I bet it is only Gears 1 and I wouldn't mind that at all.

Raven Down and Gridlock remain insta-classic maps from the first game for me.

Gridlock was easily the best but Rooftops and Canals hold a special place in my heart.
I doubt it but they should give away the first one for free then charge for the others.
Like a crack dealer.

Rooftops is such an underrated map.

I wonder how well this has aged? When Gears of War came out the fact that it was a third-person shooter was somewhat of a novelty. A lot of people doubted the idea of a TPS in the face of the dominance of first-person shooters. Nowadays there are numerous games with TPS mechanics along with other mechanics mixed in. I just don't know how the corridor crawler gameplay design will hold up today.

Source for this?
Would be kinda ridiculous now and whould shed another bad light on 343.
Sry for offtopic.

I was hoping for a collection, but maybe they'll add a Horde mode just for kicks? I may be alone, but I really liked the Gears 2 campaign more as well. But at least there should be more improvements if they're only doing one game...right?

Favorite memory of that map was sniping a grub weapon sliding the sniper. It was great.
Oh and I also blind-fired a guy from across the map, oh the rage! It was awesome!

Oh my god if Splash Damage were the ones to 'fix' MCC.
The message it sends about 343...yikes.

Are you kidding? Most AAA releases nowadays STILL funnel you down a corridor and don't have shooting mechanics that feel as good as GOW1's either.

343i main team are busy on H5, I don't know really how much they were involved in development itself, don't want to take resources from their games I guess
Wish this was just a Gears Anniversary with all the classic maps from 1-3 and the balance of Gears 3.
MP is gonna' play incredibly fast w/ wall bouncing and zero stopping power at 60fps. Scary for newcomers. Unless this is just Gears 1 tweaked to hell and plays nothing like launch day Gears 1.

No one from 343 worked on MCC besides the Executive Producers like Dan Ayoub (who is still MIA since last year)
Everything MCC was a outsourced job.
Blur for the Cutscenes
Ruffian Games for the H3 and H4 port
Saber Interactive doing the H2 campaign
Certain Affinity doing the H2A MP
United front doing the universal UI
But i dont know who worked on the Networking stuff etc, because this was the main thing that was broken in MCC. And still kinda is today.
Never said I bought all of them.
Me and some freinds hopped back on Gears 1 when it got released on GwG a while back. I can tell you it's still as fun as it ever was.
Actually I have made similar posts on a number of occasions. For example my post in this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1002194&page=3
You'll note no one batted an eyelid, same as on most other occasions when I post thusly. How odd :/
I did 'explain' when asked though. Because they made Brink (The last title of theirs I played), which was a pretty bad game.
Yes, clearly I've been imagining all the oversensitive Microsoft fans taking potshots and making ad hominems at me on a regular basis even in threads I haven't posted in because I'm known to criticise Microsoft on occasion.
I'm not the one that should be embarassed, those of you that tried to derail the thread because of my post are imo.

Given High Voltage unfortunately (for them) don't have a particularly good reputation it so people probably didn't bat much of an eyelid because of that. Im pretty sure Splash Damage don't have the same thing. Seems like a given you'd explain something like that on a forum though?
Somehow I doubt people are that bothered at criticism of Microsoft, perhaps its something else about it that people see on a regular basis that irks them?

This is almost as bad as his initial post. Good to see he affects your daily GAF activities.
no my sarcasm meter isn't broken haha
Shouldn't have edited in the spoiler. Now your comment seems pointless.

Played through all four of them earlier this year and they still hold up very well. 1 and 3 especially.

Thanks?
On topic - if Canals is in this, I will be extremely happy. So many amazing sniper battles on this map. Even if this is just a remaster of the first Gears, I can see this doing extremely well.
I have faith in Splash Damage even after Brink.

Its been a while since I've played it, but from what I remember it was very much a corridor you were moving down. I don't really remember any open areas at all, but again its been a while. I agree though, its shooting mechanics felt very good, I am just not sure if it has enough to stay
Yeah, I could see the core mechanics holding up very well, it just seems like it would be a little bare bones in today's market.

So, i hope it will be a good remaster if they do this. Better textures, great AA, 60fps, etc. I think the game will still be great to play.
Think I'll have a Gears night tonight.
Re-installed them all when they let us use external hard drives.
I don't remember much about the first one but in the other three, it's corridors that lead to open areas where the fighting is mainly.
I think.

lol, you really think any of 343's main team was on MCC at any point? Not likely.
What's the Gears 3 population like these days? Ghost town?

Just had a look
551 playing Horde worldwide
116 Beast
About 6000 in the various Versus mode
More than I expected to be honest.
Black Tusk runs tourneys all the time. They are INCREDIBLE with community support and interaction.
They rotate playlists, have events, tournaments, play with fans, and even have a team or two that competes in Gear 3 tourneys.
Gears 3 community is alive and kicking.

Honestly I just want a focus on Warzone and Execution again. I'm not a fan of Team Deathmatch in Gears.
I also miss the lobby system. Everything about it. Make a room, set the match rotation yourself, and just play. Wanna play Gridlock? Set up or find a Gridlock room and have at it. I have never like Matchmaking in Gears and have always wanted thr lobby system to return.

Can you check Judgment? It dissapeared from Top 20 shortly after launch, would love to see number after it became free on GwG.
The number should be high but before it all game modes were at a good 0

You play ranked? Waiting 20-30 minutes for a match and then having people drop out stunk.
This is why having ranked matchmaking is a must

Awesome. Gears1 had the best campaign... tho never played 3
Will definitely pick this up.

I hope they'd put in all the maps, sure some of them were awful *cough cough* rooftops, but I've got so many good memories playing them. Leave all the little glitches in, I wanna be able to walk along the wall at Tyro Station and run around the map for miles before back flipping into the black pit of oblivion. I'd love to roadie run again but, eh, maybe not with kids these days. Damn kids, ruining everything.
As long as Canals and Fuel Depot are in I'm not too worried about the rest. And without the shitty sawed off, least favorite weapon in the series, it'll actually be enjoyable to play again!

How often they rotate or fix Judgment events? I think I only got 6 or so because Epic was so bad at taking care of that.
Gears 1 will always be special. I bought my 360 for that title. Back in the day 19 rounds on Raven Down was the shit.
What about an online package that is mp only with 60% of the maps ever made?
