[Majukun]

Hope you enjoy playing Uncharted 4.

they have more franchises and more variety of genres,i'm sick of playing only tps and FPS,and i don't like semi-realistic racing games

 

[Deadly Joker]

Too soon.

Yep.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Pretty shitty cover all things aside.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Maybe Microsoft's Conference won't be so bad after all.

Or maybe it'll be far, far worse than what we can imagine.

 

[duckroll]

Dual launch? Is that even feasible anymore or too much cannibalism

Twilight Princess?

 

[Dany]

there is too much GOW for me to handle on micrsoft and sony platforms.

 

[Scanna]

at the ones who're saying "already", so you know this is going to release this year? come on, Gears 3 and halo 4 were announced a year and a half before release...it could be good for MS to have one year a halo game, the other year a Gears game...

 

[Mileena]

Gotta get all the milk before the cow runs dry

 

[injurai]

Gear from the blue... damn they really don't want to start any new IP's until next-gen. At least Naughty Dog has the balls.

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

I'm ready for more of the best controlling TPS out there! I was not expecting a fourth entry in the Gears franchise on 360 though. I hope they can squeeze some more graphics out of that rock.

 

[TheOddOne]

So like I guess before, this will be Microsoft's last thing at the conference: new Gears prequel trilogy.

 

[Pranay]

If its made by People can fly , i am really interested and now i might purchase a new xbox for this and halo

 

[ZeroGravity]

Great news.

 

[ilMikhail]

This are onyx guards , not regular cog soldiers , so I dont think its a emergency day prequel .... ummm

whatever more gears daaaaaaaamnnn thanks epic <3

 

[Hiro_Kunimi_80]

Dual launch? Is that even feasible anymore or too much cannibalism

September Gears
October Forza
November Halo

this could be why microsoft calls this year as "biggest"



or more likely "Spring 2013" Gears ( as last main game for X360)

 

[Elginer]

hoooooooly shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

 

[Live Free or Die]

PS3/360 or just 360 again?

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

Noooooo! This would have been an awesome surprise for the conference.

 

[SuperÑ]

Too soon, i didn't even finish Gears3 campaign :/

 

[clutch.as.it.gets.]

GoW by People can fly? What a wast of talent. GIVE ME BULLETSTORM 2

This. And way too soon. They couldn`t even wait for the next generation?! Milking at it best.

 

[Arnie]

So like I guess before, this will be Microsoft's last thing at the conference: new Gears prequel trilogy.

Doubt it. This isn't a leak, it's a planned media announcement. That's not the sort of thing you end your conference with.

 

[op_ivy]

Christ. Another one? It's like Gears 3 is barely out of people's consoles yet.

literally.

1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
2. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
3. Call of Duty: Black Ops
4. FIFA 12
5. Battlefield 3
6. Halo: Reach
7. Modern Warfare 2
8. NBA 2K12
9. Skyrim
10. Gears of War 3

 

[cyborg009]

4 Halo games and 4 Gears of War games in 7 years. Not bad, not bad.

Hmm I just noticed that

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Very interested to see what it is :O.
Looks like a prequel indeed.

did not expect a new gears of war this quick though :O.

 

[Collider]

COG Wars.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

I'm surprised that this surprised people, it was hinted at almost half a year ago and that PCF would be doing it.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Also there was this CVG quote from November:

There's some other interesting quotes to add to that rumor, first from the creative director at PCF:

The game’s Creative Director Adrien Chmielarz added that the shelved sequel “was glorious”.

“The Bulletstorm sequel existed for a brief moment,” he said on Twitter this morning. “It was glorious. It exists no more.

“That doesn’t mean we’re unhappy at PCF. On the contrary. We’re working on [an] amazing new project. SOON.”

and one from Epic Games boss Eric Capps

“We found a project that we thought was a better fit for People Can Fly. We haven’t announced that yet, but we will be announcing it pretty soon,” Capps revealed.

 

[Jb]

Megaton. I'm wondering why everybody's blowing their load before E3 actually starts though.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Yeah, it is defintely a prequel, I always wanted an Emergence Day game.

That said I still think it is way too fucking soon. Hm. I hope it is different from the standard Gears games, a FPS would be really interesting.

