not really a popular direction...

still a slap in the face to the vets that the game was based on...they really need to drop that Brother in Arms title and just call it Furious 4...

They should remove the Brothers In Arms name and just call it The furious 4. It really is a disservice to the Brothers In Arms franchise and I won't be going anywhere near it.

Using the franchise title like this just doesn't seem like it keeps with the trend of the series. The only thing this game has in common with its predecessors is the era. This reminds me when the Battlefield franchise tried to cash in on the "class-system" craze.

Not a big fan of the series, but I think the game looks fun, but should drop the Brothers in Arms from the titles. It just doesn't belong there.

You won't be seeing Brothers In Arms: Furious Four anymore, developer Gearbox announced at their PAX Prime panel today. They haven't canceled the game, though. They've just changed it so much that it's now an entirely new game.

In 2011 Ubisoft's Nourredine Abboud admitted to Kotaku that the publisher and Gearbox had at that point run out of ideas for what to do next in the series, but Ubisoft was insistent at the time that it wasn't going to go four years between Hell's Highway and the next Brothers in Arms release. The romping, comic-booky cooperative shooter in Furious Four is what they settled on.

True to their word, Gearbox revealed today that the evolution has expanded so far from the original title that they've decided to turn it into a new IP and rename it. There's no word yet on a release timeline or what that game is going to be called.

This doesn't mean that the most astute of Brothers in Arms fans won't recognize the details left in from the franchise. There are still references in this new game, perhaps even some skills that are descendants of those in Furious Four. But the team has taken the game into such a different direction that it no longer resembles the franchise they were initially iterating on.

Gearbox's Randy Pitchford told me in a meeting that when the game re-emerges it won't be a Brothers in Arms game at all. He explained that by unshackling themselves from the Brothers in Arms franchise the team was able to go wild with new features. Pitchford mentioned Borderlands 1's combination genre—half first-person shooter, half RPG—and hinted that this new IP will also venture into a hybrid genre path, though he wouldn't speak to what exactly that will be.

I read this today too. I'm glad that Gearbox decided to drop the Brothers in Arms name from that game.

It looked horrid.
