Microsoft's Kinect may get its first taste of hardcore flavor—made a little bit softer—in the form of an on-rails Gears of War shooter said to be in development for the Xbox 360.

According to sources claiming to be familiar with the project, the previously rumored Gears of War Kinect project is indeed real. Based on details provided to Kotaku, a demo version of the game appeared to re-use some assets and events from Gears of War 2.

While we don't yet know the extent to which Kinect controls might be implemented, a source indicates that movement in this Gears of War spin-off would be controlled not by the player, but set on-rails.

Late last year, Epic Games teased a new, unexpected Gears of War gameplay reveal planned for the Spike TV Video Game Awards. That unveiling was pulled prior to the taping of the Spike VGAs, promised for a reveal at a later date.

In the weeks prior, IGN reported that a Gears of War title for Kinect was in the works. Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski responded to that rumor via Twitter, assuring fans that there would be "No Kinect in Gears of War 3."

Last month, Epic Games announced a new Gears collection, the Gears of War Triple Pack, and filed for a new trademark, Gears of War: Exile, as spotted by Siliconera.

Boy, Gears on rails sounds like a bunch of crap...

Sounds good, I will try it... I mean its Gears of War, they can't mess that up... can they..?

if its on-rails then it appears they can, kinect and gears should be kept well away from each other if the best thing they can come up with is an on-rails shooter

My thoughts exactly.  The besta parts of Gears are interacting with the environment(hiding behind things, jump and rolling).  It sounds like a "let's make a shooter on rails" idea, that morphed into"if it has Gears on the title, it will sell shitloads!"

LOL now this is gonna be interesting if true

Gears games are already kind of on rails if you ask me. They can't have you deviate too much from the designated and scripted  "cinamtic experience".

But out of sheer curiosity as to how this is going to work, I am interested in this.

hmmmm.....doesn't sit well with me...will have to see some video first.

I'm so excited by this! I can't wait to chainsaw a Locust in half with my bare two hands haha.
