these look so cool what a shame

 

[HTK]

Is he in need of a job?

 

[Chiggs]

It's Diablo-esque, but would I take this over what we got in Gears of War 4 and 5?

Two words: "Fuck" and "yes."

 

[j0hnnix]

Those looks cool af

 

[Barakov]

Definitely better than what we got with Gears 4/5.

 

[adamsapple]

 

[Kacho]

They look insanely awesome. Really highlights how boring and safe the coalition’s handling of the series has been. Mechs were dope though.

 

[pqueue]

the problem is that with Gears 3, you had a definite, absolute destruction/eradication of the Locust horde AND destruction of all imulsion.

There is no reason whatsoever that the story should have continued from that point in any way, shape or form.

Of course there is a reason. Ever heard something called a franchise, companies, business and money? Lol.

dumb reply. i was talking narratively. there is no logical continuation of the story as it was written through 3.

Dumb response. I was well aware of what you meant by that. The point is, companies will find excuses and ways to continue something for the sake of generating more interest and money. Developers and publishers can always find an excuse to continue a plotline.

Look at God of War it was a soft Reboot but is still considered as God of War 4 because because the game references a ton of stuff from the original Trilogy. And they have yet to explain how Kratos went from Greek to Norse pantheon and how he even lived after destroying Olympus by "suiciding* my point exactly.

Same shit with Gears 4 and 5 as the new Trilogy.

Stop living in the fantasy land of where developers or the publishers give a fuck about you or your opinions on whether something should continue or not. If it makes bank, if will continue to be made. Nintendo is still making Zelda and Mario games lol and there is nothing wrong with that and fans still like it.

Stop living in the fantasy land... even though this is a work of fiction.

GTFO, you know what they meant.

Also shit comparison with Mario and Zelda, since none of them are even connected plot wise.

 

[Fredrik]

MS, hire him, I want this

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Games never look as good as concept art.

 

[jaysius]

Thousands of times better than the gutter it's fallen into.

 

[Luc2010]

Those are nice, but I liked Gears 4 and 5.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Kacho]

MS, hire him, I want this

Cliffy offered to help the coalition as an advisor and they turned him down. Then we got the brilliant Gears 5.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

I'll edit my comment to not seem reactionary. These images in my opinion seem like a natural evolution of the original trilogy instead of what we got with 4 & 5. The trajectory of the Gears franchise reminds me very much with what happened to Halo when the main talent made their exit, they simply don't seem to know what to do.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

This thread turned into a dumpster fire real quick.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Definitely better than what we got with Gears 4/5.

I liked Gears 5 but I agree. The new enemies were pretty boring in Gears 4, especially the robots

I never liked the aesthetics of the new enemies either, their blood color always looked funny to me

 

[jigglet]

why would Microsoft listen to this random fan over someone who's actually worked in the games industry before

 

[Goalus]

Not feeling it.
My vision for the future of Gears is humans and locust/swarm becoming friends and working together against a new threat.

the problem is that with Gears 3, you had a definite, absolute destruction/eradication of the Locust horde AND destruction of all imulsion.

There is no reason whatsoever that the story should have continued from that point in any way, shape or form.

They thought out a very good explanation on why the locust survived. And of course there is a reason to continue the story - for all those people who love the characters and the universe and want to see them evolve. If you don't care, play something else. I don't watch Marvel movies for the same reason.

 

[DenchDeckard]

So they somehow mix with nature. I think the underwater ones look good but just adding wings doesn't work for me.

When you can't wrap your head around what someone is saying it's usually better to remain silent than to double down on you miscomprehension and write a novel about how much you don't get it.

 

[vodka-bull]

And instead they annoyed each and everyone of us with the tempertantrum version of inspector gadget.

 

[GymWolf]

Way better than the boring locusts.

 

[Neolombax]

I'm honestly not feeling it, the designs look really generic honestly. But I do like the octopus and shark hybrid though.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I'm honestly not feeling it, the designs look really generic honestly. But I do like the octopus and shark hybrid though.

Just like the franchise so he nailed it.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Underground, then underwater, and then everything goes to space ?

 

[deriks]

Definitely better than what we got with Gears 4/5.

It's not that hard to be

 

[GymWolf]

I'm honestly not feeling it, the designs look really generic honestly. But I do like the octopus and shark hybrid though.

Still less generic than this shit

 

[Three]

Cliffy offered to help the coalition as an advisor and they turned him down. Then we got the brilliant Gears 5.

Didn't Phil call him straight after buying the IP? I think Cliff didn't want to work on it.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

So.... he would have turned them into generic vampire fantasy monsters?

Well, that would have been pretty boring.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Anything would be better than robot enemies we got in Gears of War 4.

 

[Thebonehead]

It was all a dream ...

 

[Thebonehead]

Anything would be better than robot enemies we got in Gears of War 4.

Absolutely awful weren't they. It became a real slog to finish it, In fact it took gears 5 before I could summon the energy to return and complete 4.

I'd see some cover ahead and dread the moment I knew was near of the Robots being dropped off. Rinse .. Repeat

 

[Ceadeus]

Spikes and muscles... dear God that's cheesy

 

[Fart Knight]

Weird ass fantasies

 

[Ozriel]

So just adding wings to the Locust and making underwater sections? Not sure that would have radically transformed the game.

 

[Zok310]

The most generic shit that literally just gave them bigger teeth, longer fangs and , omg, wings.

 

[Lupin3]

Nah! The wings don't work at all. And how would Gears be played underwater? That said, anything would've been better than the 4 and 5 we got.

 

[Bragr]

Gears 4 and 5 are a lot better than you guys pretend.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Still less generic than this shit

 

[GymWolf]

And this is why 343 and coalition should give their job to more capable studios.

 

[The Skull]

Gears 4 and 5 are a lot better than you guys pretend.

Care to elaborate? I've played since the OG and everything from character design, enemy design, gameplay mechanics and world interactivity has taken a step down in the sequels.

 

[splattered]

I hope of there is another gears entry where they get off planet and find new enemies.... I started to type shit out but then thought wait a minute this sounds like outriders lmao

 

[Bragr]

Care to elaborate? I've played since the OG and everything from character design, enemy design, gameplay mechanics and world interactivity has taken a step down in the sequels.

Character & enemy design and gameplay are not far removed from the old ones.

The problem with Gears started in Gears 3, there is a point where we just played too much of the same gameplay, they need to make it feel fresh again. The new ones didn't do that but they still offer the same tactical cover-based gameplay just as well as the old ones.

 

[analog_future]

Better than the dumb robots from Gears 4, but definitely has a bit of a "13 year old edge lord would love this" type vibe.

 

[AJUMP23]

It seems like the locust suddenly become demons and devils. That makes Marcus a fighter in the Lords army.

Living underground he should have made them all mole heads.
