Hugely disappointing. Im excited for a new Gears but this was MS chance for a new huge exclusive IP.

Unless they outright buy Respawn / Titanfall I don't think they have a single studio capable of building "the next Halo" as every one of their big studios is tied up.

343 - Halo
Lionhead - Fable
Rare - Kinect
Turn 10 - Forza
Black Tusk - Gears of War.

Those are some amazing IPs but......no new IP.

3 of those studios have a game in development that isn't tied to those franchises you listend.

Lionhead announced they are working on a non Fable game.

Rare is working on something other than a Kinect game.

Black Tusk does have another game.


Lionheads non Fable game is likely not a huge IP as their main team is all on Fable right now.

And sorry Ive given up any hope of anything Rare related. Hopefully Black Tusk new IP hasnt been canned.

dakota - project spark.

...and remedy is a pretty full time second party so quantum break too.  i expect MS to keep that exclusive.  ...possibly sunset overdrive too even if insomniac will be multiplat in general.

So you want new IP's, but will not consider new IP's based on no information at all. That makes no sense. You have already set Microoft up to fail in your eyes.

No Im just in the Ill believe it when I see it belief.

MS fans have been claiming well be seeing new IPs for YEARS now. In a way we are as MS is funding multiple 3rd party exclusives but I was really excited to see what a whole new studio built from the ground up new IP would be.

When Rare or Lionhead actually show a major new AAA IP ill belive it.

    ? Their first project is a highly ambitious, all-original new IP! (cc )

Thats from August though. Its possible the new IP was canceled or delayed once MS aquired the Gears of War IP.

Considering the development of new Gears is not even started yet, I still keep my belief that the new IP can be unveiled with more details by this year.

But I might be disappointed in the end...



Goatseye on 27 January 2014

They have more than one team, just like Rare, Lionhead and Lift London.



FlamingWeazel on 27 January 2014

Can someone explain to me what the point of even showing it was? Sounds almost like false advertising. If sony did that i'd be pretty disappointed, pointless.



Darth Tigris on 27 January 2014

I really don't know what else they can do with the Gears of War franchise. GeoW3 really ended the story (though not exactly satisfactorily imo) and Judgement was a prequel, which are always retreads that lack any tension because you know where the story ends up.

Dunno, not really all that great news to me unless Black Tusk has other stuff that they've been working on for a long time that comes out sooner, but we know that ain't happening now. :/
