I think there is a middle ground that we can agree that Starfield is gonna be bonkers.

… People are down on Gears beause the series has barely evolved in 15 years, adding a robot that can do a couple thing is to help you in combat and pointless open world sections is not what the series needs The idea that it needs to die or they need to move on to a new IP isnt true although it would be nice as new IPs are always cool to have but they 100% absolutely need to innovate with 6 if they want to continue the series as a “pillar” Iv said it before and steam sales arent everything but basically all the big games MS have put on steam/pc have thrived, SoT, Forza, Halo, AoE but Gears has straight up failed on steam and arguably the best playing TPS series for the last decade, a game that look and runs as well as Gears should be doing that badly when everything else continues to make bank

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

ProgStopper · December 11, 2021, 2:49pm

AllianceOfficer · December 11, 2021, 2:52pm

pg2g · December 11, 2021, 2:53pm

We got 10 years of updates coming to an amazing base game, doesn’t get better than that

javycane · December 11, 2021, 2:53pm

343 gonna do Destiny but better …

pg2g · December 11, 2021, 2:54pm

Except the graphics lol

Rumble · December 11, 2021, 3:06pm

I would not take that so literally.

10 years of support, yes, with substantial updates over the first couple of years, I’m sure, but that’ll eventually wind down to patches and small content updates focused primarily on stability, cosmetics and monetisation.

…x division as there were so few first-party games. This situation doesn’t exist anymore and Gears Next will be in a position where it has more room to breathe, as it won’t release as some kind of lone wolf blockbuster Xbox game. Gears Next will be one of many Xbox games, and that gives both the team as well as the series itself the chance to really shine on its own without the pressure of having to carry a whole year of Xbox. We can also predict today already that Gears Next will receive the longest dev time The Coalition ever had on a game. I don’t expect Gears Next before 2024 – that is still some good time to come, and people will think about a Gears return different by then, some will even be impatient already. Gears is a core part of the Xbox DNA. And it should absolutely stay this way.

This is my same thinking, Gears won’t be alone anymore within Xbox line-up, so it wouldn’t suffer from impossible expectations.

Shakez · December 11, 2021, 3:08pm

I thought the same.

Campaign DLC with new vehicles and weapons is the way to go.

…e Ace Combat, a game that doesn’t really change much for each iteration, but Project Aces isn’t a massive studios with the best of the best in working with an engine. The Gears “problem” is that’s it’s a fun game, popular in some places, but it isn’t working to the full potential of the studio, the only thing that is amazing on this series is the graphics, and boy we all know that Gears 6 will look stunning, will it play the same? Gears could continue for all I care if The coalition can put all their power and creativity into rebuilding it into something or creating something new. I’ll say it again, Gears isn’t bigger than the potential creativity and tech The Coalition can bring to Xbox, the core gameplay of Gears simply hold them back because they need to stay true to that formula always.

Why is this flag ?
