Let's be realistic ...Gears 4 looks terrible

@dynamitecop: Oh yeah forgot about SolidTY.

I'd want this for Horde, as it's always been the best part of Gears, but I dunno if I'd pay $60 just for that.

Grow up.

@mems_1224: God of War looks bad? Lmao wouldn't expect any less from our good ol jester Mems.

@Chutebox: Back at ya.

Damn. You got me there.

No worse than God of Bore. Man, what a crap series that needs to die!

Gears didnt look necessarily terrible. But just oppressively formulaic at this point. At least God of War surprised us by altering its design to a degree,

@Chutebox: What would you rather me attack you with insults? **** that, I'm just saying being fake isn't exactly mature.

I wasn't high on more gears to begin with... The stage demo really reminded me why... The gameplay looked REALLY safe and with a franchise with that type of fatigue that isn't a good thing...

And two, the dialog was so bad, like.... So bad. I haven't read what others have said about that specifically but when I watched the demo it stood out like a hooker in church.

Nope, but making up shit is pretty immature. You're good at that from past experiences and this one. So, refer to my previous comment. Thanks!

@stereointegrity: awesome game looked awesome

I thought it looked awful. So bad that I can definitively say I have no plans to get this now. Thankfully MS had other worthy showings at E3 I'm stoked for, like Dead Rising 4, Forza Horizon 3, State of Decay 2, Sea of Thieves, We Happy Few, and the plethora of awesome third party multiplats as always.

As for Gears, I thought GS summed it up well in post show analysis, the game just lacks gore. I mean, look at Doom, I mean everything is just meat. That's the kind of design that you even see them talk about in the Gears of War making-of videos, like saying they wanted the sound design to be centered around the themes of meat, metal and bone. And it feels like it when the well timed grenade makes chunks of locusts or when you saw one in half with the lancer. This doesn't feel like a gory shooter like it should. The vertical slice centered around lame events like that stupid catapult or knocking the smock stack tower or whatever down to make a bridge, or running through the electrical storm, really lame gameplay elements. The bits of shooting that were there just looked weak as hell. The Coalitions only hope from here on would be to simply do HD remakes of the original Gears of Wars games, judging from how they handled Ultimate though that's an iffy proposition too.

Time to move on from this series. I guess they hope it will be an easy cash grab.

Because a game being shown at an E3 press conference is always the best way to judge a game. :|

I care more about the game mechanics than I do about looks. The movement was ridiculously sluggish in the beta. It played very much like GOW2. But yeah, I was disappointed with how the beta looked. It looked like it was made for the 360 and was just ported to the XB1.

Yeah I agree, I loved the weather and atmospheric effects.

But the scripted lines were a bit... off.

I'm looking forward to Gears 4. But I still have to play Gears 3 and Judgment, so I'm not in a hurry :)

Looked fine to me.

Well, yes actually, if you don't have the showmanship to do a decent E3 presentation then how can the game prove any better? Besides, we did see gameplay and it was very underwhelming. Never in watching that did I see a game that I wanted to play at all.

The demo didn't do it too many favors, Gears just isn't the type of franchise that gains from these with its gameplay.

It certainly looks fun but other than the character swap it looks like any past Gears. Again, that's not bad as the series itself on a bad day is still fundamentally more fun to play than most series, but with other franchises of its era either ending and/or evolving with new iterations it certainly doesn't inspire huge amounts of confidence.

@Chutebox: Aren't you a feisty one? But no I'm not making stuff up. I go by what I see.

I'm sure it'll be enjoyable, but it's hard to take that game all that seriously outside of multiplayer. Where those mechanics at least shine, in single player they might come off old, stale, and slow. And in a year where we've had Doom, Uncharted 4, and stuff like what Tomb Raider and the Last of Us do with a cover shooter, much less Vanquish which makes all these cover shooters definitely slow as ****, it comes like why won't they mess with the sp harder than that?

I get the idea of not fucking with the mp, keep that shit pure. But Gears of War could benefit from some much needed additional mechanics to the single player.

Gears 4 looks like gears, and that's good. I want it.

In an almost entirely unfavorable way? Yeah, no thanks. I can't say I was a big God of War player, but isn't it supposed to be an action game and not a story-driven adventure? It might be a good change, but it's not for my tastes.

I wasn't a big fan of the GeoW 4 level they chose to demo, but it seemed okay, if a little straight forward. Kind of a been there, done that vibe.

