In January of last year Microsoft purchased the Gears of War franchise from Epic for obvious reasons. Epic has bigger fish to fry and Microsoft still needs another heavy hitter to pose a threat to Sony. According to reports, the game is coming along smoothly since hiring the laid off staff from Sony Santa Monica (God of War) and Irrational Games (Bioshock Infinite) and adding those combined workers with Black Tusk Studios who failed to launch their debut new IP. Now that the team is pretty much an allstar team helmed by Rod Fergusson. I think E3 will be the time that they reveal a cinematic with a specific year for the games debut for the next gen. Last gen they put Gears of War on a two year cycle of development launching after Halo and vice versa until the generation was complete. I believe it will be no different for Gears of War and the Xbox this generation.

Yeah I fully expect a Gears of War 4* trailer to be shown. Maybe along with a Gears of War Collection too?

Gears of War HD? I could get behind that idea! Horde mode!

Oh I hope so, Gears is one of my favorite franchises.

That would be amazing. It's been a while since the last numerical GoW so I'm exited.

No, I want to see it in motion before anything else.

A cinematic would be like, "oh, yeah, thank you Microsoft for reminding me that the game exists". And also, the horrible debate that trailer would generate. Everyone would be arguing whether if the footage was in real time or not.

Gears of war collection in 2015, Gears of War 4 in 2016 with Hololens support.

I'm pretty sure it will get a proper E3 treatment, with an announcement of a PC version as well.

I think they are going to try and launch that with Minecraft. If they get that to launch with Gears that might turn some heads. I don't know though. Hopefully Microsoft sells that better than they sold the Kinect. Gears would be a good game to use pending it has proper support for an Xbox One controller.

Yep. My favorite Xbox franchise for certain.
