I previously reported that Gears of War 2 would be featured in the next issue of Gamepro, according to the cover.  But then Mark Rein, of Epic games, responded by saying, "It is complete nonsense. We have not announced a sequel to Gears of War to Gamepro or anyone else for that matter."  That's true, but someone in your company may have loose lips, Mark. 

    Gamepro claims: "Our sources tell us that Gears of War 2 is coming in 2008."  Now that statement could mean anything.  "Sources," could mean that statement made by Cliffy B's brother.  Apparently he made his statement by gathering information from EGM's own rumor monger, Quarterman.  

Here is an actual scan of the Gamepro article. 

    Even with Mark's dismissal, rumors are still flying around about this one.  Xbox360Fanboy.com is now reporting that Surfer Girl (industry insider) has confirmed that Gears of War 2 will make an appearence at this year's Game Developer's Confrence.  Xbox360Fanboy.com examine's Surfer Girl's credibility:

"Looking back, Surfer Girl has been able to keep a pretty solid track record for being spot about insider news, but know that her insider tips are not always perfect. So, take all her tips for what they're worth."

    So we've got Gamepro, Quarterman and Surfer Girl all talking about Gears of War 2 now?  Sounds like we may actually see Gears of War 2 this GDC, which takes place February 18-22 in San Fransico.
