Would say overall pretty good video overall. Can give some information out from having an untouched version of the Xbox Underground's Jan 24th 2011 engine leak. 9:10 There actually a ton of pretty cool unused weapons from both concept and actual in-game implementation across the franchise. Like the Ripper/Buzzsaw was a saw that would bounce off different surfaces and fired in similar way to Torque Bow and Unreal Tournament's Ripper. The Stim Pistol was also an early phase idea for Gears Judgment's Stim Grenades that existed during Gears 3's development. 33:00 The Master Boomer did have a proof of concept map, though this was pretty much a visual-based scripting set. Which did have the Butcher walk around with wretches jumping off of it's back. There also does contain an non-rigged model of the Boomer itself, along with unused voice lines for whenever a wretch jumped on a COG character's head. 53:22 From what I remember in the builds from around E3 2010 there were other cut enemies. Like just standard Locust Drones, Shriekers, and Grinder. Then later on they added the Reaver during late 2010 to early 2011, which was eventually scrapped. 56:50 From what I was told privately this demo was created originally as a proof of concept inside of Gears Judgment's build of the version. As in the video there is proof as well you can see a mouse cursor throughout what was leaked. (Btw you can use JW Player to watch different archived pages from the WayBack Machine) There also was a different variation made for Gears 3 early on, but it only ever was used to test AI characters to interact with the environment and move using the mouse. web.archive.org/web/20140916041956/th-cam.com/video/RP_EwrazbF4/w-d-xo.html 58:00 Yeah, the original earliest lineup from super early RAAM's Shadow map scripting was Barrick, Harper, Tai and Valera. However there voice lines that were repurposed as to when Kim was added in as a playable character. The original location was also supposed to be in Tollen instead of Illima. Along with maps made heavily focused on an older man (likely later Dr. Wisen) and Jace going around saving kids during the day and night time. There were also another couple of super early concepts for DLC campaigns as well mainly Marcus trying to hold off Tollen road, rescuing Anya inside a bank vault, and lastly him disobeying orders to save his father. As for Carmine I do have a theory that he's likely placed there due to the fact that Epic were likely working on Recruit Carmine's model at the time, so it looked pretty cool as a marketing idea.
I shit you not, the entire reason I got into Gears of War was because of the Carmine family, watching Carmine lore videos, Carmine voice lines in Multiplayer, needles to say I yearn for a Gears game with a helmeted cog that isnt a throw away joke character
You'd think that content creators would pick up on the popularity of characters like the Carmines, the soldier's soldiers and regular guys given a gun to do their part. It's empowering. The Imperial Guard are popular in 40k for a reason. Plus he has a helmet, safety first.
Hello! Thanks so much for the shout out, I was happy to help out with some of the entries as I'm a MASSIVE gears fan as well. Excellent work man as is come to be expected from this channel. 10/10!
19:57 Oh my god I thought I was the only one who remembered that movie. I've talked to other people about sad Christmas movie's but no one else remembers Jack Frost. Wasn't expecting to see someone mention it on an almost two hour long Gears of War video of all places.
27:59 Absolute tragedy, I remember asking friends a bunch of times if they wanted to do shadow of Raam specifically so I coulf play as the Theron Elite with the Elite Sawed off, the kill animation where you impale them in the air then shoot them in half was awesome. I also exclusively used Theron Elite as my multiplayer skin as soon as I had it.
1:40:43 Kantus are native to the Hollow, they ARE NOT Locust created by humans, they were in hollow when Myra and the Locust arrived. Myra's arrival was part of a Kantus Prophesy.
1:39:31 My theory about the lambent and why the Kantus aren't effected by it is because the Immultion is a kind of "halo flood" situation where it is the dominant species and possesses a type of hive-mind. it can control itself and make decisions like a fungi. it can *choose* who to infect... i like to think that the the detail of inhaling the fumes has a sort of effect similar to taking mushrooms, lmao, and gives the Kantus some sort of spiritual access. remember they can revive locust on command... fkn wild
Don't know if you'll see this, but on the Gears of War EU front I HIGHLY recommend the novels 'Jacinto's Remnant', 'Anvil Gate' and 'Coalition's End'. They chronicle the events between Gears 2 and Gears 3, like the disbanding of the COG and the beginning of the Lambent Pandemic. I also recommend the novel 'The Slab' which goes into detail on Marcus' trial, imprisonment and time in... the Slab prior to Gears 1.
