Epic Games design director Cliff Bleszinski has revealed that Gears of War: Exile has been cancelled before it was ever announced for Xbox 360, as a Kinect-only game!

The since January 2011 rumored Kinect project is no longer in development at Epic Games.

To quote Mr. Bleszinski:

“Let’s just bury the hatchet now. Gears of War: Exile was an unannounced game that I can’t give any details about that has since been cancelled.”

What little rumor was going around about Gears of War: Exile, points toward it being an “on-rails Kinect experience”, instead of the third-person shooter mechanics the series is known for.

This video is a test of a fan playing Gears of War on PC using KINECTS with FAAST 0.07. It gives you a rough look at how it might have played with Kinect controls.
