Gears of War Collection coming to X1?(Spencer:"I can't announce that. But stay tuned)

Yeah, but Grapes of Wrath pre-dates Gears by like 70 years. I think it's fair to give it dibs on the acronym to avoid confusion.

Well the Gow crater is 250 million years old, so I think it wins this one...

Well if they intend to announce it at E3, we'll probably get a leak soon. :p When did we first hear of the MCC for reference ?
I'm not sure if I'd be really interested in such a trilogy to be honest. I liked the first episode because it was something new and different, but I never played the sequels.



We know there's one being made, so it's not an "either/or" scenario. The MCC collection didn't stop Halo5 from being developed.

You're right. It's just after how MCC turned out, I'm burned out on remasters.

Chalk it up to me being bitter!

Real talk: a Gears collection would most likely keep my XB1 on for more than a couple days a month as it's been since I bought one.
 
Let's hope whoever does the game doesn't do a worse job than 343.

Gears 1 multiplayer with dedicated servers would be amazing.

The nonsense that would happen with extremely laggy hosts led to some of the most infuriating moments in gaming for me.

This series would really benefit from dedicated servers. Let's just hope that if they advertise dedicated servers for this collection, they mean it.

OK, prediction time.

  • Gears of War: Marcus Fenix Collection
  • Launches November 2015 as the main holiday exclusive (Halo will be in September)
  • Includes all three games
    (sorry, Judgment)
    at 1080p/30
  • Includes Gears of War 4 beta invitation for 2016

Now another little titbit probably worth discussing is that Max from Certain Affinity said on the Unlocked podcast a while back that they were working on an upcoming Q4 title and were handling "all the multiplayer", which is funnily enough what they did on Halo: TMCC...

I would think this collection would be in September or Mid October and Halo (if it releases this year, would be November. Everything else sounds right. Though I wouldn't mind if they just skipped all the bs and announce Gears of War 4.

I think it would be called Gear of War: Delta Squad Collection. I don't think Marcus Fenix has as much cachet.
 
I'm pretty sure there's something Gears of War related coming this year and i will buy it day one.

Please make it a collection with 1080p 60fps...

All signs are pointing to an earlier than normal release for Halo.

Yeah, that's cool. Or The Fenix Collection? The Emergence Collection?
 
Only thing I want from this collection when it eventually happens is for GoW 3's horde mode to still be intact. Love the hell out of horde. Killing Floor is the only game that comes even remotely close to matching it.

Thanks for sharing this bit of information, I have not seen heard about this. I would still question what would MS want to lead as their holiday money maker. Making Halo wait until November would seem more profitable since more people would purchase that over Gears but they would also get the sales of those who can't wait for a game and buy the Gears collection earlier. Either way, I'm hoping for good news this E3 about both Gears and Halo for this year.

of course he cant, god of war belongs to playstation

get it right, gow =/= gears of war.

It does actually. Its why people who say GoOW or GeOW look ridiculous to me. In almost all cases you can easily tell which game is being referred to making any clarification unnecessary. This thread title being an example. They are equally huge franchises, something like this would only he necessary if one was obscure.

I'd be really bummed if they don't get it running at 60fps.
 
Will buy 2-3 months after release. Hedging my bets against another MCC shit-fest and buying after a price drop makes sense.

Never bothered with Judgement. I know its considered sub-par but I hope its included.

Yep, Gears of War may even have it beat in total sales, and even worse if you don't include all of the God of War spinoffs.

THe only real question is: will it contain 3 or 4 games?

My guess is just the first 3.

They are keeping Gears of War: Judgment as a freebie in case multiplayer does not work...

And because no one in their right mind would want to play Judgement over the others, at leas in MP.

Agreed! If it comes with datacenter selection like titanfall then day one for me. Anything else and I will pass.
 
As nice as it'd be, it doesn't need it. Gears is one of the few games where I'd rather see the visuals cranked up than the framerate.

Yeah, but after they got both Halo 3 and especially 4 running 1080p@60fps in the transition from the 360 to the One, I'm optimistic they can make it just fine.

+Add to your list the extra level the PC version had of Gears 1!

Ya, I assume if they could get Halo 4 to 60fps then it should not be a problem.

Yeah, that message doesn't really say anything.

This is one of my favorite franchises though from Xbox and definitely would be day zero for me.
