Holy crap, that would be so good. :O

MS playing their cards right, some would say it's only an HD remaster, but that's my kind of shit.

Plus that would be a LOT of content!

tell me more.
 
Yep. I know a lot of people have fond memories of Gears 1 multi, but Gears 3 in my opinion was a damn near perfect game. So much content and seriously every mode was sooo polished. Campaign, PvP, and Horde were all rediculous high quality.

I thought the lighting was stunning at times, Sandbar and Thrashball maps especially

Fuck I need this collection

the ability to join a gears 3 match and instantly load your character would be worth it alone.

Then playing guardian on all maps with a big fanbase oh god.
 
All three games with basically the MCC treatment? That would be worth the price. Even if the "remaster" is just making them 1080p/60. Part of it too is the convenience. Having access to ALL those multiplayer maps from one disc is extremely enticing to me.

I'd like this too mostly because I haven't played it yet and probably won't unless it ends up on current gen.

Would like them to be ported into Unreal Engine 4, improved lighting would be awesome.

Man, the idea of playing GOW1-3, preferably all with GOW3's movement and playstyle would be nuts. It would be more of a true collection if they all played like each respective game's playstyle, but there's no way in hell that I could go back to GOW2's slow-as-molasses movement. I played it from launch till GOW3's launch, but it's the worst playing Gears in my book. Best maps and the most maps out of them all, but boy was it the worst for me.

Playing on GOW2 maps with the GOW3 style would be heaven.

Another thing that I hope will happen if it does happen is that they make sure that all of the MP characters are in there too. GOW3 definitely nailed it with the tons of characters you could choose, which is one of the things l loved the most about the game. They left out certain characters though, like Skorge and a couple other Locusts though, and OG Hoffman for example.

Just re-read the franchise acquisition announcement:



What other reason would there be to do this unless it was something they were at least considering?

I expect this to happen, especially with MCC being their own initiative and also owned by them, but buying the rights to Gears would kind of imply that they own everything to do with Gears regardless. It's not like it was bought just for a remaster, and I don't think they would've bought the IP without owning everything to it.

If they ever gave Gears the same treatment Halo got then I'd need a new penis from my veins exploding. I doubt it would happen though.

Damn Phil, usually I'd say focus on making new games, but LOOK AT THIS THREAD. You can't ignore the love for the original Gears trilogy.
 
This will undoubtedly happen, but I wonder whether it will be a few months before Gears 4, or whether they'll put it out as a standalone tentpole release a la Halo MCC. I would guess Saber and Certain Affinity will move on to this after Halo MCC launches, as there are no more Halo games to remaster now, so I would guess MGS' attention will shift to Gears.

Reach, Wars, and ODST still need love.

I bought all the Gears when I bought a 360, it's what had me most interested in the console. Alas I know no one on the platform so I had no choice but to play with the AI partner. However a few chapters in when you get to a level in, which going into darkness gets you insta-killed by bat-things, Dom just keeps running into this one spot obsessively and gets killed by them.

There is nothing I can do about it, I played the section 10 times and it never changes. I literally cannot proceed. Ultimately killed my interest in playing the sequels.

So ultimately a collection on One interests me as I never played my 360 copies.
 
Since MS owns both now there should at least be small cross overs.
Such as the Crimson Omen as a emblem in Halo, or Master Chief inspired armored character in gears. I don't see a problem in small things like that.

I'm all for that type of stuff. I thought the Mass Effect/Dragon Age crossover armor stuff they had going on was fun.

That's an odd glitch and I've never gotten that before. You're in for a treat if you're going to be playing Gears 3 for the first time on Xbone...the game looks and plays the best in the series.
 
Puting all the mp maps from all 3 games in the gears3 engine would be a dream come true for me. Gears3 mp was my game of the generation. Sank 1000's of hours into it. I'm totally convinced that Black Tusk are working on it as we speak.
 
You know one thing I'd like to applaud Epic for is their handling of women in the Gears franchise. Its a hardcore gory shooter and yet the women are treated exactly like the men.

so much so that my wife who barely plays games got very invested in Gears 3 to the point she got the Onyx medal for all Horde modes. She loved playing as a female badass chainsawing through enemies.

Wish I could say the same about my wife. She's hated every single game in the series, can't stand to watch me play 'em with my buddies. It doesn't gross her out or anything, she just doesn't "get it".

Yeah my wife is not the hardcore gamer at all. In fact her favorite games are things like Dance Central.

She used to watch me play Gears 1 and 2 and didn't think anything of it but when she watched me play Gears 3 with major playable female characters she suddenly asked to play co op with me one day. She got completely hooked and to this day asks me constantly when there will be a new Gears game coming out. I find that pretty incredible and shows how important having strong female leads is in gaming.
 
Damnit just when I thought I had escaped Microsofts clutches, they are going to force me to buy an xbone.

Never heard of such a glitch, and I've beaten all 4 Gears games 100% complete.

Did you ever try choosing whichever that chapter was from the beginning instead of just reloading the checkpoint? That should probably fix that.

As someone who went PS3 only last gen, and picked up an Xbox One earlier this year, I'd love this. Hear great things about the Gears series so I would like to play them myself.

I hope this happens. I would buy a Bone so fast if they made this happen. They could get this out for fall 15 and that would allow for Gears 4 to hit in 2016, giving BT the time needed to make sure the game is an absolute monster.
