There's no way in hell Gears of War comes to NGP. MS probably owns part of the IP trademark. I repeat, you'll never see a Gears of War game on NGP. You can quote me on that. The best you can hope for is a new IP/Bulletstorm/UT because I think MS probably owns part of Shadow Complex as well.  


They didn't say Gears of War would be on NGP, but rather that a Gears of War-style game would work well on the system.  Basically, NGP can handle third person shooters.

And Gears of War is wholly owned by Epic Games.

Gears style game? Sure, that's why I said new IP.

Type www.gearsofwar.com in your browser and tell me where that redirects you to.

this isn't even a question anymore, Mark came out and directly answered this question -- MS doesn't have any right to gears of war.

Some interesting news to bring you involving the future of the Gears of War franchise now, as Epic’s Mark Rein has stated that they, not Microsoft, own the rights to the GoW IP – adding that they are free to ‘do what they want with it’
