Is this like Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, and InFamous 3: Carnival of Blood, where it is essential an expansion pack or dlc that you don't need the original game to play? Or is it a proper sequel?

I'm just curious whether it is a "real" game with a 10-12 hour campaign, or a smaller truncated experience like the two games I referenced above. It's only been a year since GEARS 3 after all.

so you are asking if its like ODST? No its a full campaign/game.
EPIC says that baird didn't get really any story in 3 so they wanted to do a prequel that stared him as the leader of kelo(I think it was called) squad.
the difference between this and ODST is that ODST is just a worthless $60 expansion this will be an entire campaign.
It may have been originally intended for DLC and they decided it would work better as a full game.
Im gonna play it. The only problem/reason people our thinking less of this is because its been announced so soon. had it been announced next year I doubt a lot of the "this is just an extended DLC" thoughts would even exist. Before anyone judges the game give it some time and see what up with it. It was only recently announced.
EDIT: though I really don't like epic games but I enjoy the Gears series and have to much time invested not to get the game IMO.
Regardless, the timing of Judgement's announcement kinda made it evident that it was already in production around the time (if not like the same time) Gears 3 was, which led to people thinking of it as an extended DLC of some sort.
Honestly, I'll feel rather jipped if Judgement happens to explain the uncertainties (or ties up the loose ends/plotholes) that many players had with Queen Myrrah, which should have been addressed or covered at some point in Gears 3 in the first place (like whether she's really human, locust, or some kind of hybrid between the two, how she was still alive right before Marcus stabbed her, etc.), instead of leaving people confused about her and for them to wait to explain it in a prequel.
There's some more info on this game in the new Game Informer such as the setting, It takes place at Halvo Bay a place that the locust have targeted shortly after E-Day. Halvo Bay is home to the Onyx Guard academy
also mention that there's going to be alot more enemies on screen, I can that working out if people have played People Can Fly's other games.

I get that which is why I mentioned previously that It may have started out as DLC and they decided they wanted to just turn it into a whole game. Like I said though had they waited longer before the announcement nobody would have even thought that.
Well I doubt we will get much answered maybe somethings. If you remember from the past games baird even made mention that she looks human but didn't know what she was and in 3 when adam fenix said he knew about the locust coming before the war began and baird went crazy so he clearly had no idea. Since this game fallows him as the main character I really doubt to much about the queen and such will be brought up. I believe it will show the fall of the onyx guard and Halvo Bay.
Gears 1 had the hardest boss on insane! Gears 2 was kind of unfulfilling with it's difficulty. Gears 3 I felt re captured the difficulty of 1 in some spots though the final boss wasn't as hard as RAMM imo. But Gears of War has always been a title that I have known for having a hard campaign on Insane! So I would expect no less from judgment!
the achievement for Insane on Judgment will be added to my most proud of earned achievements! Unless the end is as easy as gears 2....
