Update 1:

Assemble your squad and brace yourself for a stunning look at the most anticipated blockbuster of the year, as a new trailer for “Gears of War 3” premieres next Saturday, May 28 during two of the world’s biggest sporting events of the month.

This action-packed trailer offers a riveting look at the epic-scale campaign in the “Gears of War” trilogy finale, and debuts on May 28 during the Champions League Final Match at approximately 9:45 p.m. GMT around the world, and during Game 6 of the NBA Playoffs on TNT in the U.S.

You can also catch the video on the Gears of War Facebook Page.

I don't know if it's worth a new topic or not considering how short it is, but MS just sent us this new teaser of the single player campaign:

And a capture:

Gears Newsflash! The Gears of War 3 [PEGI 18] campaign trailer will be revealed on Saturday May 28th after the Champions League final. Can't wait until then? We've got a teaser for you right now...
source: Xbox UK Facebook.

I think, that is worth a new thread.

Thanks for that, the news MS sent us didn't mention all these details about a full trailer later. I was kinda wondering what it was all about.
Edit:
In case it's not clear enough in the OP, there is a short 8 seconds video from that full trailer there:

I just filled the cup.

 

[yankeehater]

Nice, I cant wait to see it. Mp looks fucking amazing already.

 

[WJD]

Nice. Hopefully I'll be in a celebratory mood for it.

 

[webrunner]

Whew, I was worried it was going to be released on just any old May 28, but if it's THE May 28 then I'm sold.

 

[Dabanton]

Salivating.

The MP was great the SP i'm expecting to blow me away.

 

[SPEA]

My body is ready...

 

[Hypertrooper]

You guys wanted more campaign news; sit tight! The trailer news I retweeted from @GearsofWar3 is the start of that. We so excited.

CliffyB tweeted that.

 

[Nirolak]

Do want.

 

[LEGGZZZZ]

This will be amazing.

 

[op_ivy]

this is the first look, in video, of the campaign? i'm not a fan of gears MP, but i still may pick this up at some point for SP

 

[pr0cs]

reading the books has done nothing but made the release of the last game so much harder.
Can't wait to see how the story ends.

 

[Nirolak]

There was a video at last E3, but the campaign was a lot rougher back then and it was a very short look.

 

[.la1n]

fuck yeah

Biggerer. Betterer. More Badasser.

 

[Raxus]

Biggerer. Betterer. More Badasser.

Hopefully less annoyingerer.

 

[metareferential]

Hopefully less annoyingerer.

Co-op never bores. Neverer.

 

[Diablohead]

i've been playing gears 1 again lately, the game still holds up visually but compared to that screen what an improvement.

 

[FrankT]

. We so excited

.

 

[LowParry]

I have a rendezvous with death....

 

[radicalchris]

love the gears trailers, especially the first with mad world playing in the background, amazing.

 

[Kafel]

They can't wait for E3 ?

 

[Yen]

In celebration of Barça's victory, surely.

 

[Proelite]

It's Friday.

 

[Nirolak]

They can't wait for E3 ?

The impression I'm getting is that E3 is focused on Kinect for both core and casual titles, and Gears 3 doesn't have any Kinect functionality.

 

[FrankT]

They can't wait for E3 ?

Seems like the cliffy tweet suggests this is the start. Not to mention the MS PR from the Spike E3 coverage mentions it specifically so I'm sure we will see more.

 

[FrankT]

Xbox 360: The Future Revealed, hosted by GTTV’s Geoff Keighley, will air LIVE from the USC’s Galen Center in Los Angeles. During the 90-minute showcase, Microsoft will reveal its plans for the future of the Xbox 360 platform. This year viewers will be treated to a never-before-seen demo from September’s Xbox 360 exclusive, Gears of War 3, one of the most highly anticipated games of 2011. Viewers will also see an exclusive new look at Forza Motorsport 4, the latest release in the acclaimed Xbox 360 exclusive racing series. The special will also reveal the latest in innovation for Kinect, the groundbreaking new entertainment platform launched last November.

[Kafel]

Well it's the pre-order campaign trailer anyway. If they're able to air it everywhere in the world during the C1 match then wow.

 

[Blimblim]

I've added the 720p version of the teaser video to the news linked in the OP.

 

[Grisby]

Yes.

Oh, I didn't mean that it wouldn't be there at all, but that this allows them to reduce the amount of time they have to spend on non-Kinect things while still getting a lot of coverage.

Like I'm sure Modern Warfare 3 will be there as well without any Kinect functionality.

The more major things you show at one event, the less coverage any individual item can get.

 

[Neuromancer]

I can take Marcus's pulse from here

 

[luxarific]

Yay, Gears trailers have been the best this gen.

 

[adamsapple]

Hope the trailer is narrated by Ice T.

 

[Arnie]

Epic.

 

[twinturbo2]

I just filled the cup.

Look at all dat juice.

 

[ZROCOOL]

Can't wait.

 

[derFeef]

Nice! Love Gears for the campaign, can not wait.

 

[ShaneB]

A day after my birthday. I'll take it! Should be awesome.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

We so excited.

One day too late, should've been the 27th.

 

[LevityNYC]

The world is ending tomorrow...I wish they'd move it up.

 

[duk]

yes plssss

 

[BigTnaples]

Can't wait.

 

[LQX]

Good. Was worried MS would waste time demoing it at E3.

 

[TheOddOne]

Good. Was worried MS would waste time demoing it at E3.

Seems there will also be stuff at the show.

 

[trancekr]

Here we go. I'm ready.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Looking forward to it.

 

[French]

Good. Was worried MS would waste time demoing it at E3.

?

Kinect will be a waste of time, not Gears 3.

 

[alphaNoid]

Naked, in the cold, I will camp if I must to get this launch day.
