Brick Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I've never played a Gears game before. I'm guessing this is a prequel and E-Day is the first day of the invasion or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I gotta go back and play the last game. I didn’t get far before other things happened that took me away from the game. The trailer was great and loved the return of Mad World playing in the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Reinventing A Mad World: Why Gears of War: E-Day Represents the Future of the Series - Xbox Wire NEWS.XBOX.COM The Coalition discusses how returning to the core of franchise is building its future with Gears of War: E-Day. Quote Gears of War: E-Day was unveiled in a surprise announcement during the Xbox Games Showcase today, alongside an explosive trailer that takes us all the way back to Emergence Day. The trailer introduces us to this defining moment in the Gears of War series that sees the fearsome Locust make themselves known with a brutal ambush from below against the world of Sera. Here, we’ll follow younger versions of the series’ original heroes, Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago, as they begin their fight against the Locust invasion. This event is the catalyst for everything we know and love about Gears of War, and I caught up with developers at The Coalition to find out why now is the perfect time to tell that story.

jaethos Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 While going this route is better for me, having never played 4 or 5, it kind of sucks for anyone invested in the new story of those games. It's my understanding that 5 ended on a big cliffhanger, so people are going to have to wait something like 10 years or more to get the continuation of that.

Yes, as a big fan of the series who played 4 and 5 with my brothers, going back to E-Day again when we just did that with the last most recent Gears release with Gears Tactics (which was quite good!) is a bit annoying but I'll take any Gears I can get. Still, they better do Gears 6 at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Man, it's so cool seeing all the super excited reactions for E-Day. Especially when they realize it was Dom that pulled up Marcus. I rarely have games that I am looking forward to this much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I thought Gears 5 did a great job at answering a lot of questions that had been open since the first game. Yes, it did not provide final closure (and I suspect this franchise will never see it). But, I'm find with them going back and exploring in more detail E-Day (after having much of the back story highlighted in Gears 5). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve played all the core Gears games and while I wouldn’t go so far as to say I “care” about the lore, I do think it’s kind of a bummer for them to go back to what is probably the least interesting timeframe for the franchise? And continuing to spend time with characters whose fates we know and for whom we have a good deal of closure? I get that the crowd gets pissed when the band doesn’t play the hits but whatever. It’s a looker for sure though. Hope Horde mode is fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 With no actual game play shown this has to be at least 2 years away, right? Wasn't the original Mad World commercial the one that started the entire trend of playing slow soulful remixes of popular songs juxtaposed with intense violence? The mad world commercial was cool but that trend got so corny so fast. Every single game trailer felt exactly the same for like a decade. It was like the BONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG sound in trailers in the 2000s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I wasn't even going to play Gears 4 until it came with the 1070 I got. The actual worst part of Gears 4 was how they locked my favorite game mode behind ranked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were showing dates of some games that were targeted to be released in 2025. Since I don't recall a date being shown for Gears, I think it is safe to assume a 2026+ release date.

My favorite part of the original Gears games was the absolute hilarity that came about when they tried to balance the dudebro vibes and the more serious storytelling. It peaked with Dom and Marcus saying things like SHIT YEA when they headpulped someone or got turned on by a successful active reload immediately after Maria’s death, 12/10, no notes. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 So much for that, I guess... Quote Phil said in the IGN interview that Gears 4 and Gears 5 were another regime's story (led by Rod Ferguson), now that the executive team there has shifted and this team doesn't have the same vision for Gears as the old Coalition, it made more sense for them to work on a prequel to figure out "their vision for Gears and what this new team's Gears looks like" rather than continuing a vision/story they weren't leading for their first game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Soooo, we're into full series reboot, starting with E-day? As a PC gamer, this would not hurt my feelings if they remade Gears 1-3 and released them on steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
