In just two weeks one of the biggest betas to hit Xbox Live will finally release. Â The worldwide beta for Gears of War 3 will begin on April 25th (18th for Bulletstorm owners). Â Epic has put together a ViDoc for the upcoming beta, where Bleszinski, Fergusson, Capps, and others reiterate what the company has been saying about the importance of the beta and the differences between Gears 1,2, & 3 among other things.
The changes between Gears of War 1 and Gears of War 2 may have been subtle to the casual player, but to the dedicated Gears fanatic even the slightest changes are points of concern. Â Rod Fergusson thinks that Epic has hit the “Sweet Spot” with Gears of War 3 striking a perfect balance for the game, making it accessible enough for newcomers to the series and familiar enough for the Gears of War faithful.
Have a look at the video below for some never before seen footage from the beta. Â There’s surely more to come as we get closer to the most anticipated beta of the year, at least for Xbox Live subscribers.
