Yes, People Can Fly is Working on Gears of War Judgement [UPDATED]

New details on the next Gears of War game, including an official title and the star characters.

No Caption Provided

UPDATED: Seemingly trying to get ahead of scans and leaks, Game Informer has confirmed the new game is called Gears of War Judgement, and will involve both Baird and Cole.

--

People Can Fly is, in fact, involved with the next Gears of War, Epic Games president Mike Capps confirmed on Twitter this morning.

This comes just one day after the new Gears of War game was announced on Game Informer's cover, and Epic Games' public relations department bizarrely dodged any questions of who was making it.

Besides the developer, we have no details on what the game is. Speculation around the office is that it's not necessarily a prequel (why hide Marcus Fenix's head, which wouldn't be much of a surprise?), and it could follow the squad introduced in the most recent Gears of War 3 downloadable content, RAAM's Shadow.

Is it too much to hope for Bulletstorm 2 secretly being a new Gears of War game? Probably, but I'll try.

WTF? After they said 3 was the last one... I was excited to see the game end since many games series don't anymore. This kinda sucks! I wish it had actually ended!

you switched two words there patrick.

Also this news sucks, people can fly deserve better :(

They deserve better? What does that even mean? You mean the same people that made a greatly inferior game when compared to any of the GoW games? Nope.

Are you new to video games? Name one game that sold a shit ton of copies that didn't have a another after it. Now I will admit this does seem like a "we need to sell one more game before next gen" and PCF are not working on anything so well give them a tried and true franchise why the big boys work on our next gen launch game, but ya gotta make money you can't just have ppl sitting around.

The Gears series has run its' course with a decent trilogy of games. This just screams cash grab. Hopefully the good people at People Can Fly aren't tied down to the Gears family mechanics. We shall see.

People Can Fly working on Gears kind of feels like a waste in a way, though I'm sure this game will be pretty good. I loved Bulletstorm, it's a shame the game's marketing was so dodgy that it made people angry. Maybe the script could have used some restraint, but none of it particularly bothered me, I found it to be an entertaining brand of stupid. I guess anything that reminds some people of the whole "dudebro" thing immediately induces a seething rage as they think back to those times they were stuffed in a locker by their local meathead.

I just hope People Can Fly have learned that, no, combining synonyms for dick with the word fuck does not equal a story. Fucking Bulletstorm was offensive...offensively stupid. And it totally, completely marred an otherwise awesome game. That and hearing Steve Blum and Jennifer Hale voice your main characters. Like we don't hear them and their lack of range in a billion video games already. Steve Blum makes Nolan North sound like Mel Blanc or Billy West.

Painkiller was awesome and bulletstorm was a good/great game. I'm interested to see which direction they take the franchise and if they will being the series back to PC.

If this is just GOW: Cole and Baird's Tale, count me out. If People Can Fly make it way crazy, then we'll see.

The Cole Train and Baird? Sounds great, those two were always the two most interesting of the main four guys (even if I was constantly thinking Baird was an ass (because he is), but the games just aren't the same when he's not around).

@Yummylee: I know you played as them for a good few hours. Regardless, I think most of the characters in that universe are forgettable. Cole is hilarious and awesome, and Carmine is OP. I would love to see a Bulletstorm sequel more than anything.

As main characters? Dude, they were main characters through half of Gears Of War 3.

Half? More like a third, if that. Though I wish they did take up half of the game. That's basically what I thought they did have planned and it sucked once I soon realised that it was going to be Marcus n co for the rest of the game.

Also I think Baird is ok; it definitely struck me as odd to learn how many dislike him, though he certainly had his moments of complete and utter assholery in Gears 3. He was so infuriatingly sarcastic and passive aggressive towards Cole during his playable segment of the story.

I like Baird and all but if you want Cole Train (baby) in a game you gotta spend the dollaz and get Big Bo in.

Literally just started Bulletstorm (I got it a while ago for a whopping £5 used) and fucking adore it. I adore Gears of War. I approve of this. If they can get a leash in there somewhere, DO IT.

As someone who JUST bought Gears 3, I don't need this. As someone who's favorite Gears character is Baird, I'm excited. I hope it plays more to the strengths of People Can Fly, and I'm cautiously optimistic.

I took to Baird for that classic line he said in Gears of War, where he goes in response to Fenix passing off a wierd hissing to the wind, with something like'yeah never heard the wind whisper 'hostiles' before. He of course reminds me of, and probably modeled after that charactor in Aliens.

And yeah, Painkiller...3? Or I guess the one after was an expansion, and all the others including what is on steam right now almost pure fan effort or farmed out.. I played the recent one a bit, it's okay.....

I always liked Baird as he was the only character not to take everything so damned seriously in what was a pretty ridiculous world.

But I feel like this is a huge missed opportunity as the idea of a prequel in the Pendulum wars sounded amazing.

Although, if this is just Bulletstorm 2 with a GOW paint-job, count me in.

Okay. I can get behind a game with Baird and Cole.

This also makes me realize that I need to finish Gears of War 3...or spoil the rest of the story for myself somewhere. I think I'll do the latter.

My opinion of the Gears franchise has went down considerably after playing Gears 3. The game got too focused on having things balanced too much that they were no longer fun (just like blops) and they wasted the first 2 acts of the campaign on scenarios that were occurring simultaneously. There was also that bad ending... they need to get new writers in if i'm going to be playing this new game and they need to remove that BS where you have to read books to know what the hell is going on.

Nice, Baird and Cole were easily ten times more amusing than Marcus and Dom.
