Hey do you think youll be able to make a video about weapons you'd like to see from gears of war? Like scraped weapons from the game they didn't put in it and from the comics?
Man, likewise brother. I've been playing gears of war since the day it dropped on 360. It didn't until gears of war 4 for me. All through, it technically ended at 3. I'm turning 31 this month, so trust me... I've been a fan for a long time with HIGH stats on every single one except tactics... Never even played that bs. But time flying for me... Makes think of two things.. I'm getting old, or the game that I once loved... Is slowly fading away. I have 3 children now vs when gears of war dropped and I was only 16
@@offworlder1 Im glad people are playing it again. 3 months ago i downloaded it to play it and all the multiplayer games i got in had at least one bot. coudnt do it. Ive heard more people are back on.
Honestly, I really hope we get a fist fight combat like you said, and the ability to be on a feature to replay as the Locust, or General Raam. Edit:Thank you all, and you Abz. I never thought I’d get 76 likes. I’m honestly happy, I’m not famous and I’m just happy to be on this earth.
Imagen if they did what Transformers Fall of Cybertron did with the campaing. First part is from COG's perspective. Second part is from Locust's perspective. And then in the third part you swap between COG and Locust perpective.
That's what people thought about infinite before it released. The coalition is a better studio than 343, so I'm more optimistic towards gears than halo.
hoping Beast mode makes a return, it was very unique. Maybe even a mode where you play against actual players as Gears then the opposing team Locust that vary from drones to corpsers. Like a L4D2 versus approach. The Gears have to defend while the locust try to breach
Gears actually experimented with this type of Game mode in Gears of War: Judgement it was called Overrun and it was a Horde mode and Beast mode Fusion, was actually pretty fun.
With talks of the city and level design and if they want to keep elements of open world, a game that combines linear and open world elements really well is Halo 3 odst. Its levels were linear but you had lots of options to traverse in. Flanking routes, back alleyways, catwalks, large courtyard battles. Also would be cool to finally see the 4th carmine brother in this game.
I hope they do they gamescom is coming so let's hope they announce it there is also a rumor that it's real and it's official done and being internally tested
@@nadaesfacilonly if they do a remaster of graphics. If they simple do a collection and upscale gameplay with the newer technology without a full graphics overall and port it to steam to grow the audience it would be a perfect hype build up before e day
Well according to Gears of War lore E day is basically where General Raam and Queen Myrrah initially link up to begin their assault, so we should definitely be seeing Raam in Gears of War E day I would think
I hope they take the retro lancer charge off the reload button That completely threw me, my friends and some of my family off when they figured this out in gears 5 and they refused to play gears 5 for this reason because this wasn’t what they were used too Also having the bayonet on the reload button has a few problems especially in the heat of battle I have died many times when my character reloaded instead of using the bayonet and vice versa
Personally it wasn't a big issue for me on my runs but I also see adding the slash in place of bayonet / chainsaw is kinda redundant so i see where you come from
The thing is, that we already had the same issue with Bayonnet/chainsaw beeing on the melee button. That was cluncky, and with the new melee combo it wasn't possible to keep it on it. You just need to be used to it. But i think that even if its "cluncky" its still better than the melee button.
Halo and Gears of War are like the same game :you play a Gear Spartan a badass soldier fighting for humanity tagainst non human monsters covenant and Locust but the story is dark and gritty about how the enemy is endless they have Almost wipeout everyone and you the player play a soldier fighting tons of enemies that makes feel important Side note: E Day is giving me Halo Reach Vibes I guess my a fan of stories about hopeless wars 😢
In gears 1, Marcus or Dom never were like surprised or asked questions about who Raam was and kind of fought him without questioning and won "easily" (He was surprise when he saw Kim die but that's not the point) So because of that, I think Marcus would have a small history with Raam, if you play ultimate edition, after Raam kills Kim he looks over at Marcus like he recognize him. Plus Raam was a leading general for 14 years so you think Marcus would know who Raam is.
