Forums - Gaming - Epic Games Open to Gears of War on Next Generation Consoles

Gears of War 4 cöming to Playstation 4 would cause meltdowns from the Xbox fanboys for sure. I think Microsoft should fight for the exclusivity.

So funny how the entire article has nothing to do with this coming to any Sony platform, yet the writer has to stir the pot.

Yes we know the franchise belongs to Epic. However there are a things called contracts. Microsoft doesn't just cut the check and get the games. There are deals signed and the speculation for a long time has been Microsoft has been locked into a new trilogy for the 720 for a few years.

Who cares.  The writer was just stating that it would be interesting IF they brought it to the ps4. It's not like he said that it was 100% coming to ps4.  Yes we know that MS has a contract with Epic, but it seems to me Epic doesn't want to be stuck with MS.

Maybe Microsoft cancelled the deal when they saw Gears of War Judgment's pre-orders and decided to not pay millions of dollars on a game that won't bring in the cash ;o

After seeing gameplay videos of Gears of War Judgement, i can honestly say i'm not interested in it anymore. Microsoft can keep it i don't care.

people can fly are creating judgment and you can see the difference. judgment likely won't get higher then 90 on metric. may settle at 88. 

if Epic creates gears in for the 8th gen. then yea. i say lets get a petition going.

88 no way..  Getting 80 would already be a miracle.

Contracts can end and not be renewed.
Epic owns the IP and probably had a contract for 3-4 Games for the 360.
What if they couldn't find an agreement for a new contract and EPIC said "No we want to expand the franchise" ?
And the speculation always said that Cliffy B wanted Gears to go Multiplat a long time and so said some others at Epic.
The possibility is there if Microsoft isn't convincing enough.

And we have seen contracts getting broken in this Gen all the time or how "Ultra Exclusive NEVER on other platform" Games suddenly came to other platforms.
The Bungie Game "Destiny" was rumored a long time to be 360/720 Time Exclusive and even reports from Activision showed that and now the PS4 is getting the best version.SquareEnix broke the contract for Final Fantasy 13 with Sony cause Microsoft paid enough including the fee for breaking the contract.
There is always the option for 3rd Party to just break contracts if enough money is involved.


@ Gears - I really don't care.The first game was fun cause of the new experience.The 2nd already got boring and 3 was just completely uninteresting.Judgment won't even carried by its own fanbase as it looks like.
Would probably just be a nice punch from Sony into the face of M$ if it would happen.

For me Gears is no where near as important as Ninja Gaiden or Mass Effect when they crossed over. It if comes over that's fine, but I don't see myself buying it since I lost interest after the first game.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

Yeah I couldn't care less about the franchise.



It would be foolish for Epic not to continue with the series. Epic games UC series was dying and had been for many years. Quite frankly, MS and Gears saved them. 



Gears is very overrated but I'd buy the trilogy if it was released.

i was trying t be nice, but 80 is likely the best GEARS-J could get.
