gears of war needs all the help it can get . make a master fenix collection for all platforms and release a new one only on xbox. multiplayer/co-op/single player all in one is something i miss so much . it’s either full blown live service trash or full blown interactive movie open world bloat now. gears of war should be thriving in todays climate with things like streaming being big but it’s not
@LtSarge hell yea. the xbox360 really was a fun console & i loved that about it. it was like a mix of nintendos fun appeal and sonys technical appeal into one that made xbox so special. its just sad how xbox is today, the xbox one really tarnished all the goodwill
the fact that we all still talk about it 2 generations later.
the xbox360 was an essential part of my adolescent years and was more than a console gen, it was an EXPERIENCE!
hands down MY personal favorite/best console of all time, and objectively the second best console after the PS2. but i have to give it to the wii and ps3 too, 7th generation as a whole was a bold generation that still had that touch of 6th originality and new IPs and ideas.
got this on PC when the "early access" first dropped & its no Outlast 3. I only got it because im desperate for a new outlast game, no one asked for them to try and cash-in on live service BS.
to be fair though, maybe i should try it in co-op instead of alone
i tend not to like remasters because they change things and the games aesthetics dont look as good imo. I remember crash N sane trilogy bothering me because of how bright they made everything and the gears of war definitive edition looking too colorful and cartoony with the moody bleak aesthetic being gone.
@TJ81 with all the social media platforms and how easy it is to communicate , it’s crazy to me why devs/teams never just talk to their fans . it seems like it’s always done through a podcast with scripted interviews . they could even just make polls of “what do you want to see in the next game” and “what don’t you want to see”
maybe sequels would be better than predecessors ALL the time then
@NeoRatt disagree about framerates - 60fps is definitely noticeable , like , very noticeable. just switching from 30fps to 60fps with my iphone camera is night & day. the human eye can see more than 30, trust me - if you woke up one day seeing at 30fps you’d be phoning your doctor quick fast . good luck even driving to their office at 30fps 😂😂
@HonestHick couldnt agree more, thats a damn solid 5 games. ive been eye'ing helldivers 2, even though i dont know jack about it lol. its something new and interesting though, especially being a sony IP and all since theyre track record for a while has been cinematic third person games. theres also tekken 8, have you ever tried fighting games?
@NeoRatt ironically 7th generation was still the biggest leap in gaming of all time in every aspect. even more than the n64.
the OG PS3 was well worth its price - bluray player with bluray games, AV and HDMI support, packed in wireless rechargeable controller with gyro, built in wifi connectivity, spacious harddrive, memory card slots with native BC allowing it to play 3 generations of games in one, the first all-in-one media machine, 4 usb ports - all of this in 2006 is pretty freakin next gen
@HonestHick yea, and an option to toggle between original look and remastered look would be chefs kiss. i personally prefer the look of gears 1 & 2 by a long shot . i miss the old look of gears so much
honestly what i got from this is that if someone wants to genuinely play the classic in its full original glory with just updated visuals - this game is it . so i think it’s a 10/10 for that alone & i believe that some people actually like “remasters” to be as 100% authentic as possible to the original (with just better frame rate and graphics) , and nothing else . if people want otherwise , i thought that’s what “remakes” were for like tomb raider anniversary ??
price has to drop tremendously for me to try to it , but im interested. i hate the games aesthetics though, and pretty much hate this new trend of every game having to be crayon colors bright. i thought this game would look more detailed and like the arkham games, but it looks like playdoh
been on a heavy nostalgia trip with my 360(and ps3) and i hope to finish gears of war 3 over the weekend , i finished one and two earlier this month, the trilogy is so damn fun!! once i finish gears of war 3, im starting max payne 3. also playing midnight CLUB LA on the side and hope to beat that within the coming months.
@RBRTMNZ i agree bro, nintendo is like god. they can crap gold and make quality easily. theres no need for sony or xbox, when we all have our handheld 1990 games .
can they just make it free , lol. they fooled me on PC , i thought the game was free but it was just one character playable & they fooled me several times in the past on Xbox one when i thought it was free 😂 the game looks cool but i don’t think it’s worth paying for because of other fighting games and the time investment
halo reach had the best art and future direction that halo should’ve stayed on . 4 was fine but the artstyle and enemy types strayed too far from halo thematically imo. i never read the novels or any other mediums of the franchise so maybe the promethean type looking enemies have always been around, or maybe not. regardless since they’re looking to start anew they should take pointers from reach.
make halo more grounded and grit, i dont think a full on futuristic shooter is favorable in todays climate, it’s been done enough and it’s stale + people rather see their characters rather than have them in robot looking armor. So think of it like black ops 2 but halo in a way - i think that’s how halo should reboot .
oh, and also, keep sprint as basic movement . halo will never work as a no-sprint game again.
@UndyingInsurgent95 i can definitely agree with that about nintendo - the day they free everyone from their crap hardware by putting their games on PC , they’re DONE
@Kaloudz unleashed isn’t playable on ps5 and PC so, no, 06/heroes/shadow arent the only ones that can’t be played on current gen, which is why it upsets me so much that they can’t be arsed to port the game .
