I have hard time believing that somebody else hasn't already made a thread on this, but I checked and didn't find one, but anyway Phil Spencer just retweeted something about a Marcus Fenix collection coming to Xbox One.

http://playbackgaming.com/2014/10/1...rcusfenixcollection-moves-into-the-spotlight/

Only moments ago, Phil Spencer jumped on Twitter and provided the Gears community with a very exciting retweet.



As we know, Phil Spencer doesn’t just retweet and old tweet, especially if it’s one regarding a subject that has been kept very hush hush. No news has been coming out of camp Black Tusk about the upcoming Gears of War instalment and no one seems willing to even discuss the possibility of #TheMarcusFenixCollection.

With one little press of a button Phil Spencer has not only acknowledged the movement again, but he has also given the Gears community a massive amount of hope that this means something is already in the works.

Are we on the verge of getting an announcement?

Is this Phil’s way of telling us not to fear that he knows what we want and he is working on it?

Only time will tell, but for the moment we are extremely optimistic that this is a strong sign that we are finally about to get our Xbox prayers answered.

Stay tuned as I will be sure to continue updating you on any further progress.

I mean this is not confirmation, but it's odd that he would retweet this.

Feed me to General Raam if old.

 

[Raide]

Same scale as MCC? Sign me the hell up!

 

[BakkaGames]

OH YEA

 

[iMax]

We covered it a bit here. Interesting times for sure.

 

[Nori Chan]

He also tweeted that it was a mistake to RT that...still hyped doe

 

[Alienous]

Can they port the games to Unreal Engine 4?

Because that'd be sexy.

 

[ScriptedReality]

Think I'd purchase the dude bro collection

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Please god yes. Would be so content-rich, even if it were just Gears 3. That game was THICK as FUCK, but add content from the other two in? I'd never come up for air.

 

[Broadbandito]

Hell ya, 1080p/60 fps and on dedicated servers (DEDICATED IS WORTH IT ALONE) fuck yess

 

[Miles Quaritch]

[OnionPowder]

If this is true I'd buy a one so fucking fast omg

 

[Alcoholikaust]

I saw Shinobi602's retweet this morning, cannot believe its not a thread as well-

would be a fantastic deal-

 

[RoKKeR]

Well I'd buy it. Wouldn't surprise me, give us something to play through while we wait for Gears 4.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I'd be shocked if this doesn't become a real thing.

 

[Leflus]

It was a mistake.

@SimonSlays @majornelson @aarongreenberg @blacktuskstudio @GearsViking Mistake on retweet, Love the passion for Gears but no announce.

 

[King Cobra]

That is awesome, I wish they brough Viva Pinata to the Xbox One

 

[V_Ben]

Yeah, it's bound to happen next christmas with some kind of gears mp beta.

 

[OnionPowder]

Hell ya, 1080p/60 fps and on dedicated servers (DEDICATED IS WORTH IT ALONE) fuck yess

Holy shit Gears with dedicated servers is like a dream come true

 

[legacyzero]

That's pretty awesome news, if true. Loved the trilogy.

 

[adamsapple]

It was inevitable .. but surely they can come up with a better name ..

 

[jacksepticeye]

So this will be the new thing then? "God of War: Kratos collection"

But that's cool, I'd love to play pimped up gears

 

[Novel Mike]

... Give me a date and I may end up getting an X1.

 

[Shari]

Same games?

The very least I would find acceptable would be a "remaster" like the one for The Last Of Us, and still, I wouldn't ever go full price for that.

Repacking and reselling at a full game price it's plain steal in my book.

Feels like this next gen is all about cross-gen games and repacks.

 

[DopeyFish]

i'd love to re-play the games at 1080p/60fps :>

 

[iMax]

#hollow

#lookatalldatjuice

 

[Alcoholikaust]

probably to get hype for Gears 4/ remake/whatever Black Tusk is doing

#coletrainWhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Mortemis]

It was a mistake.

It was a mistake to retweet it, as in its too premature. "No announce" just means it'll be announced later.

Get hyped.

 

[Pudge]

Day 1.

I hope these things catch on even beyond Microsoft. Imagine Activision releasing a greatest hits of CoD collection!

 

[Miles Quaritch]

It was a mistake.

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

It would be cool if it happens. It is, afterall, one of the most backed suggestions on the Xbox feedback site. Not to mention it just makes sense to do it.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Yeah, I'd buy that very quickly.

 

[Skilotonn]

My heart skipped a beat when I read the majority of the title in a blink of an eye.

Don't play with my emotions like that.

Don't even play.

Day one with that + Xbox One whenever that drops if true, whether my massive backlog for the 360 still exists or not. The same backlog that is the reason why I'm not even mad about going to the current gen yet.

 

[Super_Cobra]

That would be nice. I really don't like gears of war but my brother loves it and he will be happy to get this on the xbone.

 

[Surface of Me]

Holy shit Gears with dedicated servers is like a dream come true

Did you play Gears 3?

I have new hopes for Gears MP since as far as I know, someone else is writing the netcode. Epic should have fired the hack they had after Gears 2.

 

[iMax]

It was a mistake.

He sent pretty much that exact same line out when the Halo 2: Anniversary rumours were around, so who knows.

Holy shit Gears with dedicated servers is like a dream come true

Without host advantage though, I'm fucked.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

He also tweeted that it was a mistake to RT that...still hyped doe

I just checked his twitter and I don't see that tweet anywhere, but I still see the retweet.

 

[Shari]

i'd love to re-play the games at 1080p/60fps :>

Me too but do you think they'll do the work considering the work done with Halo?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I'd but an Xbone for this

 

[Leflus]

It was a mistake to retweet it, as in its too premature. "No announce" just means it'll be announced later.

Get hyped.

I want to believe.

Edit: I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I want Judgment in the collection as well.

I feel like the games in the Gears universe are more closely tied together than the games in the Halo universe.

Give me the option to play through every story mission in the franchise chronologically, and I will be a very happy man.

RAAM's Shadow -> Judgment minus Aftermath -> Gears 1 -> Gears 2 -> Gears 3 + Aftermath

 

[RetroStu]

Damn make this 1080p/60fps and i would definitely buy.

 

[Magnus]

This would single-handedly push me over the edge for an XBO. Barely played these games outside of GoW1, but loved them.

 

[dokish]

That would be a reason to get an Xbox One.

GIMME. Put a new standalone episode that happened between all that war and market it right.

[iMax]

Also, for the record, I'd love a Halo x Gears of War crossover game. I don't care about canon. It'd be damn fun.

 

[Netprints]

If it is done as well as the MCC i'll be in for it. Would be a good way to build hype and fan base for the next gears game.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Xbox Super Secret 2015

 

[GayForMaster]

Dedicated servers + gears? I think that's enough to pull me back into its mp.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Would make sense regardless this though.
Possibly This collection would be a quicker turn out then GeOW 5. Then much like MCC include a beta for 5.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

This needs to happen, one of my favorite series on Xbox 360. I'd be just as ecstatic over it as The Master Chief Collection. I mean, Gears 1 - 3. All MP Maps, on Azure Dedicated Servers. I am salivating at the thought.

 

[mbmonk]

I would pick it up if they gave it the proper treatment like Halo MMC. Dedicated servers would be a must. Though I think GoW 3 had dedicated servers already.