Well no they’re right. There was no more war after gears 2. Gears 3 was not war, it was: ‘everything is messed up and everyone os desperately trying to survive by any means necessary”
Berserker's appearance wouldn't make sense since Marcus never encountered one until Baird told him about it. They could appear, but they would have to appear in a way when we weren't in control of Marcus or his crew. It would be cool to see them again though.
I recommend reading Jacinto remnant talks about the time around e day kind of eye opening. And also digs into Maria and how she kind of lost her mind. How bad dom felt leaving her. It also elaborated on light mass boom when the were losing
I remember having my scare moments in the gears of war moments. Feeling those moments again? Whooooo!! Bring it back!! 😄 Great Video King Abz. I'm so glad to grow up with the Gears of War community
@@darthmorgoththesecond9990 I am a fan boy for the gears franchise to me as long as the formula is similar i will love it i even loved judgement, 4 and 5 to me the lore and just seeing the characters is enough
It makes sense, I remember playing gears 1 and it did have the horror, and then you got the human element, where you felt the team. A unit of badass bros, grunt voices and Marcus spewing “awww sh**!”. This is going to be good, I’m glad we’re going back. We may get to see how Marcus got his scar as well
Ik it’s super unlikely because 1. It takes place during E-day 2. Escape wasn’t very popular But I do hope some version of escape comes back in this game. In particular maybe a game mode called hollow storm. Where you drop pod into the hollow plant a bomb somewhere specific then get out Idk I just wish escape was more fleshed out lol
You earned a sub for me abz. I've been binge watching your lore videos for 3 days now and I can't believe how much passion you put in them. Love seeing other people share the games I love.
My prediction on Gears of War E-Day Considering it’s taken place during the first day of Emergence Day, I would expect the story beats match up to the books and will end in Marcus going to prison, thus leading into the first game. Characters - because Marcus and Dom never met Cole and Baird and typically each gears of war game has to have a squad of 4, I think Tai and the 4th brother Carmine would be supporting characters in the E-Day game.
RAAM is my favorite character out of them all. I remember when I first played and seeing his design especially with the kryll shield at the end of the first game he looked so badass I really hope they have him in the game.
I do wonder if the classic chainsaw lancer would be a one and only prototype used by Marcus during maybe half of the story... That would make it both Lore friendly and make you felt you are witness some history.
It's going to be like super shot gun for doom guy or Grave Gun for Gorden, at least during some times of the story, maybe in the last few part the gun was put into production. Or maybe we can upgrade this prototype Lance to make it more powerful ?
As I recall, the origin of the chainsaw is that Tai used a chainsaw on a locust and it proved far more effective than the bayonet (which reportedly was ineffective in penetrating the locusts thick hide... so one might expect a broken bayonet mechanic in EDay) and then Marcus's dad engineered the chainsaw bayonet on the modern lancer. Therefore, I think it would require some revisionist history to include the chainsaw bayonet in any form if the game is centered on the single day of E-day and doesn't span a longer timeframe. I'd have to go back and look at the specifics, but I would expect that whether we see the chainsaw bayonet or not will depend on how long a timespan the game covers. I think it's likely that you will see the modern low-kick lancer as the Standard equipment rather than the jumpy retro style in order to give some kind of familiarity to the feel from the other games.
It makes sense since this is the start of the locust invasion which means lead mad scientist of the locust army ukkon would develop much more deadly sophisticated weapons and mutations utilizing the effects of illumusion
Cheers for the video, fella! I'm excited about the new game, but also not expecting that much as The Coalition have proven, over their 3 games, that they are NOT the stewards for this franchise. UE was technically inept, 4 forced something onto the players that they didn't want, and 5.....well, that was.....best not spoken about anymore. Still, as Gears fans we live in hope!
