Gears multiplayer would better serve as a standalone because current gears MP is not that popular these days. I think they need to fix it to make it accessible to newcomers because Gears current MP feels like a country club that’s not welcoming to new players

I hope they keep on making Gears games until I die.

Multiplayer games these days need much bigger teams run… Period
All the big multiplayer games are mostly multiplayer genre only and doesn’t have traditional campaigns
We have CoD… But we all know how many studios work on it already
Gears multiplayer can serve its community but not the multiplayer community
They need to expand
Don’t get sucked in. It’s time we stop celebrating this monster.
I think the gameplay needs to change for MP tbh. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy Gears, but like I’ve mentioned it’s hard to get my friends to jump into it due to learning curve and non that welcoming to newcomers. I know some won’t like it, but in order for Gears multiplayer to be relevant they need to make it a F2P game that is accessible.

I believe that to reach a new audience, Gears will need a reimagining and not just separate MP. Maybe even Halo should go through this process.

XGS Armchair Quarterbacks: “Grounded, Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush are too small and experimental, where are the AAA blockbusters?”
Also XGS Armchair Quarterbacks: “More Gears? So disappointing, I wanted something small and experimental instead!”

I don’t subscribe to either of those two opinions, but to be fair if people were excited for anything coming from The Coalition, can we really blame them? Not all studios, projects are the same and I feel it’s a bit simplifying.

Yeah, they aren’t working on any new IP AAA games:
- Starfield
- Redfall
- Everwild
- Contraband
- inXile New rpg
- Project Midnight
- Project Dragon
- Project Suerte
- ZeniMax Online Studios next game
Who even knows what else, they have tons of studios that we have no clue what they are working on.

I’m more of a Halo guy, but even I realize that there is nothing out there that plays like Gears. Its unique. "Reimagining " it by making it play like everything else out now would suck.
People who love Gears are tgere for its gameplay, why should it change for people who aren’t fans?
Not against evolving the gameplay so long as its still fundamentally Gears of War.

Yeah while Gears may not be at it’s strongest it obviously still has something of a fanbase. The problem I think is come the E3 showcase, when Gears 6 does get unveiled the Coalition are going to have to come up with something really impressive to make people go “Wow this is amazing” (the first Gears 4 unveiling nearly gave this impression) rather than just “oh it’s just more Gears”. Even really pretty graphics might not be enough because the moment people see Kait, the armour and Gears aesthetic, you know a lot of the people watching will instantly have that “oh it’s just Gears” reaction. So i really hope they have taken the time to shake up the gameplay. I doubt it will happen but i would love it if they took a bold step and maybe incorporated some elements from Gears Tactics even.
The Coalition do get a lot of praise and i’m probably in a minority but so far i’ve found their games to be solid. Maybe not quite as amazing as others have found them. Gears 4 for the most part felt like Gears 3 (but with worse characters) and i don’t feel Gears 5 really changed the core gameplay as much as a lot of people say.
This would make sense. Unless the Coalition really wants to make the PvP portion themselves (and I feel like they do), just farm out the PvP to another studio with the Coalition’s supervision to make sure it isn’t terrible.
And if it’s a standalone mode, you don’t have to worry about it limiting the main game in any way as far as release dates go. I think you could also tie it all together in a, dare I say, Gears Collection.

Crazy how people thought Gears was winding down after Hivebusters, Gears Tactics, and two Gears Netflix productions being announced. It’s a Gears world and we just live in it.

Pour one out for my hopes and dreams of the Coalition making a new IP.

Getting Gears 6 sooner rather than later is a good thing but I don’t want The Coalition to change anything. Keep it the same as Gears 5 but without the open areas so the Kait story line can be wrapped up.
Then, I go with a new trilogy with the characters from Hivebusters and this is where they can change stuff up. Give me melee weapons without durability as an extra weapon. Give me a weapon wheel, let Grenades be the RB button and use the directional pad left or right to select the grenade type (explosive, fire, etc.), let it be like the original Gears trilogy, dark, gritty, linear, etc. Then, with the characters, you can select one of the three with their different abilities and upgrade trees. You can still use all the guns and melee weapons but let them stand out combat wise by playing differently.
While doing that, I would expand the studio to two full teams of at least 200+ people each. While the core is developing the Hivebusters trilogy (hehe), the secondary team can create a Gears of War survival horror game. Third person, no cover, RE style with resources, etc. only one character you control. I would make it Gabe Diaz and a prequel to the Gears games.
I know none of this is probably going to happen but I can hope that it does. Hehe.
