Gears of War 3

Gears of War and Kinect to Come Together at This Year's VGAs?
Written Monday, November 15, 2010 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

The following is a paid political broadcast brought to you by "Rumour Mill Washing Powder - Because your socks have never smelt so clean... or of so much rotting carcass!"

Yes, that's right folks, another rumour to chuckle, panic and be baffled over, this time coming from IGN, whose "reliable" source tells them that a Gears of War Kinect product is set to be unveiled at this year's VGAs.

The site is reporting that Microsoft will use this year's Video Game Awards show from Spike TV to introduce some "big action games."

One of those games is said to be an Epic Games developed Gears of War title for Kinect, with the site unclear whether it will be an all-new Gears or an existing Gears game making use of the Kinect device. Either of which would go some way to proving Microsoft want Kinect to be more than just a family orientated device.

Signs do point towards this being a separate standalone title or an older version retro-fitted, as Cliff Bleszinski as recent as yesterday responded with a short, sharp and to the point "No" when asked whether Gears of War 3 was delayed so they could fit Kinect functionality.

As always with rumours, take this with a pinch of salt - maybe a barrel of it in this case - but if it does turn out to be true, then if done right, a Kinect enabled Gears IP could be just what the doctor ordered. That is of course so long as they don't shoehorn it into the existing Gears arch.

Is this something that floats your boat? Or is Kinect still not for you?

That might be going too far, but I'm sure they'd take your complaint into immediate consideration.

I do agree though, I don't want the Kinect. And to link it with Gears would probably suck.

I think too many people are assuming that they'd just shoehorn Kinect into the existing trilogy. There's enough Gears of War lore to make multiple games that don't occupy the same game space - shooter and Kinect title i.e. not the same game. Just sayin' =P

How would kinect work with any shooter? You can't exactly run around and switch weapons using your body as a controller can you? I can't afford to buy kinect and I'd be gutted if they somehow made it work, I love gears (just got the COG symbol tattooed on me) and I don't think it would be done, or could be for that matter.

I already stated this when Kinect was still Natal: "If I have to waggle my arms like a Wii-loving manjobber to play Reach, I will kill someone at Microsoft."

This also applies to Gears of War 3, Dragon Age 2, Portal 2, Battlefield 3, and a wide variety of other games with sequels in my played games lists. Don't make me regret selling my PS2, Microsoft. Seriously.

Holy crap! Started shaking a little bit when I saw this on the news feed. I really hope this rumor is true and that it is a stand alone title for Kinect. Definitely need some non-family oriented games that are M rated for Kinect. Gears would be perfect!

@14 I think more people are saying that Kinect sucks balls, not its games. Although they also suck balls, come to think of it. So putting a good game on a peripheral that sucks balls doesn't really solve the underlining problem. (Kinect sucking balls.)

Slightly off topic: Anyone know what the Gears Thanksgiving mp xp bonus is going to be?

I really don't see why everyone is complaining. The controller is still by far the best way to play a shooter on a console and gaming developers would be committing commercial suicide if they forced their loyal hardcore fans to get Kinect to play it. At this point the only shooter games I can see on Kinect are the arcade-style rail shooters anyway. I personally think the idea of a Gears arcade shooter would be pretty cool.

Nobody is pointing a gun at your head and forcing you to buy it so if you its not for you just let it go by and wait for Gears 3.

I think this will likely be the hybrid controller/ kinect games that has been mentioned. All the features of normal gears but with a few upper body movements to add a sense of immersion.

You guys are pretty idiotic if you think they're going to make you use the kinect to play GoW. You will HAVE OPTIONS meaning you can still use your controller so calm down. And #28: obviously you've never played a Wii because some games give you options: SSBB, Mario Kart and Golden Eye can all be played on a controller so chill out.

This is exactly what I was afraid of. Personally, Kinect doesn't appeal to me in the slightest and I think it's a dumb idea and a pathetic attempt by Micro$oft to steal Nintendo's fans. However, I shouldn't be hating on it cause it's not like I have to buy it to play the games I like to play, right? Oh wait, that's exactly what making a GoW Kinect game would do. And if a GoW game gets made, all of the other hardcore franchises will soon follow. If people want to buy Kinect and enjoy it, then that's their right and it's fine by me, but if Micro$oft is going to force all of us hardcore gamers to buy it just to play our favorite games, then I have a problem. Rant over and no offense to those who disagree. :)

It could be cool, but it probably wouldn't work, in the long run.

