Yeah, maybe that new IP isn't cancelled and Phil Spencer is trying to avoid talking about it.
What in the world?!
I still don't buy it. Black tusk pitched an idea that ms loved enough to throw halo money at. It's not going away.
There is no way MS handed them over this huge franchise and didn't say "put every single guy you've got on this project because it's coming out next year."
I'm sure they've got their new IP in the wings that they'll come back to. Someday. :\
That would be great, but I don't buy it.Anyone see this tweet chain?

Looks like they are working on more than Gears.
oddone stahpUnannounced Halo project.
Oh yeah, it's probably on hold after this announcement. I doubt it's cancelled, though, because weren't the recently hiring writers for this project?
Yup. I don't know how he thinks he can walk this back and not look stupid while doing it.

When's their game due then? Mid 2015?
Eh you don't understand what were talking about
What you posted was announced before their performance in the marketplace was materialized. They can be changing their strategy going forward to lean heavily on known performers instead of new IPs. This is my interpretation, not trying to speak for BruceLeeRoy here.
Truly. Still waiting for Last Guardian

Sorry, but what I understand is:
- we lied
- just a concept video to show "a game"
- after the "TV TV Sports Sports" backlash, we showed a game that doesn't even exist

apparently they also looked for a character concept artist last november
they really should have not shown the black tusk teaser if it was only a concept piece. And even if it was a legit game they should have waited until they were far enough into dev. Sony tried to pull the same stunt and we got debacles like, Agent, TLG, The getaway, ect. I cant help but fell the same with The Order as well.
I know the pitchforks are perpetually and forever waving for anything MS related nowadays... But can't it just be as simple as the Black Tusk teaser being an early game concept that as they went down the path of building just didn't pan out? This happens all the time, usually it isn't anything to get worked up about.
They couldn't get the concept into a full game, so rather than have this expensive studio toil away at unknown, they give them the keys to a huge franchise in need of a reboot.
But I suppose it is more fun to imagine grand conspiracies to screw us, the gaming public, out of being able to play that spy game they showed 30 seconds of cg from.
Black Tusk was working on a new IP for Microsoft, then at some point between E3 2013 and today they were moved to Gears of War.
No one lied to anyone, things just changed.
So it wasn't a game at all. It was a tech-demo. Nothing more....."an asset" created by the team to get their creative juices flowing, not necessarily an in-development game.

It was never a game, as you can see. This is sad!First Albert Penello with the lies, now Phil Spencer too.
At E3 2013 did Spencer say Black Tusk studio's was working on a concept or a new game? Rhetorical, it was meant to be a new game, they scrapped it?
So it wasn't a game at all. It was a tech-demo. Nothing more.
They've teased a game that doesn't exist.
If the game they showed at e3 wasn't real, were there other games they showed at e3 that also weren't real?
New IP from Microsoft? Surely you jest.Was excited about MS developing new IP in house, but I shouldn't be surprised that it was more smoke and mirrors from them.
XboxP3: @TheRealDoffen @Jahlvardravito You can imagine with something as big as Gears there is a lot for them to get their head around.
Steverulez: @xboxp3 So does that mean the new IP you showed a teaser of at E3 is still being made, or not?
XboxP3: @Steverulez Need to focus on Gears for now.
Maybe include a link to the trailer?
Kind of a lame one, tbph. Especially when compared to Epic's UE4 trailer stuff.
A Microsoft executive lying to us to make themselves look better? Excuse me while I fall out of my chair onto the floor in surprise.
Wow they teased a dude with a gun!!!!!So it wasn't a game at all. It was a tech-demo. Nothing more.

Go back to the first page and read. They were making a game, and was making a game since 2012, now they are making something else.
Back when they showed it, it was what Black Tusk was making. Since then something changed, Microsoft got the rights to Gears and Black Tusk is now working on that. There's no lies, no tricks or anything like that. Just straight up business.
And the games showed at E3 were real. Sunset Overdrive is coming this year, same is Halo. Quantum Break is still an unknown as to releasedate.
