Xbox 360 Era Gears Of War Director Teases Return To Franchise

Well considering I didn't find anything wrong with Gears 4 and 5... this isn't a big deal to me. I have never heard of this guy and his involvement wont sway my decision to play the next installment at all.

Of coarse this would be teased, I just replayed the newer version of GoW1 and it's ok. GoW2 starts out really great but plays out average to above average the remaining ⅔. Playing GoW3 now and I wish the mechanics were in the previous two.This series is still better than most action games being released today.
FTR, I finished and enjoyed Gears5, 4 and judgment at the time when they released too

I wonder if the Gears 6 is still early enough in development that he is meant to have a critical role in its direction, or he is just Gears's version of Joe Staten and Halo Infinite.

Probably my favourite Xbox franchise overall
Both consistent and excellent in most areas.
A true Xbox AAA game.

Ortega ruined the tone and story of the franchise.

@Benjamin Definition of a hot take.

Always appreciate any news on the game franchise that made me buy Xbox in the first place all those years ago

I really loved 1, 2, 3 and 4 but not Judgement and 5.

So the remastered collection is real then?

I have played each and every iteration of the Gears franchise multiple times (and that includes Tactics). Obtained every collectible and beat every game on the hardest difficulties currently available (so that includes on Inconceivable). I do not play any of the multiplayer modes except for Horde, and am currently 94th in the World for 50 waves completed as an Mechanic in Gears 5. I have a Gears of War 3 360 console, and a Gears of War 4 Xbox One console. Plus, I have numerous Collector's Editions of the various games, together with a full-sized Chainsaw Lancer from the Gears of War 3 days, and all the books. Some might even go so far as to say I like Gears of War...

Gears 5 was revealed a full 12 months prior to it's release, so I'm really hoping that Gears 6 will be at least revealed this year, in the hope it will come out next year. After all, I really need to know whether JD (or was it Del?) is totally dead, or whether some means of bringing them back will be found. In the meantime, I'll take a shadow-drop of the Remastered Collection in the Summer of this year during the Xbox Showcase...

IMO

#1 GoW
#2 GoW 3
#3 GoW 2
#4 GoW 4

GoW 5 I think I got halfway through but never finished, and Judgment I never played

Loved GoW2 and 3 - great games. I preferred '2' - still my 'favourite' game of the Series. I have a 360 'Gears 3' controller, the XB1S Gears 4 Ltd Edition console as well as Elite V1 Gears 4 controller too so you could say I like the IP.

I am of course looking forward to seeing what comes 'next' and would happily wait until its 'nearly' ready to release to hear and see anything about it so I am not waiting years with people 'speculating' about it and its development 'issues'. The 'shorter' the time before official reveal and release, the better as far as I am concerned. I don't 'need' to know its 'officially' being made when its clearly an important IP for MS and the Coalition, therefore likely to return.

I'd like a Gears Trilogy remastered in one pack. It would make sense to bring the 'complete' saga to PC and also have all the Online modes with 'cross-platform' play.

The problem with Gears is that at the time Epic didn’t know what to do with the franchise (their words eh), so without spoiling too much when Microsoft bought it tried to explore new characters and scenarios that in my opinion weren’t as good as those of the original trilogy.

Personally I’d make a reboot of the series forgetting everything that happened after the first half of Gears 3… streamlined, linear levels without the open worldish nonsense of gears 5.

The first Gears is one of my all time favorites, I still do a run at the hardest difficulty from time to time.

@xxk7xx

This, and I got into the Gears series during the Xbox Series S days. The difference between GoW 1 and 4 is massive.

@Ashadelo Gears 1 still holds up, especially the Ultimate. Cool from start to finish.

@BrilliantBill I've been saying it since 2008!

Cool!

I'm currently playing the first game (remake version) via game pass and really enjoying it.

@Dezzy70 well then this guy needs to tell some at MS to bring out that Gears 1-3 ultimate collection. Stop me if you’ve heard me say this before or 100 times HAHA

@xxk7xx Gears 1 ultimate is one of my favorite games ever for Xbox, i want Gears 2 and 3 ultimate using unreal 5, slap all 3 into a collection and sell it for $60-$70 and bring to GP. Xbox fan’s would play the heck out of it. That and Diablo 4 would pretty much get me through the whole year on Xbox as a happy man.

@Green-Bandit
We both love an amazing gears games for sure.
I have been giving Xbox a bit of bashing on another thread on here.
But it’s for their own good as they deserve it 😂😂😂

Bring back dom as one of the swarm elite

@Green-Bandit they definitely deserve a proper remaster, possibly with all the multiplayer maps and modes.

@xxk7xx that would be amazing, i would love to play part 3 online again. I am hoping they do it, there’s been a few rumors saying it’s happening. Some say a Marcus Fenix collection, some say a Gears collection. Not sure but would be a huge June event surprise.

@Benjamin Still it is kinda the first time I heard it and I have spent a fair bit of time on Gears of War subreddit and comment sections of YouTube about the games. So how do you mean? Gears 2 and 3 still deviated a fair bit from Gears 1. But is that the problem?

@Green-Bandit Honestly 2 and 3 hold up so well today that I don't think they need anything more than a slight work. Some of the X360 era games are just amazing in that regard.

@BrilliantBill i totally agree with ya. I mean if they wanted to do them justice in Unreal engine 5 and throw some horsepower at them, they would really shine and be something insane to see and play. 4K 60 for single player and then scale back for 120FPS in multiplayer on the X. Not sure if they intend to put that type of love into them or not. But thats kinda a dream collection for me. Maybe even more than my dream of having a remake of Red Dead 1 and next gen Red dead 2 on series X. Spoiler, if i could only have a few games on Series X and never be allowed anything else, Gears of War, Red Dead Redemption and Diablo are 3 of my 5 picks, so when i talk about these i am coming from the heart of how much i really want them 😀

I love xbox 360 gears but xbox one gears is only kind of okay. I think it's better if gears goes back to it's root to become horror shooter like the first 3 games.

@BrilliantBill I really liked the first game's focus on one small scale mission, the backdrop being this larger than life world with a mystery at its core. Gears 2 dropped that for a bigger scale, but my main beef with Ortega is the handling of the Locust origin story and the melodramatic character work. The first game, for all the chainsaws and curb stomps, is understated in some ways whereas the sequels were much more bombastic.

TL:DR
I prefer Gears when its Saving Private Ryan rather than Aliens.
