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

well, to be sincere, god of war pre 2018 were better gameplay wise.
God of war 2018 is more cinematic, just that.

You can have that opinion. I just want to see the Coalition actually take some risks like GOW 2018 did and not regurgitate off past nostalgia

 

[Jesb]

Not sure why there was alot of negativity to gears being more open. I thought it was totally fine and added something fresh to the series.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

No open world? Good. Open world is vastly overdone.

 

[DavJay]

Gears 5 tried open world and it went as horrific as you would think. It’s the only gears game I never completed.

 

[Arsic]

This game will fuck harder than Johnny Sins on viagra.

 

[salva]

God I can't wait for this
but down boy, this is years away

 

[diffusionx]

Nah, not really.

 

[Kacho]

Damn this sounds hype. Coalition heard the fans cries and delivered what they wanted. Gonna look phenomenal!

 

[Northeastmonk]

Gears 5 tried open world and it went as horrific as you would think. It’s the only gears game I never completed.

The red sand had its moments, but it didn’t go anywhere. It was cool to look at. It felt like aimlessly going nowhere just to get somewhere to start exploring.

 

[gow3isben]

Yeah GoTG candidate incoming I will buy an Xbox for this if it doesn’t come to PlayStation

 

[Codes 208]

As long as it gives us Gears 1 and 2 vibes, or just has a horde mode and classic gears MP I’m absolutely there day -1

I have more faith in coalition with this project than xbox’s other two trinity developers (turn 10 and 343)

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

I really hate the word "melancholy", especially because when most people use it they could use "melancholic" instead and it'd sound better.

 

[simpatico]

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.

Gears 1 is still the perfect scope for a Gears game.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

So long as they nail the vibe and provide solid couch and online co-op, I'm here for it. First game was one of my favorite co-op experiences of all time.

 

[Come On Tars]

teaser with mad world got me emotional bros.

 

[phant0m]

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

Even Gears 5 brought the visuals for sure. One of the most stunning games on the market when it came out and that shit ran GOOD too.

 

[Loomy]

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

I this point they might as well.

well, to be sincere, god of war pre 2018 were better gameplay wise.

Different. I wouldn't say better.

 

[Hero_Select]

I'm so glad companies are realizing that not everything needs to be open world.

 

[peish]

No open world is good, sick of fetching a to b.

Just hope the battle maps are big, destructible with challenging AI and emergent firefights

 

[March Climber]

Not sure why there was alot of negativity to gears being more open. I thought it was totally fine and added something fresh to the series.

I liked Gears 5, but even I can admit they didn’t know how to do open world properly. The ‘world’ was just giant open areas with checkpoints that would hallway into linear levels. Oddly enough, it reminded me of Shadow of the Colossus with how empty it was in long stretches between those linear sections, except it didn’t quite have the mystique of something like SoTC.

 

[Balducci30]

I like open worlds, but it definitely never worked with Gears style gameplay. The open sections of 5 were horrible

 

[Dafegamer]

Gears is back guys

 

[Robb]

Sounds like a big step in the right direction.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

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.

Exactly. This being a campaign of 20-30 hours max would be great, I don't need this to be any longer. I'd be fine with a 15 hour campaign tbh. Would also make for a shorter development time. I hope they don't bloat this up.

 

[//DEVIL//]

No open world.... ok now It's one of my most wanted games.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Damn, misread that as open world game. The semi open world of 5 was a great change of pace. Maybe the set pieces and narrative will make up for it.

 

[Majormaxxx]

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

It will be. The one in charge, Nicole, is a champion for women in gaming. Maybe she can pull off a masculine action game. Maybe not.

 

[Vick]

All good, game sounds perfect so far.

Yet again, a simple game in the veins of Gears 1 and 3 with tight pacing, solid gunplay, mesmerizing graphics and no modern bullshit would be MORE than enough to make me super happy.

 

[Big Baller]

GOTG

 

[Diddy X]

I think it will launch along next xbox, I will play it on PC.

 

[Bartski]

 

[DenchDeckard]

Bring me back classic gameplay. Don't chase trends. Just make the best gears of war game you can.

Thanks

I have faith in the coalition.

 

[{insert code here}]

Hype rising but, I still want to see some gameplay.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

If you think about it. This is also a good opportunity for them to introduce the series into new platforms. This will literally become the game that starts it all. Super exited for it.

 

[nemiroff]

After their last complete ass attempt at "open world" this sounds like fire to me

 

[PendekarRajawali]

 

[TBiddy]

Gears 5 or whatever they called it was terrible. Glad they are ditching the open world.

 

[deriks]

Enough with the open world bullshit. This is the right move for this franchise

Also, the brutality needs to be on par with the original game. Heavy and dirty

 

[chromatic9]

Sounds good in text but it's just words and a trailer and Gears 4 is as linear as from Coalition that set out to do Gears right and missed. Perhaps with enough time and fan feedback they have this now, perhaps this ip can have a second wave that's worthy of the first 3, we'll see.

 

[anthony2690]

Can't wait for gears E-day, I already know when I'm playing the multiplayer, nothing else will matter, what worries me a little

Can't wait for the campaign too!

 

[xrnzaaas]

No open world is awesome. It absolutely killed the pacing in Gears 5, just like the slow walking sections clearly inspired by Sony's narrative games. Gears should have an action packed campaign from beginning to end.

 

[SCB3]

I'm just glad they brought back the name Gears of War

I've been wanting the E-Day stuff for years, if you've ever read the Novels, they do a great job of building it up

 

[Madserb2023]

Good, the open world areas in Gears 5 had no purpose other than to increase the length of the game. Hivebusters was better than the base game for that reason alone. Hivebusters was the most fun I have had with the franchise since 3 so unlike 343, they have proven they can do it, they just need to expand upon it.

 

[GymWolf]

I need to see some gameplay to check if it is just gears 1 with better graphic.

Still fighting the boring ass locusts doesn't excite me at all.

I wanted a rehaul but i think they just made an even more classic gears experience.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Very lucky to have played gears 1-5, the multiplayer is important to its success.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

No open world? Brutal, melancholy vibe?

 

[Dazraell]

Good choice for reverting towards more linear game. This open world-ish format didn't worked in Gears 5

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Saying and doing all the right things with this game so far. Wish they could do the same with Halo...

 

[Moriarty1889]

Good to see them get back to their roots. Was so tired of where they were going with Gears 5 and Kait Diaz. Glad to see they apparently listened to the consumers who have always supported them. Marcus Fenix and Dom are back!
