Gears of War FPS a possibility

A Gears of War game could one day be developed as a first-person shooter.

Epic Games executive producer, Rod Fergusson, discussed the possibility of a Gears of War FPS with OXM.

He said: “I’m a big believer in never say never. 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.”

Fergusson also spoke about upcoming Gears of War: Judgement, in development at People Can Fly studio.

He added: “Our Gears game was heavily scripted – lots of cinematics, big storytelling stuff. People Can Fly is very much about things in level with a high replayability because of the Smart Spawn System, which brought to it by changing the AI.

“So yeah, People Can Fly's campaign is a different campaign, but at its heart it’s Kilo squad, and Lancers and taking cover – it’s a Gears game.”
