Epic Games Open to Gears of War on Next Generation Consoles

"Gears of War has been one of the top franchise this generation. Epic Games, the developers behind this franchise basically re-invented the third person shooter genre with their pop in and out cover-shoot mechanics. With three commercially and critically hit games in the series, Epic Games are all set to release Gears of War: Judgement, a game which focuses on Cole and Baird instead of the series protagonist Marcus Fenix."

[GalacticEmpire]

It would be a megaton x9000 if they finally bring the series to the Playstation platform, can't wait for E3.

Wonder what Gears would look like on PS4? GeOW1 was the first game that felt 'next-gen' (this gen) for me, can Epic step up and create that feeling again?

@disagrees Are you saying Gears 1 didn't feel next gen or that it wouldn't be a big deal if it went multi-plat?

[Abash]

This series needs a break for a few years, as it is I own all three Gears but cant get excited for Gears: Judgement in the slightest

[MikeMyers]

I'd like to see a new ip as well.

[Mikefizzled]

Has everyone forgotten about Fortnite or something?

[Trenta27]

That and the Assassin's Creed series. Both just need to chill for awhile.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

There's allot of games that need to take a back seat next gen. And I gotta say Gears is definitely one of them.

[ThanatosDMC]

Fortnite's become a shooter though. Check the youtube vids with Cliff and that lady plus their demo.

[gta2800]

I have Gears of War for PC. Was never able to bring my self to finish the game though...I think a lot of us will be fine if it doesn't come to the Playstation. I kinda wish I could get into it though. The fact that I have no interest in Gears or Halo is the only reason why I don't own an Xbox.

[eferreira]

You're right, I enjoyed the first two but the third seemed stale. No huge wtf moments.

[esemce]

I've finished gears Judgement, it's decent but really not as good as the other 3, It felt more like an expansion pack DLC.

[Adexus]

I think people disagreed because you mentioned it going multi-platform which will never happen, Microsoft own the IP.

[GalacticEmpire]

Rein: Epic “owns” Gears IP, “can do what we want with it”

http://www.vg247.com/2010/0...

@below :) yup it's entirely possible to bring the whole series to Playstation or even Wii U if they wish.

[Adexus]

That's news to me!

[jimbobwahey]

Since I'm considering going PlayStation-only next gen, I'd really like to see Gears of War go multiplatform. I'd also like to see them remove the retro lancer and sawn-off from the game as well but I suspect that would be wishful thinking.

Gears 1 was amazing. Gears 2 was a complete disaster. Gears 3 was fantastic except for the dumb new weapons that ruined the balance of the game. Gears Judgement looks utter garbage.

Very inconsistent franchise for sure, but it has its charms...

[MikeMyers]

They don't own the ip but like the relationship they have with Microsoft. I think there's something more to it than that and Microsoft probably gives them incentives for keeping it to the Xbox 360. If it does come to next gen consoles it should be on other platforms besides the Xbox.

Microsoft obviously had some input since the PC often got neglected too and Epic are more of a PC supporter. This is another sign that Microsoft needs to start investing in their own ip's instead of trying to control 3rd party content and withhold DLC and full games in favor of timed exclusives.

[TitanUp]

i got a lot of disagrees for the same thing a few weeks ago lol.

[Kingdom Come]

@ GalacticEmpire

Yes, but Microsoft claimed on the announcement of "Gears of War 3" that they already had plan's for the future of the franchise.

Soon before "Gears of War: Judgment" was announced, rumours circulated stating "People Can Fly" where developing a "Gears of War" trilogy.

Also, lets not forget that screens for a "Gears of War" RTS being exclusively designed for Xbox were leaked and the game is rumoured to be in development for the Next Xbox...

Whether people choose to accept it or not, Microsoft aren't giving up Gears, and Epic realise that it'd be stupid to waste the resources developing the franchise for Sony consoles when their fan base is primarily on Xbox.

Sony fanboys have been circulating rumours of the Gears franchise since the release of the original, all they have achieved is sounding dillusional. If only the first game made it to PC, what are the chances of the franchise making it to Playstation?

