Ken Lobb har fuld tillid til Black Tusks version af Gears of War
Frygten for at Gears of War-serien ville miste de fleste af sine kvaliteter, var stor da Microsoft oprindeligt fortalte at de havde købt den fra Epic. Meget af denne frygt forsvandt dog lige så hurtigt, da det blev offentliggjort at det ville være Black Tusk der i fremtiden skulle tage sig af serien - udvikleren har blandt andet Rod Fergusson ansat, og han har som bekendt tidligere været producer på netop Gears of War-serien.
I et nyt interview med Edge fortæller branche-legenden og chef hos Microsoft Game Studios, Ken Lobb da også at han har komplet tillid til den nye udvikler:
"They're an internal studio, but the reality is it's cool to have [an IP] that can be a grand slam right out of the gate. The concepts they've been toying with are awesome. You take what they were thinking about and their expertise on Unreal Engine 4, because that's what they've been playing with since their founding, and really go with the IP. Again, this was a mutually agreed thing. It's not, ‘Here's this thing you must take.' That's not the way Phil [Spencer] works; that's not the way we work."
Hvad tror I - kan Gears of War-serien bevare sine kvaliteter under den nye udvikler?
