>FINALLY GEARS OF WAR ON PLAYSTATION >no one cares>flopsI know everyone rightfully gives 343 shit for running Halo into the ground, but The Coalition doesn’t get anywhere as much hatred, despite running one of the xbox’s flagship series into the ground. Will Gears ever be popular again? I can’t see even the upcoming game saving it.
>>724904989All they had to do was port Gears 2 and 3 to PC with decent netcode to make barrels of money but they wont do it.
Should have been a Gears 1-3 pack instead of YET ANOTHER RELEASE OF 1, since it'd also give PCbros an excuse to pick it up finally and finish the series.lolJudgment
>>724905131>>724905227Agreed. But they won’t do that since that would actually require some level of effort. Reloaded just seems to be Ultimate Edition at a higher resolution/framerate for consoles and a more soulless color palette. MS really doesn’t give a shit about this series anymore. It’s a shame, I miss unapologetically dudebro games with tasteless gore and roided up protagonists. Not that you’d even get that with GoW 4 or 5, since they went out of their way to make everything so faggy and forgettable.
>>724904989Feels like the sort of thing that just doesn’t have much appeal in current market, this style has expired
>>724905614>and a more soulless color palette.I don't know how you could go more soulless than the original's colour palette (the only version I played). Game was a lot of browns, and a lot of greens, and not much else. although I recall people bitched about Ultimate steering too hard in the opposite direction of that in comparison.
>>724904989Steam has a 24 hour peak of less than 250 players. I cant imagine cross play breaking over 1k at peak hours.FUCK Coalition and especially FUCK Microsoft for letting this series die
>>724906496Muh grey and brown was part of its charm. The lack or color added to the grittiness. They went into the opposite direction with later releases, which hurts the atmosphere.
>>724904989>online connection requiredRetarded ass release. I still don't like it because its a demake and the original has better atmosphere and colors but I may have been slightly interested if this was at least a decent enough remake. But no its just a 1:1 but inferior and requires the internet for you to download the whole thing.
>>724907205Feels odd saying this since I’m an oldfag who still sees GoW as a “modern” game. But GoW games are now seen as “old” and “for boomers” since they still offer a straightforward multiplayer experience without extraction shooter, hero or battle royale faggotry, which youngfags don’t find as appealing. I don’t know if they can ever make this series appealing to younger audiences? No matter how much marketing they do or how much they improve it. We got old. Shit sucks.
>>724907726I dont think it has anything to do with the games themselves but everything to do with the release being a buggy mess of cash grab and a re-re-release.If they stepped up and made MCC but for Gears and made it playable it would attract new players too.But no. Microsoft continues to be the worst company on Earth exceeded only maybe by Blackrock.
>>724907686If you’re on PlayStation you can apparently play the campaign offline and without a download according to the Does it Play website. This is quite rare for a Microsoft release since they love making you download the entire game even when it’s a supposed “physical copy.” I’ll probably get it when it’s like $20 desu.
>>724904989They ported fucking Gears 1 again instead of giving people 2 and 3 like we've been asking for a decade.
No more coverslop.
>>724904989Deserved for not putting the full game on the disk
>>724908360It makes sense to port 1 if you're going over to a new platform though
>>724906496Gears of War 1 OG was beautiful so please shut the fuck up, I understand you enjoy super mario and like the game to have clear distinct colors, and that's OK, but stay in your lane.
>>724908478Should have been the Fenix Collection like MCC. All multiplayer and crossplay included. Bunch of idiots.
>*kills off your series for good*As lame as 4 was they still had a chance to come back from it. But no they made you play as one of the most unlikable characters of all time in 5. It’s very telling that their next game is about Marcus and Dom again instead of continuing 5’s story.
>>724908678I agree with you, it just makes sense from a lazy studio standpoint.
>>724904989>Make game associated to your brand multiplat>Release it on other brand's platform>flopsIt's almost like not keeping your games exclusive doesn't help you in the long term... almost...
