Gears of War Could Make it to PlayStation 4
We've seen this headline time and time again before, but it's never come to anything. The relationship between Epic and Microsoft on Gears of War has been fruitful for both parties, but the hope that the sci-fi shooter would someday make it to Sony consoles has been around as long as the PlayStation 3 has.
