Gears 5 Announced at Microsoft's Press Conference

It's time for a new chapter in the glorious Gears of War franchise, and Microsoft just announced it at its press conference from E3 2018.

[ZaWarudo]

I honestly did not expect Gears 5. Lets hope they don't try to appease the casuals again.

And dat Gears Xcom tho!

[Tito08]

There's a girl in it as main, likely that's what they're trying to do.

[King Nezz]

To be fair, I personally like her character. If It were another game, I would say "oh look, feminism rears its head yet again". But with Kait, she has her own story and finding "herself", which I find interesting and want to know her family's origins with the locust.

[PUBG]

She's a great character, and the great thing about her, is that she's the complete opposite of an SJW feminist, which makes me happy!

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

Where is this franchise at now? I'm confused, does this take place after or before Gears 4? That girl looks like the girl from Gears 4 which I did't play. I stopped playing Gears after part 2 but I've seen trailers of Gears 4. So is that the same girl from Gears 4? And Marcus looks younger than in Gears 4 though. I'm totally confused where this franchise is at.

[DarkVoyager]

All this sounds great. Especially the 4K 60fps across all modes.

“Never Fight Alone. Play solo or with a friend in local split-screen co-op, or online co-op. Battle alongside your friends anywhere with cross-play between Xbox One and PC.”

“Explore Sera. Skim across glaciers, sail over deserts and descend into sunken ruins to discover the largest and most diverse Gears world ever created.”

“Visual Showcase: Play every mode in 4K Ultra HD resolution with stunning HDR at a smooth 60 frames per second.”

Gears Tactics is an excellent fit for that genre. I really wanted to see more of that game

[Godmars290]

That actually looked...good. More like an action title than 3rd person shooter. Interesting story sting

[Omnislashver36]

Ikr, I wasn't interested in 4 but I'm liking this. I think MS made some good moves, if they make some progress nex-gen I might buy one.

[masterfox]

A female lead ?, I mean this pretty obvious why they went for this character and sadly is not because of the Gears of War universe, can I at least put a Carmine helmet ? :D

[slate91]

I thought it did have to do with the gears universe? Arent the locust looking for her as a new queen?

[annoyedgamer]

I see the lady trend has taken over Gears...

[Deep-throat]

Since Gears of War 3 2011 :p

[Bobafret]

She was an integral character in Gears 4 so this is not a case of "checking off a social justice box".

[Nyxus]

Why does Marcus Fenix look much younger than he did in Gears 4? https://images.everyeye.it/...

Anyway, this does look great. Looking forward to playing it!

[PhantomS42]

XD that's what I said and there is a considerable time jump from 4 to 5.

Shaven beard

[Bobafret]

Sera is also a haven for plastic surgeons apparently. Definitely looks like botox.

[gangsta_red]

This game looked really good, but I was especially impressed with Tactics. Being a huge Xcom 2 fan I really wanted to see more of that game.

[OffRoadKing]

But what if you want to play as a male character, wheres the equality?

[Gazondaily]

Is this a joke comment?

[notachance]

Phil Spencer: "we won't do early announcement again"
also Phil Spencer: "ayy look no release window for the new Halo and Gears"

[Sm00thNinja]

Kate is a much better and interesting protagonist as opposed to JD. Probably the most bland character in Gears history. This change is welcome

[Scar-]

Lol SHE WAS BLAND ALSO. The only standouts from the cast of 4 was Marcus.

[Sm00thNinja]

I can't really... Argue that but out of all the bland characters she was the least bland lol

[jc12]

Looks really fun to me.

[chiefJohn117]

Not going to lie, this look like the most interesting gears yet