For the last 2yrs I have been talking with my son and siblings about the next Gears Of War game/Gears game. And told them the franchise absolutely NEEDS to return to the older vibe and, OG characters. Whether that be by a Gears 6 that would somehow involve time travel? And in doing so, some things slightly change. Like saving Dom and his wife? Or something...but, they needed to go back to the OG style. Thankfully they are. I would comment on their social media posts a lot about how they needed to do this. And that the majority of us want THIS! They actually listened to all of us. Really hoping that they make the controller layout like the OG layout too. Not like Judgement or Gears 5.
I'm hoping to see some of those cut enemy concepts from that video on all the cut content in the gears series like the Boomer master with the metal whip having to train wretches to attack people or the drones with wretches on leashes hunting survivors from the initial emergence to capture
Im most curious how they will impliment the "chainsaw" since the Lancer isnt invented yet but they have mentioned chainsawing Locust. Also I love that they are treating this as a "mainline entry" and not just a spin off to keep us going till Gears 6. Im so hyped iv wanted EDay since Gears 2. This is our "Halo Reach" moment
I hope this new GOW will be more terrifying than the first. I still like the first/debut where it all started. I would also like to see a combo three pack of the first trilogy. I even like to see new enemies, levels, weapons, plot, storyline, etc.
Honestly, I hope they somehow show Will Carmine’s last mission with his squad before what happened to them both explaining and going into him looking at the photo of his squad from the comic
The only thing i wont like about Gears of War E Day is that we wont be able to see anyone from the Carmine family😭 all of the brothers are too young in the lore during eday to fight the locust & the only carmine who is old enough to fight the locust freaking dies within minutes of the locust emerging in the comics😭😭😭
Hopefully we get missions where we can also play as the common Cog soldier except we usually end up dying due to: being overwhelmed/having Hammer strikes being called down on us/being left behind during heated evacs. Something to truly show is just how fckd the Serans were on E-Day and onward. Gears 4 had a mission where you defended a spot with a Hammer of Dawn while Kim went inside to gather data. Near the end you get an update that the Hammer was offline followed by your squad being killed by a Reaver’s missile which sucked but was also a cool because it showed you didnt always win against the Locust Horde
there is so much story in the comic book of the locust point of view, i really hope they add the point of view in the game so we can get locust's point of view. (spoilers ahead in case they actually add it) i really want them to show how Uzil Sraak died by Ra'am, and how Skorge and Ra'am became like Marcus and Dom, brothers. they need to show how important the locust's war was with the lambent and how serious it was.
I'm so psyched and ready, but one question that I'm having is mostly in regards to the weaponry. The main issue is the Lancer. I know they didn't have the Mk. 2 Lancer on E-Day, but seeing a Gears game without it feels so strange and surreal. It's THE signature weapon of the franchise, and I hope they find some way to work it in. However, to make that choice takes some balls, and I respect that and am willing to give them a chance.
Krill, beast riders, berserkers Karn and the sires would be a good entrance to the game. Even tho we don’t see the sires until after we enter Niles lab. This game is gonna save the franchise from its teenage esthetic coalition decided to go with. I hope we get fist fight combat, be able to use our knifes as a weapon, and be able to actually free roam Jacinto.
Gears is what brought me to be a gamer back when i was young and im 20 now, to see that time flying makes me happy and sad, but by damn i can and will say BRING THE HORDE✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
If you ask me lore wise it would also make sense to have the locust bigger and stronger as their troops are fresh and haven't been stagnated from a long war or having the hollow flooded and sunk.
Honestly, reading that interview, it seems like Matt was giving a lot of passion and pride into what he thinks is gonna be a knockout for the Gears of War franchise. It makes me excited to see what they have in store.
