Re: Gears of War 3
This is kind of cool.
Decide the Fate of Carmine in Gears of War 3
It’s not easy being a Carmine. In fact, it’s often fatal—just ask Anthony or Benjamin. Oh wait, you can’t. They’re dead. With the release of Gears of War 3 swiftly approaching, things aren’t looking good for the latest lamb to the slaughter, Clayton Carmine—unless you do something about it. Starting July 29, Gears fans everywhere will have a chance to determine Carmine’s destiny and benefit the amazing Child’s Play Charity in the process. How can mere mortals guide the hoary hand of fate? Read on for the details.
Fans to Decide the Fate of Carmine in Gears of War 3
Place your vote for the fate of the newest Carmine brother through the purchase of avatar gear on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, with benefits going to charity
The fate of Carmine lies in your hands! For the first time in franchise history, **** Games and Microsoft are giving fans the chance to decide the fate of a character in Gears of War 3. By purchasing avatar gear on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, fans and gaming communities around the globe will decide the destiny of the newest Carmine brother set to appear in Gears of War 3, with all the proceeds going to the Child’s Play Charity.
Keeping with the series’ tradition, Clayton Carmine will be introduced in the trilogy’s final chapter, and like Anthony and Ben, the newest rookie brother runs the high risk of meeting an early death. However, unlike in the previous games, the Xbox community will choose whether Carmine lives or dies by purchasing special Gears of War 3 avatar gear on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Starting July 29, two new avatar t-shirts will be available on the Avatar Marketplace on Xbox LIVE—one shirt reads “Save Carmine,” and the other reads “Carmine Must Die.” By purchasing the “Save Carmine” shirt, you’re casting your vote to let Carmine live in Gears of War 3. Conversely, purchasing the “Carmine Must Die” shirt means you want to see Clayton follow the fate of his brothers.
Fans attending Comic-Con International in San Diego this week will also be able to cast their votes early by purchasing real-life limited edition “Save Carmine” or “Carmine Must Die” t-shirts at the NECA booth (#3145) for $20.00. Gears fans can also visit the Xbox 360 booth (#5153) to be among the first to play Gears of War 3 Beast mode throughout the show. Finally, the team from **** Games, including design director Cliff Bleszinski, executive producer Rod Fergusson, and lead writer Karen Traviss, will be signing Comic-Con–exclusive posters at the Xbox booth on Saturday, July 24, at noon PDT.
Child’s Play is a community-based games industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children around the world. Through their network of more than 60 hospitals and through the generosity of their community of donors, Child’s Play raises millions of dollars each year to donate games, consoles, and toys to sick children. The proceeds from the sales of the “Save Carmine” and “Carmine Must Die” avatar gear and limited edition NECA t-shirts will go to Child’s Play, so cast your vote, donate to charity, and get cool Gears of War gear! Fans can get up-to-date information about the fate of Clayton Carmine by visiting www.gearsofwar.com.Comment

Re: Gears of War 3
I think Clay has to die in order for the Gears storyline to mimic that of Saving Private Ryan. Remember, there are four Carmine brothers with the first two having died in war. What has become of the fourth brother? It could be a simple write-around in the story that he died at some point or that he is still alive but MIA, POW, or simply still fighting in the war.
I think the issue with the fourth brother should obviously affect what happens to Clay. If the fourth brother - his name mostly likely will start with a "D" to go along with the alphabetical progression of Anthony, Benjamin & Clayton - has lived, then naturally I think Clayton should perish at war with the emphasis being that the fourth brother continue the lineage. If it turns out that the fourth brother is dead, Clay should live in order to continue the family lineage.
But for Clay to die doesn't mean it has to be anything silly or non-heroic like the way the other brothers have perished. He is a man obviously fueled and consumed by anger and sorrow and the writers should work into that. His overly aggressive manner should in some way lead to his death whether that be heroically by sacrificing himself for the greater good or going down against all odds in his insatiable quest for revenge. Maybe he straps a bomb to himself and kamikazes his squad away from certain death or maybe he simply is over-run by a massive rush of Locusts. Regardless, it should be an ending that is quite fitting.
As others mentioned, it would be a good "gag" if the writers were to work in many instances where one would expect Clay to die throughout the campaign. Much like the ambiguity of what happened to Tai during the course of GOW2 and what became of Dizzy throughout the GOW2 campaign there can be instances where one expects Clay to have perished only to pop up elsewhere and meet up with the squad. The game should keep his fate as ambiguous as possible until his story arc sees fit to end, whether that be life or death.
On a side note, in my heart I would have always wanted the fourth Carmine brother to not have been a man at all, but merely a Carmine sister who was held back from fighting due to her being a female. After the death of her three brothers she could no longer sit back and do nothing, and so she enlisted as a male and maintained her anonymity by constantly wearing her battle armor. In the end, she survives to see the end of the war and possibly falls in love with one of the main COG characters - Baird, Cole, even Dom - and they go about continuing the COG & Carmine lineage.Comment

Re: Gears of War 3
On an unrelated topic, I'm happy to see GOW3 adding 2 playable female characters in the game - with the possibility of a 3rd. Can't tell you how many times I've run across females while playing online and them wishing they had women COGs to choose from. Also, I'm pretty happy Cliffy B decided not to go the "dumb bimbo" route with them and went for a strong, female protagonist look.Comment
