Xbox The Official Gears of War Thread

Gears 5 announced!!

As well as Gears Pop and Gears Tactics.
 
Excited for Gears 5. Seems like Kait is more of the main character, which I don't necessarily mind. But Gears has always been the Fenix family story imo. Wish they just made JD Marcus's daughter. But Im not mad at it. I wonder what happened to JD's arm

Hope it brings something new to the table

EDIT: They might flip back and forth between Kait/Del & JD/whoever

I wouldn't mind if they flipped between them.

GEARS 5 Will Bring "A Bunch Of Innovations" To The Series With Constant Contrast And Dramatic Change
The Coalition's second major Gears of War game might feature a simplified title, but the studio won't simplify the gameplay and narration that will focus on dramatic contrast and Kait, the new main character...Read more

As predicted, Microsoft announced two new major Gears of War games at E3 2018, and both of them are coming out in the next few years. Gears Tactics is a Windows 10 exclusive strategy game similar to the XCOM series, and the other one, Gears 5 is a PC and Xbox One title that will continue the story of Marcus Michael Fenix, Kait Diaz, and surviving in the ruined world in the post-Locust War era.

Last week, The Coalition Studio Manager Rod Fergusson appeared in a live streamed interview during the X018 fan fest in Mexico City and revealed some juicy details on the highly anticipated Gears of War 4 sequel. "Gears 5 is about bringing The Coalition’s personality to the game," Fergusson explained. "You’re going to see a bunch of innovations, a bunch of changes, a bunch of things that are really exciting and different but still feel like Gears of War."

"We focus on contrast, ‘dramatic contrast’ is the wording we use. We wanted to have part of Gears 5as dramatic contrast, like going from very small, cramped spaces to very large open spaces or like going from the desert to frozen tundra. We wanted to have, through the experience, constant contrast and dramatic change. For the first time in Gears 5, we’re doing performance capture. All the previous games had separate voice from motion capture with different actors doing it," the studio manager continued.

Unlike the previous games in the acclaimed series, we will play as Kait, who was introduced in Gears of War 4. According to Fergusson, "it was a really natural decision. When we went back and we looked at what the story of Gears of War 4 was, like with Mad Max Fury Road, that movie is really about Furiosa’s story and Mad Max is helping her complete her story and Gears of War 4’s story is really Kait trying to save her mom and JD Fenix is helping her. When we looked at the story for Gears 5, we were sort of delving into Kait’s past and her history, her family ties to the locusts, we felt like that’s a better story to not just witness but tell from her perspective."

Gears 5 sees Kait taking front-and-center as the series' first female protagonist, as the game will support online co-op and local split-screen for two players. Xbox One X and Windows 10 users will have a chance to experience 4K resolution with stunning HDR at a smooth 60 frames per second. According to the most recent reports, Gears 5 might be launched in October 2019, three years after Gears 4.




In Gears 5 as Kait, journey across the biggest, most beautiful Gears world ever created. Play solo or with a friend in local split-screen co-op, or online co-op and experience every mode in 4K Ultra HD resolution with stunning HDR at a smooth 60 frames per second.

Gears 5 is coming in 2019.

Oh cool. I thought they had been reallocated to just Gears games for life.
 
I think the time for a Gears movie has past the game is the juggernaut that it once was I mean I still play but i'm one of those hardcore degenerates that hate everything that is new so what do I know lol

Haha. It isn’t as big as it was, no. Maybe it will see a boost with Gears 5 which hopefully takes it into a new direction. There just hadn’t been enough new content this gen. Just one game and no story DLC in the same time that we’d had a trilogy plus story DLCs last time.

I replayed Gears 4 recently and am reminded that I'm not into Kait all that much. Not a fan of her character but am interested in her story arc though.

The story is focused on her but it better still feature JD and Marcus/old crew

She might even end up switching sides lol, in which case we will need well known hero characters. I’m really looking forward to the story for Gears 5. Really liked what we saw in the trailer.
 
So Gears 5 not far away at all now. Due out in Sep, so I better finish all the previous games.
 
How dare you not being caught up by now! Lol. I'm intrigued by the new characters shown in the escape trailer

I think a Gears movie is a great idea. I just don't know how successful it will be quality wise or box office wise. It has to be expensive. Like $150 mill at least. And that's a lot for a hard R non comedy movie

I mean the games screams toxic masculinity and that type of things is frowned upon now so look at the crap they getting for putting Kait front and center for 5

I just got the gilded raam for part 5 so i'm amped for September
