Splash Damage's lead designer celebrates original Gears of War, Gears of War Anniversary confirmed?

Splash Damage’s Neil Alphonso tweeted from his personal account an appreciation about the original Gears of War.

Lead designer’s tweet was sent on April 26, the day after Gears of War Remastered leak came out on Polygon, and was later cancelled. Could this be a further confirm that the rumor is indeed true?

Gears 1 was pretty epic yes but i would be disappointed if they Remaster it only. Why not remaster the whole trilogy just like Halo MCC?

And put the Gears IV beta in it. That will sell like hot cakes.

hello123298d ago (Edited 3298d ago )

Its more likely a remake than a remaster?

Gears 1 updated to 1080p and 60frames would be awesome however visually it not going to look next gen i don't think?

Microsoft could release it for free if they wanted and that would generate interest in the x box 1.

Transistor@ Gears 1 on PC is 8 years old. I can play Gears 1 on my PC at 1080p 60 frames already. A remaster is not going to change the visuals all that much and i have my doubts people will pay 60 dollars for it anyway.

Two things could happen.

It will be free for people who own an x box 1 and have xblive, and lets be honest its a possibility, like Microsoft is giving away another old Halo game for free.

It will not cost more than 20 dollars to buy i think? If its a remaster this will be the case must likely.

I disagree we don't know exactly when Microsoft pushed for a remake or remaster of Gears it may have only happened recently? Gears 1 or whatever it is is been beta tested they failed to do that with MCC

MCC campaigns worked flawlessly at launch, the issues are online and from what i hear most of it is fixed. The tournament was cancelled recently because players were unable to join parties and that may not be an issue with the game, but the network server or peoples internet connections.

Transistor3298d ago

From what I've heard it's a remaster with extra features like Halo Anniversary, not a remake.

Transistor3298d ago

"Why not remaster the whole trilogy just like Halo MCC?"

The MCC was just cancelled from a tournament because it still doesn't work properly 200 days later. In fact Splash Damage were the ones who developed the patch for the March Update, not 343i.

And Splash Damage is indeed developing the Gears Anniversary, they were the developers of Brink.

DarkOcelet3298d ago

I think i am in the minority here when i say i care about Gears campaign so much more than i do the MP.

The MP is awesome yeah, but the selling point to me is the campaign.

But i get your point, then hopefully when they release it, they sort out the MP before launch. They cant screw up this game.

Automatic793298d ago

Why do we get articles with no real substance.

Legion213298d ago

Because there's just rumors and speculation about the gears projects. People are trying to connect the dots.

TeamLeaptrade3298d ago

I think it's the best route to go, that is to remaster the whole trilogy. Including the Gears IV beta would be a big thing too.

I just think it'll sell better if they put all three in one nice and pretty package.

Legion213298d ago

Don't think they have the time to do that before Black Tusk's games launches.

Legion213298d ago

Well halo 1 was remastered before the mcc came out. And halo 3 & 4 received more of an upscale in the mcc. They want to get gears out on the Xbox one before the new one comes out and don't have enough time to remaster the whole trilogy.

700p3297d ago

Im happy with just a gears of war remaster. And a gears of war beta.

thelwebb1003297d ago

Well Gears 2 and 3 still look great so they don't need to be remade.

This pretty much confirms it. I loved Gears of War 1 a lot got hooked after seeing the mad world trailer. I hope SD isn't just going to do the mormal remastering. I hope they really improve the graphics,cutscenes&framera te with UE 4 then lastly they need to include all the best features from 2 and 3(mp).

DarkOcelet3298d ago

If they Remaster only Gears 1 then what they should simply do is ...

Use UE4 to improve the graphics and framerate
Add Gears 3 MP elements to the game.
Add Gears 2 MP maps
Add Gears IV beta and hopefully a campaign demo and i want it to be dark as hell just like Gears 1.

christocolus3298d ago

That's exactly what i want to see them do with this game.if they are going to give us just one game then they really need to make it amazing.

Deadlead3298d ago

Yep that'd be perfect, but I'm still hoping for the collection MCC style.

gangsta_red3298d ago (Edited 3298d ago )

I like Gears one, but I liked 3 more, especially the maps and the extra modes it brought.

Re-mastering part one is like taking a step backwards in my humble opinion. A collection would have been much more appreciated.

I know some on here love the SP, but for me and a lot of people I know the MP is where Gears really stood out and part 3 was the pinnacle of greatness when it came to the MP.

ScorpiusX3298d ago

Please keep confined to system , also sweet bring it

WeAreLegion3298d ago

I really hope it's not just the first game. I like it, but I liked 2 and 3 much more.

Eldyraen3298d ago

Main thing I liked about 2/3 myself was simply more Gears and lack of Active snipe downing in competitive.

The darker tone from One gave way to more of an Action emphasis where even say some of the darker aspects felt forced in 2 on (Bromance sacrifice and other deaths--they worked but not on same level if it was approached more like an almost horror/suspense that I enjoyed often from the original). I still enjoyed it but for an almost different reason and thought pacing and atmosphere was just better in the original (for most part--other games had some great moments but liked original overall beyond a few mechanic refinements).

Judgement on the other hand was practically its own thing imo as I liked it but not nearly as much as others all around. Still fun but some subtle and not so subtle changes made it feel like a cashgrab version that I could had lived without. It was just Gears enough but not actually Gears enough, if you know what I mean.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756114d 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.

Blad3runner00114d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic114d 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.

TheEroica114d ago (Edited 114d 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!

RaidenBlack114d ago

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

phoenixwing114d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic114d 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.

Profchaos114d 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__Merrin114d 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_vulgaris114d ago

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

Concertoine114d 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.

Brazz114d 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."

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack118d ago

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

phoenixwing118d ago (Edited 118d 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.

CrimsonWing69119d 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*.

ocelot07119d 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_corn119d ago

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

Juiceid118d ago

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

raWfodog118d ago

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

franwex118d ago (Edited 118d 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.

neutralgamer1992118d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
