Day Zero, ZERO!!

 

[Quantum253]

So announced during Xbox E3 showing. If it's not fully leaked by then.
Edit:
Or will PlayStation be making that announcement. Interesting to see how that plays out

 

[March Climber]

Gears 4, Gears: Judgment and Gears 5 will not be included.

I hope this means a split collection and not a full omission.

 

[Rush2112]

Notice how all skin shades/genders are represented in that banner. And who is in the forefront?

 

[Pop]

Whicha mean only

Should only be the first 3

I know you never respond to posts, but I hope you read this: That image is from Gears 5 and the entire cast is too.

 

[CrustyBritches]

I love Gears 2 horde mode. 1 and 2 are my favorite campaigns, but 3 isn't too bad.

Those are the only good ones anyway so that's fine with me.

 

[Fake]

Is funny the picture while exclude 4 and 5 lmao.


But 1, 2 and 3 are the only good one, so its OK.

[Lagspike_exe]

Hoping it'll get NG2 treatment, with a full graphical remake in UE5.

 

[LordCBH]

Will I buy these games again? Absofuckinglutely. No shame.

 

[NeonGhost]

Horde mode ?

 

[EverydayBeast]

Just started playing gears 5 it is good, so the only way possible of playing 4, 5 would be Xbox one/series s/x.

 

[RafterXL]

I imagine it will be two collections. They’ll drop this, then the prequel game, followed by 4/5 collection before they release GoW6.

Your plan sounds like a nightmare compared to simply boxing together Judgment, 4 and 5 for 69.99

Gears 6 isn't happening lets be real. They are soft rebooting it with E-Day.

 

[Goalus]

Gears: Judgment will not be included.

Nooooooo!

Maybe they will add this as DLC later?

 

[adamsapple]

It's a fan mock-up, and it has characters from the games that aren't even in the collection.

Take it easy lol

Well, we know the next game is a prequel, so it makes more sense to get out the first three games, get PS owners a chance to get invested. They’ve also claimed 6 is still happening after that so releasing 4-5 before it makes more sense.

If this were for Xbox fans you’d just release them all like the MC collection, but I think this is a lot more about PS fans and releasing them all at once is a bad move.

Gears 6 isn't happening let’s be real. They are soft rebooting it with E-Day.

Who knows. They did say they would revisit the current timeline after the prequel, but that doesn’t mean much.

 

[Killer8]

No Multiplayer.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

MS should marketing these ports as the second coming of Baby Phil. and release them physically too!!

Gears 6 will be out by the 2030's, i think it's just too late for a sequel to a game that wasn't even that big of a hit in 2019.

 

[Kings Field]

the first three are the only ones that matter. No multiplayer means they can wipe their asses with this collection.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Why would you not release Gears 4 from MS Store concentration camp, include it in this collection and make it available on Steam? I don't like this game gameplay, level, combat design-wise, but still...

 

[Fess]

I’m hoping it’s proper remakes and not just a rerelease collection. Gears 1 is among my fav games of all time, if they can push that up to UE5 with everything intact but properly upgraded visually to 2025 standards it’ll be a game of the year contender for me. It still holds up, minus the slow walk talks and invisible lines for new enemy spawns which is old school.
Perfect timing for Gears 1-3 too. No woke nonsense here!

It’ll be interesting to see how PlayStation-only fans react to these games, 2 decades of downplaying, can there still be some hype?

 

[poppabk]

Seems unlikely without a PC release also. I know the source is supposed to be inside Sony but lack of anything about PC makes this a little suspect.

 

[farmerboy]

Played one of them back in the day but cannot remember which one. Enjoyed it. I could be up for this.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I mean, if they do a good job with the port, then I'm in. 100%. I replayed Gears of War (but the Ultimate Edition) a few months back and probably loved it even more than I did when I originally played the game. in 2006. I do hope they include the original, because I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetic changes to Ultimate. I would love to play GoW 2 again, in particular.

 

[Physiognomonics]

1 & 2 were pretty good. I think this is a kind of game that will sell well on Playstation.

Yes this is def releasing on PC too. They just don't want to kill Playstation sales, not yet.

 

[HRK69]

No multiplayer is a big fail from their part

 

[Sybrix]

No multiplayer? Seriously?

That can't be true, these games are considered all time great games beacuse of their multiplayer.

 

[Skifi28]

So we were spared from both Judgment and 4, good news.

 

[Ozriel]

Notice how all skin shades/genders are represented in that banner. And who is in the forefront?

 

[dreamstation]

How is it a collection if it don't even have them all?

 

[N0S]

What kind of sad attempt is this. Gears been Gears. Sure they forced a female lead on to us but that shit failed and now were going back to the gritty bald space marine era we love with E-Day.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

How is it a collection if it don't even have them all?

It has the ones people care about from the 360 days.

 

[Skifi28]

How is it a collection if it don't even have them all?

I have a stamp collection. I don't have all stamps.

 

[Three]

How is it a collection if it don't even have them all?

Yeah, should have been called trilogy

 

[Badlucktroll]

what about the oblivion remake

 

[Joel Was Right]

Hopefully the store listing actually has 'CAMPAIGN' only because otherwise PlayStation Customer Service are going to get a lot of angry emails demanding a refund. You cannot launch an iP known for its multiplayer without specifying this

 

[David B]

Well that does it for me. I'm done with gaming PC and Xbox. Only sticking to Apple and Sony now for gaming. Nintendo has well way behind on graphics so that's why I don't like them. But beyond the whole Gears of War thing, gaming PC and Xbox have no point for owning at all anymore. Every single game I own on Steam I already own on a PS console, other than just 3 are PC exclusives. 137 of my Xbox games I already own or can buy on PlayStation consoles. 19 of them are still Xbox exclusive, but of course that number will continue to go down as Microsoft is selling there games on other consoles now. and as I've said before on Neogaf over 10 times now, I own over 500 games across PS12345. Microsoft is like Sega with consoles and PCs. A big failure. I have had nothing but tons of issues on Windows 11 and my Xbox Series X. It never ended, it never stopped, problems just kept coming and coming forever and ever and ever, freezes, crashes, slow downs, black outs, blue screens of death, it's happened to me over 50 to 100 times now across Windows 11 and Xbox Series X combined. I'm done with Microsoft forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NomenNescio]

My PS5 Pro IS AN XBOX.

 

[Hookshot]

No multiplayer? So no horde mode? WTF, that's miles more fun than the campaigns.

This is as dumb as when someone decided to strip the mission mode from Soul Calibur

 

[ManaByte]

No multiplayer means they can wipe their asses with this collection.

The BC versions of the games have working MP and they're 4K/60.

 

[Banjo64]

How is it a collection if it don't even have them all?

It has the Epic Games trilogy and not The Coalitions pale imitation.

 

[m14]

I wonder when the penny will drop that there's likely no physical release planned for this collection.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Finally 2 and 3 can be played properly. \o/
