Gears of War 4 - Launch trailer

Microsoft's brilliant strategy of releasing all their games in a two month window is really paying off again...

you say it like if Microsoft games were a genre or something, i have never ever bought a forza game, and i have bought all gears games. i dont think the fans overlap that much just because these are "MS games"

If only we lived in a world where we could buy and play games some time after they are released.

If only.
 
Or you know, you can buy one game, complete it, then buy the other. It's not like they're going anywhere.

This is not true for someone obsessed with online playing. You really want to be there day one with your friends. In this case my Forza Community is slightly bigger than my Gears' so yeah it is a choice that I really hate having to take.

that's fine for single player games but I want to play games like this near release when people I know are still interested. It's very hard to go back to a mp focused game six months later when its moment has passed and it's competing with new stuff.

anyway, no more derailing with snark. Gears looks awesome.
 
Where's the most interesting character?! Of cours I'm talking about Baird.

I hope Baird is rotting in a deep grave. I was so disappointed in Gears 2 when he was locked up by the Locust and was totally fine when you found him. I wish he would've shot himself instead of Tai.

I don't like Baird.
 
Of course it's another cover song...

That actually looked really good. I hated the beta but might pick it up for the campaign. Marcus looks badass.

Visuals really give Forza Horizon 3 a run for its money for best visuals on the Xbox One. The lighting is pretty incredible.
 
I'm perfectly content playing this and Forza for months till CoD4 is released separately. The only games I own are strong multiplayer games (Overwatch / Siege. Had only Siege for the longest). So adding two more multis for the rest of the year is gonna be a nice feeling.
 
I doubt they'll kill Marcus, just screwing with the viewers to think that's gonna happen.

Already pre-ordered, so ready for the campaign, multiplayer, and horde.

And why are none of you talking about the possible boss shown in the trailer? He looks huge and threatening; I've always loved the Gears villains (Raam, Skorge) and am ready to kick his ass.

One more note: I see variety of gameplay in this trailer! Motorcycles, Mechs, and enemy variety! Always love it when games do variety with enemies and sequences.
 
I'm feeling nothing towards this.

I'm sure I'll enjoy playing it, but I feel that the setting and gameplay is starting to feel a bit stale isn't it?

What do you suggest they change so that the series won't be stale for you? Convert Gears into a FPS?

The Coalition doesn't need to do anything disruptive to the series. They are handling everything the right way and I applaud them for it.

Day -4 for the PC version, I enjoyed the trailer (and Cole Train)!
 
What a garbage version of Nothing Else Matters used in the trailer. MS spends millions upon millions in marketing and they go for the cheap indie non Metallica version? Other then that the trailer was hype
 
Crappy cover aside this was awesome.

But Cole is going to die isn't he? I think it was his chopper that crashed.
At least he goes out with a WOOOO, like a boss.

I wonder if Anya's dead considering it seems like Marcus has been shown as being pretty much alone. Also, I wonder where my Aussie lady Sam is at.
 
The trailer is so uninspired. GOW2 and 3 had better launch trailers by far.

Marcus Fenix has a different face now.

First thought that came to mind when I saw it this morning but then I remembered that this is the trend this gen. To be fair, this is one of the better cover songs to grace a launch trailer so far this gen.
 
COLE!

Game looks great

What a god awful cover though. If they don't wanna pay Metallica, then at least use Sully Erna's version.
 
I will get this game but not sure when. I just lost my Gears of War virginity a few days ago when I started playing Ultimate Edition. I'll probably play 2 and 3 before playing 4.
