Why is Everyone so Hyped for Gears of War?

Even the mention of a character from the Gears of War franchise on social media sends Gears fans into a frenzy. Why is that?

simple. Because they are great games.

MasterCornholio3351d ago (Edited 3351d ago )

Not Judgment though. The other 3 were fantastic.

P.S My favorite was Gears 2.

holysmokesbatman3351d ago

Gears 2 campaign was EPIC, multi in 3 FTW though

bouzebbal3351d ago

"Why is Everyone so Hyped for Gears of War?"
What? Did i miss something? Is there a trailer or any bit of info yet?

MasterCornholio3351d ago

@holy

I never got into multiplayer with gears though only Coop. Maybe that's why I liked 2 better than 3.

Anyways you can't go wrong with the first 3. Judgement on the other hand was a mess.

4Sh0w3350d ago (Edited 3350d ago )

MasterCornholio but Judgement wasn't a bad game imo...it just wasn't as good as the other installments, especially with Gears2 being so amazing. Its a 79 on metacritic so quite a few agreed with that sentiment as well.

As for this news headline; I haven't seen much hype, *yet.

bloop3350d ago

Gears 3 is still my go to game for multi and I still play it more regularly than any other mp game. Judgement was a huge letdown. I just hope they keep the formula of 3, build on it and have the sense to drop all the changes that Judgement brought in. This is the one game I'm waiting for to buy an Xbone.

krypt19833350d ago

judgment's story was amazing they just let people can fly fuck the multiplayer up..

maniacmayhem3350d ago

Wow, Gears 2? They had some fantastic maps but the online was just to much of a mess.

Gears 3 for me was the best of the series. Enjoyed hours with friends just on Horde mode alone.

GameNameFame3350d ago

And thats the key.

Judgement made not by EPIC is an exception.

Gears is just a name, if you dont have good studios to make that game. You can bet its not the same.

Hence why everyone should be very weary of the new one made not by EPIC.

SilentNegotiator3350d ago

Pretty much. One bad entry isn't going to stop people from getting excited for the continuation of the series.

Well that was easy. It's true too! Plus, where is our bromances?! :p

vishmarx3351d ago (Edited 3351d ago )

they 'were' great games.
2,1,3 in that particular descending order.all amazing none the less(3 really blew it with the story ,dom's death was super underwhelming and so was the ending, i felt more for the new recruit in 2 and dom himself than i did for dom in 3)
judgement was meh but more importantly, that story is over and the devs have left.
its a new story by new devs,
the only thing thatll remain is the same universe, not sure how worth getting super hyped about that is.
after 343's performance after bungie left , you cant blame me for being skeptical . not gonna lie,i thought MS would hire someone more talented and deserving than them to handle their biggest gaming franchise

heres hoping black tusk can recreate the old charm,
great characters , great story, breathtaking visuals and setpeices and awesome monster designs . the name alone slapped on the cover will not satisfy me

LexHazard793351d ago

I think its in pretty good hands. Rod Fergusson runs Black Tusk.

Trekster_Gamer3350d ago

Vishmar.…
Total inaccurate assessment.

All 3 were great!
No game is perfect but all three was a blast from start to finish!

-EvoAnubis-3351d ago

Yeah, it really is that simple. Judgement sucked, but the GeOW franchise overall has been fantastic. If you're an Xbox gamer and you're NOT hyped about the next Gears of War game, I'd seriously have to wonder why the hell you even own an Xbox One.

Insomnia_843351d ago

What hype? The last game didn't even sell 2m and the hype was almost nonexistent!

IxWoodstockxI3351d ago

That's cause GoW Judgment sucked right from the start when I heard Epic and Cliffy B did not work on it I knew it was going to suck

jaeEvuhL3350d ago

Judgment was not GEARS at all that game shamed me

NuggetsOfGod3350d ago (Edited 3350d ago )

Yeah judgment wasn't that good.

Xbox fans seem to not go for or defend worse games.

They are not like the order fans Lol

Gears 3 metascore is 91
Judgments metascore is 79.

79 not that bad actually lol

Gears was the only game that could pull me away from uncharted.

Uncharteds story is more interesting and gears is more fun and satisfying.

Cliff was all about fun! Enough movies posing as games!!

Bottom line if the new one is done right it will sell xboxs!
I want a gears bundle with a gears themed xbox.

Glad it's going back to it's dark and gridy roots!

BallsEye3351d ago (Edited 3351d ago )

Awesome co-op. What I liked about gears and halo is that eventho graphics are great, they don't put maximum weight on it and actually ADD SPLIT SCREEN CAMPAIGN and COMPETITIVE ONLINE MP WITH SPLIT SCREEN. Other devs say they don't add split-screen because they wan't more graphical fidelity. Screw that, I wanna play couch co-op with my friends and my wife. Finished all Gears campaigns with my wife on hardest difficulty and kicked ass online (she just loves to chainsaw people ;]). Gears is true game for the gamers.

Kribwalker3350d ago

That is the only reason I buy call of duty every year. Split screen online. I have 2 Xbox ones and my wife can play in the other room since I buy all games digital and I have the other Xbox as my home Xbox, and one gold sub will work for my whole family that way too, but there is something to be said about sitting next to someone while playing online. And with my 60" TV, I have plenty of screen real estate to boot

Blaze9293351d ago (Edited 3351d ago )

I think everyone knows a Gears of War XB1 1080p (MAYBE 60fps) Collection, would break the internet.

