Everyone came down heavily on Gears 1 because it "didn't have a story" but it didn't need cinematic every 5 minutes because the pacing was perfect.
Things got dicey when they started adding "story".

The only way this game should end is with a final cutscene of Marcus and Dom escaping on one of the last ships to flee the burning city as the worldwide Hammer of Dawn strikes mentioned in Gears 1 begin and destroy what remains of the surface

I've only one question - Why the fuck?
So you started the new storyline, new characters and character arcs, changed the old formula, shacked up gameplay, gunplay and combat encounters to make it all far better and for what? To not finish the work you've done and go back to the ancient design of the old trilogy and much less likable characters with huge shoulders, square chins, cover based and boring gameplay in concrete jungles.... AGAIN? JFC. NO!
I don't like any of the characters in original trilogy and not a fan of boring af cover based gameplay, boring combat encounters in concrete jungles when you most of the time sitting under cover. Who asked for this? I mean, we haven't seen the gameplay but I can't imagine it'll be any different from the first trilogy, not to mention level / combat design and encounters. Gears 4 was shit, I forced mysref to finish the game just to see the story. Gears 5 was the best Gears game I've played with much more likable characters and even much better Marcus.
Goddamnit. FUCK!

I'm not sure if or how they will bring back Cole, Baird, and Anya. They could insert sections of the others doing their own thing elsewhere on the planet I guess but I feel like that would be awkward and not advance Marcus and Dom's story in any way.

Gears 5 plays nice, but isn't anywhere close to the original trilogy. "Likable characters" lol what? JD is whatever but we have the story centering on Kait who is a perfect example of people not knowing how to actually write a strong female character. She is a woe is me, I don't care what anybody is going through because I'm going through stuff, do what I say or GTFO character. She had promise, and I liked her at first but she ended up being terrible. Then you have whatever the fuck his name is that just sucks Kaits dick the entire time and tells her that its okay when she hides things from people because it's her but when others like JD do the exact same thing it's not okay.
Hey it could be worse. She could be Spartan Locke.

Gears 4 and 5 are by far the worst in the series. They almost killed the franchise.I've only one question - Why the fuck?

We've had enough of these colorful, semi-open world games with female leads.
Fuck that.
Bring back the horror and testosterone. The brutality, bleakness, grittiness, tight corridors that made part 1 a masterpiece. Up the graphics 10x, add real destruction, and make the enemies fucking fearful again. This sounds like the real Gears of WAR

You are litterally the reason Gears has been trash and the multiplayer has died. OG gears was about tactical pacing and position. Not boring COD run and gun bs.

lol the developers wisely realized that everybody hated girlboss 5 and they couldn’t keep going down that path.

[Microsoft]You want to take back everything you did [with Gears 4 and 5]but you can't.
And when you say that [this is the new Gears] all the memories they come back, they come back, they come back.
They come back, They come back, they come back./

The devs said they're not done with that story and they will come back to it eventually.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
- This is a video game from the Gears of War franchise
- 14 years before the first game
- Gears 4/5 story will be revisited after this
Ok, joke aside. E-Day is Emergence Day in the Gears lore, that is when the Locusts started to burrow out of the ground to attack the planet. At that point in the lore, two big 'factions' of the world are having their own war so they are caught off-guard by the new monstrous threat and have to set aside their own war to fight the Locusts.
They've said that they plan to make even the regular grunt level enemies be bigger threats in this game since at this point no one has seen them, or is ready for them. Hence 80% of the trailer is Marcus getting his ass kicked by a single grunt.

No more robots is all I can ask for. Locust being 100% real this time is wonderful.
So its a nonsense BS trailer made by Blur probably using maxed out UEV's pathtracer.
Same. Super disapointing.Hype deflated a bit

Marcus and Anya already know each other at the time of E-day.
That war between COG and UIR had ended right before E-day, six weeks before if I am not mistaken. Which doesn't mean that the humans aren't caught off-guard of course.

For added context, this isn't what happened. JD got his entire squad killed at the beginning of the game by going against orders and utilizing a super weapon that wasn't ready and fully tested, thinking he was an untouchable solo Nathan Drake-esque action movie hero who could handle it, and was rightfully reprimanded by everyone (including Marcus) for doing so. He treated his comrades like expendables with zero regard for their lives, something Marcus would have never done in the original trilogy.
He got shit from everyone for most of the game, he humbled himself, and he started being a better team player like Marcus told him to be, when it finally mattered in the end.
This is why that ultimate choice in 5 would make more sense for it to be him. Unfortunately, they didn't do enough character development for Del (which could theoretically be fixed in 6) and fans want JD to be the choice, with you guys not knowing that you're denying all of us the chance to see an enraged Marcus in 6.

Dude gotta be trolling.
I'm just curious, so we're talking a gears eday release in what? maybe 2 to 3 years? then what another 3 to 4 years for the gears 6? I rather them just come out with a book about Gears 6 at that point
Nope, Geoff is either salty or pissed at Microsoft as usual. We've all known for years Geoff is a Sony fanboy:

Wasnt expecting this but realy happy with it. I have played all Gears games and always thought of a game around E-day. I did enjoy Gears 4 and 5 but it just wasnt the same as the original trilogy. I wonder whats going on with the rumored Fenix remaster collection though ? The rumors have been about for a few yrs now, I wonder if there holding it back to release maybe next yr with E-Day 2026, maybe its just more leaker bullshit but I still hope for it.

well "in-engine" means nothing and since we`ve seen zero gameplay this game probably doesn`t exist in any even remotely playable form at the moment...sooo.... 2+years away at least.
All in all .....why even show this when there`s nothing to show yet?

Because it's MS? They always show games which are canceled, 6-7 years away, or both
But this is Gears, it WILL eventually come out. It might end up being for PS6 but it WILL be played by us. Someday.
Why does it say in engine footage?
Because Blur Prerendered it inside UE5 most likely with its built in Pathtracer with maxed out settings. In engine 99% of time equals prerendered. Its a trick.

Trolling?, been playing gears since gow1, played every release. Most people who are fans of the franchise want them to go back to its roots (gears 1-3) . New gears Story is boring and cannot hold a candle to 1-3, atmosphere and gameplay doesn’t feel the same, just not enough slow horror vibes and they feel to clean (gears 3 was peak). I don’t see how you can dunk on old gears while it was superior in every way and setup the modern takes. Only thing I would say is one’s gameplay may be a bit dated these days but was generation defining when released.

Who the hell is Jamir Blanco? And unless they work at Blur or know someone who worked there on this presentation. I wouldnt put too much stock in what they say. The video said "In Engine" not realtime. Devs dont skip the opportunity to say realtime when its realtime.

It wasn't realtime.All in real-time

This is kind of a bit of fluffery.
Sure it was rendered in "real-time" most likely on a machine designed for offline rendering for major blockbuster movies. Then there's the added notion of calling it real-time when technically we are just seeing a video anyway. so what exactly is real-time, just because it was running on an engine when they hit record doesn't mean it's indicative of a video game.
To be clear I don't care that Blur made the trailer, nor that they are open about it. But that tweet acting like "No AKSHUALLY" is a bit silly. Just semantically alone it's not real-time what we are seeing anyway. I understand CG is a hot-button topic but at the end of the day, we didn't see an Xbox playing a game.

It was "in-engine", but yes that means Unreal Engine and you can perfectly render out path tracing frames in there that calculate for hours, so the probability you are right is 99,9%

He extrapolated in-engine to mean realtime, he admitted as much in the comments.
