When asked about the once-rumored Gears of War tile, Gears of War: Exile, Epic Games design director Cliff Bleszinski went on record to confirm to GameSpot that while the title was once in development, it was later canned. No further details were revealed.
"Let's just bury the hatchet now," Bleszinski said in the interview. "Gears of War: Exile was an unannounced game that I can't give any details about that has since been cancelled." It doesn't get much more concrete than that.
This is a story that extends all the way back to January 2011, when Epic trademarked the title Gears of War: Exile. A logo for the game surfaced at the time, and many speculated that a canceled Epic press conference from December 2010 would have been the official reveal for Exile.
A rumor in the late-2010 months suggested that Epic was working on integrating Kinect features into Gears of War 3. Bleszinski later put that rumor to rest, but he suggested that Kinect functionality COULD come to the Gears-verse. Many speculated that Exile was to be an on-rails Gears shooter for Kinect, but that belief was never proven.
It's all moot now, what with Exile being officially confirmed as a canceled project.

My opinion on the gears of war franchise is that why stop? they could only get better. Im waiting to see how the story is going to be its always been through Marcus's perspective maybe his early years or an entirely new character i dont know. Im just saying that to get the fans excited and not add another gears to the series would be critical !

gears of war and kinect should not mix they should keep the old fashion controller i would not buy it if kinect was involved

I'm still confused on why there is a ban on talking about a game that was cancelled. If they're no longer making it couldn't he say a bit more, unless of course they're just taking it off rails and including it in GOW4. That could be a good idea.

I don't know what Epic was planning with Exile, but whatever it was must've been something they felt just wouldn't work. Which to me is a good idea.
I would rather them scrap an idea that may hurt the Gears franchise, then put a game out, just because Gears fans would want to see anything new from Epic.

Is it fair to say that the Kinect is a failure? One good franchise/two good games doesn't make it a success but I guess the sales might say otherwise. I'm so glad my only motion control purchase was the Wii and that was years ago.

calling it now: Gears of War+Kinect=dancing game.

No room for Games on Rails in this generation. Kinnect blows.
