I played Gears UE right at midnight on launch. Had it digitally preloaded, so hopefully I get a code right on Monday in one of the first waves.

First Gears of War 4 Beta Gameplay
- Thread starter JumPeRJumPzZ
- Start date
I expected to look at least a bit better than the 3rd, but like others said this is supposedly pre-alpha, so i guess we have to wait and see.

Ha!
I'm pretty sure I played UE on launch day so I'll be happy to get a code on the 18th. Hopefully the download size isn't too big.
They said is not a "big download" but nowadays that would mean like 15 GB or something lol
Hahahahah, mate, you thought wrong on so many levels.
Maybe they should add swinging ropes like uncharted 4. Maybe then it would get bashed less. Look guys! Ropes! OMG!!!

Can we please just not?
Coalition had to get a AAA game out in like what? Less than 3 years?
This is their first game and people should keep that in mind.

I played on day one myself, so fingers crossed I get in early.
As luck would have it, I finish early on Monday and have Tuesday off for working the weekend.
Really intrigued to see what beta unlocks are on the horizon. Hope there are some cool character skins.

The campaign is where you'll see the crazy detailed visuals. The primary focus for multiplayer right now is frame rate. 1080p in both modes, 30FPS in campaign, 60FPS in multiplayer.

Cool, i own UE since its release on XboxOne. And played it day1. I wonder if the code stuff will work
EDIT:
This doesn't look too hot neither.
What the fuck is this. Ever since people bitched about Gears 1 color palate, which for the life of me i can't understand why because it looked amazing, they've tried to "color" everything... lots of washed out browns, really blah looking.
This really does look bad

Was just about to post this.
Hope there are some JD-related stuff. I'm a Fenix man through and through!
As a result, I've always got my favourite character in MP as soon as I joined a match as Marcus was always default.
I thought you were german? (Or was ist austrian?)Cool, i own UE since its release on XboxOne. And played it day1. I wonder if the code stuff will work

And this time around germany isnt excluded from the Code stuff. So there should be no issue.This doesn't look too hot neither.
Am I crazy or do the graphics and color palette scream Fallout
Wat? How did you get them?Im german. Regardless of that i got all my Gears BC Codes

Ive posted in the Xbox.com forums. They created a section for the Gears BC stuff there.
you gotta have serious perseverance to work in the gaming industry. i'm surprised more people don't quit
Why would anyone market a 60fps game, with a 30fps movie?
Ah sorry, didn't see it posted, still cool though.
It's running at twice the resolution and framerate with a hardware that is only about 7-8 times more powerful, and no doubt it'll feature some modern rendering techniques unseen in Gears 3 such as PBR, higher resolution textures etc. But I doubt you'll get much more than what you got out of UE...which in itself was worse than Gears 3 in few areas (specifically the shadows, particles).

Okay.... well i guess they still have time and it's a beta afterall. But damn.
Marketing, they just don't get it.
Wow that really does look iffy. I hope they can make it look better by launch.

Love the swarm getting sniped in the truck!
Looks good, obviously will look better come launch as this is unfinished, early slice or the game to test network...but you guys already knew that.

Oh shit
This looks great. OK, some of the textures are really poor (the hair being one example). They are so bland they won't be the final version, I am pretty sure of that.
So now there is limited amount on active reloades? Did't knew about it and I like that change.
But that executions on not downed enemies after taking them from behind the cover will cause a lot of rage online. I don't really like that change. Mantle alone was really random in Gears 3 and now with one button kill afterwards it will be even worse.

I really really hate that new move where you pull a guy over the cover and then execute him. Literally takes the skill out of the game in that situation.

My biggest hope for Gears is that they follow the Halo lead of content distribution.
The paid REQ system works perfectly and means all other content updates are free. The amount of support Halo 5 has had since launch is outstanding.

I was thinking the same, but maybe we haven't seen the counter to it (if there is one?)
Not really. If you're behind a piece of cover opposite of someone else you are bound to be either
-blind fire killed
-mantle kicked into Gnasher kill
Just don't share cover with an opponent.
They want to avoid this.
lol
If you can't juke them like you can a mantle skill I would understand but it seems like the properties are there and it seems like the animation would stay for a bit if baited correctly
They want to avoid this.
To avoid that you don't necessarily need to take away other options, just improve the AI enough that they flank more effectively, or have other tools or weapons at their disposal to draw you out.
ai?
this looks much better

My biggest hope for Gears 4 is the same - no paid DLC, and a lengthy free-content rollout that doesn't fracture the community, and rather inspires players to come back monthly.
My biggest fear for Gears 4 is that they'll compromise the Horde mode with a REQ-system equivalent to do this.
Lol that's great. While before you were able to rush to the same cover, opposite side and outplay your opponent using movement, aim down sight and/or blindfire smartly, now you're just gonna have to lay back, slow down the game or be killed by a Press-A-for-awesome move.
Off to a good start.
Free maps is a must. A real must. Coalition of you read this. A must.
