Microsoft teamed up with New Line Cinema in an effort to cross promote The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and the very first public hands-on of Gears of War. Game Informer scored tons of video of multiplayer in action and even got to play the game on the big screen itself.
Shaz from GL writes: “In an interview, Cliff Bleszinski says that he’d be interested in helping develop a Gears of War reboot akin to God of War. Unnecessary? I think so.”
I completely disagree. Outdated in what way? There is literally no other cover based TPS multiplayer game like it and the core gameplay is so good that people still play Gears 1 today. I can't think of any games that has shotgun battles like Gears. The real issue is that there is simply no new audience for it, because the learning curve is so steep. It just needs to market itself better and the work needs to be done on the campaign side. Better to just split up the single player and multiplayer as two different projects and releases.
Also, this who "reboot" discussion isn't considering the fact that God of war doesn't have multiplayer as a significant portion of the game. Single player only games have a lot more freedom to change. With Gears you have to consider that there's an entire community still playing every day, so you can't just change the core gameplay balance. On top of that they can't dedicate as many resources to single player as God of war, because the budget has to be split with multiplayer.
There is no other one like it because there is no demand for that style of game, kinda obvious really. If there was an interest in gears style games the market would be flooded with them.
Gears of War 1 and 2 were bad combat wise.... Story wise too. I beat both of them because of the hype and gave up after that.
I agree. It needs done kind of overhaul, but I don't think a God of War style would suit this game.
I gotta be honest I don't know what it needs, but it needs something ... And 5 wasn't it
Maybe it's a reboot more in the sense of a more emotional storyline or something like God of War, and some small tweaks in terms of gameplay.
Do you have a genuine reason to come to that conclusion, other than it not being a PlayStation studio?
The Coalition probably have the best and most knowledge team on Unreal Engine 5 outside of Epic. I'd have thought if anyone "had the talent", it would be them.
Because they did not do a fantastic job when they took over the ip.
In fact, the majority of ips under Microsoft shows complete signs of cheap development with bigger marketing budgets.
More make up on dated engines can work… but can not be mistaken for innovative.
No innovation equals no ability to push a franchise into anything new.
Take the “open world” introduction in the last gears…
Empty vast traveling areas to get to pre determined “random” encounter areas is a cheap developing approach.. not innovation to build any trust into.
WHOW again, there is nothing out there that looks this good, that plays this good, that has these weaponactions just...
WHOW
hehehe
this, army of two, bioshock, alan wake, mass effect
wow. just wow.
I want to get my hands on GOW. I think this will be a great.
Just Kidding, This game is reving up to be the best game ever(well for a long time). I think even the mighty Halo3 will have to go some to beat this. Personally I can't wait, I'm just iching to play it.
Hey wears DJ. Isn't he supposed to come in and start saying what a great game it is, and than post right after that on how dissapointing it looks. And how it was a low poly count. Stop trying to act like you care in order to make a feable attempt to discredit a AAA title that won't be on your PS3.
