Gears of War for Xbox One will innovate, assures Microsoft - Black Tusk has "awesome" concepts

Gears of War for Xbox One won't be the same old warren of chest-high walls, shredding animations and fist bumps - according to Ken Lobb, creative director for Microsoft Studios, new developer Black Tusk aims to take the IP to some interesting places.

"Innovate" is a word I don't like to hear, because it usually means drastic change. I am up for change I just hope it isn't too big of a change like that garbage Judgement was

christocolus3636d ago (Edited 3636d ago )

I hope so too cos i loved all the gears but somehow i couldnt bring myself to finish judgement. I think the guys at epic didnt really know what to do with the ip anymore..so handing it to MS may be the best thing to have happened for the ip. BT can bring in fresh ideas and innovate.

cfc783636d ago

Judgement was the only 1 i didn't play how bad was it?

christocolus3636d ago (Edited 3636d ago )

It was quite boring. The game was broken into short uneventful missions.it was a lot more linear and repetitive imo and the story wasnt all that good.

@lifesagame

I totally agree. All those things you mentioned will definitly make a great new gears game.

creatchee3636d ago

Judgment campaign was missing the emotional punch of the previous games. The multiplayer was a complete departure from past games. The always-on crosshairs took the hardcore level way down and the DBNO mechanic being missing from most modes made it feel less like a Gears game and more like something else.

However, the Reaper Easter Egg on Library is one of the greatest things ever. Not enough to redeem the whole game, but utterly cool as its own entity.

GarrusVakarian3636d ago (Edited 3636d ago )

Really? You don't want innovation because of what might go wrong? What about what might go right? I welcome innovation, despite the risks. The last thing i want are more CoD situations, where games hardly change and end up becoming stale. I might whine and stamp my feet at first, but i'd get used to it, innovation is necessary for some franchises. Games like Halo, Gears, Uncharted, Killzone and CoD could all benefit from some innovation, imo.

incredibleMULK3636d ago

Nah, uncharted 3 and gears judgement sucked. Once they get the winning formula they should just stick with it. Call of duty 4 molded all future call of duty's and they sold millions of copies. Tweaks are good but not total changes. Uc3 pales compared to uc2 and judgement was just plain doo doo.....probably because a new studio did it.

I want them to continue gears story. Its simple really the events in part 3 were a dream. Bam! Never happened! Do over. Now the locust can be part of gears 2 story arc ie lab experiment gone wrong.

Dmagic3636d ago

i cant believe you would even mention uncharted 3 and judgment in the same sentence.

DARK WITNESS3636d ago

I don't care much for the word innovative when it comes to games.

I can't count the number of games that have claimed to innovate and done next to nothing.

There are some games that have tried too hard to innovate and ended up sucking hard instead.

Don't get me wrong, I hope they can do something new and different with gears but I am not holding my breath.

I have got to the point in my gaming life when seeing is believing and talk is cheap.

It's going to "innovate" great, wonderful... Now lets see it!

qu1ckset3636d ago

Story was never a big seller for me in this series was ok but nothing godly , but Gears1 MP was AMAZING, and if it wasn't for host shot and people glitching under maps to get draws, it would of been perfect, other then halo2 there is no game I put more hours into.

Never played Gears2 but I did play Gears3 and mp IMO lost it's touch of what made Gears1 so good. Never played judgement after my disappointed with 3's MP.

Personally I think gears isn't the system seller Halo is anymore and they should just give it a long break and use there talent to come up with a new IP , but that's just my 2cents

As long as it still has amazing visuals, kills still feel satisfying, a good story, there's new enemies and weapons with new melee moves it'll be awesome

And I don't have even the slightest doubt that it'll succeed

GarrusVakarian3636d ago (Edited 3636d ago )

" kills still feel satisfying,"

This. Blowing people away with the shotgun was soooo satisfying, seeing all the body parts fly across the map, lmao. The kill animations and visuals, mixed with how the game felt to play, made for some very satisfying gameplay. I hope they can keep that same feeling in the next game.

HacSawJimThugin3636d ago

Absolutely agree with that post. Getting head shots in Gears regardless of the weapon is some of the best stuff in gaming IMO. The animation coupled with the sound effects still give me chills. Can't wait to see how these elements will return with all of thus new gen muscle.

Mikefizzled3636d ago

I may be the only one but more scenes like the RAAM's shadow dlc. As that was awesome.

cr33ping_death3636d ago

Let this be so... and I will buy an Xbox One... I remember Saturdays flying by playing the first Gears all day.... I want that for this new Gears.

mrpsychoticstalker3636d ago

Gears of War has always been my favorite series. Except for judgement. I remember I spent hundreds of hours on horde. Reached level 50 by myself!

I can't wait to see and experience what Black Tusks will bring to the table but one thing is for sure, day one I'm getting it!

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart575695d 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.

Blad3runner0095d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic95d 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.

TheEroica95d ago (Edited 95d 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!

RaidenBlack95d ago

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

phoenixwing95d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic95d 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.

Concertoine95d 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.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin100d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack99d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69100d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07100d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn100d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid100d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog99d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992100d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
