| Cross-X said: lol. All Rein said was that a Gears of War Style game would be fitting to see on the NGP and it obviously doesnt fuckin mean that Epic games are making Gears of War for NGP. It means they're probably developing a great Third Person Shooter for the NGP.
And I really dont care but if you really want to be picky about who owns what shit, here: Epic’s Mark Rein has said that the developer owns the Gears of War IP, and can do with it what it pleases.
Speaking with VG247 at GDC last week, we asked Rein to clarify for some of the more paranoid out there, whether or not Microsoft had some nefarious hand in the developer’s cookie jar. Turns out, that’s not the case as some mistakenly believe. Epic can, and do choose whatever publisher it wishes for the games it creates. “We own Gears of War. We can do what we want with it,” Rein told us. “We have a great relationship with Microsoft, and they helped turn the game into a huge success for us, and we are pretty happy with the way things are going”. http://www.vg247.com/2010/03/15/rein-epic-owns-gears-ip-can-do-what-we-want-with-it/
I'm not trying to imply that MS own shit or Gears of War is gonna go Multiplat but I'm sure Rein isn't gonna lie about who owns IPs and what not. |
If Epic really owned Gears, we would've seen Gears 2 on PC right now and Gears on Mac. At the very least we would've seen a Gears spin off on PS3, PSP, Wii, iphone, DS or whatever. ME came out on iphone before it was announced for PS3 so everyone knew it was possible for it to go multiplat.