>>7249083602 and 3 are on PC, but you may as well emulate the games' campaigns if that's all you care about.Yes >xenia but if all you care about is the gameplay and story and don't care about the visual artifacts, that's the best you're going to get. I know MS loves to make idiotic decisions, but they probably won't release GOW2 or 3 right before or shortly after e-day releases. Oh, and by the way, that game is also going to be a shitshow. I don't need to tell you why, but it's going to be entertaining seeing peoples reactions once they finally play it.
>>724908559>>>724906496 (You)>Gears of War 1 OG was beautiful so please shut the fuck upIt was technically excellent, but I was very tired of every stage having one single colour grade assigned to it for the whole level. Think it was the first game I played on PC that went ham on parallax maps. Would stare at bricks on the ground/walls for awhile.And then being disappointed that most PC games that following year didn't make use of that tech for quite awhile
>>724908986Just wait until you find out that the Gears 1 PC port (which is what my first pic is from) is royally fucked up due to how people can fly handled the port. Total afterthought to push GFWL, just like h2vista. But yes, most of the Gears franchise heavily relied on postFX and shaders to help bring a scene to life. I understand being sick of the game having the same color palette the for most of it, but there is very subtle contrast differences in once scene. Gears 3 was an overcorrection, gears 2 was probably the sweet spot, but everyone who hated Gears 2's color choices back in the day also didn't play gears of war until the next one came out; hardcore fans continued playing it and didn't care. Gears 4 is when the franchise started losing its identity in a very public manner. Judgment doesn't count because it sold 250k copies on the 360, just months prior to the XBONE.
>>724908946>>724908986
>>724905131I honestly thought they were going to do the MCC equivalent for Gears, basically just run at higher resolution on modern consoles/PC, slightly update the controls, bundle up a stack of older games and call it good
>>724909476>is royally fucked up due to how people can fly handled the portI never played the 360 version, but without any context, the PC release looked and ran solid for me, better than most AAA for PC that year. Oddly enough the PC release didn't care about the DVD after the initial boot-up, and it allowed connecting via local network, so I was able to play it bro-op on the LAN with my brother with just one legal copy.>FFXII came out on PS2 the same year Gears 1 hit 360Jesus fucking christ that's a visual gulf.
2>3>1>dogshit>4>5Agreed? Good.
>>724911009No, if you're talking multiplayer anyway. 3>1>2 is the order, idc about the rest
>>724912635I preferred horde and the campaign in 2 over 3. But fair enough.
I don't even want to play this and I've been dying to play gears again, I just want 2 and 3 though not really into playing 1 again. Should have just done it on the cheap and kept it campaign only and sold it for like $20.
>>724913264Yeah 2's campaign was good. I didnt really like the Locust queen in 3, but the multiplayer more than made up for it.To this day there isnt a game that has the same feel as Gears 3 execution. Everything was extremely polished and it felt great to play.
>>724904989Reloaded sucks The only reason they don't redo Gears of War 3 is because the series peaked there with the best multiplayer. They want you to buy their new shit which doesn't really add much to an already complete game. Gears 3 only needs dedicated server support and that's it. Let it be, like Team Fortress 2.
>>724904989It’s going to be even funnier/sadder when it happens to Halo. I bet that soulless Halo campaign is going flop hard.>halo without multiplayer LOL. LMAO.
I bought it love the Dualsense implementation.
>>724914019>Gears 3 only needs dedicated server support and that's it. Not even. I'd take purely p2p multiplayer like Gears 1 had on the 360 so they dont have to pay server costs but they STILL won't do it
>>724914102How's the chainsaw finishers feel on it?
>>724908946why is marcus fenix in skyrim
>>724914194Bro, I miss this nigga like you wouldn't believe!
>>724904989Why couldn't they just collect all the games in one collection like Halo did with the Master Chief Collection?
>>724915552Reloaded is basically ultimate edition with a few enhancements. Remaking 2 and 3 would require more effort and pajeetsoft aren’t fans of that.
