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.

Baird? Come one now. I liked Baird and Cole throughout the Gears series, but them as the main characters?

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.

@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.

@Napalm: Sam was pretty cool, but I suppose I admittedly liked her mostly because she's basically ''what if Claudia Black existed in the Gears Universe??''

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).

Ah yeah, she was a fucking total babe. So yeah, three characters that are memorable. And Raam. He's pretty memorable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

Is the GoW IP owned by MS or Epic? Could this possibly be on PS3 as well as 360 seeing as its a separate story to the first 3.

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.

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

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

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.

I'm a fan as my proposal for the Gears Triple Pack packaging shows quite obviously:
