Xbox One Gears of War game to "reignite" the franchise, says Microsoft

And I forgot to add, cog knew about the locust before the war right? Maby in the new gears make it so your the secret service trying to infiltrate the locust to stop them before they attack.

Call them Reaper squad... their misson: stop locust siege but it dosent go to plan then boooom you got to the point at the start of gears1 and by calling them reaper squad your linking it to gowJ like "ooohhh so thats where reapers come from...." and maby in the story show why tge leader of the locust is a human girl? And show where all the femail locust are? I mean theres tones of em where thay come from? Mars? Of tge misson is to kill raam but he killed the reapers accept from one (dom) and raam gets away then at the end hoffman tells dom to get marcus...?

Orrr tell tge story from the locust point if view because the gow story tells they where driven out it wasbt voluntary.

I mean the end of gow3 has stopped tge story from progressing forward.

But dont involve space or anything like oh they escaped on a soace reaver to rebuild and pop back in the future I mean that would suck...

What I have noticed what make gears 3 is the maps, weapons and movement...

Maps:

themaps determined how you would play... for instance... you got

blood drive: where you aim to capture the other teams Grenades and control the power weapon (longshot ,torque bow ).

My opinion it a good map.

And you have. ..

Drydock: aim to control (mortar, oneshot) or (longshot, torque bow) grenades come in handy. But if your on the team without control its almost impossible to regain control and your stuck in spawn where u die...

My opinion its not that good.

My point is.. layout of the map is crucial to good game play. You want a goal such as "gain control of a area" but once controlled theres gotta be a way to loose it.

Like academy.: you got the (sniper, torque bow) but easily captured with boom or digger abd naides.

But also the little things make a big difference like: walls and structures.. walls help to hide, sneak, cover and bounce your way out of trouble. Putting these in the right place is important. ..structures block sight that makes it hard to see whats comeing. and you have them little walk around the piller fight with gnashers its quite funny but gets you going.

Weapons:

Ok big part of the gameplay..

Weapon placement is important because

Power weapons need to be in hard to get places e.g "the longshot in blood drive"

Out in the open, easy defendable or smackbang in the middle of tge map make it hard to get.

Weaponds you spawn with:

The gears 3layout is good because you can have a shotgun, rifle, pistol and smoke naides.. this gives you all the weapons u need in any situation. ..

The weapons (gow3) lets forget about judgement.

1, Gnasher: pretty much perfect in gow3 beta

2, longshot: needs quicker reload and oneshot like gow3 this makes it hard to use but a feel good when u get that kill, also loose the aim when your not aiming it takes the blind fire out of the game.

3, touque bow: pretty much perfect in gears 3

4,hammerburst: great in gow3 just people with rapid fire ruin it but what can u do.(gow3)

5, pistol: nice! degrading when killed by it but it make u want rush right back in there. Again ruin by rapid fire.(gow3)

6, flame grenade: lovely in gow3

7:frags: again nice! (Gow3)

8, boltok pistol: gow3 great dont change it.(gow3)

9,lancer: now. The chain saw should be shootable llike flinch when shot and slower rev time. Also the stopping power is to powerful. (Gow3)

10, retro: just make it the same as the lancer just with a bayonet, the power and damage can remain the same. Why its overpowerd I dont know. fix it. (Gow3)

11, sawed off: forget it.... it ruins the game for all.(gow3)

12, gorgon pistol: perfect in gow3.

13, flamethrower: its to powerfull. Maby reduce the stopping power and distance it be fine.(gow3)

14, ,boomshot: ahh I hate it but its needed.. perfect in (gow3)

15, digger: perfect (gow3)

16, Shield: nice but dont do a judgement keep it like gow3

17, ink: no matter hiw annoying it needs to stun you.. keep it like gow3 but with stun

18, ,smoke: keep like gow3

19, one shot: keep like gow3

20, mortar: keep like gow3

21, multure: keep like gow3

22, silverback: loose it it pointless it always use on last man standing.

23, mabe a new weapon: something that shoots ink or poison? Like a shot range 5shot sticky splodge shooter? That does damage overtime like death in a minute or something.

Ok movement:

Keep gow3 movement just less lag

And wallbounce same as gow3

Over all:

Polish uo gow3 different maps tweek here and there done....

Locust vs cog multi player

Take spongyness out

Un power overpowerd weapons

Just dont kill it keep gears GEARS!

I posted this on another forum. .

