David from BagoGames writes: Gears of War‘s influence on the gaming industry can’t be understated. While Kill Switch beat it to the punch by three years, Gears of War spawned a movement. Virtually every third person game with guns since its release has incorporated a cover system. It’s gotten to the point that a third person action game without a cover system in this day and age is an anomaly. The original Gears of War trilogy stands as one of last generation’s best. With that said, I have only just recently played through Gears of War: Judgment for the first time after playing the numbered entries, including Gears of War 4. It didn’t move as many units as Gears of War 3, but does that mean it’s not worth playing five years later?
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
Read a comment earlier calling it a "special monetization operation." I had to chuckle at that.
The campaign was low budget but I really liked it, and Overrun mode was a blast. Just didn't like the change in controls.
They should have left in DBNO.
This was a pretty good game with really good graphics, but I agree that the change in the controls was pointless, and the achievements were really tough to get, compared to the previous three games.
I personally like how this game was, but the reason it failed was because people wanted a Gears game that played like past Gears games and had it been a new IP instead it would have been a success. So I'd like to see a game that plays like that game, but be a whole new IP instead.
It was ok but the story kind of sucked compared to the other gears games
