Microsoft Uncovers Next Gears Of War
Teaser art over at Game Informer suggests that the game is set before the events of Gears of War 3, with Locust Reavers clearly visible in the background.
In the foreground: a chap in glowing blue handcuffs, flanked by COG soldiers. All very mysterious. Expect more details at Microsoft's E3 conference next week.
oping its a prequel to the whole series, showcasing The Battle of Aspho Fields...which leads up to the imprisonment of Marcus Fenix, would would explain why there is a COG in handcuffs/shackles
Not surprised to see another GoW game, MS would not want to lose one of its biggest exclusive franchises, especially with HALO now getting its reboot and the real prospect of the next Microsoft Microsoft Xbox 360 Battles To Integrate Skype coming sooner rather then later
If anything, I sense its a launch title for the next Xbox, something that alongside all the game delays to 2013, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite for example, could well be used as a launch line up for the next Xbox.
Pretty much this... I've nothing against Gears and quite enjoy it, but with shooters at saturation point and the fact #3 was only out recently why don't they focus on some of the other franchises in their catalogue that have gone missing - new Crackdown/Viva Pinata anyone? Maybe they could do with Gears what they did with Halo Wars too, also a good alternative. Will wait and see what else is announced but like the Halo reboot i find i meet this news with more apathy than excitement...