Griffin 100% didn’t want the smoke off Marcus. Dom mentions in Aspho Fields that he’s never seen Marcus lose it with anyone, not even Baird, who would wind Marcus up all the time. The only time he ever lost it was when Griffin pushed him too far in Char. They saw each other at a function in Ephyra Rising, but likely wisely chose to ignore each other. Haha
Late to this video, but im surprised you haven't mentioned the long history of chainsaw jamming in Gears 2. If you chainsaw jam you can break out the map in multi-player as well as kill players from across the map. The game absolutely freaks out, you can even fight the NPCs in the background scenes during campaign. There's not alot of documentation of this glitch, every videos are almost 12-14 years old and aren't 100% accurate and missing alot of minor things. I've been wanting to make my own videos to showcase the wierd spots you can get to in the campaign, however I would need to buy an old Xbox 360 to do so
Carmines for my case was the voice and the standard gear helmet. Adds some mystery to his face which was all the rave back in the day, example being master chief
"Rojo" is male, "roja" is female. Both mean red. In english there's no gender distinction in nouns and adjectives, but in latin derived linguages, every single noun and adjective has a gender. General rule: if it ends with an "o" It's male, "a" It's female
new gears announced today come back in couple years and tell me how the games been doing I’m super hyped rn I just have a feeling it’s gonna be great 😅!
This might've been mentioned but I forgot or didn't see it. But in the game Demon Soul's, you can find a Gears Lancer in the game files. You can even spawn the model in. It's not functioning as far as I'm aware. But it's crazy to think that an Xbox exclusive IP exist in a Sony exclusive IP. It's likely this is cause the company FromSoftware was making an Xbox 360 exclusive game called Ninja Blade at the time. They were hoping that that would be the big game the company needed. So when Sony wanted an exclusive fantasy game that they weren't all that interested in making, they relegated it to some low level employee. That employee went on to direct and make Demon Souls and eventually become CEO of the entire company. So it's likely that the company had a dev kit for the 360, and some of the files got moved around and somehow put into Demon Souls. The files just happening to have Xbox IP assets in them.
5:00 for some reason, I crack up everytime I play Judgment and listen to Marcus delivering that line 😂😂 I don't know why, I think it's because Marcus says it with a bit of irony and a lot of anger as Marcus is always angry about anything 😂😂
30:26 just like random extra info on this, you can't actually buy them anymore they removed all of the crossover characters from the store after the last gears of war 5 update, so this made them even more rare to see in matches. (i think the only way to get them now is trough keys from external webistes) And also you forgot to mention that in Gears of War 4 there were El-P and Killer Mike from Run The Jewels as multiplayer characters
46:50 I'm confused as to why anyone would be mad at YOU for mentioning that America/American servicemen and contractors free torture people and when the same was done to a fictional character, it broke him in a matter of hours....don't get mad at the messanger, be mad at the abuser.
Also at 1:21:09 lil side note for ya mate "A real gun" is also in reference to Disney's; Pixar's "Toy story" as it shares an oddly amount of the same color palette of Buzz Lightyear.
There's a better reason for why Sera is a colony world: They still have baseline human proportions. If they lived on Mars for long enough to forget they're from Earth, there would be large differences in how they wind up looking.
2023 update Netflix is now going to release a live action gears of war game and the head of Netflix. Also tried in the past to create a gears of war game when he worked for bluegrass. So let's see if this one actually pans out 🤞
Interviewer: but what about the promotional pictures of clayton Guy: oh uh wrll i guess we were in talks about it at some point aka i have no fucking idea what this dude is talking about
You forgot something. Gears of War 3 Project Azura, a modified PC port of GoW3. Check my channel for gameplay, and video discription to download it and how to get it running.
