stepee Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 It just seems harder to take the series seriously if they are going to build up all that with 4 and 5 and not even some quick recon like Halo Infinite. They should have finished it in a netflix movie or smtn at least fuck. At least when this ends in a cliff hanger we can just load up Gears 1.

AbsolutSurgen Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 12 minutes ago, Commissar SFLUFAN said: So much for that, I guess... 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. So, I guess this means they are going to do remakes of the first 3 games, retcon the story in Gears 4/5 and have some sort of conclusion of the overall story in ~30 years?

Gears 3 ended the fight and then they said "nah" and I didn't really care for that. That said, nu-Gears seemed pretty beloved by the Noah Caldwell-Gervais-types, but most of them weren't the High School and College kids that made Gears popular. Never understood why series like this don't just go the FF route once they finish a story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be totally fine if the nu-Gears story arc concludes in either a novel or comic series. I don't need an actual game - just an actual conclusion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 From everything posted here it doesn't necessarily sound like they won't make a Gears 6, what it sounds like is they needed to know what kind of Gears game they even wanted to make first and needed room for that. They could, after this game, do Gears 6 which plays, looks, and feels like this game which I imagine will be an easier transition to do by making this game first than going in cold from Gears 4+5 to a potentially way different Gears 6. I'd say it's about a 50/50 chance they do a Gears 6 and close things out even if it's in an entirely new tone, etc. than Gears 4+5 were. I guess we'll see, either way everyone should play Gears Tactics, that also takes place during E-Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I played Gears 1-3 and Tactics, but I'm not sure I played 4 and 5. Maybe I played 4??

Bacon Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 It's just Microsoft being Microsoft. Gears 1 launched on PC as well. But 2 and 3 didn't. Gears 4 made it to PC "exclusively" to Windows 10, you can't buy it on older OS. The Gears 1 remaster also came out on PC in some fashion, and Gears 5 and Tactics got actual Steam releases. Still crazy that PC got two different versions of Gears of War 1 but never the rest of the trilogy. There's also Gears Judgment which is not on PC, but no one cares about that game. Edit: Gears 4 and Gears 1 Re came out during the Xbox One/Win10-sells-your-data Era of Microsoft. The worst MS gaming era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are dirt cheap this week. Are they great? No. Are they worth playing if you like Gears? Absolutely. They're both good dumb fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but they're both fun spin-offs/side stories that in both cases their stories come back in nice ways in God of War reboot/Ragnarok (Kratos' brother's stuff) and Gears of War 4+5 in terms of Baird's characterization. They're like the Halo 3: ODST of their franchises, maligned spinoffs that shouldn't be. My brother and I enjoyed playing Gears of War: Judgement co-op even if like Ascension and ODST they're slight games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Gears 4 in not in my steam library so unless I played it on Epic (lol) I think probably not. Is it worth playing? I'm not sure if you've played Gears of War: Judgment (since that just came up too) but I think Judgment and 4 and 5 are all worth playing if you enjoy Gears of War or its universe at all. Gears 4 is Coalition finding its footing. It teases new and different ways to approach missions and creates a new, less ridiculous generation of Gears to play as that remain connected to the old crew who are frequently involved in Gears 4+5 as NPC's. Gears 4 is a small game that focuses mainly on a small personal story and isn't quite the same tone as previous Gears. Gears 5 though is pretty good with some semi-open world segments and buttery smooth gunplay and a more dynamic story. If you went to the trouble of playing Tactics (which was really good) then I'd say you'd enjoy them. That being said, as others have said it may be annoying to get into Gears 4 and 5 when there's no Gears 6 on the horizon to wrap things up, though I doubt they'll leave that story completely left to dangle, I'd just give it time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 This was a pretty good reveal trailer. I enjoyed 5 but the series I think could use a reboot so doing a prequel maybe isn’t a bad idea. I actually didn’t mind this being open world like, but it’s not really what makes these games great so probably good to just focus on what the series was great at. One thing I wouldn’t mind them doing is making the game less comfortable for you. I feel like all the games your too comfortable and you know you’ll get out of any situation. Make it less comfortable for the player, make the player more scared. I think turning the series into a more horror experience could make a whole new experience again.
