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.

I have a feeling that this will be similar to Halo ODST, with the multiplayer portion of Gears of War 3 coming " free " with it.

There's going to be new multiplayer, Rod Ferguson confirmed it. Epic is making Overrun and multiplayer and People Can Fly is making the campaign.

I see, well so much for that theory.

I find it increasingly difficult to get excited about another sequal to another shooter that is starting to outstay its welcome. THis is the same story as CoD and Halo.

These games were so great at one time, and they had such groundbreaking concepts. At one point or another, though, they just start kincking the dead horse, as it were. I was one of the BIGGEST fans for CoD at first, but year after year it's just another game with minimal changes. Here's hoping People Can Fly will take a chance and break the GOW mold.

Sad, I was hoping they'd be done with the Gears series, unless this is just a prequel. I just hope they don't try to drag this series out too long

wonder if it'll be an xbox durango/720 launch title. familiar franchise with new developer could revamp the franchise, appeal to gears fans and intrigue people someone on the fence of throwing down $ for a new console. depends on how much they change form Epic's approach. especially if they keep innovating horde mode.

I dig Cole and especially Baird. My understanding is that some of the interstitial fiction out there is about the two of them. I'm betting on a mid-quel, between Gears 1 & 2

Boooo! I wanted a sequel to Bulletstorm from PCF rather than another bloody Gears.... game. Nothing against Gears, even though I wasn't a fan of 3, but I'm not interested in anymore of that series. PCF deserve better, Bulletstorm was utterly terrific and one of my favourite shooters/score attack games in years. Great developer. Very self aware taking the piss out of the whole 'dudebro' style' and General Serrano is one of the best sweary, non PC villains to be in a game in ages. Hell I can understand if people are put off by its dialogue/attitude but I love it, great game.

I am a big fan of the Gears series, and don't have a problem with PCF making it, but I really do not like Cole and Baird as characters, but, I am still willing to give them a chance and see if it is to my liking.

Is Bulletstorm a good game that has been bogged down by bandwagon hate? I can never truly find a reliable source that doesn't sound overly exaggerated about whether or not it's a good game.

It was only $9.95 at my local GameStop, so I could always just pick it up if it's worth it.

For $10 it's a steal. Only negative thing I can say is that the controls can be strange sometimes.

Honestly, a new Gears Of War game is the very last thing I wanted. Unless, this is releasing on the Xbox 360, I can't see them carrying Gears Of War over to the next console cycle without rebooting and retooling the entire thing.

Really? I'm surprised another Halo isn't the last thing you wanted.

I got burned out on Gears 3 really fast because I played so much Gears 2. Definitely not biting at the hip for this one. IGN is also reporting it's a prequel, which is even more un-interesting to me. We know Baird and Cole make it out alive. Not all that interested to see what happens if I know the end outcome.

No idea why all the hate for Baird. He is a dick but I always find his asshole remarks quite funny and it gave him way more personality then Marcus and Dom had. Why are people crying too soon? The game will come out next year and every Gears game besides Gears 3 released every 2 years and well next year will be 2 years since 3 released.

I don't think I'll even bother with this one, I was really disappointed with Gears of War 3. I was really looking forward to it, got the Epic Edition and even bought the season pass, but I haven't even bothered to get any of the DLC so that was a waste of money.

Was not a fan of bulletstorm and I hope these dudes don't end up ruining gears. I did not like Baird as a character so i'm a little worried. Hope it turns out good.

This kinda looks like Baird...

Also, I want to know what Cole and Baird were dicking around with while Marcus was in the Submarine. Those guys fucked off for a good few hours of Gears 3 and then just turned up at the end in a hellicopter having fixed Jack and... er... done some other shit? I don't know.

Oh yeah, btw, spoilers T_______T

I knew People Can Fly have been working on a Gears of War game for months, hope this means they change the gameplay up. Gears of War 3 was solid but nothing spectacular for me

The amazing characters include generic bulky man with raspy voice, generic bulky man with deep voice and the completely original manly woman making jokes about dicks.

Jesus. So many people complaining, saying this is just a cash grab, milking the cow. Guess what? Epic, Microsoft, EA, Activision and all other developers and publishers are in this for the money. It is business baby. I would think that after the 38 Studios debacle, we would all be in agreement that having cash flow stop just to please ones sense of duty or wanting to do what they want regardless of what happens on the business side is dumb. Making money is important to these guys. Gears of War will sell another game. What else is there to think about?

Man I sure hope this isn't just a fucking gears of war game. I get what gears did for the genre, but I never liked that kind of cover based third person shooter, and, as a fan of people can fly (or a least of Painkiller, which was a while ago, and appreciator if not fan of bulletstorm) im hoping they do something different.

Also besides not liking the style of gameplay gears had the bro shit turned me off too.
