Of course it's coming. Every big last-gen first-party series for Microsoft and Sony will make their way to their respective newer platforms. It's such a quick hit, and easy money. Why wouldn't you? I imagine this will announced at E3.

I would get it, and only play the first two.
Loved GoW 1 & 2.

Day 0 if true

To me it was just so much fun to play. The cover was very fluid and the gun sounds, the feedback of all your weapons and melee. Gears 3 was my favorite for MP, one of the best MP I've ever played. Lots of content and a lot of fun by yourself or with friends.
For me, it had such a large skill curve and could be played very competitively. The MP was very balanced (excluding the sawnoff) and had a style of play which was very unique. In addition, I think its the game with the most satisfying kills ever.

Plus they all used a variant of Unreal Engine.
I would buy this day one if if included 1-3 with all multiplayer maps. I don't think I would ever need another competitive MP game.
Until Gears 4 comes out

No it wouldn't. We already know that Black Tusk is working on gears 4, whoever is working on the collection is someone else, probably some one who specializes in ports such as blue point. In that case it literally is a case of the collection being additional and not hindering another game.
And of course it is a new Gen, not everyone has played everything. My best friend got a ps4, his first Sony system. He isn't going to get uncharted 4 until the collection is released because he wants to play them in order. For people like him, these collections are huge.

I really hope they bring over the Gears of War PC version with the extra chapter. That would be pretty neat.
Were there other third person shooters that came before it that you were into, or might it just be a genre taste thing?
I've been thinking this same thing as long as the rumor of the remastered collection popped up. I bought the PC version, but there were some issues with GFWL that kept me from playing far enough to get to the brumak fight. You can imagine how thrilled I was.
Yeah, I didn't really have any criticisms of the mechanics, as such. It was clearly well designed. I just didn't really enjoy them.
I never really understood what everyone saw in the weapon feedback though...I thought they felt a bit weak and ineffective.
I dunno, I don't really go out of my way to play TPS I guess, but I enjoyed Uncharted and the new Tomb Raider.
I think maybe Gears was just too relentless with its pacing. There was very little to the game except repeating that same three minute gameplay loop over and over. And as well-designed as that loop was, I wanted more variation.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Confession : I have never played a Gears of War game. Day 1 for me fo' sho'.

1080p/60 would need to be mandatory. I never got around to playing GOW since I hopped on the 360 late. Also, I wish they would at least salvage GOW1 from their wreck of a GFWL store on PC.
Ah ha!
:⎞
There weapon feedback was great in their game. Those shotguns. That torquebow. That hammer of dawn. Catching somebody off guard with them chainsaw in that mansion and you're playing execution.
FUCK. Please announce it at this E3. Will buy Day0.

If they are going to do it, exclude Judgement please.
This needs to happen without any of the mess hmcc launched with
Gears of war 2 always had the most potential but its severe bugs and gameplay issues held it back from ever being great, some teaks to weapons ( that hard aim sniper shotgun anyone?...) gow2 movement speed and movement fluidity gow2 could possibly be the best gow out of the bunch
I hated gears 2 for the longest time because of its failured promises but its potential just with a few teaks has me very excited, played the heck out of gow1/3

Why? The more value the better. You could always skip it.
Well we've learnt that isn't true. The more cogs in the machine (pun definitely intended), the more likely it is to break.
I hope it inculde all of the dlc, like the RAAM stuff.
I know right? I hope it's in there, as I enjoyed some of the sp stuff.

But Gears only used Unreal Engine and doesn't need to run multiple engines at once for any of the games. None of the games would even get Anniversary treatments. I just don't see a Gears collection having the same type of issues as MCC.

Would be a huge draw to get people on Windows 10 game store/ecosystem... just not sure how commited MS are to releasing Gears/Halo/Forza day and date with PC yet.

Not if they're not outsourcing it to a dozen studios.

If you've played Judgment, especially coming off of the original Epic/Cliff games you'd understand that in this case...less is more.

while gears1 was an amazing first entry into the series it simply doesn't play as good as gears3. the cover cancel alone makes a huge difference. trying to go back and play 1 really shows how clunky and stiff the controls are.
Most of the big issues have been server-side and local ones were generally related to matchmaking. I don't think there were any critical issues in campaign/local play on the scale of the online multiplayer bugs.
...which of course they will be.
well phil spencer said halo on pc would be sacrilege and that there isn't demand for forza. so gears is the only on he hasn't spoken about yet.

I highly doubt that Microsoft will make the same mistake twice with their secondary flagship property. Whether they outsource it or keep it under one hood, it'll be done right. They can't afford it not to be done right.
I don't think they have the resources to do it themselves. It will be outsourced. Just depends who to and how many are working on it.
Also bear in mind, most of the contracts with external studios would have been in place before Halo: TMCC shipped, so any issues would've been unforeseeable at that point in time.

At the time it came out "tactical shooter" mean slow paced games like Rainbow 6 Vegas. Cliff Bleszinski said he wanted to make a fast paced tactical shooter, a "stop and pop" game where you're rapidly moving in and out of cover amongst carnage rather than slowly creeping round corners.
That and the multiplayer was brutal with it's no respawns, being the last one left on a team can be tense, and the moments when you still win were mega satisfying.

Sign me the hell up. The first Gears blew my damned mind. I saw it as the rebirth of the NES Contra.

I will be very surprised if we have to wait until e3 for and announcement and until the holidays for a release
Why?
Neither of those things would be surprising... in fact both of these are expected I'd say.
