Wingman is a great addition, however proximity mines just ruined the game for me. Proximity mines were the worst invention in video games to date. In one of the games I worked on they were eventually removed because there is just no real way to make them effective without ruining the flow of the game. I don't even have to bring up goldeneye, anyone who has played that heavily knows what I am talking about... now imagine not being able to respawn. Proximity mines and the button mashing saw fights might just ruin the game. Why screw up what worked incredibly well?

It is only a matter of time before users figure out a few spots where mines cannot be seen or shot without exploding, and you will have that one guy hiding the whole match and winning without any skill. If they are readily available look for it to become a large nuisance in which you have to essentially stop moving all together.

I was also hoping that they might have larger multiplayer battles. 5v5 is just so outdated at this point. Also what happened to the texture quality since the first footage shown from this game? I hope it ends up at least looking better than the original GeoW (Yes this video is crappy, but I'm not going off of this solely). Finishing moves do look awesome though, I'm not sold on the meat shield just yet.

The stopping when fired on sucks for a shotgun heavy guy like me. I was heavy on both the saw and shotgun and they essentially killed both of their effectiveness. Again, why ruin what worked?

P.S. Man Cliff is such a douche.

THIS GAME IS LOOKING SO SICK!!!!

And a side not I'm glad Cliffy took my advice and now we can crawl away when we're injured on the floor! Guess it does help to write to the developers directly!!!

Bnet3435773d ago

Hell Yeah man. The finishing moves look so brutal. You bash your opponents head with the longshot!! 0_0 and you hook their heads with the torque bow and cut it off!!! SOOO FRIKKING BURTAl man, cant wait. Gears 2 will beat COD4 for most played on Xbox Live. I know it will. Halo got old. Gears is the future of the Xbox 360.

mintaro5773d ago

Looks like a hella good time

jessupj5773d ago

I must admit, I'd love have a 360 for this game :) looks very nice.

More direct feed footage! I wish there was a HD version. :(

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies666d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638666d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72667d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337667d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever666d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad667d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds667d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

Neonridr800d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies800d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia801d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey602801d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian229800d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares801d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve801d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares801d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos801d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong801d ago (Edited 801d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard801d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

6. Gears Judgement

Atom6661143d ago

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1143d ago (Edited 1143d ago )

Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:

1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
