Since we heard you loveGears of WarKinect rumors, here’s a doozy courtesy of the March 2011 issue ofOfficial Xbox Magazine: it’s not even a shooter.
In the magazine’s small “Crystal Ball” rumors box (across from a picture of energy-boosting beef jerky), the gaming psychics write: “What’s theGears of WarKinect game, you ask? The Ball suggests it could be a fatality-laden, COG-versus-Locust Thrashball spin-off in the vein ofMutant League Football.”
Well, okay then. We haven’t yet tried to check into the veracity of these rumors because now we’re thinking about how awesomeMutant League Footballwas. But it’s worth noting thatOXM‘s “Crystal Ball” has probably mentionedGears of WarKinect every month since the motion-controlled camera was released last November. So maybe they’re just running out of things to say about it and are making things up to see what crazy blog is going to report it. (Oh.)
Gears of WarKinect rumors has been strong since late last year, when Epic’s Cliff Bleszinski was set to reveal a “surprising” series-related announced at the Spike VGAs. The reveal was ultimately shelved, but that hasn’t stopped the speculation;recent reportspegged an early concept demo of the game as an on-rails shooter that re-usedGears of War 2assets.
