I can imagine it might be the end. Like JD has thought that his father was a bad guy his entire life, but in the end he fights off a wave of bad guys and finds the buried time capsule with the key to stopping the alien horde. It's not a secret formula or USB drive or even a weapon. The key was JD himself and the note from his father helped explain why Marcus didn't show a lot of love while he was alive.
Cue dramatic music as JD ties the doo rag on his head.

You can also see individual bokeh samples (hence why they do not resolve to a full shape).
Here for example:
funny the file name is "render" though

while later gears bridged the gap some, they never got to the level of those renders

They look great! People seem to have a more positive vibe about this then Halo 5. I guess Rod knows his shit.

Most people acknowledge that on a basic level, 343 got gameplay down in Halo 5. What is divisive is whether the costs of 60fps were worth it.
To me, it was. To others, not so much.

Screens look great. You all know these weather effects are going to provide some hilarious moments in mp.
In MP Halo 5 is pretty much perfect. The campaign is so subpar though. Unlike Gears I think Halos big problem is people have moved on from the chief.

Whats to stop them from moving on from Gears though? I love Halo 4 and 5 but I can understand why they didnt live up to Halo 3. I think Rod knows what makes Gears of War great and seems to take that on without evolving the franchise.
Also I dont think Gears is as franchise fatigued as Halo is.
There's, to this day, nothing that comes close to offering the level of competitive multiplayer in a third person shooter.
Halo has plenty of games people can play instead to get a similar vibe.
Closest thing to gears is what?
Uncharted, and they are nothing alike.
That Gears of War 1 shot was 100% fake. Deception only. The ingame assets are nothing like that.
Lookin freakin sexy
To the people calling bullshots - people at The Coalition helped to develop Unreal Engine 4, so it's no doubt that they are making this look so amazing, and it's still very, very early.
When I first saw these shots a couple days back, I was so damn happy with the enemy design, I was worried because I really did not like what they did to the COG & Locust with Gears Ultimate Edition. They made everyone look so weird with the unnecessary redesigns and the weird skin re-texturing on the Locusts.
They put those doubts away with how these new enemies look, thank goodness!

Disappointed to see that today's new reveal is a handful of images from their magazine feature.
Still, it's great for everyone to get a good look at them. The 'Juvies' look awesome.

Looks great, I hope this has King of the Hill, I spent a ridiculous amount of time with that mode in previous games

They also put out a podcast where they talked about their visit to The Coalition and what they liked and didn't like about Gears 4.

Sounds like they liked most of what they saw. I wasnt blown away by Gears 4 at E3 but this Game Informer has made me excited for the game.
Also I do think Gears fans want a darker ton instead of the epic GoW3 battles.

I am a little surprised with the "looks great", "PC version", or "bullshots" comments to be honest.
Are the graphics in the screenshot (the compressed JPG doesn't help, but this is what we have at the moment) below so great for a Xbox One game? All the textures in the background are not impressive for sure and the lighting too. Also the AF even near the characters is not great either.
Is work in progress for sure but at this state is GOW 4 at "bullshot" level when we have games like Quantum Break or Ryse on the Xbox One?

Just as JD puts on the doo rag a voice in the distance is heard. "MARIA!".

The actual gameplay shot looks really bad based on the image description. For now.
Well, know what will be invading my dreams tonight and turning them into fucking nightmares.
Looks like a hybrid between those cracked out Blade 2 vampires and a regular locust imo.
think he's got enough nostrils?

Looks crazy good, and if those are indeed downsampled screenshots, the PQ will be attainable at 4K on PC. This needs to come out on PC.

I don't understand either. Maybe an inside joke?
I think its because it looks good

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I have a feeling The Swarm will be amphibious in design and nature.

Looks good. I hope they don't mess too much with the Gears of War formula
Yeah same here
Doesn't look bad by any means but yeah it is being blown a bit out of proportion.

I'm actually really looking forward to this as a complete reboot so its new characters and what looks like a more grounded kind of story and encounter design.
I enjoyed Gears 3 but was kind of bored by then of the characters, and though it was quite epic in scale in many of the locations/encounters, I'm looking forward to a more methodical pace more in line with Gears 1.
