I have a good feeling about this one

SlagWolf1926d ago

After seeing the trailer I have a very bad feeling about this one.
Gears was always a fun dude game that had fun witty dialogue. Fun characters like Marcus,
Baird and Cole. The story was always crap and the game play was a bit monotonous but it had those other things going for it.

This new one looks like it will have none of those things that made the first 3 fun.

Ceaser98573611925d ago

Being a Gears fan i will play this.. Will borrow my friend's xbox and play this game.. Still yet to use 14 days game pass trial. So will use it for Gears.

starsi3601926d ago

Quite liked no 4, but hopefully no more robots in the series. That almost killed it off for me, totally changed the tone. Thankfully they were mainly at the start of the game.

Best thing they could do is move the series more to the feel of Gears 1 - that dark, horror theme was great.

81BX1926d ago

Didn't come close to killing it off for me. However it did feel off for the series. Also the sounds they made in MP made them easier to detect... to me anyway :)

Ausbo1926d ago

The first trailer did have the robots. Let’s just hope they are less of a focus in this one

EmperorDalek1926d ago (Edited 1926d ago )

It just needs the robots to both have a more interesting reason to be there, and to make them scarier. Have them charge at the player, or make them incredibly intelligent tacticians. Enough of this slow walking and shooting rubbish.

Tazzy1926d ago

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssss

DaDrunkenJester1926d ago

Based on the first trailer it seems they will definitely be there, but the new swarm enemies seem to be integrating themselves into the robots creating a half robot half swarm enemy that should hopefully be much more interesting to fight.

Bladesfist1926d ago

Robots were awful, I stopped playing when it got to that bit. They are just not as fun to shoot as the locust. I had the same problem with the later halo games, the covenant and flood are just more fun, robots are boring.

Nice. Looking forward to this. Really enjoyed 4!

81BX1926d ago

Gears 5!!!!! My xbox 1X is and my sony bravia are ready.

Highlife1926d ago (Edited 1926d ago )

What about your xbox pro controller or your monster hdmi cable or your surge protector. 😂😂😂 28514;

Anything else we should know

pinkcrocodile751926d ago

I've got a 55" 4K TV with HDR and we have the Pro and of course the XOX as well.

@81BX is proud of their set up and so am I.

Don't be a tw@t @Highlife, leave your bitter comments out of things

81BX1926d ago (Edited 1926d ago )

No pro controller. Had an elite controller and it broke... MS sends me a new replacement and that breaks in a month! MS isn't exactly know for reliable hardware :(

gamer78041926d ago

I hope they try to make gears 5 mote.colorful and more outdoor areas like they did in 4

DaDrunkenJester1926d ago

Based on the E3 trailer I was seeing frozen landscapes, lush jungles, desert areas and some dark and nasty looking streets and underground facilities. I think it's safe to say we will have a nice variety of locations.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN2h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos6m ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

PassNextquestion4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger2h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto4h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos4h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long1h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel3h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator2h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

H922h ago

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg6h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos5h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola55m ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