I would like it to be better than judgement . When gow3 beta was released me and my friends where amazed. We love the gameplay much better than 2. And when the game was released we couldn't stop playing. Nice story and great gameplay.! When judgement was announced me and my friends could not wait to play it. And when the beta was released we thought.. it dont feel like gears.. but the actual game would be better. And it wasnt.... the story was ok It gave a better understanding of the first 3 . but the online which we would play the most was terrible It wasnt gears. At all... so in the next game maybe make a polished up version of gow3 like online wise.. make it a team game dont try an make a different version of cod like u tried with judgement. Make it so u cant just run in spray and prey. Make it so u need planning. a team effort. And bring back the gnasher its useless in judgement! Bounce battles with gnashers is what makes gears GEARS. We don't want another cod its boring thats why I dont play it . We dont want to be overpowerd by rifles and a oneshot sawed off. Its takes the skill out. From my point of view judgement is to easy. U dumbed down the game for new player's but thers no skill it it. Just make a upgrade to gears3 and not another downgrade. .....

Hope you guys agree....

I'm a huge fan of Gears too (and I have the logo on my shoulder... \m/ ).

Anyway I think if microsoft want to "reignite" the franchise they need to eliminate judgement and treat it as a
learning curve in terms of what not to do...

The reason judgement failed was because it was like a diet steak...!

Everything that makes GoW, needs to be realised, not scrapped,

The dark, brutal, heavy, hard hitting, take no shit feel needs to come back.
(I cannot stress that enough).

I don't want to feel like it's okay to die because I'll respawn,.. I want to feel like dying is the end of the world!

I would hate to see you ruin a potentially, groundbreakingly epic, opportunity to restore Gears...

No more Call of Duty...!

"Xbox don't let us down".

im a huge gears of war fan i have the symbol on my chest, its all i used to play (til i got robbed) but truly i dont want to see a huge difference and i dont think fans do either, because each game we have all complained about 1 the damage ratio of weapons, 2 why does the gnasher shoot accurate with hip fire on gears 1 but not on gears 2 (when it was first released it was almost impossible to hip fire) 3 why are there so many updates changing the way weapons are used. 4 WHY WAS THE MULTIPLAYER BETA FOR GEARS 3 BETTER THAN THE FULL GAMES'. 5 Why in the hell would you add an even powerful shotgun(the sawed off) when you already have an overwhelming weapon like the gnasher which to me ruined the multiplayer for gears 3 and judgement and judgement wasnt a bad game it was just the layout of the game was like call of duty and i hate that game, whos bright idea was that anyway????? and most of all WHY DOES THE CONNECTION LAG SO BAD WHEN IT DOES. Why doesnt it stay on dedicated servers (pray they fix this for the xbox one there are no excuses this time microsoft)

My reason for this is because at the time epic were listening to the wrong players and hired the wrong developers and were changing gears too much and were not staying true to the franchise. When I first played gears 1 I just absolutely fell in love with the game I bought the game and didnt even have a xbox 360 because there was no game like it, it had fire fights, taking cover with blind firing, heads exploding, bodies being ripped and blown to pieces it was THE ultimate war game.

I feel this game is more realistic than call of duty besides the story it set itself apart even more mutliplayer wise because it had THE biggest competitors and a in game creation of gameplay (wall bouncing, superman, etc) with the greatest Weapon ever created the GNASHER. This is why Gears of War will forever be my favorite game OF ALL TIME.

Well on behalf of the community that understands the complexities of being a loyal fan, I wish to share my input. While sales and feedback from Judgement appeared...off, lets take a look beyond the collection of negativity. Was the game pleasing to true fans? No. However, why can we not accept the learning experience. Perhaps what most people fear is change. To much change? Maybe not the best, but Judgement was not a complete failure.

Three main accomplishments included widening the target market, introducing many new features that were universally accepted, and lastly working as stepping stone for the next release. For those who disagree, I'm sorry but your glass house will eventually crack!

Gears One... is this a question? Two, okay the controversey starts here. There's still a ton fans playing this game, yet refuse to make the "faster," transition to Three. You have to adapt I'm sorry, but it's frustrating. There's a more significant quantity of people whom have adapted then not. The game is great to pop in here in there, but what is there truly to compare with the technological advancements made in Three?

Three may be unquestionably the best. The numbers don't lie, and were not talking sales comparing apples and oranges. I'm talking people who are online TODAY! All this takes to figure out is playing for as long as I've been playing. Talking to millions of people. This is not an independent opinion. I speak for thousands. I could list gamer tags and have it signed. None the less, there are major frustrations with this game. Much less than the others but worth bringing to attention.

