...or at least Marcus’s. Thanks to the website All Games Beta, we have been able to get our best look yet at actual gameplay screens from Epics upcoming Gears of War 3.

The website recently posted a series of direct feed screenshots straight from the game. Not all of the shots are gameplay oriented, but quite a few are. The game is definitely looking brighter than either of the previous games, and I mean that literally. You can see assorted plant life and even grass... something I didn’t think existed any more on Sera outside of greenhouses and small, localized instances.

I get the hint from these screens that Gears of War 3 may have more of an “open world" feel; not that the game will be free roaming, but that many of the environments will be more open and lush than the confined areas of both of the original games. Maybe there is hope for the planet after all... check out the screenshots below:
