Oh God. facepalm
Way to make my day suck, Kazenji.
Oh God. Epic, keep that woman away from the ****ing series.
They might not have too, though. If this is a prequel, there's a good chance that a lot of the continuity she established in the novels will be overwritten. If that happens, she'll get bitchy and rage-quit from the franchise, just like she did with Star Wars.
It's official. The next Gears game is titled "Gears of War: Judgement" and the star isn't Marcus and Dom but Baird and Cole.
NUMBAH 83! That's right, the game's all about the Cole Train, baby! Whoo!
Because the gnasher and sawed-off wasn't enough, this time we'll have a 6+ barrel shotgun that can kill opponents all the way across the map!
This Cole and Baird side story sounds like it could've been DLC in Gears 3 even more to me now. I dunno, for some reason it just seems kinda hard to imagine them having a campaign that's as long and fulfilling as the kind with Marcus and Dom.

After hearing about People Can Fly taking over development of the Gears franchise, we got curious about who else involved with Judgment. When asked if she was involved with Judgment, author and Gears of War writer Karen Traviss told IGN, "No, I'm not working on Gears anymore."
There. Now quit whining.
