It's possible that it is or at least I like to think it is :) I guess for a 2018 release for it they would of had to of got a new studio on it not long after they shut down Lionhead. Whilst I know developers are different the Gears series has been on shorter cycles than Halo and they made the Gears Ultimate along with Gears 4 from the ground up in 2 years 9 months maybe less as development probably didn't start as soon as MS got the rights for it but I were persuming Halo 6 hits in 2019 then they won't release Gears 5 at the same time and leaving it a year would mean 4 year cycle which seems quite long unless they are working on something inbetween to release in 2018. If MS haven't got Gears 5 (or Halo 6) ready for holiday 2018 they need to have some big new shooter IP imo as whilst FH4 can carry them in Europe it doesn't have as much power in the US to be the main focus of holiday 2018. I also don't see them remastering Halo 3 anniversary for 2018 either with the recent announcment of fixing MCC and X enhanced mode but we did see that Phil said he signed some new IP deals that were 2-3 years away so maybe there is a potential bit hitter amongst them due for 2018 along with Recore 2 or something :) |
Why do you think MS needs a shooter game so bad? Maybe they could try something a little bit different in the next holiday season?