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

MS even to cheap to buy gears IP!! But spend $50M in Gta4 dlc!! M$ is lame...

How do they let their biggest devs even have the possibility of going mutil-plat??

Bungie on ps4 and maybe gears?? Cool! I wouldn't mind slamming my back to a wall on ps4!

I played the first one on xbox and loved it! Just not enough games to want to buy xbox.

Played gears 3 multi-player at cousins apartmaent and man it kick ass(better than uncharted 3 multiplayer but uncharted has better single player). This is the only game I want on xbox.

[Cocozero]

Epic already said they would keep the franchise with Xbox because they appreciate what MS did for them (e.g marketing).

But considering Wada and Kojima where convinced to bring Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid to Xbox, if Sony can afford it I'm sure it could make the jump but I'm sure MS will pay to keep it exclusive unless they think they don't need it.

[Heavenly King]

so M$ will pay 120M to keep gears exclusive? LOL

[Cueil]

Microsoft and Epic have a "Strategic Partnership" and by that Microsoft pays Epic's overhead cost and Epic makes a ton of money without spending a ton of money... I don't think Epic would risk losing that kind of relationship to move the franchise over

[ZBlacktt]

That Rising game is a spin off and not part of the MGS series. No Snake means not real Metal Gear.

[princejb134]

is a gen to late to bring it to the PS platform
this series is good and all but i feel like it lost its appeal that it had on the first gears game

[LAZL0-Panaflex]

Correct. Gears 1 was and is awesome. Gears 2 campaign was good. Gears 3 campaign was too much like waterworld and mad max. I dont think gears will evergo multiplat simpily because it lost its appeal. Too many other games overshadow it. I think it would be a better move to go multiplat because it makes sense financially but they wont. I would bet money on it staying exclusive.

Its a shame i like the reconfigured ps controller. I plan on going ps4 and steambox this gen.

[MysticStrummer]

I could see them doing a Gears trilogy on PS3 or even PS4 eventually. It wouldn't interest me but I'm sure many would buy it.

[Kingdom Come]

It's not going to happen.

Epic were never restricted to Microsoft, but have often stated that with the Gears of War franchise, they feel no need to spread to other communities. They could have ported Gears 2 and 3 to the PC, but chose not to. Their fan base is primarily on the Xbox, and those of who are truly motivated on playing the franchise bought an Xbox. Marketing-wise, they couldn't do better than to pair with Microsoft, and Microsoft helped make Gears what it is today.

[GalacticEmpire]

Not only is it possible (see link in my comment above), it makes financial sense what with the installed base of both next gen consoles likely to be relatively small initially.

You seem almost terrified of this happening, the only reason I can think of for that is that you are a fanatical Xbox guy, am I right? In which case, screw your fanboyism I think all gamers should be able to enjoy this franchise!

[NateCole]

And Sony made GTA what it is today so what's your point?.

[Nathaniel_Drake]

You know this gen when the PS3 came out was a gen that they lost a lot of 3rd party exclusives, it goes both ways. And probably Sony releasing the PS4 early and people already hyped for it would make any developer want to go to that system.

Only having a few 1st party exclusives established next gen is going to bite MS in the butt. If they do start to create new IP's for next gen the new companies have to first establish themselves as being good and have a fan following, something Sony has been doing since PS one. They would allow a company nurture and grow and even if sales are low for a game if it's good they will keep at it whereas MS would not have any patients and scrap those game for low sales and tell them to either make a game that will sell or they will close the studio down
It's going to be hard for MS this time around not having the benefit of better third party exclusives because of hard to decipher hardware from the PS3 and a year head start

[omi25p]

Sony didn't make GTA it was on pc first made by rockstar.

Nice try though

[Why o why]

I think he said made it was it is today..... nice try yourself. . . . if you dont understand its like xbox made mass effect before it went multi and gears what they are today or sony making most of the ex exclusives turned multiplat games some were craving at gen start what they were today. If you've been a gamer long enough you'll know what I mean and him. Ill always associate gears with xbox like I do a whole heap of games with playstation whatever platform the games are released on.

