GamePro's GoW2 article isn't an announcement

by Dustin Burg { Feb 4th 2008 at 1:30PM }

Over the weekend, we told you about GamePro's mysterious Gears of War 2 mention on its upcoming March cover and how mysterious the whole thing is. You'll also recall that we were a bit skeptical to how newsy GamePro's GoW2 mention really is, seeing that any huge announcement like GoW2 becoming official would, at the very least, garner a huge cover spread. And now we find out that we were right to be pessimistic.

Epic's Mark Rein hopped on the Gears of War forums to tell everyone that Epic has "not announced a sequel to Gears of War to Gamepro or anyone else for that matter" and that the whole thing "is complete nonsense". So, we're guessing that the GoW2 mention on GamePro's cover is nothing more than a speculative article, maybe what they want or expect GoW2 to include "if" it were made. Back to waiting for our official GoW2 confirmation ... GDC anyone?

SurferGirl (if you believe she has credibility) claims that GoW2, Too Human and Alan Wake will be shown at GDC in the comments of this post:

1. MotorStorm 2
2. Alan Wake
3. Socom
4. Wipeout HD
5. Too Human
6. Infamous
7. LittleBigPlanet

SurferGirl's answer, a little futher down:

"ssjenbros: 2/5/10, yes. Others, no."
