But how much can the Gears campaign evolve? Gameplay I believe cant change too much without people crying that its not Gears and artificially extending to 30 hours in a campaign I personally wouldn’t find ideal. Gears gameplay loop to me is good enough for the campaign length that it has always had personally.
For me Gears biggest selling point is it’s gameplay though. I do recognize that most of todays gaming audience couldn’t give a damn how well a game plays though and care more about “story” or whatever but frankly nothing else plays quite like Gears. Even though i am not as much a fan of it’s MP as i am of Halo’s ( i love Horde mode though) i thoroughly enjoy the campaigns because they are fun to play with cool set pieces. I also don’t think Gears needs to be “saved”. When people talk about how it’s no longer in the top played MP games these days or whatever , tend to forget that when it was one of the top dogs in the 360 era there wasn’t nearly as much competition as there is now in that space as there is now.
As far as singleplayer goes Hivebusters is pretty much the kind of thing i want from Gears. What i don’t want from a future Gears game is for them to essentially make a completely different game and slap the Gears name on it like they did GOW. ( sorry but i don’t like GOW 2018 at all. ) Just make it a spin off or completely new IP if they want to do that. As others have said, MS has plenty of studios that will put out plenty of games, so people who don’t like Gears can simply move onto something else.
I see no need to take a game that does it’s own thing strip it of it’s identity and make it like everything else so it can be “relevant” again.

Then the campaign and gameplay are not doing a good job at making Gears grow then.
That doesn’t bode well, if true.
Ok sure

Me: Holy shit, did I fall back into 2020 like a few months before launch? Did we not just have two months of the console already being out?

I don’t get it. There are only 2 models and people keep on acting like this is some super confusing shit. There’s an X, which is more powerful, and an S, which is less powerful and cheaper. That’s all. The One X was already discontinued and the One S may be soon as well, this shouldn’t be a problem.

Are we really going back to that debat, two months after launch ?

Halo is definitely the bigger hitter of the list, and by far what I’m most excited for. Exclusive or not, I’m also really hoping to play Starfield this year and hope we get more info on it once the deal closes.

Not a bad list at all. The Ascent, CrossfireX, The Gunk, Halo: Infinite, Psychonauts 2, Tunic, 12 Minutes, and Way to the Woods are what I’m looking forward to the most.

A bit quiet in terms of big AAA games but I’m sure that will change sooner than later. Hopefully this is the year of Tunic
