Gearbox confirms 'War Hero' IP

You said "To be continued", but i think you could do something about the german Fallschirmjagers. That would be original! (is there any game at all with "personality" where you play as german infantry?)

WHERE IS THE BROTHERS AND ARMS SEQUEL?! You can't end a game with "To be continued" and then leave us hanging!!!

Come on Brothers in arms Bastogne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I'm no trademark expert but maybe they are reserving these names to stop another idiot studio from releasing another WW2 game. I mean looking at the titles I think they covered all possible angles :-) or it's just a publicity stunt so people can start talking about Gearbox.

Sounds good.

yay!

Another world war two ip... Gearbox I love you I think you guys are the bees knees and everything but WHY another ww2 game... Oh well good luck guys I'll be watching...

lol it seems like you have to go completely out of your way to come with an original title these days lol

To all those saying it sounds like a rip-off you have to think about it, there are a lot of games out there and the good names have mostly been used... "Commander, general..." etc. So of course it has to be re-used, same things happen with movies.

Hey! What about "can you take the snow" from BIA:HH ?? I thought that there is going to be BIA: Bastonge !! But it's ok! But it seems that Everybody are leaving the WW2 era!

Saw the title to this article "War Hero" and thought it was another addition to the Guitar Hero series. Imagine, instead of a FPS, you just have a M16-type perepheral with colored buttons, watch a video of someone else play'n/killin, and press the corresponding colored buttons (ala GH) for points. Whew.

Terrible names! And they sound like total CoD ripoffs... I reckon budged-priced Wii games designed to cash in on CoD...

Seems I'm not the only one who noticed these names aren't exactly original. "Brothers in Arms War Hero" in particular sounds like its been done before, not that long ago, by another famous company. Hopefully the game content won't be exactly the same as the names suggest - pressing multicoloured buttons down the side of a WWII rifle to rhythmically kill the Nazis who pop up on screen in the new, oh-so-unique, gearbox production.

@Chrysus There'll a lawsuit if it's a light gun shooter. xD

'Modern War'? 'Hero'? I can smell an Activision law suit being brewed up.

El-Oh-EL

Just keeps getting worse. = S

War Hero? It's like Guitar Hero, only with plastic guns?

HEY GAMESPOT, THE MUSIC IS A LITTLE TOO LOUD IN THIS VIDEO! Anyway, the game looks fabulous and becuase of this interview I am going to put this game on reserve the next time I visit the gamestore. Nice clip

ok...

War Hero: Bolt Thrower I like that title. I'd buy it if it were a music game. I usually hate music games.

"War Hero"? Isn't that essentially Call of Duty?

I wonder if they'll get accidental sales from people who think "War Hero" is a music rhythm game featuring the band War.

Wonder if they are gonna rename this game as Borderland of Heroes

Looks like they have potential. in the mean time i will be playing Borderlands on day 1. Oh yeah and to everyone that calls them bad titles, just think how long it will be untill they are realeased so they will probobly be name changes. So wait "Modern War Hero" will be modern times. WW2 Hero and BIA Hero will be WW2 games. So what will War Hero be?

Wow, Borderlands is looking amazing. Haven't really looked into it that much since the graphics change. It is looking awesome!

First Michael Jackson and now a new BIA :( Hello Gearbox? Randy Pitchfork? Are you listening? We've moved on from the flanking maneuver/cover stuff! Leave Fritz alone! 3 games and they couldn't get it right! No more!

Lol,just don't try to trademark Guitar Hero,that's taken x)

And this comes just days after saying they want to see Activision drop CoD in favor of originality.

so many games......quality will be bad

woo hoo.. the first hasn't even come out yet and I'm already lookin forward to War Hero: Van Halen

does it use a corpse peripheral?

can you play it with the guitar hero peripherals? melt nazis' faces off with epic solos plz?

Those titles just don't sound right.

how about ya'll just make another brothers in arms game instead, it would just be better for everyone involved....and I want to play the next BIA game, but that's not the point.

What next Macs Pain or Platinum Gear Solid or Minor Theft Auto Sam and Rea.

@ Robfield Except that those are just placeholder names. Do you really think Gearbox is going to release a game with the title Modern War Hero? lol Talk about reading into an article a little to much lol

"War Hero" and "Modern War Hero" sound like blatant attempts to tap the "Hero" and "Modern Warfare" franchises. Didn't a Gearbox rep just the other day complain that CoD and Halo developers were not innovating? And Gearbox follows up with another war game?

Mocking Activision ftw.

Sweet. Lol.

I could totally see Activision doing a War Hero A mix of GH and CoD. Oh **** I just gave them an idea :(

Hero Heroes 3: The Hero of Heroes

If they release a game called Brothers in Arms Hero I'm going to be very upset. Come on Gearbox, show some imagination.

war hero? i honestly thought this was activision's new ip, maybe a battle axe controller?

seriously?? so when does tony hawk's hero or world of warheroes come out?? or maybe diablo hero?

Dumb names, hopefully knowing gearbox the games will be good.

Eh, I have faith and should everyone else once their two upcoming games come out.

is that whats hot right now? adding HERO to titles?

@taylormadederek, play Brothers In Arms Hells Highway, that was an amazing WW2 Game Made By Gearbox

Oh wow, from the title I assumed there would be a gun controller with colored buttons that we have to push at the right times to destroy tanks.
