why would Xbox do this?
>>
Nobody cares about GoW anymore, why does it matter?
>>
Despite Xbots coping hard thinking the brand is being revived by Madam Pajeeta, it's over. Halo is already coming to PS5, their most flagship IP. Of course Gears is coming over too

Jeeta can't be stopped

I played enough gears of war from the first 3 games to last me a lifetime

Because they canceled the PS5 version this week, the podcast was probably recorded and edited before that.

halo and gears haven't been relevant since the 360. microsoft has proved countless times they never understood videogames and were carried by 3rd party talent the entire time.

true but the trailer cooked, this one might be good

Honestly after finishing the Reloaded version on the PS5 i don't get how this franchise got so big and i have no interest to find out what happens next.
Maybe it made more sense back in 2008?
>>
>>740629758
Because the camera and gameplay were groundbreaking at the time, many games copied that so it's not that special anymore
>>
>>740628850
>oh hey guys what if we did another prequel to an established IP? We don't have to create anything new... just rebarf out the slop.

Pajeeta listened to fans wanting exclusivity and will get slapped down by corporate when it sells 500k copies.
>>
>>740629225
They revoked that. They removed the PS5 logo. I'm expecting Horizon 7 in 4 years to not hit PS6, but the genie is out of the bottle. MicroSlop has an uphill battle in getting anyone to care about their games/console if they aren't multiplatform.
>>
>>740628850
gears seems like one of those games that people only care about because it's exclusive

On one hand, Gears is not a system seller, but on the other, no one would've bought it on PS5 anyway. Gears 1 Ultimate flopped on PS5.
>>
>>740630102
that too
nintendo is the only company who knows how to make system sellers and I'm not even a tendie
>>
halo or gears won't change unless microsoft guts those development teams and starts anew with a real permanent team that doesnl't rely on outsourcing and revolving door contractor work. these projects needs a core team that understands the tools they work with. but microsoft is too corporate so it will never happen, anything made by them will be lifeless safe garbage.
>>
>>740630239
>Gears 1 Ultimate flopped on PS5.
Didn't it flop in general because it didn't bring Gears 2-3 in tow? It was like "why would I buy that when there already is a PC port?"/"Why would I buy that when it doesn't include the rest of the trilogy?"
>>
>>740628850
They should've made ALL the first part xbox studios games console exclusives
>>
>>740630102
Which is funny considering that Uncharted was the substitute for Gears on PlayStation.
>>
>>740630334
It did, but the PS5 version apparently sold notably worse than the Xbox and PC versions.

>i don't get how this franchise got so big
Visually it was pretty high end at the time even if nowadays it's heavy on the blurry brown and bloom.
Gameplay was unique to itself. No one had active reloading at all since they pioneered it and it had a bunch of benefits to doing so unique to each weapon. The cover system also helped facilitate it, and at the time most games used a cover system for stealth games or for a passive type of gameplay whereas GoW wanted you to constantly be pushing forward.
Weapons were unique, the Lancer in particular is still iconic.
Enemy designs were unique and so were the scenarios with them.
Setpieces were unique and pretty bombastic. Uncharted was like the only thing outside of it doing that and I think it came out a year or two after the first game?
It was one of the major multiplayer games alongside Halo 3 on the 360 because of the bouncing and constant movement that seemed to pull people in though I just found it frustrating when playing multiplayer since you either employed that strategy or you got bodied.
Gears of War 2 is also hilarious, both with Bender's worms and Dom's goofy wife stuff even though they tried to be super serious with it.
The character designs were also iconic because they're basically roided football players and play like it.

One thing i noticed from the new one's footage is that Marcus wasn't near death one nanosecond after getting out of cover during firefights.

Gears of War was so massive and influential that you can take Mass Effect 1 and Uncharted 1 and compare them to their third installments and see the progressive Gearsification.
ME3 even took the dynamic "PRESS Y TO SEE COOL ACTION IN THE DISTANCE"

The reason many consider Gears influence trapped in the X360 is because studios stopped producing ACTION TPS whatsoever.
Uncharted 4 released in the first years of the PS4 and they haven't made another flagship uncharted ever since.
MEAndromeda released 10 years ago and it was a flop.
The Division and TLOU didn't go for the ACTION.

Whats funny is that if this Gears does well, the next Mass Effect (if it ever releases) and the next Uncharted will be again inspired by it.
>>
>>740628850
they probably already went through the trouble of making a port during the "everything is an xbox" era, and it's a bit late in the generation to rely on exclusives to sell consoles that they'll eventually just push out the PS5 version.
>>
>>740629697
>still falling for trailers
young or you never learn?
>>
>>740629225
only the remake will come to ps5 and that's only because it was previously announced before the jeetess took over. i think anything already announced to be cross platform will be, but the next installments will go back to being xbox/pc. some exec probably thinks this is going to get a lot of snoys to switch over by giving them just a taste of all the great (lol) stuff xbox has and then making them buy a new system for the next one

It keeps coming back every once in a while. Control for example and there was one other game they just showed over the past few days that's also like it. It mainly fell out of favor because chest high walls were a big complaint for years.

Doubt it they'll stop any time soon, Reloaded failed because 1) It's the worst Gears in terms of game play given a basic shit facelift 2) Nobody cares about Gears today unless it's given on game pass
Watch the Halo remake sell like hotcakes.

Either ending choice is such a landmine that i wouldn't be surprised if E-Day turned into a reboot to wipe the state clean.
>>
>>740628850
Probably a committee decision. They were sitting there in a room with a bunch of market analysts and AI's on monitors. Everything telling them that if they didn't hold some things back to be Xbox exclusive then the brand would have no identity. Why buy an Xbox if its coming out on Playstation as well. So they pulled all their already taped segments and marketing fluff for anything PS5. And if sales look weak they can always just release a PS version later anyway considering it was already the plan
>>
>>740632539
I got it included with gamepass and I still feel ripped off
>>
>>740628850
But Aaron Greenberg said it wasn't a last minute decision. I don't know how he still has a job. Xbox marketing has been fucking terrible this gen.
>>
>>740632719
6 will never happen. The entire fanbase chose to save JD because he is Marcus' son and a white man. The devs refuse to write a story where their pet nigger is dead though so the tranny devs have been on strike from making it ever since because MS told them to be faithful to the fans.
>>
>>740628850
It is said that the decision to make it an Xbox exclusive was made the day before the presentation, just as it was decided to remove the trailer of Halo from the State of Play. So they probably forgot to remove the PS5 logo from the podcast.

E-Day should've been the first Gears on the PS5, releasing the low effort port of the first game probably poisoned the water forever.

This is literally what happened.
JD was the best thing since the first Gears 5 trailer, everyone thought they improved his character a lot and he would be the protagonist again, but they boxed him to not overshadow Kait.
That turned out for the worse because people wanted to see him even more after he turned into a tragic character kek.
>>
>>740631210
Gears was the dudbro shooter and pretty much popularized cover mechanics for all 360/ps3 era however the IP is forgotten now, people hyped for E day are +40 years old lets face it

You played what is arguably the shittiest entry in the entire series (a lazy re-release of a decade old shitty remaster of a two decade old game), of course you don't get it.