Connection and Characters, need I say more? Weapons? Not so much, just a common desire that you could "Pop Shot" or "Quick Scope," quicker with the long shot. The ink transition was wonderful, but due to connection sometimes, there's some inevitable issues.The gnasher "was," perfect. The "downs," were perfect. When out of 10,000 players you have a mean of 90% gnasher use with a standard deviation of .03%, I think it's conclusive that the gnasher has a lot to do with why this game is preferably different.

If you could take the best qualities of Judgement, incorporate them into a Three feeling, where could you possibly go wrong? Now, Three was released for the Xbox One, there's no doubt in my mind that sales would be compareable to Judgement. With the touch of what made Judgment fun to play, there could be a really good game here. Take even the small things into consideration. Games modes, weapon spawns, maps. Maps alone go a very long ways.

I'm going to end on that note. I hope another serious fan picks up or elaborates more. I'd just hate to see anyone be mislead in the making. The fans are why this series still exists. True fans, take two minutes like I did to create an account and post your thoughts. It may be worth it, it may be not. Either way, I still vote on election day.

I'm a bit surprised. I thought he would have said it's going to be the same old, same old.

To me Gears of war will always be a trilogy, none of the creative forces behind the first 3 games are attached to series now, why not start a new IP.

nobody was looking for a 4. installment and now they want to reboot the franchise...

Loved the first one, can't remember if this was the first type of take cover and shoot game, hope the one coming out for xbox one is good , I have a ps4 so unfortantly i won't be able to play it but we need the console exclusives to be really good, need to push game makers so we benifit

Words cannot express the atrocity that is Gears of War Judgement.

Gears of War 1 is one of my favorite shooters of all time, 2&3 were also pretty damn good. But then Judgement came out, it sucked and I have a feeling that MS is going to use the series as a cash cow.

just make xbox one compatable so we can play Gears 3.......thanks

Gears with a few Stealth parts, Jumppack/walljumping parts, a few Openworld parts, and a enough development time and cash, could become something cool.....

a good sign, they cancelled the Kinec spin off...

better if they made new IP based on GoW's battle system I mean I played Judgement a bit and in an instance I know the series should have stayed with 3's ending

"More gritty". Well, initially I like the sound of that, but fear is that they will throw in a ton of gore, only to ignore the most important parts: fast paced tactical gameplay, creative weaponry and stunning graphics. I have my doubts it'll be anything more than a moneymaker built upon previous success.

The only credible way of doing this would be to release it on the pc too...sure the fanboys would get something to cry over...but a really good game would become excellent...i mean i have no idea how a co op centric game such as this which is meant for system link play doesn't get releases on pc only so that ms can have an exclusive. Imagine something like borderlands being an xbox exclusive, that would be counter productive...i mean i dont know how many people play gow with two xbox and two tvs...most of em mostly play split screen....which kind of take away from the experience...

So chill out ms and release this game on PC...also make it 4 player(or is it already..??)

the only way to do that would be to make it an rpg...why cant they just take every game and make it a rpg...

Could never get into GoW, maybe this will be different.

looks like Microsoft is already getting desperate.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Stick to your PC is better comments.. actually just swallow your thoughts.

As a gamer, I hope they do a good job with the next GoW. MSFT will probably ruin it....like everything as of recently.

Oh and Phill Spencer are you going to have M$ mess it up like they messed up halo and the halo C.E anniversary...

Oh gears of war how much Microsoft is trying to use you to keep people happy with their less powered xbox one and force fed kinect. I don't care for gears of war it's just a gimmick to try to satisfy gamers that they are loosing because of their over sized ego of all in one media center hub aka xbox one

As long as it doesn't turn out like Judgement I'll be fine.

An awesome Pendulum Wars trilogy would be worth checking out.

I hope they "reignite" it on PC.

Off topic a bit, but for those of you who enjoy the Gears universe check out the books by Karen Traviss. They are great and it helped me enjoy the games immensely due to the character development that took place between the games.

It will be interesting to see how they intend to pick up the story seeing as how 3 ended (avoiding spoilers even though it has been years). Though the Pendulum Wars might be fun, when you already know how it turns out it is a little anti-climatic IMO. Epic did a great job creating Sera and I enjoyed the ride while it existed. I always hated the keyboard muscle/screaming/homophobic/racist/sore winner multiplayer as I have never claimed to be anything other than average at the end of my work day and responsibilities, but Horde and Beast were always fun with reasonable people and friends.

Anyways, check out the books. They really are well done.
