Rumor Has It That Next Gears of War Will Have a Playable Female Character

Speaking with '1 vs. 100 LIVE' host Chris Cashman, Epic Games' designer Cliff Bleszinski hinted that the next entry in the 'Gears of War' series will have a female protagonist -- specifically the one featured in one of Jim Lee's cover art for the 'Gears of War' comic.

If this will be for the main series I hope it will be a "bonus" mission that is optional from the main game. Similar to the recent episode released for Gears of War 2.

A spin off game could also be cool,

Blaze9295473d ago

well surprise. No ****

/sarcasm

Anyway I suspect she'll play like all the other characters and just be that, a character. Nothing special, nothing to be excited over besides just having a new character. But maybe thats me.

This lady qualifies for Gears of War.

JokesOnYou5473d ago (Edited 5473d ago )

I think it would be cool if this new chick used two auto pistols, and her other weapon was a ninja sword, if they balanced the gameplay right although she doesn't pack alot of firepower from long distance, should would be a bit quicker so her advantage would be taking pop-shots from distance and running from cover to cover to get up close where she'd be deadly enough to take your head off...and she would revive teamates with a kiss, OK I'm j/k, lmfao it was just a thought.

JOY

Jaces5473d ago

Hopefully she won't be as annoying as the "Cole Train".

Jeeze..

el zorro5473d ago (Edited 5473d ago )

As long as she has a nice *ss that I can look at from that nice 3rd person view... ha, ha /jk

No but seriously, I think it would be nice to have a female character. Especially if she is a bad *ss like Private Vasquez in the Aliens movie. A character like that would be pretty cool.

Jaces5473d ago

really, 4 disagrees.

Wow, didn't know Cole had so many fans. =P

CaptainKratos5472d ago

Yeah that would be cool, you meet half way through the game and you'll be all "what are you doing here?" and she'll be all "i have a sword! throw me so i can slice the enemy in two!!!" :/ oh wait never mind that's Quantum.lol.

EVILDEAD3605472d ago

Wipe your mouth out with soap. Cole train is the -ish! In fact, I'll take Cole Train in Gears over any supporting character in Killzone 2.

Female character would be an awesome add for Gear 3.

Coolest Gears character ever : TAI!!!!

Tony P5472d ago

I read the comic and she's a cool character imo. Bit of a dark past and a daredevil type of soldier. A lot like BSG's Starbuck/Kara Thrace first glance.

I dunno if she should be a main character, but it would definitely be worth it to see her in action.

PirateThom5472d ago (Edited 5472d ago )

That's funny, since Cole is basically the same character as Rico who is basically stock "black marine in a sci-fi movie". Neither character is interesting, they just shout a lot which highlights the problem with non-white characters in video games, they're all cliches that have existed in movies for years. Rico was still a few years before Cole though.

badz1495472d ago

both gears and quantum will have a female character! but in gears, she'll be playable like sheva in RE5

PirateThom5472d ago

The female character, Fillena, is playable in Quantum as well.

I can see her being impossible to shoot at compared to the playable male characters.. If they suit her up just the same then cool, but if she's in some sort of skin tight armor outfit then... yeah. She'll be the most evasive thing going! It would be a welcomed addition though.

The Matrix5472d ago

Pretty sure it won't. Can you imagine the outrage of a FEMALE character getting blown to bits, have her head smashed off and torso ripped apart by a shotgun. Not to mention the fact that people would go crazy when she got downed and do some...non-kosher things.

LordMarius5473d ago

This will make all their fans shy away
hinty hint hint

KILL-ALL-CURE5472d ago

THis will totally ruin the game, because one, skinny girls fighting off 300 hundred pound locusts with a machine gun and gear that probablly weights more than they do, and two, bots only like dirty, muscular men.

Atomic5473d ago

Female on roid? , no thanks.

dachiefsman5473d ago

it doesn't make sense, and doesn't seem like it would even fit.

But I have been wrong before.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756193d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00193d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic193d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica193d ago (Edited 193d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing194d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic193d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos194d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin194d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris194d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine193d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz194d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.
