Check this out... I was poking around in Unrealed, and I keep finding stuff that seems to be Gears of War concept art, textures, and meshes. For example, if you open X_jm-prefabs, you can see a bunch of propaganda posters that say things like "How will you fit into the C.O.G. The C.O.G. Needs you! Join the Ordered forces today!" as well as posters that talk about Immulsion, the fuel that is mentioned in the GoW storyline.

Moreover, the C.O.G. as well as the Locust logos are sprinkled liberally throughout several packages. There are texture files that have skins for meshes that look a lot like some things I have seen in teh GoW vids, and I recognise some meshes as well.

If you want to see what the game will look like, here is a list of packages that have found with GoW-related stuff in them. If you poke around a bit more, especially in the cubemap files, you can find some pretty interesting screenshots of levels that look like UT2004 levels, but none of them got released.

List of GoW packages

Textures:
X_ClifTest.utx
X_cp_evil1.utx
X_cp_evil2.utx
X_cp_evil3.utx (some of the words on the walls are interesting here)
X_cp_evilstatic2.utx
X_cp_projected_new.utx
X_Stevetest1.utx
X_DeployableTex.utx
X_jm-prefabs.utx (This one is the most interesting I think)
X_jm-prefabs2.utx
X_WarMechGunner.utx

Meshes:
cp_simplewall_meshs.usx
X_cp_evil.usx
X_cp_evilstatic2.usx
X_cp_stevetest1.usx


These are the ones that I'm fairly sure are related to GoW, but most of teh X_texture packages seem to be related in some way, though I'm not sure about those.

Yeah. I'll post some screenshots of a few sample things, but I'd reccommend opening those packages in the editor and taking a look for yourself. :)

These are the things that first tipped me off to the fact that there might be GoW assets here.... but all the textures and such aren't here, you'll have to look yourself. Otherwise there are far too many to post.

Could be, although the only map I can ever recall seeing any of these sorts of textures in is AS-Confexia, the bonus assault map that was released a year or so ago.

X_AW-Shaders has the skin for GOW looking soldier, not sure if its anything though :\.

I remember seeing a couple of meshes for them somewhere a long time ago. I'm vague because it really was a long time ago :lol:

Nice finds, CyMek you really have too much time on your hands :p

Hahaha. Funny thing is that some people say that you have too much freetime in your hands. LOL. I found these like at the release of UT 2004. So hell, yeah.

I must say they look familliar, but anyway, GoW is just a gear logo, anyone can come up with this.

Yeah, the X_Packages were the first ones I looked at when I got UT2004, they being the most obviosly new ones, and me being a fan of the evil and mech materials. I didn't make the connection until a few months ago since I'm not an xbawx :)360: ) fan. Keep in mind too, that some of these have a lot to do with the GoW storyline, (Can you say Immulsion?" How about "COG?") The last thing I notice is that all of this stuff is GoW-themed. It all adds up to be much more than a coincidence I feel.

Finally, someone came up with an intelligent post. Another reason I support you, Kantham.
