The Coalition released two concept arts of JD & Kait. Two new faces in the Gears series. What do you think?

 

[Village]

dude's design is a bit more... bland

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I think JD's look is a little dull, but his personality from the E3 demo was likable. Kait on the other hand looks quite cool.

 

[grandjedi6]

So which one is JD and which one is Kait?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I think JD needs some work. Marcus got work done between his initial reveal and the final version, so hopefully they can make JD a bit more interesting.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

JD sure is a video game protagonist.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

I love them! Now i want to know more backstory

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I want to like them but they're both kinda dull and IDK why you'd be wearing a beanie in warfare.

 

[NobleGundam]

Interesting. Cogs usually wear full body armor from top to bottom. But they're wearing jeans with ammunition strapped to their lower half. I wonder what the design philosophy was behind on their unique look.

 

[Nev]

9,5/10, would threesome.

 

[Vire]

I think the girl looks interesting from a facial/ethnicity perspective, although all I can think of with the red beanie is Deslin from Second Son.

The guy... needs work. I'll just leave it at that.

 

[TomShoe]

Given the audience the game is targeting, the design works pretty well.

 

[GusZamboni]

small feets? and no necks large as their breasts? humm i am ok with this

 

[Kanye]

hey there Kait

 

[dancrane212]

I want to like them but they're both kinda dull and IDK why you'd be wearing a beanie in warfare.

It's thicker than a dew-rag at the very least.

 

[EBE]

I want to them see them with their heads blown off. This is how I will spend most of my multiplayer time with them.

 

[Mesoian]

I think JD needs some work. Marcus got work done between his initial reveal and the final version, so hopefully they can make JD a bit more interesting.

And hopefully "more interesting" isn't increasing his pec and bicep size 10 times.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

They look like they belong in a different game.

 

[king grimlock]

Kait looks pretty cool

JD's outfit is generic as hell but his face looks generic and unique at the same time.

 

[Fury451]

I actually really like both of those. Kait looks a bit like Uncharted 2 Chloe in a beanie, but it works.

The guy is pretty generic looking admittedly, but he looks proportioned like a normal person as opposed to the half human half truck characters from the other games.

JD is going to live or die based on how much personality the voice actor can inject him with.

 

[jay23]

Hipster chick looks cool

White guy looks dull like others have mentioned

 

[benzy]

Looks a lot better than all of the other Gears' characters.

 

[Acquiescence]

AKA Beefcake & Beanie.

 

[Riptwo]

Imagine Gears of War...but with American Eagle models.

 

[Apathy]

She reminds me of a female Delsin Rowe cause if the beanie.

 

[Terbinator]

Everything was jpg compression.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

A good looking pair. The Hollywood way.

 

[MidnightPass]

JD

is either son of Baird or son of Marcus?

 

[Zombine]

Love is a bond no war can break.

 

[- J - D -]

Are these storefront posters for like a future Urban Outfitters?

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

JD looks bland.

Kait is okay, but I would have love to see her have a more muscular body. Every female in gears are slim unfortunately.

 

[Stevey]

So which one is JD and which one is Kait?

This.
The woman looks good, the man looks bland, not that it'll matter too much as it's 3rd person.

 

[Cathcart]

About as visually stimulating as anything else in Gears.

 

[Sou Da]

JD needs more mass on him.

 

[shinnn]

I think those images came from the Polygon article:

[king grimlock]

JD

is either son of Baird or son of Marcus?

Maybe both? Do we know how the people of sera reproduce?

 

[MidnightPass]

JD looks bland.

Kait is okay, but I would have love to see her have a more muscular body. Every female in gears are this size unfortunately.

are we at the point in gaming that any white male character is considered bland regardless of how they look

i mean what do you expect them to do give him blue hair and a green mustache

 

[flaxknuckles]

At least the guy is blonde

 

[krang]

What is it with the insistence of game developers giving characters normal names with weird spellings?

 

[fedexpeon]

I like JD design.
Average and not a muscle head.
The new armor looks to be more realistic too.

 

[Sharpeye]

Did she steal Delsin's beanie?

 

[TheSeks]

dude's design is a bit more... bland

Nah, the problem is the beefy arms. Are all the dudes injecting in this universe?

At least he looks better than Marcus.

 

[Devilinthiscity]

Huh. Their proportions look more like actual human beings instead of over muscled toy soldiers.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

It continues to look dumb how stocky males are while women are rail thin. Look at the size of the gun compared to her arm.

How hard is it to have women at least look more stocky/muscular.

 

[Mass Effect]

JD looks dull as shit

AKA Beefcake & Beanie.

lmao

 

[KappaFappa]

For tactical swag, use less armor

 

[king grimlock]

What is it with the insistence of game developers giving characters normal names with weird spellings?

Kait isn't a weird spelling though.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Nah, the problem is the beefy arms. Are all the dudes injecting in this universe?

Marcus is a much better design, IMO. JD has nothing unique about him. Face is alright, though. The armor is boooooooring.

 

[MidnightPass]

one thing im interested in is the story

will it just be a story that focuses on these 2 characters...or will we get a squad story

with the 2 or 3 other characters not revealed yet

 

[Brazil]

Kait looks great.

JD is pathetically bland.
