Even though i bought all 3 gears i didn't feel like there was much improvement after the 1st. And by that i mean the single player mode as i rarely play multiplayer if at all. In essence i felt a little let down once i finished them... By comparison halo reach was an improvement over it's predecessors so i'm hoping this new gears manages to do the same.

nukeitall4283d ago

I disagree.

Gears of War with every iteration has gotten to be a significantly better and better game. If you go back and play GoW2 or GoW, you will start to notice them. That is because the later changes was so damn good you just eased right into it.

I really love the fast paceness of Gears of War 3, so I can't wait to see what they are doing to GoW:J.

In fact, my most anticipated game to end this generation is GoW:J, more so than even Halo 4!

But I can't complain abut receiving Halo 4!!! XD

Well the single player campaign in Gears 3 was longer than the first two Gears combined. They also added 4 player local and XBL co-op. They also added arcade campaign mode, which is a lot of fun to play through with friends. New weapons and characters in the campaign, and what I felt like was a heartfelt story of all the games. You really got the chance to delve into Marcus, Cole's and Dom's past, the only person who I felt they left out was Baird, which is why he is getting the prequel.

I would like to avoid quoting myself after just 2 comments but i guess it seems necessary... "i didn't feel like there was MUCH improvement after the 1st. And by that i mean the SINGLE player mode as i RARELY play mutiplayer if at all."... Of course there's going to be some improvements over the previous but none that would warrant it to be "leaps and bounds" better...

Most of the changes you listed are for multiplayer which i never really dive into... (i didn't even know you could play 4 players in the campaign.)

I remember gears 1 more so than 2 or 3, i felt it had more "wow, did you see that?!" moments. Maybe because it was the 1st of it's kind but the ones after it made me feel like "that's it?" i'm not saying they were bad just that they were not as good as i had hoped they would be.

It's similar to grand theft auto 4; after all the hype, sure it was prettier than the rest, but after a while you felt (at least i did) like it was just the same game with a fresh coat of paint...

For me, a great game is a game that would make me play it again once i'm done with it. Gears 2 and 3 failed to do that... Maybe i will as we get closer to the new one, but i doubt it as i'll likely be tied up playing other games before that.

jetlian4283d ago

Well you know what name a series that changed singleplayer? Got to see this. What were you expecting?

level 3604283d ago

Beg to disagree with the first comment, biggest and best change I noticed was the flawless and more intuitive control pad set-up on GoW3.

One of the best games on XBox360.

cuddlemonkey4283d ago

Gears 3 is prob my fave single player of this gen, mp was also very cool. And dayme if those tickers arnt the cutest little niblets!

Brek_Erickson4283d ago

Yeah Optimis, I'd have to respectfully disagree when GoW3 was released, I played the single player and beat it before "omg omg gears of war" obsession wore off so I went back to the first and overall gameplay was less satisfying. The gameplay wasn't as smooth as I remembered, obviously it was alot less colorful, etc. I still enjoy it but if I'd have to choose I'd pick the 3rd...the unreal engine improvements allowed for a more solid game experience.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart575694d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner0094d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic94d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica94d ago (Edited 94d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing94d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic94d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos95d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin95d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris95d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine94d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz95d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.
