Gears of War 4 as The Hobbit?

And what, exactly, does 'this connected world' have in store for the series?

Gears of War 4 as The Hobbit?
You don't really need Epic Games design director Cliff Bleszinski to tell you that there's a reasonable chance of more Gears of War coming after the third title in the series launches. But what form will that continuation of the series take? And how much should we read into it when Bleszinski mentions The Hobbit?

Asked about a sequel by ripten, Bleszinski said, "Well, there's always the Peter Jackson route, right? Do The Hobbit or something like that. I mean, we're business people. Gears 1 and 2 sold about 6 million copies, so if this game comes out and, God willing, sells 8 or 10 million it would be completely dumb to not do another one, right?

"It's just business 101. So, I mean, the key is figuring out what's appropriate. What makes sense for this connected world that we're moving into? So, that remains to be seen. That's the million dollar question..."

That question about 'this connected world we're moving into' sounds a little loaded, too. Epic VP Mark Rein's very big on that...
