC Games used to license for studios) itself runs slowly on PS3 than on Xbox360, so that means that many studios which developed PS3 games using Unreal Engine 3 they had to optimize it to develop their games for PS3. If you trully want to play Gears of War 3, it would better play on Xbox360, so you can enjoy it the way it was made to be enjoyed. Don`t expect too much from the PS3 Build of Gears of War 3.

However, if you want to have some fun playing, and at the same time developing a homebrew game, you could extract Gears of War 3 assets (models, textures, animations) and use UDK Ultimate Engine to create a kind of "Gears of War fan game" and get it running on PS3.

Cheers.

 

I know that feeling man it's painful to see that happen knowing it can be done cause it can but it's better keep in a safe place for now, we cannot force anyone to share things they might get in trouble for. Let's just cross our fingers and hope for the best!