This might be controversial,but I personally feel like gears of war 4 delivered on the horror pretty well to the point where I would hold it up high on the terror list.the introduction of nearly every new enemy was terrifying and not a force to be messed with.my favorite would be the first sighting of a snatcher
I hope Raam does return for atleast a brief moment. The krill, theron guards, and berserkers from gears 1 cant come back because in gears 1 marcus says "wtf is that" basically every time lol. But with Raam he basically has no comment about seeing him before or not so they could use him. Im so hyped
I would actually like for Raam to return in E-Day but I'd also like for them to either introduce an all new commander that maybe RAAM workked under or bring in a locust commander from the comics
I hope we get some content like RAAM's shadow DLC from GoW3. They could make the story like Halo 2 where you see different sides of the war from the view of the faction in question. Or just bring back Beast Mode, since that was awesome in it's own right
I'm hoping to some early versions of locust enemies that were phased out later in the war as the locust horde got better equipment or understood the fight they were having better. Also hoping to see old enemies brought back like the kryll
You known, I would love to see the weapons from previous gears of war games, like the classic hammer (the hammer from the first gears), the booshka, the breencshot, the tripwire crossbow, the stim granedes.
Mode wise what we need is classic pvp horde beast & that overrun game mode from judgement customisation wise we need full weapon cog & locust customisation like gears tactics this will literally save gears & be the best yet if they deliver on the these things
Hey Abz, I remember you do crossover theory videos and stuff. I'm curious on your opinion on who would win in a fight. One of the Aliens from A Quiet Place, or a Berserker from Gears. Both are incredibly powerful, impenetrable skin, blind and all that. I'd love your insight on this. Since some of my favorite content is your crossover videos.
It all depends on speed, honestly. Although it the Berserkers' cry is a high enough frequency, it could be disorienting to the Alien and expose its weak spot. It's just a matter of who finds who first.
it would be nice to see something like Beast Mode where u can play as different Enemies or play. as the locust when u beat the game where we could see what the locust went through before E-day which make a good Dlc if they did that it would add a lot to the. story and make it work well so it can grow the lore because in gears of war 3 where u get to play as Raam. shows it is possible to do something like that since it would show u how the locust would been fighting there war with lambent and the Humans so it would expand the gears story so we would see how the did things and what led up to E-day just my thoughts.
Do you think we’ll see characters like Theron guards, Kantus, and berserkers? I was replaying gears 1 and the first time the group encounters the Theron’s is in the ground at the imulsion pump. By the dialogue it seems like it is the first time the group encounter them. This is the same with the berserker as well as the kantus being underground for the beginning of the war.
Im a playstation dude, but grew up playing the 360 games for a couple years. When gears was released i think that was the of the first games i wanted for myself. So i will be buying an xbox just for this game.
I recently stopped playing pc games, and my pc broke months ago anyway, recently I switched to ps5 and Xbox series x ,I have heard of gears of war , I think I played gears of war 2 , 3 on the Xbox one , but now I’m definitely pre ordering this when it comes out
Super excited to re enter the franchise haven’t played since 3 however I think we might see an “early version” of RAAM where he’s not the big bad but instead possibly his predecessor…either way this shits gonna rock
It would be a waste not to give us a more realized beast mode, make it sort of like hive busters where players have to survive as gears but other players have to stop them as the horde? Idk I just play video games
FOR THE HORDE! But apart from that, news like this is actually giving me hope for gears of war! Im a huge gears of war fan and positive and good stuff like this. This makes me wanna pre-order the game when it comes out! Thank you, Abz, for keeping us updated! And keep up the good work!
Definitely will be interesting to see if the gameplay shifts some to better represent the CoGs inexperience against immense soldiers. Being ragdolled around by drones would be crazy. 😅
I feel like the new locust boss might be Ketor Vrol but who else could they use? Unless they wanna introduce a new high commanding locust that we’ve never seen in comics or heard of in books.
I hope we get the old retro lancer from Gears 3 again. It was inaccurate but that thing was a beast. Loved it in the campaign. Loved the hammerburst in that game too
Nice video as always keep up the good work man and You know I’d love a game about the pendulum wars and to play from both prospectives of the Cog and Uir
Lots more to discuss as we are entering week 2 of "WE ARE SO BACK"
I'm officially convinced you are only the best of the best at this point, your content is just too good to not being watch
That's really kind thank you, I'm always trying to improve!
