Could Gears of War Release on the PS4?

Designers at Epic Games have yet to reveal future plans for Gears of War, their franchise game exclusive to Xbox. Both the Microsoft company and many fans would like to see another installment on the Xbox One—preferably one that is exclusive to the system.

I would have to say No it should stay as a Exclusive game for Xbox 360. Also it should be made for Xbox One.

Muffins12233808d ago

Why....honestly any game should atleast support the ps4...i had a 360 but im not buying xbox one like allot of people.They will not keep it on that shit console if their not under contract,preferable they would probably like to be exclusive to the other console,ps4, IF THEY HAVEto be exclusive.Easy to develop for and more power.

shivvy243808d ago

i would prefer a new ip

xHeavYx3808d ago (Edited 3808d ago )

Didn't Microsoft say that that the series are not relevant anymore?
I think there is a big chance of the game launching on the PS4 along with a "Next Gen HD collection"

@kincasper
I can feel that you are in pain, according to your comment history you are nothing but a MS pawn, so, just go away

Eonjay3808d ago

I wouldn't expect Gears to be an exclusive on Xbox One. Respawn got screwed over by EA and now their game will only do half the sales it could have. Activision wins again... and so does Bungie. Especially with the PS4 outselling the Xbox One, it doesn't make good business sense to be exclusive when you don't have to be. Epic wont make the same mistake as EA.

"microsoft throws billions of dollars at their exclusives"

Let me fix that for you.

Microsoft throw billions of dollars at advertising and marketing ALL their products vs having high quality products with a plethora of top tier support for their products.

If MS actually did what you said they wouldn't have been so heavily reliant on 4 titles (Halo, Forza, Fable, Gears), and Kinect last generation.

MS probably throws more money at exclusive DLC deals (getting map packs 30 days sooner then their competition) than it takes to make brand new blockbuster titles. <- This is what use to frustrated me the most as an MS fan. I would've much rather had new IP's or MS to purchase or build a new studio or 3.

On topic:
I think it's pretty much a fore gone conclusion that Epic is going multiplat after reading the tea leaves from MS and Epics statements over the past few months.

Whether it's Gears, a Gears Universe spin off, or a whole new franchise? With myself being a recent Sony convert for this new generation. I would welcome it to the PS4 stable of games with open arms.

Maybe Epic is as fed up with MS as I, and so many once MS fans I know, are. Either or the more games the better.

Gekko363808d ago

@All - Being the biggest among you, I thought I'd join this pointless circle-jerk.

On topic: There is clearly stuff going on in the background between MS and Epic, even now (based on comments and hints in interviews) so who knows?

None of us, thats who. Just play the toys you have for now and wait for them to let us know.

Chill out ladies!

man ,i'am having oth of consoles and personaly thinks that geasr of war must be an exclusive to xb ,the reason is not that that i'am a fan boy reason is when you think about this game the firstimage formed in our heads is xb and i was realy sad when metal gear solid got multiplat it was a great reason to buy an ps with other great exclusive ,first i'am not a fanboy and i dont realy care about the fanboys of either side ,this is what i think ,i always wanted mgs to never appear on xb1 and grears to never appear on ps4 , for me not any console is greater than the other,both are same have their own directions ,yeah fanboys will dissagre me but real gamers will agree me.let see who all are those people.yeah same can be said about order 1886,did any of sony fanboy or user wants to see order after some sequels , a big no for me and we all know it is developed by an 3rd party studio and sony have not buyied the franchise,just think about it and leave the greatness and fanboyism at a side for some time ,oh for fanboy info quantum break is developed by 2nd party studio but franchise is owned by ms ,that a relief for me ,quantum break will never go multiplat until micrsoft sells it.

Apex133808d ago

@Rockubot. Sony fans could have said the same for GTA, metal gear solid etc.

Also, I was big on gears but I have to say the 360 online multiplayer couldn't handle gears and rendered graphics minutes into the game lol.