Idk if I would’ve included that in the video but those unreleased maps you uploaded videos of I 100% would’ve included. It’s so hard finding cut Gears weapons/maps
I feel like a marcus fenix collection won't be released at all or won't be released anytime soom cause they will attract all players and will leave gears 6 in the dust
The pendulum wars hadn't only 6 weeks of peace afterwards. While the novels say 6months the games even speak of two years, though i'd rather go with the books cause the games are inconsistent even within their own continuity n the scene stating that belongs to the later story of 4 n 5 which appeared to have made another mistake on purpose when suddenly a flashback shows fenix freed from the slab by anya instead of dom.A detail that stinks of pleasing those who give esg scorings, just as these two stories overall did. While the 2years seem more like an oversight it still doesn't really speaks for having even tried to stay in line n rather going for as much seperation as they could get away with.
For the language and accent part at 1:28:57 , the COG was based in Tyrus and the people are said to speak in Tyran which could be a totally different sounding language than English. So I just think they all speak English just so we can follow the story line and narrative since it would be a LOT of work to create an entire new language. Same could be said for Gorasni(Republic of Gorasnaya), but Gorasni is more akin to sounding like a Slavic language.
Dom's beard was indeed a meme in the old fandom! Specifically because of the double meaning of "Beard", the plot with his wife, and his relationship with Marcus. The joke was that Dom grew a new beard because he had to get rid of his old one.
@@hellinterface6721 No, beard. Baird is Cole's bitchy bottom, not Marcus's. "Beard" is a 20th century slang term for the wife/husband of a gay man/woman in a sham heterosexual relationship. Sometimes the spouse was deceived, but other times the spouse was in on the plan and is the best friend of the person they married, simply playing the role of hetero partner in order to provide cover for their friend. Those were especially common in friendships between a lesbian and a gay man. The joke was that Dom's wife was his beard, the best friend acting as his pretend hetero partner, to hide the gay relationship between him and Marcus. His beard was to replace his beard.
gears of war is really big in latin america, especially mexico. when the X360 launched in mexico (about 3 months after the US launch), the console was bundled with the first gears of war, which made it very popular around here; at least that's how i first played it when my best friend got the X360 as a birthday gift. as far as i know, the biggest gears lore YT channel is a mexican guy.
Huh. That would make Gears of War weirdly similar to King of Fighters in that they're both franchises that for some reason they're more popular in Latin America then the rest of the world.
Lmao since I lived near the Mexican border I’d get matched in lobbies full of Mexicans who’d talk the maddest shit and would send essays in Spanish to you if ya shit on them good times
I first played gears 1 in 2011 in the spanish dub version and godamn that dub is high quality. Even rivals the og english dub in my opinion. I also played gears 3 in french since I bought and played it in Quebec and as much as I love french, any bilingual french spaker will tell you that french dubs (movies and games) arent usually very good.
One of my greatest personal experiences with gears of war is playing through gears of war one's campaign on insane which was hard as balls! Me and my friend had just gotten to the part where the Theron guards show up and kept getting our asses royally handed to us over and over again growing more and more frustrated and especially has time was limited. Then on our final attempt I took cover, and got stuck! On what we dubbed as the rock of doom or possibly the boulder of doom and at that point we both burst out laughing in hysterics with me laughing so hard tears and snot were rolling down my face. At that point we just got off and finished it another time but damn I don't think I ever laughed that hard at anything in games especially out of sheer frustration and just how fucked up the timing of that glitch was like a sick joke and troll sent from the universe. Also 3 was the best one in terms of story weapons and gameplay modes
I voted for Carmine to perish, as to keep-up the grim dark aesthetic of the franchise. Anthony dies in the 1st act of the first game, Ben died in the 2nd act of the second game and Carmine "should" have died in the third act of the 3rd game... Alas, I did not succeed =(
3:01 can confirm, Ben is best boi. Also, an extra bit of info that I was surprised wasn't on the iceberg: In Wasteland 3, near the Southeastern area of the map, you can find a case marked with the name "Fenix." Inside is a Gears lancer which you can actually use. Though the chainsaw doesn't work, it fires explosive rounds with 99 armor penetration which basically negates any enemy's armor.
