http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/27/5349954/microsoft-acquires-the-gears-of-war-franchise-from-epic-games

So that means no more GeoW games from Epic. Maybe they can finally start making a decent game now.











Yeah, right Reaction

What a tired franchise, this and Halo need to go away. I also call bullshit that Black Tusk's e3 presentation was never meant to be a game, why would you show it? They obv got the gears franchise and decided to scrap Black Tusks work and make them create the next gears game.

are you high? there is only 3 main gears games, and 1 side story gears game. so that's just 4 games total. in that timeframe there was like 8 CoD games...

just because you have irrational hatred towards Gears doesn't mean it's tired franchise.

I see nothing wrong, as long as you don't start claiming the franchise has a very good, deep intricate story and elaborate gameplay Laughing

They're just a thirteen-in-a-dozen games and I found 1+2 boring as hell, never tried the third.

i don't claim that, but was it some of the best coop fun i had last gen? hell yes.

i think ppl here hate gears because:

a) butthurt due to gears2-3 never making to pc

b) think of it as single player game when it's coop centric.

There may be only 3, but they all have the same exact setting/gameplay/weapons/enemies/mechanics/characters, with very little variation. Don't get me wrong, I played them all until now, but it IS tired, no doubt about it.

Gears 1 & 2 were really good. 3 wasn't so good but still enjoyable. Shit loads better than Halo imo.

so because COD has milked it more it means Gears isn't? If you love the game that's cool, but Microsoft has been promising new ip and they are going back on that promise as black tusk is dropping what they were doing to make this game.

Need to make the distinction between God of War and Gears of War. God came 18 months before Gears, so that gets the short one.
