Emergence Day: Begin Next-Generation

Anyone remember at E3 when Sony claimed that the next-generation doesn't start until they say so? I was laughing then, but now I'm laughing even harder.

Epic VP Mark Rein demonstrated Gears of War on Tuesday at GDC London and spoke to the audience a few choice words concerning what Sony claimed to be true about next-generation gaming.

"I say, that’s bullshit. Gears of War is the first second-generation game for Xbox 360 and it looks very fine. You will never see launch titles that look this good.”

Also in response claims that Gears of War was too short from TGS, Rein went on to say:

"someone said that at TGS but they were wrong. If you’re on the development team and you’ve played it 30 times then sure, you can get through it in ten hours but for first time players it’s going to be at least 12 hours."

Gears of War is set to be released on November 7 for the Xbox 360, beginning the start of next-generation gaming.
