Who is ‘we’ and why are you so angry about a game we don’t know anything about?

We don’t know but let’s be honest there’s no indication it won’t be another Gears game. If that indication exists, please share or wait for it to show. Until then, I’m gonna assume it’s gonna be another TPS Gears ass Gears that is good and all but does nothing to innovate or move any needle or elevate the Coalition to higher recognition and respect industrywide.
It’s the 5 people here who are somehow are representative of the entire fanbase.

I’ve played the campaign 4 times. I almost never do that.
The most recent God of War is absolutely amazing but i hate that it’s somehow created this narrative that Gears needs to completely change itself into a sad dad simulator. Gears core gameplay and multiplayer still hasn’t been matched by any third person shooter. I’d argue Gears horde mode still hasn’t been beaten by any other game series.
wait who is saying this? lol
Most complaints that I see about Gears is its creative stagnation, not that it should become this deep narrative character drama or whatever.

Nobody here has argumented for this pivot or kind of reboot direction.
This is a myth that no longer holds any weight and if it even was true the numbers dont reflect it anymore. Fortnite as a third person shooter has gone over it, Rogue Company 3rd person shooting is excellent, The Division 2 is pretty much “Gears combat”, TLOU2 gameplay is easily as good as any Gears but notably less arcade-ish.
I agree that Horde should be priority for Gears or in general that whole PVE element.
After God Of War came out there was so many threads on other era and reddit saying that Gears should have a shake up just like God of War.
Having a shake up like that doesnt mean Sad Dad sim which is getting old as a complaint cause Sony literally maybe has 2 games like that in the first TLOU and MAYBE GoW.
Anyway lets not RUIN this Gears thread.

Fortnite is a good 3rd person shooter but doesn’t touch Gears. The division 2 is way too slow and heavy and the weapons don’t pack the same punch. I think segas Vanquish is an example of a game that took inspiration from Gears and created an amazing 3rd person shooter that could rival Gears mechanics wise. It’d be so awesome to slide around with a gnasher in gears.
I wasn’t around back then on any forums (thinkin about it, I’m still not on OtherEra) but even still, “shake up just like God of War” sounds to me like “franchise that had stagnated revitalized in the modern day and set a new exciting direction for its future” moreso than “just have it involve sad dad”. You could easily replace that with Breath of the Wild and it’d convey the same thing.
Nobody is saying that, they are saying it needs to innovate because it absolutely does
We’ve been getting the same game with slightly more polished gameplay and better graphics since 06 every couple of years and its getting stale
Gears was my go to multiplayer since the first and the first game is still one of my all time favourite campaigns but the series hasnt evolved at all, unless you count the pointless open world sections in 5 which added nothing of value
We need more gameplay variety, encouters have felt the same since 06, more destruction, more horror themes, different animations, just stop pumping out the same thing over and over

The Multiplayer literally delves into the same since 2006 with the exception of maybe 3 that had better weapon usage besided the Gnasher.
I still have a lot of fun with the multiplayer, there’s just something about gnasher and wall bounce fights that are always fun to me but it’s absolutely something that turns people away from it, not to mention at this point if you’re a noob coming into Gears, you’re gonna get destroyed online
I do understand why they are hesitant to change it though, they dont want to piss off the hardcore mutliplayer fans, theres absolutely no reason to not innovate with the single player though

I’m watching this now and it’s really good.
Great video and, as I suspected, a positive one.
Noah’s video is fantastic and I agree with him, 5 is one of the best. I think that 3, 2 and 5 are the best games in the franchise.
Oh, I was also browsing the latest Trueachievements Xbox Gameplay Chart - which tracks 2.3 million Xbox players from outside the site - and it turns out Gears 5 is still there at number 34, 3 years after launch. At the same time, Outriders, the game some people said was what Gears should become to keep going, is nowhere to be found.
This is surely a bug, right? I mean, come on, everybody was so sure Outriders was the evolution of Gears, right? 
Where are those people now? I don’t see them, bruh. 
Where are they? 
Are they okay?

Who said that was delusional, also People Can Fly made the worst Gears, not a coincidence.
