Official Thread Gears 4 **NO SPOILERS**

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

Are you referring to HD ports like The Last of Us and the Uncharted Collection?

Are you asking me if I support a small group of people, taking a small amount of time, to port over old games to new hardware that would help support the developer...

over

Forcing a brand new developer onto the Gears franchise for the next 10+ years?

Um, yes. I support Sony's HD port direction wholeheartedly.
 
That's neither here nor there.

The interesting point of conversation is whether or not you crave new IP over monolith franchises like Gears.

Everybody craves new Ips, and the xbox platform has plenty of new IPs not found on Playstation or Nintendo. I am sure your ignorance covers that little fact.

WRONG.

Dead wrong.

There comes a time in every child's life when he grows up to realize that he doesn't want to see the new Avengers/Jurassic Park/Thor/Spider Man movie. Usually, most grow out of that phase sometime in their later teen years or early 20's.

Microsoft doesn't care about that child once he grows up. Microsoft is more concerned with the child who only now realizes they want to see the new Avengers/Jurassic Park/Thor/Spider Man movie.

Do you understand now?

Edit: For those who are having trouble, replace Avengers/Jurassic Park/Thor/Spider Man with Halo/Gears of War/Tomb Raider/Forza

I understand you're stupid.

I also understand that you are intentionally trying to derail the thread with said stupidity, and you know what, I ain't helping you do it.

Okaaayyyy

Also, let's not start calling people stupid and such in here. Don't really think there's a place for it.

Gears of War, bitches. So psyched for this coming back. I have missed the series. The original trilogy dominated my gaming time over the whole of last-gen. Hope that continues in to this new- age:bang:
 
The game will be amazing..can't wait till E3 for some footage. I don't really care about the name change. I expect a lot of people will return to Xbox once this franchise returns. It's always been a damn fun experience for friends with its story coop and multiplayer. People on my list used to play Gears together till the next one arrives. You know which one of your friends has your back when sh*t really hits the fan in gameland..Gears is that game.

Don't know that I like that this is going to be a Gears mill (and no I am not opposed to more Gears, looking forward to it in fact. I am opposed to creative burnout caused by being chained to a single franchise in perpetuity. Have they learned nothing from losing Bungie?), but here is to hoping that they treat the franchise better than 343i has handled Halo.
 
You don't have burnout if you have people passionate about the franchise. They likely takes the form of natural employee turnover through the years. I'm sure there will be more Batman movies and I'm sure different people will be making them as time goes by. I can't say the Coalition name grabs me but I don't think that is what it's all about. I see a group of people trying to come together as a team and if a name change helps that process then so be it.

Maybe some group B time is needed for you again. Like old times.
 
There's no reason Coalition won't make other games besides Gears, just people in this thread saying they won't. All major studios have or want to have a bread-and-butter franchise like Gears. I would assume Microsoft wants all their in house studios to be major. The idea that either company soley targets a specific age bracket is ludicrous on the face of it, since gamers don't stay perpetually frozen in those brackets and they grow up with their consoles. Video games appeal to a broad spectrum of gamers of all ages and both companies cater to that same variegated market. To claim otherwise is petty fanboy nonsense.

I don't see how a generic Splinter Cell clone is more interesting than a new gen Gears. The visual interest alone smokes that lame, generic clip of a "new IP"

I might agree if they showed something more interesting. Still, I hope having a dedicated dev means a fantastic, focused effort. I can also mean we will get a deeper story and lore from the Gears Universe ala Halo.

They didn't show gameplay in that clip. The possibilities were close to endless there.

With Gears, we know we're just getting more Gears.

Oh come on. A spy in a black spandex suit, uses gadgets to sneak into a building. Modern military design. I'm not sure if it could have looked more generic without putting the words "Call of Duty" on it. Sorry no, I'm almost certain that game would not have been half as compelling as Gears. It will take something like that concept art from Guerrilla's new Dinotopia lookin' game or say, Scalebound's trailer to make me take it over a new Gears of War.

It definitely wasn't a modern military design. If anything it was a James Bond/Perfect Dark type setting.

I'll take that over a 5th Gears (blah) and day.

lol, sorry, near-future miltary design. That gif could have been ripped straight out of Splinter Cell. Even the setting. Repelling down a skyscraper with fireworks in the background, paramilitary body-guards kicked from a window entry.... inspired stuff there...
 
Poor phrasing.

You'll take Gears over a new IP.

Thanks but no thanks.
Lol it was just a concept, Phil Spencer said so, not a line of code was typed. Besides we get new IP from , Remedy got QB and Rare could be working on a new IP. Gears is one of the pillars of Xbox, makes sense for a dedicated studio to take it to the next gen.

Ssshh, don't tell Hard_Land this, but look at all the new Ips only on Xbox.

Sunset Overdrive
Titanfall
Project Spark
Scalebound
Quantum Break

No but the gameplay/story could have been new/inspired. Gears won't be.

Woah...You're like drowning in New IP there friend. That's 6 IP and the XBoxOne has been out for 19 months. Woooaaahhh.

That is actually very very good.

Shall we look at how many PS4 has?

Hellblade
Bloodbourne
Driveclub
Knack
The Order
Untill Dawn

:surprise::surprise:
 
Not unusual here, Plainview. However, I, myself, suffer the grievous arrows of fanboy nerdism in non gaming threads at even the mention of Xbox One. It's almost pathological.
 
Thread WAS about:

Black-Tusk-Studios-Rename.jpg


the_coalition.0.jpg


anyone remember that?

ITS MY f***ING THREAD!!!! Stay on topic.

So they go from lines pointing down to lines in a circle, perhaps the next step is lines in three dimensions creating a pyramid and maybe an Illuminati thing and OMG Gears - Deus Ex crossover CONFIRM!
 
Certain people do realize that Black Tusk has been the home for Gears for a while now right? That was happening regardless of the name. That's all this is, a name change more in line with their purpose.

Anyways, I'll just take a new Gears game.
