Not me and not Javy. We’re merely pointing out how the community talked about it before. Also saying how it has to happen.
If we gonna will this game into existence is needs to be three things:
-
A nihilistic dark comedy with a completely different color scheme than past Gears games. It needs to be overly bright and colorful with lots of neon colors everywhere. Capture a “James Gunn” sense of flair and new style of action and over-the-top moments that border on cheesy. I want it to be a borderline parody of Gears.
-
Gibb system for your Carmines. Each Carmines death needs to be horrific and hysterical at the same time. Each Carmine also has 1 free “Cheat Death” moment in which your Carmine is saved from death once, in a hysterical over the top way. Think like when a DM has to save a party’s ass from TPK and just starts pulling random bullshit out. However, once a Carmine has cheated death, the next time they got into a down state, it’s time for hysterical horrible death time. Like Carmines being ripped in half, squahed under foot, eaten alive, lancer executed limb-by-limb. Horrible, gruesome, yet so over the top hysterical.
-
Also the game will feature a “Hall of Carmines” that will tell you hysterically and mean-spiritedly how each Carmine died.
Example: Rodrigo Carmine was stepped on by a Corpser like the little piece of shit he was. He won’t be missed except by the Carmines.
- Also while being a rogue like, the game retains each game state when a new Carmine enters an area, so you don’t have to rekill everything. It’s more like a semi-open world Gears game with rogue like elements. You can also find the Carmine Caches ™ of where you past Carmines died so you can pick up their loot and supplies.
Make my fucking game Coalition.
I will say March 2023 for Avowed.
That’s what I’m thinking too. Can’t wait.
and fable closes the year and an insane 12 month span where xbox drops Starfield, Avowed and Fable in a row.
But how am I gonna have time play avowed for the 10th time
Havent brought it up this time but its hilarious how people can say Fable late 2024 when it started work in 2017 but IO will launch Project Dragon by 2024
Considering IOI literally had to create a new team for project dragon as well… lol
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I would add Bethesda on this list. TES and Fallout are one of the biggest Xbox franchises now.
Along with Ghostwire Tokyo and Hellblade 2 in the six months between Avowed and Fable.
I don’t think the Project Dragon game is releasing until 2026.
I’m not stealing anything!
I doubt it’s coming then.
Just going to give me another easy win here. Cant wait
True Arkane, ID, BGS, MachineGames are all top notch too.
Gamepass will come on top
Keep a close lookout for studios with the best writers - Doublefine has now proved that they have writing skills that are probably the best, and the other studios that pride themselves on writing are Obsidian, Compulsion and BGS.
There are two studios with the best level design now - Arkane Austin and Arkane Lyon. (Yeah, I know - they are the same, but I love Arkane)
But who will be the best is going to be up for grabs:Obsidian having the culture, the cadence, the team size, and the talent all locked in – probably has the best shot. And the Playground Fable team is gearing up to be the most talented of the lot.
Obsidian is one of the few studios (besides Kojima) who will not grow the size of their team too much, as they believe in their current size + maybe a few more.
Wait until you see my pitch.
