Given how after the war humanity was pushed to pretty much the brink of being wiped out. Building an army of robots to rebuild their society makes the most amount of sense. Especially since the planet has always been pretty hostile. Loving the new weapons. Hoping the Enforcer is a decent way to drop a gnasher rusher. I do love me some Gnasher vs Gnasher but when two are running at me... I want to take out one first.
“Android soldiers don't really feel Gears of War like at all. It's an interesting idea from a story perspective,”
Yeah, Androids in the Gears universe is something new and I'll take new monster types over androids anyday but I think it will be okay if they are properly woven into the storyline and not the main enemy type. Anyways I don't think we've seen all of the enemy types yet,Rod Fergusson said we should expect even more surprises so I'm thinking more monster types and new weapons. So far they seem to be playing it safe with these camaign videos maybe they do not want to show too much and give away a lot.
I am not really feeling these new enemies, it really dashes my hopes of Gears 4 recapturing the Gears 1 feeling. The first Gears of War had a distinct horror feel to it, every new enemy that was encountered as you played through the first game was introduced with an awesomely done scene that tried to get you tense knowing you were up against one of the world's horrific creatures.
Android soldiers don't really feel Gears of War like at all. It's an interesting idea from a story perspective, but I don't want this to turn into a plot of "Androids are taking over" just to keep the series going because they feel fighting the Locusts is getting stale. I would have liked new enemies that were more monster-like
@Christocolus Very beautiful, the art team at Coalition is pretty solid. And good to know Marcus still feels like Marcus.
On the flip side they still haven't shown many of the boss fights. Replacing Bezerkers/Brumaks for Horde 3.0 will be interesting.
@Abash The plot isn't Androids taking over...Least not yet. The COG control them and they're hunting down JD/Del cause they've gone AWOL/Rogue. If you hear their dialogue it's talking about retrieving them because they're deserters.
And the Swarm are the monster like enemies... Have you not been keeping up with GoW 4 at all?
I'm really liking the fact they've brought Marcus back...it allows Story DLC to let us play him again.
However where the hell is Anya? I hope they haven't done the generic thing games/films do when they do a sequel, can't make use for a character and just kill them off. I wanted to see old man Marcus and Anya fight alongside each other.
The thing about the robot enemies is that it's supposed to be bloody, how can you get that from robot enemies? I just didn't think they would have the resources and the like after the war desolated the majority of the COG and the planet. 100 years fair enough but only 25.
The more I see this game, the more it looks like a true GOTY candidate. Looks F'n amazing and didn't have to skimp on things like lighting/weather/AI/gameplay to do it.
Idk if it was the difficulty they were on but the robots move pretty slow and just slowly move towards you. Rather see the the bots carrying the sub machine gun run around and constantly use cover while the heavies keep you suppressed.
Did anyone notice at 6:54 that you can pick up a custom Lancer, wonder what we can customize besides skins?
I think it's more about the lore these robots aren't your main enemy and they aren't very smart, human was brink of extinction at the end of GOW3, it will be unrealistic if they have super ai in 20 years.
I personally love it! I think the terminator style relentless machines really compliment the Gears theme. And the way they get damaged with sparks and falling parts is a satisfying contrast to the meaty absorbing monsters that we're used to fighting. It adds variety and makes the game look fresher without taking anything away, so i'm all for it.
Robots being an enemy force i would not be in agreement with, but in this case they seem to just be reinforcers for the COG. It will be interesting to see a 3 way battle with these machines, the Swarm, and JD's crew.
Yeah, im sure i'll quickly adjust to it. It doesn't look sucky at all and lets just be honest, most of these games have changed from their roots anyway. Im still looking forward to this.
Not liking the robots makes gears look like mass effect? :( who want's to chain saw a robot! All the other campaign vids have me very excited but this video has made me feal nervous!
When you stop comparing it to other games and treat it like Gears 4 you will enjoy it a lot more. It looks like many other games, how many games have monsters? You could say it looks like Doom, you could say it looks like resident evil? Etc etc. Think of it like something refreshing from only fighting the same type of monsters for almost 10 years in Gears, this type of attitude will lead to them never adding anything new. I think it looks so much fun to break apart those machines and oil spilling on screen instead of blood.
Jack's more advanced than these robots, and he's been in the series since Gears 1, although he was a prototype, but none-the-less humanity had decades of peace to work on the technology.

Not in agreement with robots in a gears of war game but the gameplay does look fun.