[UnholyLight]

@GalacticEmpire

I game on Xbox 360 so I am gonna try and remember back but is Epic and Gears not a Microsoft exclusive franchise??

Maybe not a 1st party developer but is it not something that you could call a "2nd party developer" because they have a very strong relationship with Microsoft but are not exactly tied down to them??

[kupomogli]

They've already stated Gears is not a Microsoft owned IP as others have stated. They're also not a second party developer, they've released Unreal Tournament 3 and Bulletstorm on all platforms.

Most of Epic's money comes from their game engines rather than their games. They develop graphics engines for developers to create games on all systems.

[UnholyLight]

I don't even really know what a 2nd party dev would be but I just mean that Epic just has one of those relationships that would likely keep Gears near and dear to the Xbox only. That's me viewing it in an unbiased way. But of course, Mass Effect began on Xbox but did not stay so I see your point but I just can't really see Gears going multi plat any time soon.

[mistertwoturbo]

It will never go multiplatform because Microsoft owns the Gears of War IP. It's like you will never see God of War on a microsoft console.

With that said, Epic Games needs a new IP for the next consoles.

[MysticStrummer]

MS doesn't own Gears.

[mistertwoturbo]

Hmm well I'm an idiot. That's right, Epic are the ones that owns the IP. Microsoft just has the exclusive rights to it.

[SilentNegotiator]

Microsoft is not giving up exclusivity to the IP any time soon.

[xtremeimport]

I own all 3 of these games. But I am struggling to enjoy just finishing the 1st game. I'm not sure that it can offer a lot in the next generation. Its just gonna start being the same game over and over.

really want to like these games, so please dont think just because I dislike them is why I don't think they'll last. I just don't think they're my type of game.

[joab777]

It will be interesting to see how these juugernaut ips r used next gen. Halo was a crossover, but this gen saw many huge new ips that were very successful. How ell will cod fare? Can Respawn's new game be one of the first new ips that chanhes gaming? Destiny will be very big. Watch dogs looks exciting. But, the economy is bad and new consoles r a risky endeavor. We were shown killzone and infamous already. Many older ips may be leaned on for revenue early on. I am patient though, as long as Irrational gets to work on next gen Bioshock starting April 1st...lol.

[talisker]

I think it wouldn't pay off. For example, I'm not interested in buying any more Gears games after those 3 I played. Their mechanics in now really old and boring.

[MYSTERIO360]

Theres a slight chance Gears may come on the PS4. Epic games did say the PS4 was an ''ideal next gen platform''. http://www.pixelenemy.com/e...

[SlavisH2]

of course there will be a next gen gears. Just like there will be GTA, MGS, Halo, Uncharted, COD, AC,...

[BanBrother]

Yes but Gears is an Xbox exclusive silly. That is why there are never any positive comments about it on THIS site and why it isn't allowed to have another game but any other franchise is.

[HammadTheBeast]

No it's just a bad game overall now, and they keep screwing it up. If you're going to be quality sequels, go for it.

[BanBrother]

@Hammad

Your point has no merit.

Gears 1: 94 meta
Gears 2: 93 meta
Gears 3: 91 meta

Gears Judgment isn't even out yet, so I will reserve judgement. You can't call a game bad when it isn't even out yet, that is just idiotic beyond belief.

Also, there is the fact that you are never to warm to anything MS or Xbox related... so go away.

[Hydralysk]

@BanBrother

I'm not a fan of Gears for many reasons, art design and story mostly, though I do respect that it pioneered third person cover mechanics, but it's not a terrible game by any means.

That said while I don't think gears is a bad game, you really shouldn't try to use metacritic scores as proof of a games quality. For example, Fallout 3 has a way higher metacritic score than NV despite most people I talk to prefering NV.

[Wingsfan24]

@Kratos

You call 94-91 a decline? Wow. That's like, about as steady of a percentile rating I've seen for a trilogy.

[GraveLord]

Gears needs a rest. If they do bring it over to next-gen it needs to have new characters and everything. Gameplay also needs a next-gen flavor.

