people want gears 3+. Too close to gears 3 and people will whine that they'd just rather play gears 3, too far from gears 3 and people will whine that the game doesn't play enough like gears 3.

Coalition is going to have an uphill battle with this game.

 

[VE3TRO]

This is the annoying thing about "betas" that come out within a few weeks of release. Everyone expects that any actual alpha/beta will be the same as the final code. 6 months before release so much can happen.

Yea it looks rough in these videos but Rod even said its basically alpha and "All of the textures, models, animations, etc. won't be near what they will be in the final game as they aren't fully implemented."

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I think I played too much Gears back in the day, this just looks boring to me.

I have zero desire to play this.

Also the graphics are bad.

Yeah it's going to be tough for them. I wish them luck, but of course they won't be able to satisfy everyone.

 

[SOR5]

Imagine a Gears game where you can

jump and climb platforms freely

 

[Dysun]

After watching that multiplayer clip, I wouldn't have been able to say for certain its from a new game. Looks like Gears 3 through and through

 

[PeskyToaster]

I enjoyed Judgement's campaign with modifiers enabled more than Gears of War 3's campaign...

As for the multi-player, I actually don't remember the changes. All I remember was the grenade had it's own button or something.

If Judgement brought something new to the series, I must of missed it.

Hard to though. They made huge changes. Basically gutted it of everything that made it Gears.

 

[Wabba]

Yeah i would be going mad if i was a dev and watching forums. Haha.

The problem is that nothing feels fresh, its possible to stay true to the formula but still adapt. This video shows that they still use the same animations that they made in 2006.

 

[reKon]

I never owned Gears 3. Is there ANYTHING different from a gameplay stand point, compared to Gears 3? That can be observed at least?

Dont know what they should change really.

Nah. I like sliding around like a crazy person and headshotting fools while they vault over stuff.

 

[DeejayKnight]

Yikes. I thought it was common knowledge that games aren't generally made to look their best until the last bit of development? Six months is a LONG time to get things done.

Not worried at all.

People seem to ignore on every page lol.

No - the gameplay uploaded doesn't show off any of the new mechanics which is part of the reason many are saying it looks the same.

It only shows one new weapon too.

Let's wait to see how the shoulder charge, knife executions and the ability to pull people out of cover change it up.

Rod Fergusson said that footage was Pre-Alpha: https://twitter.com/GearsViking/status/720297587895480320

 

[ryan299]

I'm surprised more leaks haven't occurred. Beta starts next week right?

Lol, so he's lying then?

 

[krang]

Strange thing was that they included Aftermath, which was a pretty decent attempt at a traditional Gears campaign mission, so clearly PCF weren't incapable. It was just an experiment.

So do ignorant gamers..

 

[PetulantChild]

So Halo pre-release got absolutely bashed and hated on for evolving its formula.

Gears stays true to its formula and also gets bashed on for doing so.

You can't win. Gears should stay true to its formula. If anything made the game not the cover, bouncing, gnasher fest that it is; it simply wouldn't be Gears.

This is their first game. I think it's better for them to take little chances here and there instead of radically changing things on their first real outing. Plus, if you think about it it's not exactly like Gears 3 changed much at all from Gears 2. the only real changes from an actual mechanic perspective were Mantle Kick and Bag&Tag which are really just contextual things, the rest of the improvements were really just making the game control better.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Lol, so he's lying then?

Reminds me of the Titanfall beta hehe.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Lol, so he's lying then?

Don't know, but he wouldn't be the first developer to do so.

 

[spannicus]

Why dont we wait a few days and see.

That mantle kick better be more consistent or I can already see the rage on the horizon.

why are you even in this thread if you don't like Gears?

This game is everything it needs to be <3

 

[krang]

Don't know, but he wouldn't be the first developer to do so.

I think that says more about you that that's the conclusion you jump to. Well...what you insinuate.

Is GAF really this ridiculous?

You really are incredible.

Please don't take that as a compliment.

I'm in a Discord Gears group with about 100 members, send me PM if you would like an invite.

yeah it was the worst on gears 3, see how your character jumps over just to be returned and seeing it being kicked back and getting killed

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

And we're done.

I did anyway

Thanks

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

And we're done.

A Pre-Alpha would look different to me...

We have a lot of Devs slapping a "Pre-Alpha" into their Videos and Trailers and at the end the finshed game looked the same or worse than this "pre-alpha"

 

[BlastKiller]

Gameplay looks really good. Time to dust off that Xbone.

Pretty obvious that footage was Pre-Alpha when looking at this other video, but still it's an ugly game. I hope by the end it ends up looking great.

So you're saying you don't believe the developer? Oh, okay.

Ignorance sure is something.

 

[Somnia]

So you're saying you don't believe the developer? Oh, okay.

He's been saying since the beginning of this thread that plenty of other games show "pre-alpha" or "beta" footage and they always end up looking the same or worse.

So basically expect launch Gears 4 to look this bad!

Do they always say pre-alpha or beta when the footage is from closed internal testing and not allowed to be shown?

Because that's what this video was of.

Ask Jumper! He's the one stating that not me

 

[twobear]

i dunno why you're all hating, i personally think it's great that they're using the original UE3 that powered gow1 for that authentic look and feel

Wouldn't mind this in the slightest if it meant crabwalking returned.

 

[Battlesmurf]

Dumb question, can't find specifics (my google fu is weak here)- I'm guessing the retro lancer and sawed off are gone?

Retro Lancer and Digger are gone. I don't think I've seen anything about the sawed off though.
