Gears First-Person Shooter Very Much A Possibility

Posted on Monday, August 6 @ 07:30:46 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


While third-person shooting has been the core mechanic that defines Epic Games' Gears of War franchise, there's a possibility that the series may tip-toe into the FPS genre in the future. According to executive producer Rod Fergusson, they haven't ruled anything out.

“I’m a big believer in never say never,” Fergusson said to OXM when questioned about the possibilitiy. “It’s all about what’s interesting in the industry at the time and where fans want us to take it. We don’t want to say never but it’s not on the top of my mind either. We look at what makes sense and move in that direction.”

It's also worth noting that the upcoming prequel, Gears of War: Judgment is being done by the guys at People Can Fly, a team that is adept at making quality first-person shooters thanks to their work on Bulletstorm. With regard to Judgment, Fergusson had a few bits of new info to share, saying that since "People Can Fly is very much about things in level with a high replayability," their "campaign is a different campaign, but at its heart it’s Kilo squad, and Lancers and taking cover – it’s a Gears game.”

For all things Gears and video games in general, keep it locked to GameRevolution.

    Please don't do it. There is enough problems with your engine as it is

    I like Gears of War as a third-person game. We've already got too many FPS games and I feel making it FPS would ruin the whole Gears of War experience. If players were able to switch from first-person to third-person like you would see in Bethesda games, it might make it better.

    Why don't they make it a subscription based MMO while they're at it.

    im not going to join the HATE WAGON like everyone else...

    but as far as im concerned... why? i dont see the point...

    EPIC games already has FPS games... UNREAL TOURNAMENT & BULLETSTORM... FPS is covered...
    GEARS OF WAR is a unique 3rd person shooter, that IMO is the only 3ps that has ever had fun & competitive multiplayer! well, besides SPLINTER CELL! but they're 2 entirely different games...

    they should keep gears 3rd person... as far as FPS from EPIC... id much rather have a fully supported UT4! and im fine with waiting till the next xbox... make it a launch title so the franchise finally gets the attention from console gamers it deserves!!!

    Hooray! Another FPS in the pipeline. Luckily, the FPS market is not saturated or anything.

    On a sidenote: Am I the only one who thinks that Gears of War, as a series, is only worthy of the word 'meh' instead of it being hailed as a landmark achievement many gamers make it out to be?

    I mean, I got so bored with the first game, and half the time I had no clue on what was going on. The objectives were rather vague in my opinion.