[Monstar]

Halo needs a rest...gears doesn't. No other 3rd person shooter plays like gears of war. Judgement is a fresh outake for the series...the one for next gen is surely to change. Don't like it...DON'T PLAY IT.

[Clarence]

I think M$ would pay epic a lot of money to remain exclusive.

[DonFreezer]

Just like Sony pays japanese developers to keep most jrpgs this days.

[princeofthabay]

I don't think Sony has to pay Japanese developers anything seeing as Xbox says like 400 a week in Japan, and it wouldn't make since to make a port that won't sell very well.

[gnothe1]

To those that's saying gears needs a break..I guess you feel the same way about uncharted or resistance an kill zone...neither of those games have the fallowing,appeal or sales of GEARS but yet you feel it's trash an needs a break..wow...you people are unbelievable...you won't see gears on playstation just like L4D...so if you don't like the game.thats fine but there's plenty of us that excited for the games release.

[DigitalRaptor]

What's wrong with saying it needs a break? Games like Call of Duty also need breaks at the rate in which they release. Gears of War series will have had 4 games on a single platform when Judgement comes out, and that game looks mediocre by comparison to the rest of the series which i actually enjoyed somewhat. The series reached its peak at GeoW 3, there's no need for Judgment as i doubt it will serve the series well, whether you're looking to get your Gears fix or not.

and yes Uncharted has comparable market penetration and following, and yes it is more awarded and scored across the industry. It also has more varied gameplay.

Gears of War is one of the very few Xbox defining exclusives that Microsoft actually promotes. Some people think it's trash, so what?

And Left 4 Dead came at a time when Valve were unhappy with Sony's PS3. since then, Valve have brought Portal2 and Counter Strike GO, to PS3 and future games including L4D will come to PlayStation .

Future Gears of War probably won't come to PlayStation but, there's still a slight chance they will and Epic have stated their positivity about PS4 AND Vita .

[Jek_Porkins]

Some people speculate that Cliffy B left Epic because he didn't want to work on the Gears series for the next decade, and that Microsoft already paid to keep Gears coming. I have a feeling they already have the next chapter mapped out in the Gears universe, and considering Microsoft's deep pockets I doubt they'd let it go to a competing platform.

Mike Capps who is the president of Epic said Gears will never be on a PlayStation console, so take it for what it's worth.

[porkChop]

Mike Capps left Epic as well, and Rod Ferguson. During the past year Epic has lost quite a few good people at both Epic and PCF. Something's definitely going on over there.

[Jek_Porkins]

He's still on the board of directors. They could have very well wanted to make something new and a new contract with Microsoft would have really limited their creativity.

Don't kid yourself into thinking Microsoft wouldn't do what it takes to keep Gears exclusive, I mean they have a prime time show tonight on Fox dedicated to Judgment.

[clintagious650]

That would be great for those who dont own a 360 but that would suck for MS seeing that this is a franchise that made me buy a 360. If they lose this, im afraid kinect will be also the nextbox is main focus. Lets hope not but a phat check should shut them up.

[jc48573]

I hate when there's a game where it has only been in one console for all its eternity and suddenly it becomes multiplatform to another console where gamers there probably have lost absolute interest towards the series or not have the slightest intention of getting into the series that they know for sure they won't like. If it was a established multiplatform series, then I wouldn't mind, but I think it's best they stayed in one console for the sole purpose of maintaining that quality control.

[NateCole]

lol!. When PS exclusives go multiplat it makes financial sense but when xbox exclusive goes multiplat it does not make any financial sense right xbox fans?.

xbox fans are so protective of their precious gears that they rather ms pay to keep it exclusive than using that money to create a new ip.

I know Killswitch didn't sell all that well, but c'mon...

[Relientk77]

Kill.Switch is probably the most underrated shooter of the PS2, GameCube, Xbox Era if you ask me. Frickin loved that game.

[wenaldy]

And before Kill.Switch, there was Winback Project.

