A while ago, we talked about a coolGears of War 3feature that wouldinclude themed unlocksfor players who had enjoyed previous Epic Games releases. Unfortunately, we will not be getting that coolBulletstormorShadow Complexgun, as apparently the plans have changed.

According to lead gameplay programmer Joe Graf, there are restrictions that block Xbox 360 games from reading data outside of your own “publisher/developer family.” This means thatGears of War, a Microsoft Games Studios title, can’t access titles likeBulletstorm, which Electronic Arts is publishing.

It’s a real shame, as I think connectivity between related titles is always a cool feature. You’ll still get unlocks from previous Gears titles, and from the beta, but you’ll have to make do without the rest of it, sadly.
