[QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"]Everyone knew they'd eventually do a prequel to Gears of War 1 and this one isn't even being made Epic Games. LegatoSkyheart

judgement's not a prequel.

I would have preferred if they had just supported Gears 3 more instead, but Judgment still looks good. The class-based multiplayer should help make things feel fresh again.

It's milk in the sense that it's a cash-in, but in the long run this game should prove good practice for People Can Fly (who will inevitably be assigned the task of making a Pendulum Wars trilogy next gen).

They did already make Painkiller so perhaps they can twist Gears with that a little.

With God of War they're releasing a collection of a collection with another collection in one collection... In a year are they going to throw in Ascension?

So Sony releases sequels to 9 different IP's every 1 to 3 years that's not milking... However Nintendo releases a new Zelda, Smash, Metroid, Xeno, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, Pikmin, F Zero, and Fire Emblem every 3 to 11 years so...

[QUOTE="locopatho"] Neither is GOW. in 7 years there's been 3 games on consoles, 2 on handhelds. That's fine. People just call it milked cos Sony keeps releasing them and bundling them in different ways.LegatoSkyheart

No GOW is milked. Three collections have been released This generation, and one collection repackaged a major title for the franchise that was made THIS GENERATION.

It's not a bad thing love God of war, but you're blind if you think it's not milked.

If it's just repackaging the same 5 games to get new fans interested then how is it milking? Surely milking is when the same fans are buying rehashed sequels? I bought 2 GOW games last gen, and 1 this gen. (I don't have handhelds) That's literally every console GOW game there is... I'm not buying 3 different collections of the same games, that's for new fans. I mean you might as well call Platinum Hits/Xbox CIassics/Nintendo Selects milking as well, rereleasing the same games in a different box....

because theres still a good lot of Cole's story to tell.

Same could be potentially said for Killzone, i'd love to see a prequel and i'll always stand by the ideology if the milks good why complain.

Pretty much every Nintendo franchised has been milked so much that they were milking a dead cow years ago.

Milking the same franchises saves cost of developing new game assets. Ask Nintendo.

Explain

Zaibach

you had a point with R&C and GOW, should have quit while you were ahead.

Infamous , Resistance and Uncharted started this Gen which is 7 years old now. And Killzone only has 2 games this gen

How in the world did he have a point with GOW when only two of the games are even new games? I'm sorry, but I don't take collections or re-releases in to account when the subject of milking a series comes up. GOW only has two NEW games in the series this gen, one of which isn't even out yet. The only one he had a point with is R&C.
