Smart to abandon their Gears 4-5 shitty characters

I was so worried Kait Diaz would girlboss her way into the Cutscene and save Marcus

 

[Shubh_C63]

The gore in the trailer gives me hope.
So glad for Game Pass on this.

Im early and would already put it above 3 and Judgment.

I found the first act of Gears 4 particularly exciting, even though not much is happening there. Everything is clean and peaceful, sun is shining, no encounters except for the occasional guard bots.... but as the player I know that something horrible is probably going to happen any moment.

Judgment is Gears gameplay with Painkiller pacing - as a spinoff I liked it a lot, but I wouldn't compare it to the mainline entries.

Its just cool after 4 games of similar stuff to see such a great art style and lore change. And they still pay respect to the past. I was expecting it to be bad but its pretty awesome. Anyway ...

Yeah all that sounds exactly what i want from a Gears game. Sounds fantastic. Please don't be bullshitting.

 

[LordCBH]

Gears 4 probably IS the weakest entry

Not too sure on that one. I definitely felt it was all around better than Judgment.

Exactly.
As a Gears lore fanatic, part 4 and 5 feel like heaven. Wait until you progress further - you'll meet some old friends. And many of the collectibles tell small story-snippets or reference something from the past.

Yep, sorry my bad - I wasn't including Judgment in that statement.

 

[Punished Miku]

Lots of nostalgia too. Im just now going through all in a row so its all fresh for me.

I’m trying to decide if I want to do OG1 or the Ultimate Edition when I do my co-op playthroughs before the new one lol

 

[xrnzaaas]

Cool idea, but I need the Cole Train back.

Damn right!

 

[Goalus]

Damn right!

Seems impossible if Marcus and Dom meet him for the first time only 14 years later.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Struggling to find games that look better than concord

 

[Punished Miku]

Seems impossible if Marcus and Dom meet him for the first time only 14 years later.

Might cut to him separate doing his own thing.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Thank God, now don't fuck this up Coalition. Make it like old-school Gears 1-3 but with nice graphics and you have a winner

 

[MiguelItUp]

This may be the first Gears I play after 3. Didn't bother with Judgement, 4, or 5.

 

[Goalus]

Might cut to him separate doing his own thing.

Then maybe they could also include a section with Baird and Kilo squad.

 

[_g h 0 s t]

HYPE LEVEL: MIDNIGHT

 

[U n i o n 0015]

I always wanted them to explore the emergence, but I'm also disappointed that they didn't announce a Gears collection at the same time.

I really want to play Gears 2/3 on PC and Xenia is pretty hit or miss.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Even though this good news and exciting I just can't get excited when there's no gameplay

 

[DaleinCalgary]

looks good, lets see them try to put woke shit in that!

 

[Ristifer]

Might cut to him separate doing his own thing.

WOO!

 

[Gravemind]

Wow. Didn't think they'd go back to the OG but really happy they did. That was awesome.

 

[Brigandier]

The OGs!!! Any chance of Baird showing up wasn't he friends with Marcus and Dom pre Gears 1?

 

[unlurkified]

Not quite 2006 levels of hype, but dang. Loved how they incorporated a few notes from that OG trailer.

 

[K' Dash]

They could do whatever games they want about those 14 years.

I wonder I were going to see something about the Pendulum wars, since it starts way before E day, but ends right after it.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Legit teared up a bit watching that trailer… my old 360 days nostalgia!

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

How far away the E-day from the Gears 1?

 

[Goalus]

How far away the E-day from the Gears 1?

14 years

 

[Goalus]

Pendulum Wars end 6 weeks before E-day.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

THIS is exactly what the Gears franchise needed!!! A return to its roots. The Locust horse is back and the primary antagonist.

I'm amazed that I'm actually excited for another Gears game again. Never thought I would be. Great job to the dev team.

 

[VinnyMac]

Hopefully the collection and this comes to ps5 if not I will pick a cheap x up yo play this

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Legit teared up a bit watching that trailer… my old 360 days nostalgia!

Great days. 360 still the best Xbox.

 

[KyoZz]

This is cool and all but I want my Marcus Fenix Collection to finally play them on PC

 

[Dusktildawn48]

It's The Coalition, I wouldn't be worried about the graphics. The game will look damn close to that.. you can bet.

And gears 4 and 5 are 2 of the best optimized games of the past 10 years.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I preferred Gears 4 and Gears 5 over 2 and 3. The original is probably still the best imho. The sequels just got too bogged down in the stale formula that every AAA game was using during that generation.

Hopefully this keeps and expands upon some of the new things 4 and 5 introduced.

 

[lockdown2222]

I’m so excited for this. I’m glad they’re going this direction as it seems more logical and fun to see what happened on e-day to set the foundation for the full series as we have it today. Day one for me.

 

[ZehDon]

That's how you close out a show. When that Mad World sting landed... Good Lord. Please - for the love of all that is still holy - please be good.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Can’t wait to see them put these guys in jail. I was going to barf if they had another game with the gears kids.

 

[YuLY]

We are so back. Finally a game for real gamers, not some lil missy pushed for woke points and semi-open world barren areas.

I get the feeling from the tone of the trailer that they will also go for a more horror atmosphere like in the first game. My most anticipated game from the showcase.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

One of the greatest video game trailers of all time.

When he runs to grab the lancer and the mad world tune kicks in, reminds me of so much OG X360 marketing.

when Marcus sticks him with the blade end, I’m struck with that 2006 hope of Xbox coming back to defeat the PlayStation 5 locust beasts and put us back ontop

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

It's legit surreal, beyond surreal to think it's been almost 20 years since the first game.

But this is an idea I always wanted to see them do, it's great to be back.

 

[kingwingin]

they need to pretend gears 4 and 5 never happened and just focus on Marcus over the years before he went to the slab.

 

[gooner4life_uk]

Literally the best game announcement of this whole generation!

If this comes to PS5 i'll buy it three times.

 

[Vick]

This announcement and Trailer were straight out of a dream for me. The very best possible scenario they could possibly come up with, right here materialized.

Brought me right back to the 360 days when Gears meant excitement, in an instant. So extremely rare to feel like this these days, I really missed that.
Can't wait for gameplay, hope they keep up with the perfection showed here.

 

[ResilientBanana]

I’m in. Wow.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Love that they are going back to their roots. The series turned into a cartoon circus. This looks like the dark horror of the original

In this UE5? The shot at the end looked great

 

[WorldHero]

Nice, I thought they wouldn’t go back to the OG roots until they finished the last trilogy. Not mad at this decision, but I do wonder what the canon conclusion to Gears 5 will end up being in the future.

 

[Fake]

Please be good. Gears of War 3 was amazing.

 

[Rickyiez]

Dom arm strength is probably closer to Captain America than regular human .
