Old Spice Guy Reveals (Probably Fake) Gears of War 3 Ending


It's not guns that will defeat the Locust in Gears of War 3, it's romance.

Isaiah Mustafa, who rose to fame as the much-loved Old Spice Guy, has revealed the ending to Gears of Wars 3 in a new video, months before the game's release.

If you're worried about possible Gears of War 3 spoilers, then stop reading, although if any of the information below is actually true, I'll be very surprised.

Taking the time to answer a question from Epic's Cliff Bleszinski, Mustafa said that it wasn't guns, bombs, chainsaws that ended the war: it was the power of love. He also revealed that his character's rippling abs could deflect gunfire, an ability that will no doubt come in handy with an alien army trying to kill him. There's some doubt as to whether this ending is entirely genuine, however, as certain factual errors - like calling Gears of War a "first person shooter" - suggest that some, or indeed all, of this information might not be wholly accurate.

Joking aside, it's wonderfully bizarre things like this that make the Old Spice marketing campaign so effective. It's hard to think of many other advertisements that are so much fun to watch, which is in no small part to the excellent casting of Mustafa. It's kind of a shame that his part in Gears 3 - which is just a nameless COG soldier - isn't a little bigger.

Gears of War 3 comes out for Xbox 360 on September 20th.

I love this.

But god damn, I don't think people understand what "First-Person" means.

You know, I'm pretty sure Isaiah Mustafa has spent more time with his shirt off than on by now.

And it's AWESOME

If Old Spice guy says it's a first-person shooter, it's a first-person shooter!

Sooo... Epic will probably have to retool GoW3 into an FPS now, right? Because I doubt even Cliffy B would want to contradict the Old Spice Guy...

Am I the only one wanted to see some bullets bouncing off from his chest or some ingame related effect (like Look down, look back up and your in a battlefield etc)?
Also great he just unleash another fps vs 3rdps debate.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that the news of Mustafa being cast as a nameless COG is a ruse so that we're all surprised when we learn who he's really been cast as.

maybe he's the eldest Carmine brother? all the manlyness and awsome went into him and thus the younger brothers were lacking almost any of those.

explains the mask too he would have to cover his face or the universe would implode.

we havent seen the eldest in the other games as he was busy impregnating women.

I think these spoilers possibly apply only when GoW3 is player on Old Spice Guy's computer.
.

I suspect when played on his computer it will also feature over 300% more dinosaurs and mounted combat among other things.

Unfortunately none of us will ever experience the full glory of GoW3 as it's awesomeness on above mentioned computer would likely be lethal to normal human beings. We will have to satisfy ourselves with a mere shadow of the experience that the XBox 360 is able to handle.

He could've.
I'm even willing to forgive the ruination of all FPS... Wasn't GeoW3 a TPS? Anyway...

Old Spice Guy has officially made Gears a FPS regardless of the third person view.

Now that's manliness.
