Gears is finished for this gen and their exclusivity contract with Microsoft is up, so on that third party exclusivity is over until they say otherwise.

They've said otherwise. Gears is carrying on, much to your disappointment i'm sure. I'm also not sure what kinda garbage you're referring to with an exclusivity contract. No such thing exists. Epic is not a publisher, they can't release console games without a publisher which happens to be Microsoft and they helped Gears of War 3 sell more copies in a fortnight then Sonys biggest IP could in all of 2010.

Halo 4 for this year as a whole in the year of 2012. On the other hand I'll be enjoying Sly 4 and new experiences Starhawk, Dust 514, Twisted Metal, TLG

Well scrub Dust, you can get that on Vitaso it's not exclusive and TLG still doesn't have a release date.  Although this is what i'm talking about.

You're saying:

Starhawk, , Twisted Metal, Sly 4 (none of which are new IP's )  are more appealing to you then Halo 4. And thats fine in your own personal views, if thats what you like.

Whereas the truth is - new studio or not - Halo 4 will appeal to a greater mass then all of the above combined and tripled.

You're Brett Ratner taunting James Cameron.


1. I said Gears is finished for this gen, not finished for good. The exclusivity contract is up plain and simple, that is what is confirmed and I never said anything outside of what I've read. Secondly, how could I be disappointed? The more games for the 360 the better. Third of all, Microsoft isn't Epics first publisher and they certainly wont be the last. As of late they've been talking about wanting to focus on PC games, but Bleszinski has stated that another Gears could be in the cards. They however, own the Gears IP and can do whatever the hell they want with it. Its out of Microsofts hands.

2. How is Dust being on the Vita suddenly make it not exclusive? Starhawk and Twisted Metal are providing experiences gamers havent had this gen. Prove me wrong. Secondly, I will most likely be playing Halo 4 and do not care whether it will have more popularity. To a gamer is the system that relies  on a few games a console of choice? Thats up to you to decide. 

You must not have read the part in this topic where I said I do not hate the 360, it despise Microsofts recent decisions with it (within the last 2-3 years). Learn to separate the two.
