"There's a lot of life left" in Gears of War, says Microsoft

"'I'm a huge fan of the franchise,' Spencer said. 'I want to continue to work with Gears. I think there's a lot of life left in that franchise. We had an internal discussion on it even yesterday. It's something that's active in discussion about what we can do with Gears.'"

Seems like they don't even know what they want with the series

Gazondaily3854d ago

I think the formula got stale at Gears 3. They need to, somehow, do something fresh with the franchise for it to be appealing. I don't think better visuals alone will cut it.

I thought they tied up the series well with Gears 3. Too many times you are left wondering what happened in some games, because they want to leave it open for more sequels. This tidied up the story, but I do believe, right now, they do not know where to go with this, but the game universe looks awesome still.

Sayai jin3853d ago

@Septic - Agreed. Honestly, the campaign got stale after Gears 2. I mainly play the MP with friends and that's what most of us really play for now.

You're right!

Spencer a month ago:
"I think Gears ran it's course on 360"

***Fans show some interest***

Spencer now:
"There's a lot of life left in Gears"

smdh :o|

"on 360" welcome to Xbox One

3-4-53853d ago

This time around....watch them use 30 colors instead of 20.

wtopez3854d ago

Hopefully that life will extend to other systems.

Hellsvacancy3854d ago

Hopefully it won't, new ips please

Kayant3854d ago

Hmmmm but not for at least another 1-2 yrs Gears:J left a somewhat bad taste in most people's mouth & seeing as so many people who made Gears what it is have left Epic it's kinda hard to trust them on Gears.

Anyway am looking forward to see what Epic have in the bag as it looks like they're going to be making a multi-plat title.

SniperControl3854d ago

GoW was my fave IP on 360, if it does come out on X1, it will be the only reason for me personally to buy a X1.
If it goes multiplat, then i will just stick it out on PS4.

The Meerkat3854d ago

Same here.
GOW3 was probably my favourite game of the last 5 years. GOWJ was just OK single player and terrible MP.

But I can't see where the story can go.
The Locust are all dead, as are the Lambent.
A prequel wouldn't work without the Locust.

SirBradders3853d ago

They could evolve the series and have two factions prying for the remains of the planet and one faction seeks to genetcially engineer a locust army etc... see where i am going with this and i played 5 mins of gears 2 i think and didn't like it.

It's not hard to create new stories and evolve lore.

Sarcasm3853d ago

Same here. I will swallow my pride of buying overpriced underpowered hardware to just play that game.

Gabenbrah3854d ago

Gears of War isn't Halo, there isn't this huge lore and universe to explore in it. I honestly don't know what else they could do with Gears, but it needs a break that's for sure. E3 2015 you show Gears of War 4, then I'll be excited.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5122d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905122d ago (Edited 5122d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5122d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5122d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495122d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5122d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5122d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
