Judgement drops March 2012
Gears of War: Judgment will see Baird and Cole head to the clink at some point in March 2013, according to Epic Games director of production Rod Fergusson. The news was revealed to G4's X-Play and confirmed on the show's Twitter account – apparently Fergusson wouldn't allow any more specifics about when the game's launching.
Gears of War: Judgment follows Gears main campaign side characters Baird and Cole as they deal with events preceding the Gears of War main trilogy. Polish studio People Can Fly is working on the title in collaboration with Epic Games proper.
I might actually have to pass on Judgement if they're coming out in March. I've already got South Park, Tomb Raider and Bioshock right in that month.
It seems clear to me that April is when GTA 5 is dropping because everyone else is trying to bring their shit out before then.
I'm wondering about that as well, although April doesn't coincide with Take 2's Fiscal Year 2012 - and their claim it would be out this fiscal year - if what I've heard is correct. That would be through March according to a couple of articles I've seen. However, if they're not going to announce anything until Gamescom, the November rumors would be nearly unattainable - unless they have the biggest marketing blitz known to man in mind. Any of the above is possible, but I'd have to say that one slips to early 2013.
Both GTA4 and RDR came out in April so i think that's why everyone is expecting GTA5 to drop then as well. It's almost comical to see the stack of games in Feb/Mar next year, it's worse than Oct/Nov. Between GTA and the new console announcedments presumably at E3 in June, everyone is trying to blow their wad in the first quarter because game sales will probalby be dead after that for this generation.
On the other hand, that probalby will mean that you can pick up games you had to skip because there were too many for the bargain bin price of 39.99 come june/july/august.
Update : From the Judgement panel at SDCC, March 19th is the official launch date.
It'll launch among these other huge games:
Splinter Cell (4/1)
SouthPark RPG (3/5)
Tomb Raider (3/5)
Bioshock (2/26)
Colonial Marines (2/12)
dammit. Gears AND Colonial Marines.....dammit dammit dammit. Better save my birthday & x-mas money then.
