Coalition Gears zzzzzzzz. Pretty but thats it from me.

they are good but their games can’t reach trilogy glory.

also the last thing gears needs is super powers or rpg numbers on screen

[Synadex]

My worry last year was about gamepalay since the games were too early too show and I was right I am a little worried about that this year but less so, Hellblade, everwild,avowed, should all have gameplay with halo and stuff. Perfect dark,fable,inexile,state of decay and compulsion are the the ones I worry about. Also I except big 3rd party games to be revealed although they might not be ready yet to show.

Didnt say it needed super powers but that style of game outriders is doing would pivot well in Gears.

what gears needs complete reboot back to the roots and not another sequel to try new ideas with these mediocre characters or shoving open world design into the game

Don’t hate me for this. I’m all about getting hyped so don’t let this kill your excitement. But I felt like sharing this as Jeff is usually on point.

Jeff Grubb on XboxEra podcast: ''But I also think MS needs that (referring to Starfield showing at E3) cause I think the Xbox show itself is probably gonna be disappointing to a lot of people because there won’t be a lot of new mindblowing announcements they sort of announced everything that they can at this point, there’s a few things, like we know that Jason Ronalds been teasing something but we all know what Jason Ronalds is looking forward to the most right, like probably a Forza game right (FH5). So what is Xbox gonna have, they’ll probably gonna talk a lot about Halo, they’ll probably gonna have 1-2 unannounced games, and if we’re lucky some updates on the stuff that they’ve already talked about, some stuff about Avowed, some stuff about Perfect Dark, but that’s gonna be like a few more teasers. Nothing too substantial. We’re still a ways out. That’s the stuff they’re gonna really have to talk about in 2022. So I would expect a lot on Halo, a few updates here and there and some other stuff and then let Bethesda take over and say ok now let’s go to the Bethesda show and be so grateful that we bought Bethesda (alluding that MS without them didn’t have much to show this year).

This was 4 weeks ago. So things could have changed dunno. Either way I’m fine. The future is bright and I’d rather the teams get all the time in the world they need instead of rushing things. Show things whenever they’re ready. Even if it means not much gameplay this year.

@javycane

So 8/10 isnt great??? 9/10 is excelent and 10 is perfection.

What kind of scale are you people using.

Also 6.5??? Okay

Point being that attaching qualitative sentiment to quantitative measures is futile. Because it’s entirely subjective.

Even if it wasn’t, your definition of ‘great’ probably differs to mine.

Imo what’s more important is your explanation and rationale.

I agree, it’d fit really well in the universe of Gears. In fact, in Gears Tactics you already had something like this - upgrading the skill trees of your characters, modding weapons, opening gear drops with loot. And in Hivebusters you had different characters with distinct abilities, and upgrades throughout the game. I’d be all over Gears in the style of a looter shooter.

100%. I absolutely do not care for any of these characters at all lol.

He doesn’t know everything for sure, he talked about obvious things that we already knew about.

There’s third-party announcements, second-party announcements and updates on hellblade, some Forza game, avowed, everwild, Bethesda games.

That IS an awesome show.

Find it slightly weird that Jeff expects a update on Perfect Dark… but not Hellblade 2 which is relatively far into its development cycle.

I think he’s speculating really, doesn’t make much sense for small updates on E3, we didn’t see things like “small updates” last year.

Literally nothing has been shown about Hellblade in the 14 months since the original series X announcement…

I fully expect a deeper dive for E3.

[Louay]

i don’t think it’s good idea to start with halo again simply because it doesn’t scream next gen, also don’t do that cgi halo again before reveal i mean what the point of that ? it was waste of money and time

@javycane

So 8/10 isnt great??? 9/10 is excelent and 10 is perfection.

What kind of scale are you people using.

Also 6.5??? Okay

3/10 = horrible 4/10 very bad 5/10 =bad 6/10 = ok 7/10= pretty good 8/10 good 9/10 very good/great 10/10= amazing/ GOTY

That’s how I grade stuff. Anyway last year was disappointing for me because they needed to show some graphical showcases for the new Xbox generation but didn’t. I don’t mind CGI if shows what a game is going to be about but last summers wasn’t good. Halo was the highlight for me because I’m a super fan, loved the gameplay. Disappointed by the graphics. Still a decent show.

While I agree, there’s high possibility that Halo opens it again.

BUT, I think that Hellblade 2 has a nice chance of opening it.
