In the world of Xbox 360 shooters there’s Gears of War and then there’s everything else. Some may argue that Halo is the superior shooter, but fans of Quake, Duke Nukem and Doom, know all too well that Gears is where the action’s at. At next week’s Game Developer Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, the Redmond camp is expected to unveil Gears of War Kinect and possibly a Windows 7 Kinect SDK.
A Gears of War Kinect title is definitely in the works according to a report from Kotaku. The Gawker gaming site claims sources close to the Gears of War Kinect project say it’s definitely on the cards and is a rails shooter. The game was apparently planned for a reveal during the Spike TV Video Game Awards last year but was pulled at the last minute.
The report also notes that Epic Games grabbed a new trademark, Gears of War: Exile, recently which could point to the plans for a Gears of War Kinect title. Let us know: would you be interested in Gears of War Kinect if it was restricted to rails?
