Games have nabbed action and characters from the silver screen, but have forgotten the human element.
As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.
(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)
All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
Marcus Fenix and the crew could be back on your screens once more, as the rumored Gears of War Collection is near completion on Xbox.
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
tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear
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."
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*.
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.
A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.
See: every WW2 shooter that lifted the Normandy landing from Saving Private Ryan because they thought it was "cool".
This is a problem for AAA games, certainly; rooted in a desperate need to be cinematic to ensure sales and disregarding the strengths of the medium. But not a universal one. We do get titles like Ico that do things right. They're just a minority, sadly.
And Hollywood took it from books, and books took it from historic events.... so?
Inspiration has to come from somewhere.
I think you guys are missing the point. This guy is saying game writers are just blindly taking ideas because they sound or look cool, instead of why they are important.
What I don't like about this kind of story is that the author often fails to balance the issue with examples of good story writing.
Plenty of games deliver solid stories, inspired or not by common tropes.
Take Persona 4 as an example. It is a superbly cliché, teen-thriller story, but then it manages to include many taboo subjects in it's character, like homosexuality, gender confusion, suicidal tendencies and objectification.
I understand that jrpgs are not what most would call mainstream games, especially not Atlus', but these games still sell well into the 100 000 copies. That is probably more viewers than some art house movies dealing with the same subject matters...
