from article:
Most of us know Microsoft's big bad title, Gears of War While we're not getting a sequel yet, Epic Games revealed that they're working on a spin-off. Marcus Fenix ain't taking a gun this time, he'll be taking the mustached plumber's lead and have a golf game of his own. Yes, Epic boss Mark Rein confirmed that it's gonna be Gears of War Golf.

Epic went through all the trouble to hear from a Korean publisher about making casual games using Unreal Engine 3, and the results sound good. Rein says "So we got an animator to make a golf swing for Marcus Fenix, and then a programmer took one of the Gears levels and added some mounds and stuff to make a course." GoW's grenade launching mechanic was used for the ball, so let's all hope it reaches the hole safely.

Unfortunately, the project is said to be internal for Epic Game so we won't be seeing the game's launch any time soon. Good things come to those who wait, and Gears of War Golf might be a promising title worth waiting for.



Is this a joke, or is this for real? i think it could actually be pretty cool
 
It's internal. No big deal. Companies probably make shit like this all the time. I know I would if I had the resources to do so. It's nothing more than a quick tongue-in-cheek game to pass the time at the Epic Games offices.

Wouldn't this be Master Chief?

Yes, my mistake, brain cramp....but I don't see Master Chief golfing ;)
 
yea, the good ole days of innocent cartoony mascots are over. Too bad. I would kill for a sequel to Mario 64. Even if it was still 64 graphics. Nintendo is stupid for not milking that game for more.
