OOh, this is going to be fun! I CANT WAIT.

 

[Xav]

Looks great, plays like a 2006 title.

Can you even shoulder switch?

 

[pizzacat]

We will have updates on those soon!

Good to hear, the changes from the beta maps in gears 3 to launch surprised me for the first few matches can't wait to see what you guys got in store

Looks great, plays like a 2006 title.

But it plays nothing like gears 1?

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Environmental weather/storm effects looks really damn good. Imagine if Scorpio was the target and not X1....

Can only imagine how it would look at 1440p/4K on PC. Looks good to me, Day 1.

 

[RipperGrim]

Did you leave it on to the tornado? Because up to then I was a bit.... meh... but I think the tornado was one of the most impressive things I have seen.

The weather affects were cool but the rest seemed to be nothing special.

Yeah, it's pretty bland in terms of environmental detail. Particle effects are all really unimpressive (blood and the exploding alien blob things especially), you can really tell where they are holding things back to keep the framerate up (and even that drops really bad in some places). They kinda cover it up at the end with weather stuff, but yeah, meh.

Yea pretty much what I noticed, at least the wind affects were pretty good and the character models seemed detailed enough.

I think it looks great. Really liking the UE4 particle effects. I have to consider getting this on PC.

I'm not saying it looks terrible or anything but it's not really a cut above other games that have released recently.

 

[R3TRO]

That...Actually looks good. I'm surprised tbh.

 

[Strootman]

Looks like gears of war.

 

[Corpsepyre]

They could have left Marcus as a surprise. Fuck are they doing?

 

[VinFTW]

Good thing this 2006 TPS plays better than any TPS until now then

 

[LordBaztion]

destruction seems well implemented but the pace of the action seems way to controlled, I guess this gameplay is to show their physics tech.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Don't why you guys are happy that means Marcus going to die

I was going to say he prolly gonna get murdered.

Also, I do think that someone mentioned that it uses a dynamic res didn't they? This is regards to an earlier posts. Not trying to derail.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Looks great, plays like a 2006 title.

Can you even shoulder switch?

Yeah. Needs a grappling hook and open-world play to be like a current title.

 

[Stillmatic]

I just can't unsee the inconsistencies in the physics. It's obviously for gameplay reasons, but just looks silly. Apart from that it looks great, voice acting seems a lot better than previous games. Can't wait to play it down the line.

 

[idonteven]

the walking and running just looks so weird im never getting used to it

 

[Conduit]

Link?

Gears of War 4 employs a dynamic resolution system

 

[Warxard]

Don't why you guys are happy that means Marcus going to die

Did Hoffman die?

Did Bernie die?

Nah

 

[aBarreras]

that looked great, cant wait for this game

 

[spiderman123]

From a technical perspective looks redundant and not that graphically impressive.

Hope they showcase more innovative aspects into the franchise in the upcoming weeks.

Edit: I don't mean just the weaponry

 

[Panda Rin]

Looks exactly like the previous Gears. Don't have a problem with that.

 

[op_ivy]

so goofy that you can shoot tiny barricades and have the wind send cars and massive pipes across the battlefield and yet young marcus and crew can walk through those same winds unimpeded. kind of takes me out of the experience.

 

[Gamezone]

Is the game a bit dark?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Gears of War 4 employs a dynamic resolution system that tweaks the game's rendering resolution in both single-player and multiplayer to maintain its target frame rate in each mode (30 frames per second and 60 fps, respectively).

I'm pretty sure they came out and said that info was incorrect from Polygon. Specifically the stuff about XB1 S running the game better than regular XB1.

 

[w0s]

PUMPED! Though this is the last video I am going to watch...or at least try to have this the last video.

 

[Falchion]

Looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Guymelef]

Weather aside... visually nothing impressive.

 

[Conduit]

I'm pretty sure they came out and said that info was incorrect from Polygon. Specifically the stuff about XB1 S running the game better than regular XB1.

Maybe this one was about ( later confirmed ) that Xbone S will upscale all games to 4k. Dynamic resolution has nothing to do with Xbone S "additional power" Rod was asked before ( during GeOW 4 beta ) in which resolution will be final product. He said native then. Now he said dynamic.