[JoySticksFTW]

Seriously, no one ever remembers Winback in this discussion

[Minato-Namikaze]

I loved winback (the n64 one....not poseidon, lol)

[xPhearR3dx]

There's a reason it says "re-invent". No one said Gears invented anything. Killswitch & Windback are irreverent. Why? Because they didn't do anything to spark the genre. Yes, they had a cover system first, but they didn't get it right. Gears got it right, and got it right very well.

[Monstar]

dumbarse.

Gears popularized and reinvented such a cover system. Doesn't feel NOR control like killswitch, instead epic games used a bases from that game and perfected it. When killswitch debuted, no one mentioned nor credited the cover system. So STFU.

[GABRIEL1030]

Gears of War is TNT in XBOX 360, the story is amazing and the characters are great with a tons of personality, Marcus, Baird, Cole, Camine and Dom( RIP) are the best squad characters ever created. But the game is overexploited, the history was closed with the destruction of the Locus. The last GOW Judgment is OK because is a retrospective of the history, but for a new generation Microsoft must create a new IP or almost a new history with new enemies in a future era's Sera.

[tigertron]

One of the reasons I bought a 360 was for Gears, but I'd be over the moon if Gears came to the PS4. Make it happen Epic.

*Counts down days until Judgment*

[Relientk77]

I would definitely prefer another Unreal Tournament or new IP

[InTheLab]

They crankd out 4 this gen...so whats stopping them from cranking out another 4

[Sh0ckWav3]

wow gears need a rest? i think these games need a real rest.. mgs, all mario,zelda ,pokiman,killzone ,uncharted ,sonic,need for speed,bf,cod...

[kickerz]

I love gears too, but I think next gen if they plan to keep making more of them they should really change everything. Keep the main characters and the duck n cover thing, but make all new alien enemy's maybe that use magic or something else. Maybe instead of protecting earth the gears crew could travel to different worlds exploring n sh:t. Just some ideas.

[Shadonic]

ide reather have fortnight or something else new

[DivineAssault]

The world doesnt need another Gears of War game.. Bring something new to the table!

[CC-Tron]

Yeah. Same goes for God of War right?

[DivineAssault]

Well GOW stared on PS2 & PS3 has only had 1 GOW game made for it & 1 more coming.. It's not the 4th game in the same gen.. Uncharted would be a better argument however that's prolly ending with the 3rd installment this gen & will prolly move on to PS4 when the 4th drops.. Naughty Dog is bringing ANOTHER new killer IP to the table this gen too (Last of Us).. Where's Epics 2nd AAA exclusive for the 360?

Look here jr, if u wanna troll my comments, u have to come @ me better than that lol.. The 4th gears game in the same gen is ridiculous! Jus like AC series, it's way too much..

[Minato-Namikaze]

Like beyond: Two Souls or Last of US

[CC-Tron]

So is that all you got? A lame double standard. Oh it doesn't count because it's not the same PS console. Says you. Prettier graphics, new story, slight change in gameplay and that's it. Same as Gears and countless other games. The point still stands fanboy. 3 Uncharteds is OK but 4? No, no that's just too much. GTFO.

[KillrateOmega]

Judging by the number of Disagrees you've got in this comment string compared to your Agrees, I think it's you who needs to GTFO...

[FrigidDARKNESS]

This game should always remain exclusive to the xbox brand.

[arbitor365]

i have nothing against gears of war, but its universe is not interesting enough to merit more games. it really isnt. just move on to something else.

[KontryBoy706]

Who didn't see this coming? They have no choice that's one of 3 of microsofts IP's. I was just hoping this wouldn't be the case but we see now it is...

[baraka007]

ok so we got gears but what about halo 567 and 8 and 9?

[GamingWorldPeace]

I would love to see Gears on my future PS4. AS I recalled, Epic said in order to properly run UE4, 2 TFLOPS is optimal and the PS4 with its 1.86 TFLOPS processor will makr the game shine. It will certainly performs better than the supposed 1.2 TFLOPS processor of the Xbox 720. I have no reason to get 2 consoles if Gears is on the PS4.

[LAZL0-Panaflex]

Which is why gears wont come to ps4. Noone would have to buy xboxs.

