soooo... everyone basically said gears was dead when they thought it might end up on any platform and now its xbox only again your tunes change? how predictable

It if anyone suspected it was dead it was because it looked like judgement would have been the last, period.

Thank fucking god, I wouldn't want to see Sony waste any effort on it - third party moneyhat or first party.

Thank you, MS.

edit: came off a bit extreme, but had the Sony+Gears of War rumor in the back of my mind. I guess I am happy MS killed that rumor forever and ever.

This is the reason I bought the Sony console this generation. Sony focuses on creating new IP and they create new studios, Microsoft tend to recycle what is successful in hopes of making a little more money.

MS has plenty of new IPs for Xbox One.


Oh yeah and tell me, what's the next exclusive you're buying? Let me guess, Infamous: Second Son?


Please don't make it personal, I only meant that I chose the PlayStation because I like the variety that Sony offers. The Xbox is a perfectly viable option for gaming too, and yes there will be some new IP, but I don't think will be as much variety. No doubt there will be a lot of people who think this is brilliant news as they will get a new Gears of War game. As to my next exclusive I intend to try out Basement Crawl, but yes I will be picking up inFamous: Second Son, is that a bad thing? 

Edit: Why do people think all comments are either for or against one of the companies that make consoles?

Honestly, I really don't understand the people those who ignore great games just because of console bias. I am a Xbox fan, but I really enjoy those great PS3 exclusives. I will never overlook any good game just due to they are on other platforms.

A new IP would have been better IMO. new gen need more new Ip's, especially with gears.

Eh.. I just want the next game to be better than Judgement!

That game should have never existed.

About time. Congrats on securing the IP. Let's hope blacktusk keeps the quality.

Now the tones will change completely among the fans of both consoles. Sony fans will not care about the franchise, and Xbox fans who used to say that this franchise was dead, will cheer and party again.


okay, i'll bite.   Sony fan.

 

Was gears a good franchise?  yep, i've got no problem saying that.  i placed the 1st one, it was fun.

...but now that gears has moved to MS/Black tusk it means that whatever epic is working on isn't gears.  for playstation fans this is great news as a new IP is better than jumping in on the 5th entry of an established franchise.  so i'm pretty cool with this.  Good for MS,.. but also good for PS.

You made it personal when you put "I" in your post. I never said buying Second Son is a bad thing, just don't try to make it seem like Sony is being completely new while MS milks every franchise. Both have fanbases that want new and old games.