Professor_K3350d ago

Woukd rather have 30 fps 900 or 1080 p(wicj ever delivers better graphics.

Angeljuice3351d ago

"Why is everyone so hyped for Gears of War?"
They aren't, unless of course by "EVERYONE" you mean some people or lots of people. I am a small part of "everyone" and I couldn't care less.

WilDRangeRfc3350d ago

You couldnt care yet here you are trolling the game hhmmm

Angeljuice3350d ago (Edited 3350d ago )

@Wildrange

How exactly am I trolling? I saw the headline and it referred to me (I am a member of "everyone" after all).

If somebody speaks on my behalf they should be accurate or I'll speak out.

I didn't even read the article because I don't have an Xbox and don't care what games do or don't get released on the platform, so how exactly does that make me "hyped"?

You need to learn what a troll is, I have said nothing disparaging about the game at all, just pointing out the inaccuracy of the title.

According to you, if you came across an article stating that "everyone wants to have sex with underaged children", you would be a troll to disagree.

Oh well, your opinion doesn't count because you built a shrine to My Little Pony and sacrifice dwarves on it daily whilst sharing barbequed rat with your beloved pet poop called George (if you disagree you're a troll remember).

nitus103350d ago

@WilDRangeRfc

Why is Angeljuice trolling? He is stating an opinion and he is certainly entitled to it, especially since he is not being derogatory about it.

I have said this before and will say it again. Gamers like different Genres or gaming categories and not all gamers like Shooters even though the people who do "rabidly" like those games feel that everyone must like what they like.

Personally I like Action/Adventure and/or RPG's and have never really liked FPS (I don't mind first person AA and/or RPG's though) and before anything is said about that I have played FPS's but I really can't get into them for various reasons although it is fascinating to read how many people defend almost to the death their love of these games.

Don't get me wrong here if you like a particular game category or sub category then great but not all people will like what you like.

Magicite3350d ago

''Why is Everyone so Hyped for Gears of War?''
Not everyone is hyped, but those who played them, those who have trust in black tusk, xbox fanboys and people who love TPS.

Moldiver3350d ago (Edited 3350d ago )

"xbox fanboys and people who love TPS."

See this is why you have one bubble...dimitri. You cant be taken seriously.

Hey you guys. Magicite is dimitri, btw. He sends me messages then blocks me. I can screen print my inbox and expose him right now.I dont even block him, because I know how badly he sets himself up, every time. I want you guys to know what type...person...Magicite/dimit ri is.

EDIT: Im also the reason he changed his name. I owned him in a thread real bad.

Gotcha53350d ago (Edited 3350d ago )

IMO...out of all the shooters on Xbox I had the most fun with Gears 1-3 collector Ed.( it all about the gore ) as for Judgement the campaign and over run was fun but once people stop playing that's when judgement went down hill fast. I can only imagine MS announcing GOW Marcus Fenix Collection with cross play thur Xbox and Windows 10.

DarkOcelet3351d ago

I still loved Gears one the most because of many things including...

Fantastic Gameplay

Gorgeous visuals at the time, one of the best.

Dark atmosphere with some really tense and creepy moments

Gears theme that kicks in when the locust attacked the first time. It was one of the best themes i have ever heard.

Amazing characters ( Cole Train Baby)

While i loved 2 and 3 very much. I hoped they would have been much darker.

Hopefully Gears IV deliver on the dark elements as promised. This to me is the system seller i have been waiting for.

XiMasterChief3351d ago

Rod Fergusson (the director of Gears or whatever) said Gears of War 4 will return to it's darker roots.

daBUSHwhaka3351d ago (Edited 3351d ago )

The darker the better if you ask me.Loved the dark tone that Gears 1 had.

OpieWinston3350d ago

Rod Fergusson is Studio Head. He's got his hands in everything.

Gotcha53350d ago

@ximasterchief
Rod Fergusson still needs to explain how a human female became the Queen of the Locust...was she banging the locust King?

d_g3350d ago

agree

and especially "whoo Cole Train Baby"

DanzoSAMA3351d ago (Edited 3351d ago )

Because it's one of the best games in the last gen.

Can't wait for GOW Collection on Xbox ONE and i wish GOW 4 came out in 2015

daBUSHwhaka3351d ago

Yet you get disagrees.This site cracks me up.So many people with their heads up there arse.Day one for me,and that console skin just looks sweet.

Hellsvacancy3351d ago

Have you never clicked the disagree button on any comment you've read?

StrayaKNT3351d ago

The campaigns are amazing playing co op with friends and the gameplay and shooting mechanics for online play were one of a kind and so brutal bringing some of the best experiences to last gen gaming. The soundtrack was also superb and enemy design.

Metallox3351d ago

If Microsoft releases such compilation of Gears games, I'll buy a Xbox One instantly, no matter what.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756100d 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.

Blad3runner00100d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic100d 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.

TheEroica100d ago (Edited 100d 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!

RaidenBlack101d ago

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

phoenixwing101d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic100d 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.

Profchaos101d 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__Merrin101d 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_vulgaris101d ago

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

Concertoine100d 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.

Brazz101d 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."

Wyesvin105d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack105d ago

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

phoenixwing105d ago (Edited 105d 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.

CrimsonWing69105d 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*.

ocelot07105d 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_corn105d ago

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

Juiceid105d ago

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

raWfodog105d ago

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

franwex105d ago (Edited 105d 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.

neutralgamer1992105d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
