Gears franchise director Nicole Fawcette reinforced that in a behind-closed-doors group interview I attended in LA on Sunday afternoon.

She shared what Gears development studio The Coalition says fans have communicated as the core elements of the series:

• “The brutality of Gears”
• “The sadness, kind of melancholy vibe”
• “It wouldn’t be Gears if it wasn’t over the top, kind of an action spectacle”
• “Never fight alone” – a vibe born from the series’ co-op modes

And what of the new game itself, a new adventure set in the city of Kalona?

If anyone has access to post the rest of the debt, go for it.

>No Open World

Everything about this sounds .

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Probably is going to be one of the best showcases for UE5.

 

[Z O N E]

I can't wait.

Going back to what made Gears of War is already making me fucking excited.

 

[adamsapple]

Going back to the roots. I like that.

Glad they even added the 'of war' on the title again.

 

[Represent.]

Sounds like its inspired by The Last of Us, thank God

 

[tmlDan]

no open world is a huge W

 

[Sanepar]

This is already gotu, go Gears against woke culture

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

No open world just sold me on the game.

Thank Gaaawwwwwwd.

 

[MrA]

biggest change is of war being back in the official title, that just gears was so stupid,

about time microsoft does something right, to late to change the fate of xbox, but good to actually get something interesting from them.

 

[FeralEcho]

No open world...and Thank God fir that.So tired of open world bloated garbage.

Gimme a 10-20 hour campaign masterpiece instead. Can't wait to hear Marcus and Dom banter together again.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

No open world is great. I still think they need to reinvent the gameplay loop. Gears of War 3 with updated graphics isn't going to do it for a lot of gamers. This should be their GOW 2018, reboot of the franchise

 

[kiphalfton]

Did Phil Spencer secretly get fired, because seems like Xbox did a 360 out of nowhere.

 

[VinnyMac]

Really thinking about getting a cheap x to run through the series but really think the collection will see the ps5

 

[Varteras]

 

[BlackTron]

Not open world, haven't replaced or cucked out the classic characters, tries to push forward graphically, is this game 20 years old? I'm in

 

[LordCBH]

This game is gonna be awesome

 

[RJMacready73]

I'd love it if MS released the Gears games on Playstation, fuck me they where fantastic games on the 360

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

This will bring me back to gears (Gow 2 was the last one I cared about)

 

[Sushi_Combo]

I'd love it if MS released the Gears games on Playstation, fuck me they where fantastic games on the 360

It will be coming to PS consoles in the near future.

 

[Gaiff]

Did Phil Spencer secretly get fired, because seems like Xbox did a 360 out of nowhere.

So it's the same thing lol?

 

[amigastar]

I never really played a Gears of War in my gaming career. Maybe i will give this one a shot.

 

[MiguelItUp]

It'll be nice to go back to Gears after the original trilogy.

 

[LimanimaPT]

This is already gotu, go Gears against woke culture

I can bet the main character will be a strong female...

 

[GametimeUK]

I think Gears 4, 5 and Hivebusters are amazing games. I don't give a fuck and I'm excited for this new game. The Coalition are very underrated in my opinion.

 

[analog_future]

Man, this just keeps sounding better and better

 

[wipeout364]

The open world was interesting but kind of sucked in reality.

 

[Iced Arcade]

No open world is a huge plus

 

[mayham2199]

I never really played a Gears of War in my gaming career. Maybe i will give this one a shot.

They are amazing games. Half the reason I got my 360 (mass effect being the other). I just got burnt out on them after the first 3 games. The formula never really changes so I just got kind of tired of it. Original trilogy has a great story though and the local coop is very fun.

 

[Brigandier]

Can't wait for this, loved Marcus and Dom in Gears of War 1-3 they are brilliant characters.

Will Baird be in this???

 

[diffusionx]

Seems like they got people in charge who think the direction they were going in was a major mistake.

 

[Clintizzle]

I just came in my pants.

 

[Varteras]

I demand some variation of this song

 

[Arachnid]

The best parts of 5 were the linear set pieces. Glad that'll be the entire game. No one ever asked for open world Gears.

 

[Varteras]

I just came in my pants.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I demand some variation of this song

Amazing that I haven't played this since the PC release and I still remember this song.

Might be a good time for a replay.

 

[Fbh]

Brutal, not open world, Marcus and crew instead of the cast of the Hunger games, action spectacle.

 

[StereoVsn]

Well, shit, some good news at least about modern gaming. Of course we aren’t seeing this till 2026 at best…

 

[StueyDuck]

Gears to me is set pieces so I'm not sure how I feel about the open world, especially after 5

Edit: Oh isn't open world. That's good, title caught me

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Now this is something I can fap to.

 

[YuLY]

I havent been this hard since highschool.

 

[ReBurn]

Going back to the roots. I like that.

Glad they even added the 'of war' on the title again.

Now people can fight about what GOW means again.

 

[simpatico]

Gears is such a simple formula. You can only fuck it up if you overthink it (4 and 5). MS should be dropping these no more than 3 years apart. Lean and mean.

 

[Varteras]

Now people can fight about what GOW means again.

This is what it means to me

 

[Sleepwalker]

We are so back my fellow dudebros

 

[Rudius]

This is already gotu, go Gears against woke culture

I hope, I hope...

 

[mitch1971]

Good, no open world. I'd even go as far as saying none of this 'linear but wide game areas' that ND championed in Uncharted 4. Felt that area really slowed down the pace of the game. Open world or linear. Pick a lane and stick with it.

 

[Lokaum D+]

No open world = insta buy

i miss so much the cinematic corridors shooters of PS360 era, nowadays everything has to be a HUGE open world full of nothing.

 

[FlyyGOD]

Did Phil Spencer secretly get fired, because seems like Xbox did a 360 out of nowhere.

360 brings you back to the spot you just left.

 

[danklord]

This is going to be a banger. Remake the OG trilogy in UE 5 you cowards.
