There are multiple developers working on next gen titles already, and have been for a while.
Next gen will start Fall of 2013.

That sounds pretty good. A super-secret high tech island lab hidden from the world by a 24/7 hurricane? Cool location. It could be like Bioshock during the fall of Rapture.

It's not the Gears dev team though. I was hoping the main team had moved on and it looks like they have.

It's the story of Jaime Vega and how he gets sucked into a dimensional vortex and joins the System Alliance to fight the Reapers.

Hmm. I could see them releasing this game, made by another dev but still with a big name on the 360 even as the 720 launches with something else big from another pub. Giving both systems a reason to own or purchase. Keeping the old system alive with a fresh and popular series and the new system going with a couple big IP's as well.

I really hope the 720 has BC in some fashion. Even if it is 50 bucks more for a BC SKU.
Yeah, who knows?. Maybe someone else from the books/comics like Barrick?

yea but that was a remake of an old game. This will most likely be Microsoft fall 2013 game.

people just like to hate on MS because they churn out a new AAA halo, gears and forza title every other year. If you aren't releasing 70% range titles like starhawk, Twisted Metal and the yearly yakuza game yourexclusives are seen as lacking.

WTF?!? You were hoping Gears 3 would be a 720 title....you would have been willing to wait what another 2 years to recieve Gears 3.....with the 360 still having a mean market share how would that be logical?
I know. Hell, I was a tad disappointing Gears 3 was on 360... Let alone Gears 4.
Bring on Next Gen Dammit!
For atleast the next 3 years there will be more 360s than 720s so if they can still make good games for the 360 they should....why waste time sitting and waiting for the 720?
We are assuming this is PCFs Gears game, which means Epics A-Team is probably working on Gears of War 4(or whatever the 720s early flagship title will be called).
Epic seem pretty happy with Microsoft so im assuming they will have some 360 exclusive next gen.
Everyone disappointed or shocked that PCFs gears game is coming to 360 as opposed to 720 hasnt though about this enough.

I really would like it if this game starts of per-emergance day and leads into E-day about 1/4 way into the story.
Also, I do hope it is a FPS. It would be a really cool way to handle it as a spin-off.
Yup, makes sense. I hope they go that route with this game, because I do plan on getting a 720 day 1. Well, if my financial situation improves that is and it is not grossly underpowered or overpriced.

Please, don't do this console war bullshit
omg he linked metacritic reviews, omg
edit: And I'll join the chorus that I hope this is actually some kind of FPS title, would be a good direction for a spin-off and PCF are damn good at those

Hell yes! So ready for this. The Gears of War franchise is the best thing to come out of this generation, IMO. I'm definitely down for a prequel/sequel...whatever the fuck this game is, I'm all for it.
I'd imagine that since Epic is busy with Fortnite, that this is the long rumored People Can Fly project. I loved Painkiller and Bulletstorm, so I'd love to see what PCF can do with the franchise.

That would be... ingenious.
Personally, I hope it's more focussed on the Pendulum wars. Having human enemies and such would change things up nicely.

As a huge HUGE Gears 1 fan, the other games in the series left a pretty sour taste in my mouth, so I will probably pass on this one. Not falling for EPICs shit again.
It is a possibility of course
Though holiday 2012 was a possibility too and now has gone to zero chance
If they keep announcing 360 games for 2013 the chances for a 720 get slimer and slimer

If it's a prequel I hope it has Carmine's dad
And Gears 3 sucked compared to 2. Make the game more like Gears of War 2, Epic.

I saw this on the Facebook page. Can't say I'm not surprised; like everyone else has said, it's probably the rumored People Can Fly prequel. Unfortunately, as feature rich as Gears 3 was, the novelty wore off fast for me. I was a fan of Bulletstorm so this is probably going to be good. As a huge fan of Horde, I didn't like the new Horde and the dedicated servers/P2P issue was another nuisance that caused me to stop playing it. I haven't touched since around November myself.I hope this new Gears brings a couple of new things to the table; I seem to recall Cliff Blezinski saying that he would be cool with a style change for a new Gears so this must be it. And maybe this is just me, but I would love to see cel shaded comic style Gears game because it suits it (in my dreams).

I loved Gears 1 but Gears 2 sucked. Gears 3 was pretty decent though.

As was said in another thread about the 720 release. It would be cool if they led with the 360 with tons of flash and said that's a 720 game. Let people feel just a BIT disappointed for a couple seconds then said "Nah just kidding" and changes to the 720 version.
I'm like everybody else, I like sequels, I really do, but why is Microsoft so scared of trying any new IP's? Sure, I know they sucked at it during the Xbox 1 days, but why does everything either have to be Gears, Halo, or Forza these days? The only thing that does give them some variety is how crazy diverse and good XBLA games are, but besides that, it's either the three mentioned, which to be fair are all great franchises, or Kinect trash.
I mean, Sony does the same thing to an extent, but they're still trying a lot of new stuff with 1st party games and exclusives.

Wasn't expecting this. Surprised its not multi platform.

The best part of E3 is the posts the week before. It's like a time machine back to 2006/2007.
Because sequels are much more profitable. You get to re-use lots of assets and you've got an existing fanbase. This is a way to recoup some of those huge development costs from the beginning of the cycle. It's a very sensible strategy for MS.

Because it works.
Why do Nintendo crank out Mario, Zelda and Pokemon so frequently? Because it works.
That's all there is to it.
If there was no demand for more Gears and Halo, you wouldn't be getting it.
Yeah I agree... give us something new for god sake. Hell, they even have access to IPs that I'd much more be interested in seeing over GOW such as Perfect Dark, Shadowrun (?), Banjo-Kazooie etc.
huh? epic said that gears will stay exclusive to ms/xbox.

PLUS Unreal Engine 4 is the poster-boy for nextgen AND Gears is the poster-boy for Unreal Engine in general AND Epic was the one who convinced MS to double the 360's RAM through the same kind of comparative demo with the first Gears. It makes too much sense.
End of the console cycle. Wait til next year before you blow them off. We already know of:
New Lionhead MMO
New Remedy IP
3 new Rare IPs
New MS Vancouver game
Ryse from Crytek
Plus half a dozen new studios, which we have no idea of what they're doing.
Plus that $300 million to fund new IPs through outside studios.
And of course all the other partnerships they like to do, including XBLA.

AWESOME!!!
Gears 3 is the best competitive shooter on consoles even with the issues it has and I can't wait to see what epic has in store for the follow up.

I honestly can't believe we're already getting another Gears. If I had to guess, it will most likely be a spin-off, as I can't imagine this being Gears 4.

Yeah I don't get this thought at all. Unless Epic and MS have some kind of major disagreement, Gears will always be Xbox exclusive.

All of the hardware rumours say that MS is going to be using a PPC CPU and AMD GPU which makes it very likely that backwards compatibility will exist.
