Gears of War: Multiplayer majesty!

Taking us through his multiplayer hands on experience with Gears of War is OXM Nab Gil - a man who, to this day, is still quivering from the memory of it all. At least, that is his explanation for the shakes....

I payed off my pre-order of the GoW collector's edition today...november 12th cant come soon enough

God of Gaming6493d ago

I can not WAIT to show this to a couple of my Sony Fanboy friends... they WILL buy 360's after i show them the beauty of GOW

TheMART6493d ago

"that you feel incredibly lucky to be an Xbox 360 owner. This is the game you’re going to show off to friends, to Sony supporters, hell, even complete strangers on the street."

Hell yeah buya nothing like it. PS3 give up this Christmas, because this is going to sell 360's like it's for free!

Scythesean6493d ago (Edited 6493d ago )

let me play TheMART on the PS3 side here.

It's going to suck look at the lame gameplay it's just a pop and shoot game nothing really next gen here. Wow 8 players in multiplayer and the levels are so small it is so boring. I bet the reason why it can only play 8 at a time is that the 360 over heats if they try to push it anymore then that.

Why waste your time with a 360 when the PS3 is the way to go with R:FOM having 40 players and larger maps to play on. This game blows Blah blah blah.

See Mart it's not nice to come over to a topic that I have no intention of playing the game or getting a 360 myself. I did that just because like you, I want to be spitful and bash your game and console. Now I know everyone is going to bash what I just wrote and I don't really care. I wanted to make a point about how sad it is that The MART can come over to our side and just bash away about a console he doesn't want and games he doesn't even care to play.

Have fun with your game to the rest of the real Gamers and just so you know it looks sweet. I hope the PS3 gets great games like this when it's a year old as well. Well Later

It gives us an idiot to laugh at for a few minutes.
Now go on and leave us, go play your ps??? oh wait there is no ps3 yet is there?

Oh, and reguarding your avitar, thanks, we appreciate envy, but it's spelled XENOS not xenu, lol!!

ElementX6493d ago

You can play 40 player online with Resistance but i'm sure they'll scale back the models to look like Halo 1. There's no way you can show the graphical detail in Gears of War with more than 8 players. More players = less polygons.

xboxlj6493d ago

Get a life dude. Whats up with you sony fan boyz hating theMart, because he proves that the 360 is a superior system?

TheMART6492d ago (Edited 6492d ago )

There are a few differences in your story and mine. poster above, thanks for the support

First of, there is no 'your' and 'my' side on this website. This is news4GAMERS.com. Not newsfor360 or newsforps3.com.

Second, you have no idea. I had a PS2 but the DVD drive died after just a year and it's collecting dust, because Sony has a bad servicelevel. They let you pay big bucks and one may wait for months before it's returned. You'd be better off to buy a new one instead. Nice service. MS picks up a broken 360 within a day and deliver it repaired or a new one within one or two weeks for 2 years (overhere in Europe). Now that's service. That's why I am not so happy with Sony after that joke.

But well. If the PS2 would have lived up to Ken's lies, I would be thinking a bit more positive maybe, but it got defeated on graphics by Dreamcast/XBOX. Emotion Engine anyone? The 'great' online system'? With the PS3 I see the lies over again, Cell strong spec's on paper, but for scientific use, not for games actually. 360 has the more optimal CPU for that. Cell = assymetric, 360 GPU is programmed symetrical. The GPU? PS3 spec's unknown? Nope, Sony just didn't put them out because on paper, they would loose from the 360 GPU.

And most important: the games. I have given my props for Resistance some time ago when I saw the first footage running. I said just plain out: this is looking really great guys!

But from that point on it dissapointed. It's just COD3+BF2 with some aliens added. For real. This time around PS3 just hasn't got the games to pay 600+ dollars for.

That's my opinion and this is yours. Fact is that multiple game reviewers say there is nothing like Gears of War. NOTHING. So it's fair to say this one will bring gamers to the system, even former PS fans.

So you may play me, I like it when you do that! Don't forget all the PS fanboys that came over to dish the 360 for having no 1080p (still not nescessary but it's nice to kill the PS fanboy stupidness) and the not needed BR push format of Sony (Betamax, Minidisc, UMD anyone?).

I will keep giving my opinion. Even when Sony freaking fanboys keep spamming me. I hope the others that like sarcasm will give me positive feedback so I get my bubble back. And if not, I'll just make my posts longer I guess with 3 or 4 bubbles. For real, they may do whatever they want I give my thoughts about things like I feel they are.

Gears will sell multiple systems, it'll kill any Resistance and PS fanboys will run over to the 360 demopods this Christmas!!!

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.

Blad3runner00193d 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?

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!

RaidenBlack193d ago

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