>>724905614>tasteless gorelol what a faggot
>>724915701Don't even need remakes. Just do solid ports of them with options to push out LoDs, higher framerate/resolution, and minimizing the obvious texture streaming that was prominent of the UE3-era.
>>724906496>I don't know how you could go more soulless than the original's colour paletteYeah everything looking clean is soulful.
>>724915701>There was a prototype of Gears of War 3 that can be played on a Dev PS3 kitIt shouldn't be that hard to create a trilogy collection of old games and put them on modern hardware, console or PC, but then again, the type of people in the industry are completely incompetent. For Christ sake, autistic Nintendo fans were able to give Super Smash Bros. Melee fully functional online matchmaking and that game came out in, what? 2001?
>>724915552>>724915701The closest we get to a reason is >Gears of War ultimate sold poorly and people pirated it :(((The real reason is they want to force Microsoft sign in and xbox live integration with every "official" xbox release, and Halo was deemed the title that people would put up with this hurdle. I fucking hate Microsoft so much it's unreal.
>>724916010Heh, unreal engine.
>>724915820Worked for the ME trilogy rerelease.
>>724916767Those ones actually fucked with the graphics though, and also bloated 30gb in games to 100gb.
>>724914437>using the chainsaw gun on an altm*rIf that isn’t a skyrim mod then it should be.
>>724917263>Wall bounce active reload gnasher shotgunning Alduin to deathHeh
>All around me are familiar faces>Worn out places>Worn out faces
>>724915820You know this shit is bad when players are just giving up on the prospect of a remake and are just asking for the regular ass game now. I agree that at this point we just need the games on pc with basic updated features. I would not be surprised if it came out that the senior devs on the team that developed the original trilogy have a personal hatred for 2 and 3 and have this desire to just turn the gameplay for both of those games into gears 1 and will continue to push and shove the original game down peoples throats until players agree with them. It's been going around that they are a big problem in that studio and you can't tell them shit, certified faggotsSource: I made it up but it's actually real the vets on this team need to have a reality check no one wants their shitty gears 1 again for the 3rd time
>>724918440Ah, back when Microsoft were still putting in effort into selling their products. I can’t remember the last time an xbox game had a memorable commercial or advertising campaign? >this is an xboxJust put it put of its misery already.
>>724908685>Creates good characters that lead a decent story>It's for a DLC that nobody playedGears 5 should have been a spin-off with these guys
>>724918731A gears game that's a collection of short stories that star different squads fighting a multitude of big battles would be a pretty good gears game imo
>>724918640The last good one was the table top figures commercial for Halo
>>724918850Yeah that would be great, I think the best part of Nu-Gears was the opening of Gears 4 when you played different stages of the war and they even showed a bit of the Pendulum Wars
I love gears but 1 is so boring
>THEY’RE SINKING CITIES WITH
>>724919509A
>>724904989Halo Campaign Evolved will do well but the multiplayer-only game and the Halo 2 remake, despite this remake being DLC for Campaign Evolved, will flop, hard. Because of the alien gameplay of the Halo 2 remake, it's going to start a domino effect that will outright kill the series. Bungie should have told Microsoft to fuck off in the year 2000 instead of allowing themselves to be purchased. That one poor decision killed Bungie and Halo. Once Halo is gone, Xbox is pretty much dead along with Microsoft's gaming ventures as a whole.
Get off my planet groundwalkers
>>724919917GIANT
>>724920413WORM
>>724905131I doubt anyone still cares at this point, desu.
>>724904989I played the OG 360 game with the non-pozzed artstyle on my XSX for $5 and that was 4k/60. Why the fuck would I pay $40 for this slop
It still hurts
I had moved on from xbox by the time Gears 3 came out. What made its multiplayer superior to the previous two? Was horde better too? The currency and upgrades seem like they would overcomplicate a pick up and play mode like horde…
>>724904989They need to stop rereleasing 1 and just release a "Marcus Fenix Collection", we need 2 and 3 on PC and PS5.
