Gears as a series gameplay wise has never been bad. But the much darker tone of the original trilogy compared to 4 and 5, is what made it iconic. Going back to E-Day was the perfect decision.
The original gears games were far more serious than 4 & 5. While 4&5 were fun, they didn’t feel like Gears of War… robots, nerf guns, open world, and so on.
@@PetesVomitController They messed up JD so bad that like 80% of the community chose to sacrifice him and what kind of name is JD anyway. For having that name alone he deserved to go.
Most people fell in love with the series because of the grim dark feel, horror vibes, and being a ground soldier during a war against monsters. That's what Gears E-day needs
What made gears of war so different was the atmosphere and bleakness of it all. It felt like the COG were always 1 day away from failure and the only people capable of stopping it were these big bulky soldiers with no fear. If we can get something that invokes the similar feeling of that first gears of war trailer from back in the day, then we might be onto a winner here.
Yeah IGN is wrong. Just because they are huge doesn’t mean it’s an Arnold movie!!!!!! It was first and foremost a horror action shooter. The jokes are more like them dealing with the trauma of war. They need the bleakness please don’t be quirky humor because modern media doesn’t do comedy very well anymore
ALSO a big part of that atmosphere was the look. Bring back the oppressive grey. We need more gritty looking games in the vein of the early 2000’s. New games look too colorful, cartoony, and “marvel-like” compared to their source material. Look at the difference between new and old call of duty games. Night and day.
As a PS5 player, a new Gears of War is 100% going to make me buy an Xbox Series X. This franchise is incredible and their fans are diehard. I'm really happy that Xbox has seemingly reached the other side and is going to have a fantastic second half of 2024 and 2025.
'A more serious story' No. Gears 4 and 5 are not a more serious story at all. Half the time the main characters dont grasp the severity of a situation with the exception of 1 or 2 cutscenes.
5 had more grasping of severity than 4. Specifically, Marcus chewing out JD for his actions in Ch1 Act , JD and Baird’s relations since Ch4 Act 1, and the downtime post-The Choice
@@Eshdave toward the end of the game, it may only be on insane difficulty but those crawler things that could climb walls and stuff were semi lambent and would explode when you killed them and on insane it was enough to kill you being near the explosion of just one of them
@@Inconvenient_NPC So she didn't follow orders - so what? That's what Gears of War is about, no? Fenix disobeys orders to find his Dad, Dom disobeys orders to find Maria (in a time where humanity is losing cities), Kilo Squad disobeys orders to launch the Lightmass Missile - Hell. JD disobeyed orders earlier in the same game by trying to launch the rocket on Azura.
Please please start off with us in the pendulum wars, seeing Carlos pass away, and a scene of Marcus being in the super short peaceful time after the war(right before eday starts) Then show us the immediate reaction of Marcus witnessing his first locust. Plssss
Gears 1, 2, and 3 are some of the best games ever made. 4 and 5 are completely forgettable and the characters aren’t interesting besides their relationship to Marcus with JD. Del and Kate just aren’t cool.
Long story short, the best thing the Coalition could do with this revamp is to keep it linear, dark, and gory just like the originals... but with a twist. Turn it into a massive horror game! Combine dead space with dark souls and sprinkle the original Gears Of War magic on it (with a huge horrifying war everywhere around you) And voila! You'd have the perfect comeback for Gears of War. Change my mind.
It be cool to have a early on trilogy with dom and marcus again a trilogy of how everything began and how marcus got into a cell at the beginning of gears 1 more jn detail cover that 15 year span
Gears of War is already awesome and fun. No need to change what doesn't need to change. What you need to do is release Gears 1 & 2 on the friggin' PC!!!
It’s seems like the video game industry is suffering from the same problem the movie industry is suffering from. They are out of ideas. It’s telling in all these sequels and remakes
It's worse now. But this has been going on since at least the last generation. When was the last time Microsoft made an AAA exclusive that wasn't a sequel from a franchise born on or before the original Xbox?
They aren’t out of ideas, it’s that it’s safer to make the same things over and over than something brand new, since there’s already existing fanbases for them. The Coalition tried something new which the hardcore existing fandom rejected, so they’re going back to the roots of the series.
How is Gears never fun you always unlock achievements the story is fun you can play online gears was never boring unless your talking about Gears tactics yeah that one is boring
It's not about playing as Marcus. The story dosent evoke any emotions, The characters are mostly shallow and not really likeable and the enemies are nothing compared to the locust
5:18 so it sounds like you want the Rager’s back from judgment as that’s what they we’re basically but did appear again in the dlc for judgement that took place after anvil gate but in wayyyyy decreased numbers
Ragers died out after the first few months of E-Day. The last few were hiding in Halvo Bay during Aftermatj, and if they still survived, the Brash Brigade and their suicidal nature would correct that
@@therookie5714 I'll try my best to summarize. Basically the COG is responsible for the creation of the locusts (who themselves are a representation of a fascist, military first government) instead of informing the common people of the truth of this they choose to cover it up and make sure anyone who had the faintest idea of this truth was killed. There is a lot more to the story but that's just the tip of the iceberg of the whole narrative.
@@therookie5714 Since my earlier comment was deleted I'll be super brief. COG= fascist dictator government, who secretly created the locusts. Anyone who knew of the locusts true origins were all essentially silenced or threatened to be silenced.
When was gears not fun? If you mean the dialogue or action scenes from gears 1 and 2 they're still there in 4 and 5 but these two games had darker story elements. Doesn't mean they weren't fun
First of all, it's not 'Gears', it's 'Gears of War.' Second, it never stopped being fun, it just stopped being a gritty, dark war game that was initially aimed at mature audiences, not edgy teenagers.
ya idk if making gears 5 open world was a “wise decision.” u literally said it yourself they sacrificed the big memorable set pieces of the original trilogy to put in, what was it, 3 big empty wastelands. weird to call that wisdom when u immediately contradict yourself
As for story they make it too complex. It's should situational small stories of the cogs and that it's interesting. The stories short simple short stories tied together. It should be like twisted metal back or heavy metal story structure and organization... They need to distance the viewers from the characters and get out of the 'too close for comfort soap opera story telling.'

