'Gears of War' handed over to Black Tusk Studios

[shadowDOESrock]

Today, Microsoft announced that the rights of the hit-franchise 'Gears of War' have been moved over from 'Epic Games' to 'Microsoft Game Studios' itself, becoming a first-party franchise.

Epic Games will move on the other projects, but will keep supporting the Xbox One with the licensing of Unreal Engine 4.

Personally, I think this is great.
Microsoft Game Studios did such a great job with Halo 4 (proving they still have in them, despite not having developed anything themselves in ages (aside from Microsoft Flight). I hope they do a great job with Gears of War 4 as well.

As for Epic Games... Unreal Tournament 4 plz.

Thoughts?

So it's like what happened a few years ago when Sony finally bought Sucker Punch.

That's fine and dandy, but I dunno about this new studio...

They'll probably bring Gears into a fresh new direction.

While I do not have an Xbox One, I do hold my hat up for the games Microsoft Game Studios publishes.
That is, when they do.

So everything's gonna be bright n' colourful with an all female cast?

Not as a Gears of W-
Oh, I forgot who I'm talking to...

Wouldn't that be some shit.

Well, I thought of it like...
A Real-life colourful, not a cartoonish colourful.

Like, there's no reason to have everything be in brown tones, simply to make you feel depressed when sad things happen. Like, MGSV-Colourful.


To be fair though...

The females that are in Gears of War are just as, if not more, awesome than the rest of the cast.
And they arent even oversexualized nor useless - which I found to be amazing for this kind of game.

Usually not the case, for these types of games...

I still don't think an all female cast is necessary for a Gears of War "reboot".

Well, no - Not Reboot
Like, a mini-revivial...
Like Halo 4...

Imagine, like, if there was a Gears squad like the Haven Troopers or the Beauty and the Beast Squad from MGS4
