Gears of War To Be Fully Co-Op

God bless Cliffy B. Over at Rewiredmind.com, their man in Barcelona has apparently confirmed with Cliffy that Gears of War is full co-op. Not tacked on co-op missions, but the entire game, playable co-operatively with beer and your buddies.

-Playable co-operatively with beer and your buddies-. That's what im talking about!. let the kids spend a night at a friends house cuz it's Gow night. I can see it now couples and company fighting over the controller(s).

Marriot VP6511d ago

ahhh YES, online and offline co-op.

I'm not gonna be a fanboy about this, I'm seriously dissapointed in Epic for not having more than 8 people online. 16 would of been perfect, but 8 will still be awesome. More would of been a lot better though.

ElementX6511d ago

8 person multiplayer will be fine. With only 8 players, there will be higher polygon counts for the characters and more detail. If you were to have, say 32 players, then the developers would have to seriously cut back on character detail to make it run smoothly with a consistant frame-rate. Maybe once developers are accustomed to the 360 programming enviroment, they'll be able to display higher detail with more players online.

See this is what I wanted for GRAW co-op throughout the game. I am not a big fan for seperate co-op missions, because normally they dont look even close to the single player or play as fun. I am using GRAW again as an example.. Halo and Halo 2 allowed for full co-op and it was the best I hope GOW's full co-op can match up.

I love co-op it's a good thing to do with a buddy this is good news

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756193d 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.

@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?

FinalFantasyFanatic193d 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.

TheEroica193d ago (Edited 193d 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

phoenixwing193d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic193d 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.

Profchaos194d 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__Merrin193d 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_vulgaris193d ago

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

Concertoine193d 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.

Brazz193d 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."

Wyesvin198d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack197d ago

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

phoenixwing197d ago (Edited 197d 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.

CrimsonWing69198d 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*.

ocelot07198d 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_corn198d ago

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

Juiceid198d ago

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

raWfodog198d ago

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

franwex197d ago (Edited 197d 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.

neutralgamer1992198d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
