Microsoft says Gears of War would need to be reimagined for Xbox One
2006's Gears of War, 2008's Gears of War 2, 2011's Gears of War 3 and 2013's Gears of War Judgment were all published by Microsoft on Xbox 360. But the most recent title, which was the first to be developed by People Can Fly, a subsidiary of series creator Epic Games, didn't live up to the platform holder's expectations, Spencer suggested during an interview with IGN.
"I want to find a great Gears game. And I thought we did a good job with Judgment, but I don't think it hit the level of quality that we saw in the previous games," he said. "I think review scores showed that, sales showed that.
"I really think we'd need to take a step back with Epic and think about, I wouldn't call it a reboot because I think that's an overused term, but think about where that franchise goes and how to expand what it was. I'd love to have that conversation.
"I do talk to the Epic guys often. They're also busy right now. I think that they've said that Gears is kind of on the back burner for them. So I think it would be a situation when the opportunity came up at the right time it'd be great to sit down with them.
"They're again the right team to work on that game. Trying to find another team to do that game I think is possible, but you'd want to make sure you did that very carefully along with them to make sure we had the right thing in place.
"But I think that franchise would need to be, not reworked, but you'd think about how to expand the universe and what people are doing. Maybe make it more gritty, I don't know. You'd want to do something with it because I think it did kind of run its course on 360. And it was a great success on 360, but it doesn't quite have the story arc of a thing like Halo or something, at least the way it's played out in the games and I think we'd want to pump that up."

What are you talking about?
I take it you're a PS fanboy.
Halo and GoW is some of the biggest games on consoles.
Just because you cannot play them, doesn't mean they're recycled.

KatsumiLavish I can't even imagine how great GoW is going to be on the new GPU's.
Hopefully the game will look stunning and play just as well on new hardware
I was shocked with what all they were able to do with COD Ghost.
GoW was advanced even on the Xbox 360 engine.
I get excited just thinking about it.

Why would they stop with these titles? They are more and more successful with every release.

They are popular titles and in turn will have a lot of people wanting to buy the console. It makes complete sense that they are doing this

Uhh, not really. Halo 4 was bad. Gears Judgement was horrid. Horizon was decent at best. They need to just stop and make some original and new. I can guarantee that titan fall will turn into a yearly release if it's even remotely successful.

Recycled games? I think you mean a recycled PS3 which you will be playing.
