OMG! They just solidified my Xbox One purchase before the PS4. Hell Yes! My favorite franchise on the Xbox!

The game is 2-3 years away how would that solidify a purchase of an x1 before a ps4? There will be a tonne of games released before then.

Awesome move. But a shame though that Epic Games aren't the main devs. The quality was just extremely high. Let's hope that Black Tusk is similar talented as 343 Studios when they took over the Halo series.

Yeah, they were definitely working on a new IP.

Its either been cancelled outright or they have 2 teams. One or the other.

Got their work cut out. The franchise is in serious need of a lift, judgement was awful imo.

I think they need to go darker and even more gritty.

For once I agree, it speaks volumes EPIC was willing to sell the rights. It is not the same series as when it first launched on 360. I'd say the same if it was a sony game, new IP's please. new gen should mean more new Ip's.

Well had this been a few years ago I'd be bothered, one of the reasons I moved from 360 to ps4 was cause of Halo and Gears being stale to me. It's about time ms realised this, both still have good fanbases but shrinking fast.