Gears of war 3 wasn't dark compared to the first 2. Gears 1 still the darkest.
@@Erandi9 Agreed
Gears 1 felt like a horror game
@@therookie5714 The Berserker encounter the first time, holy crap
@@Erandi9 Dom literally sacrifices himself to save his team and Adam Fenix turns to dust in Marcus’ hands. It’s pretty dark.
I’m glad it seems to be going back to its more gritty and horror routes. Shoutout to OG fans

Gears 1-3 was peak xbox era in the 360 days. Need to go back to that.
on top of that, they had Halo at it’s peak as well. What an era. Xbox was the place to be
Horror, solitude, emotion, don’t be afraid of injecting some more testosterone in to the game.
ALOT more testosterone

Finally back to it's routes.... get away from all of the robots and shiny colors. Back to the grit
Its always been fun lol. IGN even gave gears 5 a 9/10.
Don't think you watched the video
Gears 5 wasn't a bad game it just wasn't a gears game
@@spartan_a1176 Well said
gear 5 was more fun then onter gear of war game to be honesty
@@lusilusi6371 Gears 5 is my least favorite Gears game but it honestly has the best and most fun multiplayer.
In my opinion Gears should have never went open world with 5, I prefer the more grounded version of the first three games.
I’m interested to see where it goes in e-day with the more darker tone
Hopefully with it being E-Day it takes a more horror approach
This game needs cliff b. The master mind from the first 3
Please please start off with us in the pendulum wars, seeing Carlos pass away, and a scene of Marcus being in the super short peaceful time after the war(right before eday starts) Then show us the immediate reaction of Marcus witnessing his first locust. Plssss

So happy to see them going back hopefully this will be the moment they decide to hit the ole reboot button
The franchise doesn't need a reboot, no one wants to see the story start from scratch again.
Marcus Fenix looks like Chris Pine in E-Day
Long story short, the best thing the Coalition could do with this revamp is to keep it linear, dark, and gory just like the originals... but with a twist. Turn it into a massive horror game!

Gears of War has always been fun, the only stumble in this series was Judgement.
