Why would they want to do that? Millions of 360 owners are Gears fans, it's been as important at times to the 360 success this gen as Halo.
A new Gears series next gen a few years down the line would be huge.
Microsoft making at least four new IPs

Nice find. Now THIS is exciting...as long as it's not Kinect Sports 3.
Well Major Nelson recently Tweeted"Welcome to March". Could it be that MS may actually announce something this month? Maybe nothing at all...

Here. But that's beside the point, even without that we know that Microsoft has at least four new core IPs coming, one from Lionhead, at least one from Rare, one from Black Tusk, and one from Crytek. The OP just serves as an introduction into a more general discussion about the future of Microsoft's first party.

Remember guys, whatever we see at this Microsoft presser isn't representative of anything and will in fact see a noticeable downgrade before release.
Read the thread and enlighten yourself.

Im kinda happy they banned that troll lol
Shit just got real.
What? Oh the Thurway comment that you keep passing off as fact. Even though others told you that MS will give target spec to developers that they will want them to hit.
You don't go from developing on a highest possible settings and then downgrade it - you have the extra power to simulate other items such as the DME's etc. and to be used for debugging.
I think he is being sarcastic.

there is nothing stopping gamers from buying the system the game appears on. that is sort of the point of exclusivity.
I'll never understand why people are SO against buying all the consoles, especially if there are titles on each system worth playing or they're interested in.
Oh....

See...
Indeed. Perhaps I shouldn't make it so subtle or at least reference the post in question so people don't assume I'm being serious.
I do sincerely hope he clarifies that comment though, will be interesting to see what lies spew forth.
It has happened to me before: sarcasm doesn't translate well on forums.
I questioned it at the time, and still do now.

Well maybe you'd get more enlightened discussion if the OP was updated with better information when the first page gives no indication that credible information ever surfaces. It's a bit unrealistic to expect every single person is going to read through 2000 posts before commenting. Just a thought.

Yeah. Hopefully I don't throw up in my mouth when they unveil it. Don't let us down Rare.

There's been a lot of info posted in this thread, I didn't start the thread as it was split off from another topic by a mod, I wasn't even the person who originally found the info presented in the OP. I have said before I don't intend to go through this thread and update the OP with info as it's not something I'm interested in doing, but I have offered to paste in a summary if someone else wants to put it all together, and I've also suggested someone else start up a new thread. Even tried getting the OP swapped over to another member but the mods said it's not possible.

Just use AutoPager, keep scrolling down til you have all pages of the thread open in one tab then Ctrl+F TheOddOne. That'll give you most of the recruitment posts in the thread if someone wants to look/gather them for a more informative op. I was about to attempt it, but I'm leaving the house soon.

Is there any reason why their next game wouldn't be Kinect Sports 3 to show off the supposed new accuracy of Kinect 2?
Doug Heffernan

Because Kinect Sports was passed down to Big Park...
which may have been passed down to another studio (Good Science?)
since Big Park is working on a new character-based IP according to job listings.
Rare was just as involved with KS2 as Bigpark was, if not more.
We know for a fact that they're working on something kinect-related. Taken from Linkedin:
They could be working on KS3 in addition to whatever all those racing devs are working on. Or it could just be optional kinect support in a completely new title.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Whisper it quietly: Maybe Rare has more than one project on the go. Judging from the tweet we shouldn't have to wait long to find out.
It's just as unrealistic for every single person to jump in a thread as far along as it is and claim that MS fans are 'grasping at straws'. Read the thread and you might be enlightened if not the discussion will be fine regardless.

It's such an odd and nonsensical remark to make. How does such a thing even happen outside of there only being target renders and tech demos?
We've seen RARE have already commented on getting a demo ready, undoubtedly for an event/presser Microsoft have planned, so it throws his entire claim into the realm of utter bs/lies.
If the demo looks a lot better than what was shown at Sony's event then I will start to believe him, but I doubt it.

Need to know the real final spec first
Plus not surprised if the PS4 KZ demo only used 1.5GB VRAM rumor is true

Reading the last two pages would've been enough for you to see that it wasn't just baseless speculation. Instead you chose to act like a dick.

And with that, you have disqualified your entire argument. Pointing out a single company about an industry wide practice makes your agenda very clear and proves you are incapable of an objective discussion.

Get the fuck out of here with your baseless accusation. I made the point that the OP was thin with credible information and that if anything else had came to light that it should updated.

Um, what baseless accusation? You barged in here cockily accusing people of grasping at straws and questioning the validity of the OP just because you couldn't be bothered to verify it in the simplest way possible, by typing in a few words into a search engine. If there's anything baseless in the whole deal, it's your initial assertion.

I don't think any casual gamer would be willing to spend $300+ for it. I imagine they would try to cater to the gamers that make up the majority of early adopters.

Who were Wii's early adopters? What happens if you can get Durango for $99 or $199 paid upfront, accompanied by a subscription contract? The continuation of the Kinect Sports franchise is assured, and Rare will be involved in at least some capacity, the only questions are when and how.

wouldn't be surprised if MS included Kinect sports with every xbox that would be megaton
I don't know about megaton, but I wouldn't be surprised either.

Hexic 4D pre-installed on every hard drive.
Maybe it's you that should gtfo if you can't even bother to read the thread.
I think you ought to re read your post.
You came into the thread quite combative and derisive for no good reason. There is asking a question nicely and then there is acting like a jackass. This thread has been going on since 2-01-2013, it was split off by a mod and it's now past 40 pages. Do you think if the info in the OP was shit it would have gone on this long?
You could have gone about this so much better.
I'm going to bet they'll have some Kinect app games installed like that one where you can make those horrific creatures and the car dashboard bobblehead one.

Like Kinect Fun Labs? Those were okay for a while.
Yeah some of that stuff was good. Loved Air Band.
That could be something that could be expanded if the camera on the new kinect is better.

I came into the thread expecting to see something about what exclusives MS was working on, instead I see an OP with a single vague image, I scroll down and see a bunch of Kinect/FPS posts, and realizing I'm not about to spend 4 hours reading through 2000 posts I ask if there's a relevant link or other information since I didn't find anything in the OP (this is an internet forum isn't it, I can ask questions right?). Instead my "grasping on straws" comment is perceived as mocking by overly sensitive people and I get a bunch of grief for it, with the exception of REMEMBER CITADEL.
Sorry for merely asking a question.
Your first post included, " I gotta say, MS fans are really grasping at straws if this is exciting news for them to hear."
If that's not a deliberate troll attempt without bothering to read, I don't know what is.
Chalk this up to wild speculation, but this might interest some people.
Recently Rare hired this guy, he works as environment artist for them now. Usually to get hired an artist has to do a "art test" in a given time by the company.
In his portfolio, he posted a test:
A) "Art Test for an AAA games company"
B) He has not worked for any large company, he just finished school.
C) Could be for a freelance job, but he has noted where he has done it (like art test for Splash Damage)