Good thing about is that we will get a Gameinformer blowout after the presentation. Moar info!

Also:

Still, this would have been a cool 'wtf' style surprise.

 

[nel e nel]

It looks like a prequel, but probably something closer to emergence day rather than the pendelum wars. You can make out the flying reapers in the background.

Was just about to post this. Pendulum Wars was the CoG vs. UIR

 

[Kafel]

smells like Kinect


MS could have surprised us with this ...

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Haha, you have a point there.

They did eventually fix the problems with the PC version, but it was too little too late, by then word of mouth about the bugs had killed the PC port. I think one of the Epic guys (might've been CliffyB) mentioned that the poor sales of the PC version was part of the reasoning behind GeoW 2 and 3 not getting PC ports.

PS3/360 or just 360 again?

No chance in Hell this won't be 360 exclusive.

 

[BY2K]

It's the July cover, btw. Not August.

EDIT: Maybe not.

 

[Kusagari]

I hope if this does well, and people like what PCF brings to Gears, that Epic might take a chance on Bulletstorm 2.

 

[TheOddOne]

Doubt it. This isn't a leak, it's a planned media announcement. That's not the sort of thing you end your conference with.

You can say it's a teaser, seeing this is just the first game of the prequel series. Announcing three more games at the end, like the Halo games, is pretty big.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Shocking News: another GoW game for the 360.

That is a kinda terrible cover though, looks like it was put together in a couple of hours. "Throw some sparks in the bottom left. Darker, make it darker."

The cover is intentionally darkened to "hide" the details and faces of the characters until the full reveal on Monday. I don't think the picture is what the actual final cover of the issue looks like. It's hard to judge the cover until the final, full version is shown.

 

[LDawg]

That there would be a other Gears of War games wasn't a suprise. The suprise is that it is coming so fast after Gears 3.
This sure does blow away any rumours about the next Xbox being anounced this E3.

 

[Fabrik]

wow..ANOTHER gears of war...way to go microsoft..way to go....

damn next generation i'll stay with sony -_-

I'll try to avoid Microsoft next-gen too if I can. I'm obviously not their target audience. Yuck. Hope Sony is competitive this time from the get-go.

 

[Mxrz]

Oh. They mean Unreal engine 4 then?

Well played, GI.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

Whoa out of no where!

 

[Yager]

Wasn't expecting that. I mean, I was sure that they were going to make another one, but not so soon.

 

[Barry Burton]

People are really surprised by this?

 

[grindamasta]

Another? I haven't played Gears of War 3 yet lol

 

[Elginer]

Nice to see Microsoft still has a few stuff for core gamers coming first party. I also expect another reveal at their E3 con. Consider me already pleased. Halo 4 and new Gears plus new IP is alright with me mixed with some third party goodness.

 

[FStop7]

4 Halo games and 4 Gears of War games in 7 years. Not bad, not bad.

5?

Halo 3 2007
Halo Wars 2009
Halo 3: ODST 2009
Halo: Reach 2010
Halo 4 2012

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

People are really surprised by this?

This soon? yes.

also, it should have been saved as a surprise during e3

 

[SunhiLegend]

2006: Gears of War
2007: Halo 3
2008: Gears of War 2
2009: Halo ODST
2010: Halo Reach
2011: Gears of War 3
2012: Halo 4
2013: Gears of War?

There's always an Halo or Gears of War game coming out for the xbox 360 the last 6 years or so. With Halo 4 coming out this year I kind of expected another Gears of War game next year.

also, it should have been saved as a surprise during e3

Defintely, would have made a bigger impact if it was first revealed at E3.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

SHOCKER: Actually a RTS, coming to Kinect THIS YEAR

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

If they are Kinecting this shit, count me
The fuck out. If not, well I love me some Gears!

 

[Black_Stride]

When i first glimpsed this cover i was thinking to myself "Pendulum Wars" and i squealed YES!!!!!!
Then i saw the reaver in the background FUCK!......still gonna buy this, but i was really praying for Pendulum Wars.....the potential i saw during the RAAM expansion made me hope we would get a Gears of War game with the architecture still intact.

Maybe its a few months before Gears of War so the lead up to Marcus getting court-martialled?