Also, Cliff has said time and time again that he's not bringing Gears to Kinect, as cool as he thinks the technology is. So why do people keep bringing these things up?

@31 Obviously. Even if Epic isn't adding anything to their game.. other shooter games will eventually start to have Kinect in them, and it will start going downhill from there. Fastforward 50+ years and we're looking at completely controller free games. It's very sad. I know I'm over exaggerating a bit, but something of that sort is sure to happen.

DONT WORRY! People the kinects controls do not work well enough to truly map enough of the body to be able to fully give you control over a character in a game like this. That is why So many of Kinects games are Sports or Minigame games. I imagine it will probably be a Mini Game in GoW3. That you unlock and can play co op mode with. I would do it like this:
1. Not a 3rd person shooter. Wont work with the tech and too many people would hurt themselves trying to take cover behind their couch. and one person will try and vault over the couch and split their balls open and sue Epic.
2. Make it Fun. Yet Exciting for hardcore gamers.
3. Dont shoehorn a crappy item into a game. If your gonna do something do it right. Dont make something just to appeal to someone. If it dont work dont put some crappy gameplay/game/minigame/ or whatever out there.
If you want to read more i will be writing a blog tonight on MYIGN on my thoughts and speculation on this from a future developers point of view.Follow WholesaleNinjamonkey for more!

So, #7, would the announcement of Dance Extreme NOT make the Kinect lamer?

#25- Actually, most people are praising Kinect, that is, of THOSE WHO ACTUALLY OWN ONE. Check the "General Kinect Discussion" in the forums and many people are enjoying it. Yes, the launch lineup was slightly shallow, but plenty of fun to be had there still. Most people hating on Kinect never tried it, and more importantly, purchased one and spent time with the tech.

#41- My god, I hope we aren't using controllers in 50 years! In 2060 I would think we would have evolved from controllers. I don't what though, possibly a link to your brain functions some how.

Don't judge this game until it's out(if it even is true). Christ! People have made up their minds about this and Kinect in general before even playing it. It's very disheartening.

@58 Fair enough. I don't own Kinect, nor have I tried it enough to say one way or the other (played for a few minutes at a store set up). I'm glad people are enjoying it, and I can see how it would appeal to some, if not me personally.

IGN is full of shit, they post this garbage now in hopes that it comes true. When it doesn't, the post will just vanish and they will deny it ever happened. I have worked in game development myself. I have seen the 'credible source' reports from IGN about a game I was involved with, and can speak from experience that this wouldn't be the first time they pulled this trick.

@58 I really dont see why you keep using this "well the people who bought one like it" as though that really means much. When people buy something it usually means they like it or had a good suspicion they would like it. Im sure some of the worst movies of all time are pretty well liked by the people who actually bothered to go out and buy them, does that really mean anything? Even if Microsoft meets its rather high 5 million units prediction that still means the wide majority of xbox owners arent purchasing kinect. The fact that the minority who did buy it liked it really isnt a counter argument to people saying they or others dislike it.

@64 I will listen to the opinions of the people that actually have seen the thing in action any day before someone who wrote it off the day it was first announced. Which most of you whiners did. Plenty of people that have bought games come on to these forums complaining that they are unhappy about their purchase, why would Kinect be any different? If you don't wanna give it a chance, so be it, but don't act like you are some kind of authority when you ahve never even used it.

@72 Sorry but I disagree most people will hate kinect out right but there are hardcore gamers that will love it as well. It really is a lot of fun when you give it a spin. The tech has so many possibilities that for something like a gears game, it might work out when mixed well with controllers.

Imagine being able to set the controller down and be in control of the cut scenes. Even using the tech to tell certain AI to move in a direction [been done in that tom clancy game] yet it would be a lot better with kinect.

I understand people being skeptical about Kinect. After all, the launch lineup is anything but brilliant. That said I wouldn't go as far as saying that a Gears of War Kinect game would suck. There aren't as many triple A studios in the business and Epic Games happens to be one. It's a studio that has released great games and innovating ones over the last decade. So why on earth would they make a game that's BS? To those that think you can't run or change weapons... with Kinect I'd say you CAN. I think there are many ways they could do this. The best one however would probably require a peripheral (For instance, a Lancer replica with a "stick" on the bottom part for movement and a trigger for firing). I believe it's up to great developers to achieve great results with new technologies like Kinect. And I think hybrid games could be a lot of fun.

i can predict Xbox 360 Gamers who hate Kinect-For-Babies will move on to PS3. So will i. i'm already thinking of rebuying PS3 again. Then Sony and PS3 won.