Which is why im getting steambox and ps4. Steam for all the old crysis games and steam games that were better than ps3 and 360, and of course im getting ps4,...killzone, infamous (my two favorites), then all of the other exclusives by sony, 8 gigs of ram, CROSSGAME CHAT, xbox type headset, bigger control = i dont need the new xbox, halo....dont need it,....forza ...good but dont play it much......gears will miss but not for $400.

But if ps4 or steambox releases a gears collection,....yes i would buy it.

[SOULJER]

Milk it till the cookies taste sour.

[RuleofOne343]

MS must resolve this quickly , I don't care if Epic wants to become more MP oriented but Gears of War franchise ,Shadow Complex franchise must remain XBOX Exclusive no matter what .

[GamingWorldPeace]

Not just Gears, but also Alan Wake. If MSFT looses both of those titles, then it is pretty much game ova for them.

[RuleofOne343]

I just hope they put a stop to this crazy crap about support a game & then let it go else where. Like what happened with the Mass Effect franchise, they need to keep those that they invest in real close.

[strigoi814]

i will be more excited to see a new IP from Epic Games but not Gears of War on multiplat.

[urwifeminder]

Sweet more gears is welcome for me.

[Bumpmapping]

Another one bits the dust....not very surprised if this does turn up multiplatform.I was actually thinking about this the other day I got that weird feeling same when Square Enix announced FF13 for the 360.M$ does have deep pockets so anything is possible considering how this generation turned out.

[triplev16]

It's hard for me to get excited for another Gears on 360. But Gears running on Unreal 4 next gen stokes the flames.

I really don't believe Microsoft would let this franchise go however (for those speculating a multiplatform release). Would be a huge bomb if dropped thats for sure.

[worldwidegaming]

They should have stopped at 3.
No one wants to take chances these days starting a new IP.
(Players want the old storys and companies will continue giving it to them.)

[alb1899]

correct me if i'm wrong but how bad can be a game that is 9.2 and up and sales more than uncharted an god of war......come on!
Gears is one of the games that i have more enjoy to play on line with my friends and in the next Gen it will be a bomb!
Dont be so fanboy!!

[DFresh]

Forget Gears of War bring back Unreal Tournament to its full glory again on PC/PS4/Xbox 720.

[NewZealander]

if ppl think gears needs to take a rest then so does killzone, uncharted, god of war, Halo, Fable, forza, COD, AC, Mass effect but why would they stop making games that make them money, think if it was your money maker would you stop making it in the risk to try and make a new game that could fail? I know what I would do :)

[Rayko]

How COD games can be more popular than HALO and Gears is for me a big question. Me, myself hate shooters but HALO and Gears were the only ones that were interesting and multiplayer is great!

[Ragthorn]

The Gears of War series would be great going multi-platform, I have all 3, and they were fantastic(except for Gears 2 Multiplayer, when I lost all my stats from a bug, and had to restart my whole progression for achievement progress, campaign progress, and multiplayer progress). To bring the Gears franchise to other systems would totally make my day, but they also have to take a break from it for like a few years, then come out of the blue during the prime of next gen consoles.

[SonyAddict]

Its a sad day for Xbox fans!,I hope this franchise dies!.

[BIGBOSS08]

i think it should and will stay on xbox. playstation has plently of exclusives. xbox needs gears of war.

[Karum]

Of course they're open to bringing it to next gen, the franchise is a massive cash cow and fans are clearly open to playing more Gears games. I know I am, they're fun.

[fsfsxii]

More rehashes to come.

[Jek_Porkins]

If anyone watched the Gears Judgment reveal last night, they will know that this game looks amazing, with many great innovations. It's a game for the fans of the series and I was a little skeptical until I saw the reveal last night, apparently Twitter was equally impressed because GearsJudgment was trending number 1 world wide last night!

It's going to be a great way to send out the franchise on the Xbox 360! Really looking forward to where they take it on the 720 next generation!

[BabyTownFrolics]

i am looking forward to more gears games, I enjoy playing through the campaigns with my friends.
