Official Thread Gears 4 **NO SPOILERS**

I'm sure many are happy with the job security this brings when trusted with a major franchise.
 
I sure wish "The Coalition" didn't make me think of work farmed out to a bunch of second-rate studios....
 
Meh. Who cares about a name change. If it makes them feel better so be it. More importantly is this:

Speaking of Gears of War, we're getting close to E3, where we will share more on what's next for Gears of War.
 
Seems like that is the norm for Microsoft. Lion Head only makes Fable, Turn 10 only makes Forza, 343 only makes Halo, Coalition only makes Gears of War, Rare only makes crap.

i may be wrong, but wasnt lion head working on another ip. or is that another euro developer under the ms umbrella?
 
This is good for the Gears franchise. A dedicated studio working on the Gears universe is the way to go.
 
Another perfect example why I wont support Microsoft's Xbox brand. Yuck.

Stop wasting your time with pointless name changes-- a name will not mean jack with a crap game--and get to finishing the game.

How many resources do you think Black Tusk used up to change their name? Or, to ask in another way, how many months will their next game be delayed because they've changed their name?

Seriously, lol.

How many times do you need to see sarcasm before you understand the concept.
 
Seriously, lol.

I've said it once, I'll say it again.

Microsoft's Xbox brand is targeted directly at the 12 - 15 year old demographic.
Sony's PS brand has always targeted a more mature consumer. How much more is debatable.

Microsoft, who has a notoriously bad track record managing their studio's has just locked in a studio, potentially filled with talent, into creating games for a garish, boring franchise like Gears of War.

Do we forget so soon that Black Tusk was working on this before Microsoft decided to force them unto Gears?

I can't support that direction.

'll take Gears over this 2 minute CGI clip.

You certainly couldn't infer that from looking at, say, the Internet.
 
And Sony's PlayStation brand is targeted directly at the 11-14 year old demographic. Not sure what your point is?

No. Their games have always targeted an older crowd.

Black Tusk could have helped MS in this area by creating an interesting IP that targeted older gamers. Instead they get sent to the Gears franchise.
 
No. Sony's games have always targeted a younger crowd.

I'm having this problem in the NBA thread. You can't expect to have a meaningful conversation with someone when one party ignores obvious facts. You're just trolling then.

More like the millionth time.

So, still a few years to go before the Xbox is in your age range.

Yep, MS are so bad with their multimillion selling first party stable.

No, you can not suppoert this direction. You are perfectly fine with Sony's HD port direction though:txbrolleyes:
