Gears of War as…an Interactive Drama
No one would’ve thought that Borderlands would make a good interactive drama, yet Telltale proved them wrong. It stands to reason that they can do the same thing with Gears of War. This can be another game set during the Human/Locust War. Marcus Fenix’s father, as it turns out, has done a good amount of sketchy shit in the lead up to his official appearance in Gears 3, not limited to shelling a museum and cutting off fuel supplies to millions of neutral citizens.
As such, it makes complete sense to focus a Telltale style game on him. Hypothetically, it could cover his life, showing how he met his wife Elain, tried to raise Marcus on his own and failed at not being like his father, along with trying to establish peace with the Locust. All of these are foregone conclusions, sure, but that doesn’t take away from the fun of it all.