Hell yea abz!
Modes please bring back beast being the creators is amazing
Hey do you think youll be able to make a video about weapons you'd like to see from gears of war? Like scraped weapons from the game they didn't put in it and from the comics?
Gears ended at 3 for me along with me graduating High school at the time.. now it’s starting over for me as a 31 year old man… Jesus time flies
You telling me!!

My prediction on Gears of War E-Day
Considering it’s taken place during the first day of Emergence Day, I would expect the story beats match up to the books and will end in Marcus going to prison, thus leading into the first game.
Characters - because Marcus and Dom never met Cole and Baird and typically each gears of war game has to have a squad of 4, I think Tai and the 4th brother Carmine would be supporting characters in the E-Day game.
As a longtime gears fan, keep going, you're one of the few bastions we have here on youtube.
Will do sir, my pleasure!
So happy I found this channel great content brother keep it coming😊
Thank you, welcome to the channel!
RAAM is my favorite character out of them all. I remember when I first played and seeing his design especially with the kryll shield at the end of the first game he looked so badass I really hope they have him in the game.

I'm hoping to see some of those cut enemy concepts from that video on all the cut content in the gears series like the Boomer master with the metal whip having to train wretches to attack people or the drones with wretches on leashes hunting survivors from the initial emergence to capture
Love you ABZ! YOU kept gears of war alive👑👑👑👑👑
Thank you love you too! Done what I can for the franchise over the years, love this community endlessly!
Im most curious how they will impliment the "chainsaw" since the Lancer isnt invented yet but they have mentioned chainsawing Locust. Also I love that they are treating this as a "mainline entry" and not just a spin off to keep us going till Gears 6. Im so hyped iv wanted EDay since Gears 2. This is our "Halo Reach" moment
Can't freaking wait. Gears is my favorite gaming franchise. 3s my favorite game period
I'd love to see beast mode come back. Was a fun mode that could of been built on
I hope this new GOW will be more terrifying than the first. I still like the first/debut where it all started. I would also like to see a combo three pack of the first trilogy. I even like to see new enemies, levels, weapons, plot, storyline, etc.
Man I love coming to your videos for information on gears I can’t wait for the next one !!
I want to see beast mode again
Honestly, I hope they somehow show Will Carmine’s last mission with his squad before what happened to them both explaining and going into him looking at the photo of his squad from the comic
New locust monsters is a dream, I love the locust vibe and appearance, and seeing a new locust hollow monster or boomer type would be hella good
The only thing i wont like about Gears of War E Day is that we wont be able to see anyone from the Carmine family😭 all of the brothers are too young in the lore during eday to fight the locust & the only carmine who is old enough to fight the locust freaking dies within minutes of the locust emerging in the comics😭😭😭
Their father will be there
Hopefully we get missions where we can also play as the common Cog soldier except we usually end up dying due to: being overwhelmed/having Hammer strikes being called down on us/being left behind during heated evacs. Something to truly show is just how fckd the Serans were on E-Day and onward.
Gears 4 had a mission where you defended a spot with a Hammer of Dawn while Kim went inside to gather data. Near the end you get an update that the Hammer was offline followed by your squad being killed by a Reaver’s missile which sucked but was also a cool because it showed you didnt always win against the Locust Horde
I’m hoping this Gears will have the weapon and armor customization I know they experimented with it in Gears Tactics and everyone liked it
I think customisation could be cool. Like you've a home base hidden in the city with Adam working of stuff to try out.
there is so much story in the comic book of the locust point of view, i really hope they add the point of view in the game so we can get locust's point of view. (spoilers ahead in case they actually add it)
i really want them to show how Uzil Sraak died by Ra'am, and how Skorge and Ra'am became like Marcus and Dom, brothers. they need to show how important the locust's war was with the lambent and how serious it was.
