Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft acquired Gears of War rights. Black Tusk to develop the games

Black Tusk is not that big. The spy game was real, period. And it was good. 

My thoughts: they should extend Black Tusk to accomodate two game development. Setting up a studio to create new IP only to dump Gears on them is obviously not the best move.

I'm sorry but MS cancelling a new IP from black tusk and forcing them to work on someones else established franchise is not a good thing. Cannot see all the guys at BT being happy about that, probably will lose some people.

Really surprised people see this as a good move.

Wow how do people support this company (microsoft), they make me fume. They managed to spend a billion dollars on the industry and shrink it. all there bullsh*t is contractionary and ends up with less people p[laying less games. they barely spent a cent on new ips all of it went to paying for exclusive rights and now existing ips staying exclusive rather than letting multiplats be multi and putting that moneyu into new ips or studios meaning more games and more ips. stop buying there products


So...you're mad that Gears of War isn't multi-plat?

This franchise is dieing just like God of war is on Playstation. I wonder how much MS had to put out to get this.

Interesting. I don't mind if they bought it. It still sells pretty well.

Gears of War is another bro shooter, it won't go away for awhile. The only reason Judgement sold so poorly was because it was a big step down from the series gameplay-wise, plus they gave out free copies.

Hopefully this frees up People Can Fly to make Bulletstorm 2

They are investing in plenty of new IP's.

AND throwing cash around.

It's a nice combination.

Gears of war is no where near as popular as it used to be. Most people have stopped caring about this franchise after Gears 3 and moved on. Judgment was not a success becuase people got bored with the series and moved on, (it also didnt help that it was just a bad game).
