I kinda dissapointed waiting for the singleplayer gameplay.
Whats the difference? Same mechanics nothings is going to change
Normally singleplayer gameplay are more showcase. Multiplayer had a frame rate focus rather than graphics. Happens with Uncharted 4 and I believe will happen here too.

Fuck campaign gameplay. People getting used to this shit and is alright with getting spoilers all along just for the fuck of it. We have a 14 minutes of the gameplay in general so we have an idea what is it like. But no, give me campaign gameplay so everything get spoiled or i'll start shitting on everything

Nah, you can show a bit of gameplay without spoiling a thing. The part in the trailer last year where the crew is on that vehicle, it was on water I believe? Show a little of that, it was in a big open area, so gives us a glimpse of that. Spoilers are absolutely not necessary.

Furthermore I'm not shitting on anything, Gears for me has always been about the SP and hell the franchise started with SP. Yep it had MP but the big focus during shows was the SP. It's very understandable that people thought it was a given they'd do a deep dive of SP. At the end of the day I just want a game that blows me away man. That trailer last year took me by surprise and me and my brother all went "oh shiiiiiit, TC is doing it".

Right now I'm a little worried something wenr wrong. Too ambitious? 4K/60fps has to come with sacrifices to the visuals, much larger worlds than before in 4K/60fps when Gears 4 on X was 4K/30fps? Sounded a bit too good to be true if I'm honest. Personally I really don't want them to sacrifice the visuals for 60fps. Last year looked/looks soooooo good.

Let's wait and see and if my worries turn out to be false alarm I'm gonna be one fucking happy dude.

Looks like people missed the whole gameplay segment so i'll post it under



At least search before shitting on something...


I assumed everyone saw that last night.

They should just let BluePoint remaster GoW1-3/J for the PS/Switch/PC and call it a day. (I'll gladly double dip)

Cliffy B needs to come back imo and take over the studio from Rod.
He knows what works as far as game mechanics for sure.

Not sure there is honesty going on over there in that studio, sometimes you have to be honest to colleagues and let them know what isn't working.

Looks like a map builder of sorts will be added.



This (image below) is just plain wrong for a GoW game.

No idea if he really knows things but Morgoth Bauglir posted worrying things. He said the campaign is around 25% of the game.

25% if I am generous dude.
Horde, Vesus is where the game is, campaign is fun to learn how to play. Now with escape the weight of campaign is even diminished.
But you are not a gears player, you search a sp game but it's just a small part of the experience.
Even if it was as big as an ubisoft game, it will remain just a small part.
Plus I hated the idea of open world gears because it looks something that gears don't needs just to please casuals

It's longer, but it's relevance is smaller than the mp, and this time the mp looks fucking huge.
I will be pleased if something went wrong with campaign

I'm so discouraged now about this game. MS should have just stayed home and called this gen what it really is. A fucking wash.

Oh no. Sounds like a multiplayer focused Gears!

I have no idea how much percent the campaign of 4 was but I was fine with the length. Apparently this is longer, which is fine too. I just want to see it now, how it stacks up to last year's trailer.

I loved the Gears of War series, I even like Judgment but man, I'm not even sure what to say about that. smh
It's one of their main franchises. It's the day after their presser. it launches in September. And the thread is already dropped down to page 3 as I write this. I'd say they shit the bed on this one.

That escape mode gameplay looks good, the graphics seem improved. I'll be there day one but man it seems so whack to show only a video so close to release but so little gameplay.
For titles releasing in 2020 I can understand no gameplay video but this game is out in Sept, they should be showing it being played. I'm confident it will still be good but if Microsoft gets flack for so few games showing gameplay the first example should have been Gears 5.

Answering a tweet from someone Rod said they showed campaign last year and this year they had the other stuff to show.

By other stuff he means showing a damn CG trailer of a new MP mode. I'm sorry but you barely showed campaign last year, I think that's what we call a glimpse.

That being said, the cinematic looks great. Facial expressions improved a lot and at the end it transitions into gameplay. I'm still baffled by that decision though.
 
I remember being so hyped for gears 3 that I jumped through some serious hoops, drove hundreds of miles to pick it up and just managed to log in as all my friends were starting a campaign.

Man, I was burned hard on Gears 2 MP but gears 3, at launch, was fucking terrible. About a year later it was pretty much perfect.

No way made will I buy this game day one.

Game pass it is :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I've heard the term bloom in games before, what is it exactly? A friend said people are moving to destiny 2 on pc because no bloom?

There is like no advertisement of this game whatsoever.... No hype... No campaign gameplay.... No commercials... Nothing...

Microsoft really dropped the ball here. Gears of War used to be a system seller. Not anymore.