 

[etta]

Looks fun to play and visually great. Can't understand people saying its graphics are bad, but not surprised. Same with "plays like something from 2006".
Not surprised one bit.

 

[Sirolf]

Hope the game is HDR10.
Does anyone know ?

 

[Duxxy3]

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

DF will likely analyze the trailer anyway. Art looks great regardless of resolution which has me excited. I'm a huge Halo 5 fan but I think the art could be improved a great deal, so it's nice to see Gears 4 getting the right treatment.

Hope the game is HDR10.
Does anyone know ?

Already been confirmed that XB1 HDR games are using HDR10.

 

[abracadaver]

Marcus being in the game would have been an awesome surprise while actually playing it. Why do they have to spoil it months before release?

 

[Complicated]

Damn that looked really good. The weather/physics simulation is impressive and makes the fights much more interesting.

 

[CrayToes]

Looks great, plays like a 2006 title.

The 2006 title that pretty much perfected this style of TPS?

 

[c0de]

A game without climbing shouldn't release in 2016.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Not surprised one bit.

We should make up a Talk Down Xbox Game Bingo Card.

We'd need about 108 boxes though for all the members names we'd need to check off and the phrases they use, lol.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

yeah

Marcus Fenix reveal and being part of squad would have been a great surprise.

I have no idea why they did this. You're absolutely right that if done right that could have been an awesome moment for Gears fans to see Marcus Fenix join the crew.

Gameplay looks like same ol'Gears but way prettier. And I'm perfectly fine with that.

 

[IronicSonic]

I think it looks great, but Im not a Gears fan anyway

 

[Clark W Grizwald]

Marcus being in the game would have been an awesome surprise while actually playing it. Why do they have to spoil it months before release?

Why wouldn't he be in it? He is the Master Chief of Gears of course he is in the game.

 

[RazMaTaz]

Sorry for the slightly off topic question, but is this a simultaneous release for PC too? I keep seeing this message on microsoft website saying "play anywhere". Could anyone weigh in please?

 

[Strootman]

Yes, it's simultaneous.

 

[nOoblet16]

Looks great, plays like a 2006 title.

If you really thibg this plays like Gears 1 then you don't know much. "Looking similar" and "playing similar" are two different things, the latter has changed over the years and this one plays like an improved version of the third game which is very different from the previous one and was already close to being perfect. The former on the other hand is a non issue.

Gears's movement based gameplay is still unmatched and the proof of it the multiplayer....that no other game till date even remotely manages to compare with.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Looks great, plays like a 2006 title.

They've improved on the original over the years, making it a lot smoother but there's not much you can do. Gears of War is just perfect to play.

 

[Xumbrega]

Best Gears 4 gameplay so far.

Looking good.

 

[supernormal]

Yes! I'm really liking this environment in comparison to the ones they've previously shown. I agree with some that it's not the graphical powerhouse you'd expect it to be, but that's because people usually hold Gears at a higher standard since the series has always been groundbreaking graphically. I can't help but imagine what this would look like had it been designed for the Scorpio.

 

[CrayToes]

Honestly though, the game isn't exciting me much at all. Between the campaign demos and the MP beta, it just feels so safe. I think all of the 343/Halo shit probably scared them away from trying something new which is a bummer.

I'm still looking forward to playing on PC though. It'll look great at 60fps/1440p.

 

[Traxtech]

Wow, they should have kept Marcus joining hidden until people got the game in their hands and actually played it. Bah

 

[Xav]

The 2006 title that pretty much perfected this style of TPS?

Vanquish came out in 2010, not 2006.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

For folks who aren't wowed by the graphical fidelity it's important to remember that with the OG Gears last gen it was the first time console gamers were exposed to HD graphics as opposed to this gen. We've been exposed to HD graphics for almost a little over 10 years now.

Any wow factor for this title has been mitigated somewhat by this.

 

[CrayToes]

Vanquish came out in 2010, not 2006.

Didn't realise Vanquish and Gears were the same style of TPS.

 

[Warxard]

Vanquish came out in 2010, not 2006.

Not with those pea-shooter ass guns in that game lmfao fuck out of here

vanquish lmao God damn that was a good laugh