I'm so psyched and ready, but one question that I'm having is mostly in regards to the weaponry. The main issue is the Lancer. I know they didn't have the Mk. 2 Lancer on E-Day, but seeing a Gears game without it feels so strange and surreal. It's THE signature weapon of the franchise, and I hope they find some way to work it in. However, to make that choice takes some balls, and I respect that and am willing to give them a chance.
Krill, beast riders, berserkers Karn and the sires would be a good entrance to the game. Even tho we don’t see the sires until after we enter Niles lab. This game is gonna save the franchise from its teenage esthetic coalition decided to go with. I hope we get fist fight combat, be able to use our knifes as a weapon, and be able to actually free roam Jacinto.
I'm so happy we all get to see the horde once again
Gears is what brought me to be a gamer back when i was young and im 20 now, to see that time flying makes me happy and sad, but by damn i can and will say BRING THE HORDE✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
If you ask me lore wise it would also make sense to have the locust bigger and stronger as their troops are fresh and haven't been stagnated from a long war or having the hollow flooded and sunk.
Honestly, reading that interview, it seems like Matt was giving a lot of passion and pride into what he thinks is gonna be a knockout for the Gears of War franchise. It makes me excited to see what they have in store.
I'd love for them to bring Beast Mode back. It was such a blast in 3, so playing it again would be a no brainer
This might be controversial,but I personally feel like gears of war 4 delivered on the horror pretty well to the point where I would hold it up high on the terror list.the introduction of nearly every new enemy was terrifying and not a force to be messed with.my favorite would be the first sighting of a snatcher
I hope Raam does return for atleast a brief moment. The krill, theron guards, and berserkers from gears 1 cant come back because in gears 1 marcus says "wtf is that" basically every time lol. But with Raam he basically has no comment about seeing him before or not so they could use him. Im so hyped
Any news on when is the release trailer coming out
I would actually like for Raam to return in E-Day but I'd also like for them to either introduce an all new commander that maybe RAAM workked under or bring in a locust commander from the comics
I hope we get to see Baird and Cole, like how e-day went down for them.
i would love to see them release all of the gears games like they did with the master chief collection
Im so happy gears is back
I hope we get some content like RAAM's shadow DLC from GoW3. They could make the story like Halo 2 where you see different sides of the war from the view of the faction in question. Or just bring back Beast Mode, since that was awesome in it's own right
We have a decent idea of the key locust figures during e day, so I'd be surprised if Raam didn't appear in some fashion! So hyped either way 🎉
I think we kind of all need this in our lives
I'm hoping to some early versions of locust enemies that were phased out later in the war as the locust horde got better equipment or understood the fight they were having better. Also hoping to see old enemies brought back like the kryll
I would love to see the retro sawed-off come back!!!
You known, I would love to see the weapons from previous gears of war games, like the classic hammer (the hammer from the first gears), the booshka, the breencshot, the tripwire crossbow, the stim granedes.
I didn't like judgement all that much but the booshka was my baby
Mode wise what we need is classic pvp horde beast & that overrun game mode from judgement customisation wise we need full weapon cog & locust customisation like gears tactics this will literally save gears & be the best yet if they deliver on the these things
If they're going to have a melee system they should make ammo somewhat more scarce and the weapons themselves more powerful
Hell yeah brother good work and thanks for giving us this information
Hey Abz, I remember you do crossover theory videos and stuff. I'm curious on your opinion on who would win in a fight. One of the Aliens from A Quiet Place, or a Berserker from Gears. Both are incredibly powerful, impenetrable skin, blind and all that. I'd love your insight on this. Since some of my favorite content is your crossover videos.
It all depends on speed, honestly. Although it the Berserkers' cry is a high enough frequency, it could be disorienting to the Alien and expose its weak spot. It's just a matter of who finds who first.