Good luck to the brand new developers working on GeoW 4, I imagine living up to EPIC and Cliffy B would be quite the task.

I'll forever miss EPIC and Cliffy B's involvement in future GeoW titles, but I wish the new team the best on their very first real title.

Don't bother with him and his massive fanbot game.

The Xbox is a good brand with a lot of good games, but fanboys like him aren't doing the brand any favors. I have no idea why he posts about other users, as he is doing to Davillian and even myself. It's depressing that to make a point he needs to sling mud all the time. I wasn't in any threads talking sh** about him and I certainly don't bring up how the majority of the forum feels regarding his xbot behavior unless he brings me up.

I just post about the topic and wish he would settle down.

He goes off topic, uses ad hominems on users, complains when others go off topic which is very hypocritical, and can't seem to grasp why the world doesn't see things his way.

Example: I wasn't even in this GeoW 4 thread and he couldn't stop himself. Shame on him.

Just so you know, agreeing with NyaDC/dynamitecop on almost any topic is basically signing a 'massive fanboy' membership form.

This is an inaccurate assessment.

Lol SolidTy back at it again

@Blabadon: Yes, as are you Blaba, lol.

Gears back at it again.

And there goes any credibility you might have had.

No interest in gears 4, but I had no interest in gears after gears 1. I just don't like the clunky gameplay, being sucked into walls from 10 feet away, the horrible hit detection with the shotgun, and the being sucked in by a chainsaw from 5 feet away from the opponent. Outside of the graphics at the time, I just didn't care for the game. Played a few rounds after playing the campaign, put it up and never looked back. Just not my cup of tea. 4 doesn't seem to change that.

Just seeing this video, holy balls, what made them think it was a good idea to show this off? It's comically bad but it's something I wasn't looking forward to it anyway so whateves.

The gameplay showing that disappointed me was Scalebound, it seems to be suffering from the same forced dialogue and stale gameplay as Gears4 but I expected better, like a real JRPG experience from Scalebound and they dropped the ball somewhere.

I wonder if MS was pushing platinum to make Scalebound seem more "hip" to appeal to xbox fans...whatever they did it succeeded in killing my interest in it, but maybe xbox fans would like this better now.

Yes, it was the worst one of the trilogy, for sure, but a good game. It's just they turned the GeoW 3 MP into a COD like spam festival.

Based on the GeoW 4 beta, it looks like the brand new developers are looking to continue that push.

GeoW: Judgement (not developed by Cliffy) though, that was a huge letdown.

Lol yeah... I know I'm just going to be called a fanboy lem blah blah, but I honestly thought God of War looked meh.

Gears 4 looked like more Gears. That's a good thing to me. But obviously not everyone.

I don't play Gears for the SP/lore, so I can't really comment. I thought most played it for the MP/Horde?

I gotta call out gears 4 here.

World Of Warcraft: Burning Crusade had more interesting gameplay e3 footage than gears 4 here tonight.

It just didn't pop, those weather effects were already in WoW such as the thunderstorms and rain. The voice acting its all been done before it open world MMO's.

Gears 4 fell flat on stage the OP is right. This franchise needs to take a break. Make catch their breath at refocus to get its bearings ala ID software with Doom.

Yepp really bad graphics ... UC4 pales compared lol

Lol what? What does WoW or MMOs have to do with anything?

More bad graphics..

What makes you think people are talking about "graphics" when they say it look terrible? The game can be played on high end computers, there's not reason why I'd look bad graphically.

Maybe you should try watching the gameplay vid and see what people are talking about, I've only heard a few mention graphics, but graphically it looks fine...now animations lol

Mind your words fool!

@casharmy:

The argument has been made about every and I mean every game that is a sequel.... Its Gears.. expect Gears game play and dumb oneliners. Its Uncharted expect Uncharted game play. etc etc

Never got into gears because the motion blur would always make me nauseated. Happy to see it come to the PC though so I can take off this post fx.

Looks mediocre, but most importantly the gameplay looks mediocre too

Which in turn looked almost as bad as Dead Rising 4, man E3 was not good for you guys huh?

Never tried that, looks fun.

Graphics are fine but it looked more gears of Bore than Gears of war, i do hope the final games a tad more exiting than that.

Nobody requires that Gears of War do too much differently than the other four games.
