In the latest episode of Inside Xbox, Rod Fergusson, Studio Head at The Coalition talked about the intention behind the game’s multiplayer this time, hoping to emulate a lot of what the team learned on working on Gears of War: Ultimate Edition to make the game more entertaining and watchable for the eSports audience.

“When we started back with the Ultimate Edition and we started going back old school, because you remember what Gears 1 was like when there was not really a way to view it, there was no spectator camera. It was really the old school of the old school.”

“We’ve been trying to improve that, and improve that, and improve that, and make it more playable, make it more watchable, you know those better camera controls,”

“I think as you’ll see where we’ll get to Gears 5, and then as we go to continue to improve that … That’s one of the things I love about the games that have a life beyond launch now, it’s not all about what’s in the box, but it’s about where you take it after that too. That’s gonna be true for eSports and Gears 5 as well.”

Are they going to have a sanitized version?

Then again they have MKX so scratch that.

 

[Outrunner]

Here we go, Battle Royale.

I wonder what they have in store. Watching a high tier player play a round of MP is almost dizzying the way they slide through the level and their camera movements. Sometimes I have no clue how they know what the hell is going on.

That’s me right there wall bouncing is my thing

 

[quickwhips]

I’m so ready to start playing gears again and give blackout a rest.

 

[Graciaus]

I like watching gnasher montages on YouTube of good players. But actual matches don't interest me.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Here we go, Battle Royale.

He’s talks about better camera controls to make it more watchable and somehow In your head you come up with battle royal.

Needs to be some sort of iq test when signing up

Then they better focus on the gameplay and not the MTX crap

MTX is just cosmetics so who cares?

Itd be interesting if they tweak wall bouncing. It is rediculous looking (and essentially an exploit). That would make it more watchable....but it's so ingrained in the game and the good/pro players.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Imagine not getting hyped when a player gnashers the fuck outta someone else.

 

[IncognitoPanda]

Here we go, Battle Royale.

Hears MP started out that way, so sure.

 

[angelic]

It's already very watchable, it's just on the console that lost the generation, and everyone is playing Fortnite/Apex. I've great memories of speccing the last man standing, rolling around Clocktower, with both teams in the same chat before party chat made online completely unsociable.

I liked free for all in gears judgment. I hope they add that game mode back into gears 5.

A more watchable eSports sound great. I'd also like to see a more improved library of games.

Library of games?

Wut?

That would be the death of the online and probably the series. Wall bouncing with a gnasher is gears.

What has this to do with The Coalition exactly?

 

[Fluzer]

Gears MP is amazing but also extremely focused on a specific type of player.
