Epic vice president might hint at Gears jumping to PS4?

Adam Boyes, who does Publisher & Developer Relations at PlayStation, will be meeting with Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida, as he says in a tweet. But, replying to this tweet, Mark Rein, the vice president and co-founder of Epic Games, steps in and tells him to play “some Gears of War” with Yoshida.

@amboyes @yosp you guys should play some Gears of War!

Weird? We hear you. As always, until official word is out, rumors of Gears of War making the jump to PlayStation 4 run wild. A very possible scenario, since the IP is not owned by Microsoft, but by creator Epic Games.

My personal opinion is that Gears has run its course. If Epic is indeed going to make a game for PS4, I want a new IP. I dont want more Gears!! I enjoyed playing them on my 360, but the story is over. A fresh new IP to start a new console generation is the best bet. Let the new game forge its own identity and establish a new fan base.

Indeed, by Gears 3 it was tired, and Judgment was straight-out an insult. Epic has the ability to make a good new IP (Bulletstorm was under-developed and could be much better, but still mindless fun IMO), and shouldn’t stick with Gears. Plus, I don’t know if the PlayStation guys would receive Gears easily. One of the 360′s flagship franchises wouldn’t sit well with them, would it?