Ps3 as much as I disliked sony playstation at that point would have made easy work on it.

frostypants3808d ago (Edited 3808d ago )

Not sure why Playstation fans would want to play Gears anyway...it's basically a gimped Uncharted.

MrCrimson3807d ago

Any threat or breadcrumbs of Epic and Gears breaking ties with Microsoft are purely negotiating tactics in order to gain more money in retaining their exclusive partnership.

Also it's worth noting that Microsoft's own game studio publishes Gears of War. As in they pay for the development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of the game.

So, in order for this game to be multi-platform Epic would have to front the entire cost of the next Gears of War game (Gears 1 was estimated to cost 15-20 million not factoring the cost of research/development of the Unreal 3 engine-see wikipedia for figures.) or sign with a new publisher (EA or Activision likely) for likely a less lucrative deal than anything Microsoft could offer.

The likelihood of all the above happening I think is unlikely. Epic Games is working on the Unreal Engine 4 for the next generation of consoles and would likely want to minimize their risk taking heading into this next generation.

Epic Games as a company would have to view the gains of a multi-platform release versus the risk of Gears going multiplat having a buggy release on multiple consoles the game not selling, the software company eating the development cost and the new Unreal engine performing poorly and then the company going under.

I personally don't think Epic Games would do all that just to earn a few bucks in the short term. Next Gen Gears 2? I wouldn't be surprised.

Keep in mind games that have gone Multi-plat that were originally exclusive:

MGS
FF13
Mass Effect- was a Microsoft Games Partner but then Bioware was purchased by EA.

All these games were not published by a first party. (Clear exception of ME which studio was whole sale purchased by a rival publisher.)

It would be nice to see a new IP from Epic on PS4.

boeso3808d ago

Even better, a new IP on both PS4 and X1.

JackISbacK3808d ago

why only ps4 ,it must be a multiplat.

Thehyph3808d ago

That's jumping the gun a bit.

He didn't even mention exclusivity.

I saw his post as an answer to the headline "Could Gears of War Release on the PS4?" and nothing more.

Excalibur3808d ago

I've been saying this for a while now,I don't think Epic is as happy with Microsoft that is being portrayed to the public eye.

Fizzgig3808d ago

They'd be fools not to at least think about releasing on the PS4, with the higher base numbers out there. Fingers crossed they see sense.

JackISbacK3808d ago

so now i think after your comment order 1886 must go multiplat as developed by 3rd party studio ,yeah it will sell well , man its bussiness and none of them is fools ,if one wants to sell more they use to bring more exclusives i hope you are not a pawn from sony.

modesign3808d ago

ready at dawns has been making games for playstation for exception of okami(wii), so i dont see them making xbox games any time soon.

CGI-Quality3808d ago

The Order is Sony's IP. So no.

OT: I don't if it will or won't, but it would be funny watching the reactions if it does (just based even on a few comments in here)!

Fizzgig3808d ago

I think you may have taken my comment out of context, and I am definitely not a pawn from Sony. I own a 360, PS3, Wii U, 3DS, Vita, PS4 and PC. I am a pawn of gaming, not of companies.

123pol3808d ago (Edited 3808d ago )

The order 1886 is developed by READY AT DAWN ( 3rd party ) produced by SANTA MONICA STUDIOS ( OWNED BY SONY ) and then published by SCE so the order 1886 cant go multiplat.

creatchee3808d ago

@JackISback

I think that you meant to say "Deep Down". That's being made by Capcom.

we pray not..it would make the quality of the product suffer and would diminish all charm it had..

xbox exclusive 4 ever!

FlunkinMonkey3808d ago

Yea.. God forbid the console which is more powerful in hardware, has produced consistent games at 1080p and doesn't dip in frame rate between 15-30 for some games, would make the quality of the product suffer.

Ironic.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756112d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00112d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic112d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack112d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing112d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic112d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos112d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin112d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris112d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine112d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz112d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin117d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack116d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing116d ago (Edited 116d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69117d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07117d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn116d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid116d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog116d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex116d ago (Edited 116d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992116d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
