I am not sure whether this is even called a teaser. It’s actually far worse than a teaser…a blurred image of a concept art work from next Gears of War from Xbox One. I am sure Black Task Studios can do better than that. After all, Rod Fergusson is only merely teasing what looks like environmental art work. Come on Rod…you could have alteast switched off the blur.

In a live stream on Twitch, Rod Fergusson assured that the multiplayer in the next Gears of War will be all about intensity and responsibility. Furthermore, he also revealed that the game will stick as closely as possible to the series canon, after all we don’t want another Gears of War: Judgment.

He also claimed that new game will be the best Gears game ever. The next Gears of War promises to be one of the biggest games at this year’s E3. Given that the game is in early planning stage, it remains to be seen whether Black Task Studios will show any gameplay footage.

What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments section below.

Halo 4 and Gears of War on Xbox One are very similar. And by similar I don’t mean they have the same gameplay mechanics but both of them have been transferred from the original developers to new ones. 343 Industries took over the mantle from Bungie and went on to develop Xbox 360’s most successful game in Halo 4.

Black Tusk Studios faces the same challenge. However the studio’s general manager Rod Fergusson believes that they can learn a few things from 343 Industries.

“It’s a great model. I would be lying if we didn’t say that was an interesting model to look at and I feel, as a fan of the Halo series, they were successful with Halo 4,” Fergusson said to OXM.

Black Tusk’s faces a challenging dilemma of pleasing the Gears of War community, but they are more than ready for it. “That’s going to be our big focus, doing right by the fans and the community to show that Black Tusk understands Gears. You have to do it right before you do it differently.”

The next Gears of War will debut at this year’s E3. Be sure to stay tuned for more news and updates.

People have been complaining that Microsoft have not made enough game changing announcements to make people want to buy the Xbox One, but it seems like they’re finally beginning to build up some momentum. News on both fronts- first party and third party- is going to arrive very soon, promises MS, and the former will arrive before the latter does.

“Without sharing too much I’ll just say been focused on a lot of internal work stuff last couple of weeks,” Microsoft Games Studios boss Phil Spencer said on Twitter. “You’ll hear more soon.”

However, says Spencer, if you’re waiting for any major third party announcements for the Xbox One, you might have to wait till E3 at the very least. “Any news on third party relationships would have to come at E3,” Spencer said.

What do you think this internal news could be? Will we finally learn what the new Halo is about? Or will Microsoft let us in on what Black Tusk is doing with the Gears of War series?

We don’t know yet, but we’ll sure keep our eyes peeled for any info out there. Stay tuned.