>>724921784I don't know what it was, but I just felt the need to just not purchase Gears 3 until like 5 or 6 years later, I just wasn't interested in it, like at all. Was I getting bored and tired of Xbox?
>>724922479>Was I getting bored and tired of Xbox?You wouldn’t be the only one. This was around the time Microsoft stopped giving a shit too. Gears 3 was probably the last truly great xbox game, imo.
>>724904989I'm just mad that they switched the Unreal Engine instead of using the old in house engine.
>>724923027What? Isn't it still UE3?
>release gears of war collection on ps5>just high resolution ports of maybe even just the first trilogy>everyone would buy it >make a lot of money>release shitty remastermake instead >looks like shit >no one buys it>make no moneyand its going to happen with halo again!
>>724904989Test
>>724924046I can't believe how bad xbox are trashing the brand it almost feels intentional to exit the game market entirely
>>724924293Sorry, I didn’t see it.
>>724923201It's UE3, yeah
Did you like ANYTHING about 4 and 5? I’m drawing a blank and completely forgot them.
>>724904989shut up nigga. this flopped because nobody's trying to replay the first game's multiplayer. we want GoW 2 and GoW 3 for their better MP and Horde Mode's.
>>724925718No, I played both and I only remember being annoyed by the sailing vehicle in 5.
>>724925718I enjoyed Horde mode in 5, but it was too grindy to get your class stuff up to not feel like a chore.
>>724904989>not the OG versions>shitty remasters with piss poor visuals and edited cutscenesget fucked
>>724925718If you can't find anything to like in 4 and 5, you flat out hate video games. 5 in its current state is one of the best products on the market.
I just watched gameplay and it looks way too vibrant and colorful, what the fuck is their problem?
>>724925718I played the fuck out of gears 4 horde. Never really got into 5s because there just seemed to be too many weird little mechanics (especially at launch).>>724905227I thought they were working on that, but it will probably take another couple years. Which is crazy looking back, because there was only a 5 year window between the release of gears 1 and 3. How does a remake take fucking longer?
>>724904989This is such a terrible remaster. And on top of that, this version made the Ultimate Edition worse than it already was.
>>724908946>Oh, and by the way, that game is also going to be a shitshow. I don't need to tell you why, but it's going to be entertaining seeing peoples reactions once they finally play it.what do you know?
>>724925757It's very strange that Microsoft isn't capitalizing on Halo 3-Reach/Gears 2-3 multiplayer with this nostalgia push when those were the peaks of popularity. Do they think everyone was lining up outside of stores back then because they were thrilled to see where the story went?
>>724909476Judgment had one of my favourite multiplayer modes, the one similar to l4d versus or whatever. Why can't we get a proper human vs locust mode like that again?
>>724921615>she could've been the D Carmine to carry on the family line from Clayton>gets unceremoniously murked along with her unnamed cousin for some schizo latinx cuntTalk about wasted potential
>>724904989Say what you want about Halo. There are rooms to fuck up Halo's gameplay, which 343 proved. There's almost nothing to fuck up in Gears because of how basic that franchise is. It impresses me that Coalition somehow fucked up at continuing Gears of War in both story and gameplay.
Is E-day even still being made? I pray it won't turn into a Fable situation, not that I care about this series.
>>724904989>franchise had the perfect ending on 3>but of course microsoft wouldn't let it rest so we're getting a whole new trilogy with none of the characters nor charm of the originalJesus christ, leave the greed to the side for a moment, it was already bad enough with Halo.They have literally infinite money, why desecrate one of your most beloved franchises like this.
>>724928663>Is E-day even still being made?Supposedly. But seeing how Microsoft often just cancels projects without much warning, it wouldn’t surprise me if it never happens. The fact we haven’t seen any footage yet and it almost seems like they’ve given up on the xbox doesn’t bode well for it. Maybe it would be for the best, desu.