You can't seem to keep anyone here happy when it comes to Kinect. I mean, if you don't like it then fine, just don't buy it. I could even understand your frustration if it was included in Gears 3 and was a requirement for an achievement. But, this is a rumour and IF it is true it is likely to be its own game. So if you don't like that, then don't buy that either. It's simple. Just don't start hating over something which we haven't even seen anything of yet.

Games like Gears dont belong on Kinect, House of the Dead is a more suitable choice.
One game i think would be great (maybe) with kinect would be Dead Or Alive

I'm amused by all the people saying hardcore gamers won't touch Kinect. I would consider myself a hardcore gamer, yet I've purchased one and have enjoyed playing on it in-between playing other games. I would welcome a developer looking to make more serious games for the Kinect and if the game is terrible, then so be it, Epic can afford to take the hit. If it turns out to be great, then great. It would be nice to see a big risk in terms of game innovation being successful.

I would consider myself a hardcore gamer, but I love Kinect. Bring on a STAND ALONE gears Kinect title and all the haters can moan about it while everyone who is willing to give Kinect a chance could be having the chainsawing time of their lives ;)

Seriously all you "hardcore" / "pro" wannabes get a grip, have you even tried Kinect? Chances are you haven't & the only thing you've seen is family fun, adverts with groups of people enjoying it together.

Sorry that you don't have a social life or friends that can come around & play with you.

FFS I only setup Kinect on my gf's Xbox, transferred my gt across & straight away some dumb ass sent me a message saying how he was disappointed that I had Kinect, yet the idiot had CoD Black Ops as his most recent played game, yeah come on! When I asked him if he'd played Kinect he responded with he'd rather rub shit all over him. On further investigation he then responded with saying how he doubt's anyone would want to go around his to play Kinect & that it does look fun in groups. He then went onto divulge how crap CoD Black Ops was.

I'm an ex pro (yes paid to play) & held the title as #1 team in the EU for GoW, so I guarantee I'm a lot more "pro" than some of you guys posting here.

Kinect Adventures took me by surprise it's actually really fun. Kinectimals appeals to the inner child & it's freaking cool how it utilises Kinect. Then you got Dance Central & Your Shape, need I say more? Those games are superb & carry the launch of Kinect. I can't wait to see what's to come but seriously get a grip @ 2 & 3, and that goes to anyone else who shares the same closed minded bullshit.

Enjoy.

@ 64: What she is sayin is MOST of the people who have formed the opinion you have, have not even tried the thing.

Yes the people who went out and bought it are gonna be its biggest supporters, but when the names of people who never show up on the forum for Owning a Kinect, are always the people in the Forum, Hating on kinect, you don't see much if any of that in the kinect forum..

And honestly, if you wanna compare it to a crappy movie, that's fine..
But that adage stays true...you would have to Experience the movie first to know if you actually enjoy it...or just like your "expert" review of the kinect which involves a passing glance in best buy, did u just see a preview of said movie??

The onnly thing I hate about Kinect is it's price. I can't afford thus I can't buy it, altough I'd love to try Fitness and Dance Central. Having that said if Gears Kinect title was to come out I'd love to play it and hopefuly Kinect's price would go down by then to semi affordable $100....

One can hope*dreamy eyes*

Oh and fuck the haters^^

Why are most people so negative about kinect in a (possible) more hardcore game. I think its a nice opportunity. I would like to see this integration in the form of something small, something that adds something to the mood and involvement.

Everyone complaining about Kinect, you're opinion means NOTHING until you actually give it a fair try. I know you're all pro gamers, (in your own minds), and you're way too cool to give it a shot, but if you won't take the time to really see if it's any good, then most people with brains don't give a shit what your opinion is on the subject.

I'm so stoked!!! All games should start having Kinect functionality. People need to relax because they aren't forced to buy it. I'm pretty sure it will be a separate game. If not, Gears 3 will be so awesome!

They're not that stupid if they make Gears of War with Kinect it will only be optional and it'll probably just be a fun way to play. There is no way they would only make it with Kinect so no one has to worry.