@@AustynJI like that
Painful scenes with Dom and Maria? yeah i'm not ready to open that wound again
im PRAYING that we get a Locust DLC campaign where we get to play as Raam and Skorge as they fight in the Locust vs Lambent war 😭🙏🏼
it would be nice to see something like Beast Mode where u can play as different Enemies or play. as the locust when u beat the game where we could see what the locust went through before E-day which make a good Dlc if they did that it would add a lot to the. story and make it work well so it can grow the lore because in gears of war 3 where u get to play as Raam. shows it is possible to do something like that since it would show u how the locust would been fighting there war with lambent and the Humans so it would expand the gears story so we would see how the did things and what led up to E-day just my thoughts.
Be cool to be able to finally ride in a king raven or have a king raven mission I’m sure always loved those scenes in gears 1 n 2
Do you think we’ll see characters like Theron guards, Kantus, and berserkers? I was replaying gears 1 and the first time the group encounters the Theron’s is in the ground at the imulsion pump. By the dialogue it seems like it is the first time the group encounter them. This is the same with the berserker as well as the kantus being underground for the beginning of the war.
Im a playstation dude, but grew up playing the 360 games for a couple years. When gears was released i think that was the of the first games i wanted for myself. So i will be buying an xbox just for this game.
This is gonna be exciting! They better not screw this up
I recently stopped playing pc games, and my pc broke months ago anyway, recently I switched to ps5 and Xbox series x ,I have heard of gears of war , I think I played gears of war 2 , 3 on the Xbox one , but now I’m definitely pre ordering this when it comes out
Super excited to re enter the franchise haven’t played since 3 however I think we might see an “early version” of RAAM where he’s not the big bad but instead possibly his predecessor…either way this shits gonna rock
They finally listening to the fans about the horror and dark elements of 1 n 2
Hearing The Direction Of This Game Is Music To My Ears
It would be a waste not to give us a more realized beast mode, make it sort of like hive busters where players have to survive as gears but other players have to stop them as the horde? Idk I just play video games
Wasn't this basically how the mutiplayer mode in Gears of war judgement worked? I think it was called over run or something.
@@MarkRobbz Yes, you are correct
Hopefully the planted frags go off on time and not on a delayed time like back in the day also the digger
FOR THE HORDE!
But apart from that, news like this is actually giving me hope for gears of war! Im a huge gears of war fan and positive and good stuff like this. This makes me wanna pre-order the game when it comes out!
Thank you, Abz, for keeping us updated! And keep up the good work!
Thank you for the support my friend, really glad I can share the passion with people like you! Love this community!
Hopefully it'll have horde, beast, overrun, and survival modes
it better still have a Horde mode...Gears is the game that made that mode a classic and incredible
Definitely will be interesting to see if the gameplay shifts some to better represent the CoGs inexperience against immense soldiers. Being ragdolled around by drones would be crazy. 😅
I feel like the new locust boss might be Ketor Vrol but who else could they use? Unless they wanna introduce a new high commanding locust that we’ve never seen in comics or heard of in books.
Vurl Jermad aswell
Maybe it'll show former U.I.R. vs. the Locust Horde.
I hope we get the old retro lancer from Gears 3 again. It was inaccurate but that thing was a beast. Loved it in the campaign. Loved the hammerburst in that game too
NICOLE SAID EVERYTHING! THIS IS THE DNA OF THE FRANCHISE, THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT PERFECT
Nice I played every single multiplayer gears. I loved all the gears
Nice video as always keep up the good work man and You know I’d love a game about the pendulum wars and to play from both prospectives of the Cog and Uir
Thank you! & yeah we need some pendulum wars stuff in the future for sure
Doom The Dark Ages and Gears of War E-Day were the best showcases at X Box preview of summer game fest
Oh idk, I'd say we had some good horror in gears 3. Especially with the people turning lambent in mercy
Maybe we will get to witness the first time marcus crosses paths with tai
I’m predicting the return of the gears judgment rager enemies, MY EARS CANT WAIT