Thanks for making this, the gears community needed a good iceberg for this franchise, I learned a lot. Fun fact: since the games take place on Sera, there’s no England 🎉 , the protagonists are from the country named Tyrus, so they speak Tyran, the equivalent of the English language
The death row laugh is a call back to a gears one scene. When the boomers are introduced, they step on a rat, (they dont laugh they just grunt). But i believe Thats why the rat runs out, and why you can step on it. Its a boomers laugh.
On the Resistance subject, both Gears and Resistance shared a fair amount of similarities. For example: both games take place after major conflicts (WW1 for Resistance and the Pendulum Wars for Gears) both feature antagonist that have reptilian aesthetics, etc.
Your videos have made me realise that surprisingly a lot of shooters have a lot of Easter eggs, Cod, Gears, Battlefield, Halo. It's an interesting observation
i will point out, the lancer is a rifle, and the boltok is a pistol, however high-caliber it is. i figure the boltok is gonna be chambered in something akin to either .50 AE or .500 win mag. the lancer, given it's sheer size, is probably chambered in something like 7.62 NATO. So, if Dom put her out of her misery with a boltok and left a sizeable exit wound in the back of her head, the lancer would probably saw her head in two
Something I found atleast on the wiki says that the snub was .50 cal. So the boltock would probably be bigger and would definitely pop the entire head, so imagine how the lancer would do as it does appear as if it would have a higher caliber
The lancer clearly doesn't have a higher caliber than the Boltok. You say that the lancer is much larger than the Boltok, so it must have a higher caliber, but it doesn't have a large barrel. Much of the size of the lancer is taken up by the assembly for the chainsaw, bayonet and the grenade launcher. Also the Boltok takes far less bullets to kill enemies. Which would suggest it has a much larger caliber.
Ironically enough, people bought that rev 9 skin for the simple fact that before the update on the skin he was so damn skinny he was not able to be seen on screen, he doesn't do emotes so he doesn't get affected by gunshots so the only thing you can hear is the clanking noises when he walks, and a lot of sweat players use that skin in multiplayer just so it was easy level up, and on top of that you can sit in a dark corner and people will run right past you. Literally the most hated skin in the game for the longest time 😆
I’ve been hyped for this video I was really looking forward to it. Thanks so much for making these, I can’t imagine how much info you have to organize. Thanks man!
I have so many good memories of horde mode on Gears 2 split screen. I never understood a lick of the story but the chainsaw execution did activate something primal in my middle school brain.
i always loved gears but its not popular enough to see people making videos on it so im glad you made this video and put al the effort in like that.subscribed
I really want a MCC type Collection of Gears game to release on PC, because my friend who loves gears didn't have an Xbox growing up and never was able to play the og gears, and was only able to play the first one when the Ultimate Edition came out on PC, I kinda wish we could both just play the whole series on PC one day.
I’ve never had an interest in this franchise, but it was an extremely fun watch. Also; love the stuff relating to Resistance at the end. That series is pretty fond in my mind, and any mention of it is pretty great in my eyes.
I recently started playing gears to see what all the fuzz was about. As of recently i have finished the story modes of Gear 1 & 2 and currently im on act 2 in gears 3. i have not played any of the multiplayer modes but it has been fun up until now. And the games look great on my 360 collection. So this iceberg has been interesting and very insightful into both the fandom and franchise. thank you for making this.
1:48:08 factss! The gears of war franchise is huge and the games are fun but the community is dead. I mean in recent years have been doing horribly, especially gears 4 and 5. Fans were not satisfied with the story or the content the game had to offer, every aspect of the games started to become fake and pay-to-win and that's what I think turned fans off. The gears community is also very toxic, instead of giving feedback to the developers about what they didn't like they'll cry, shout and throw insults at them until the game is changed and even then will complain about the smallest things. There are is a small community of gears TH-camrs here and there that are active like barricade2091, sasxshadowz and Abz who make gears of war lore videos and latest gears news videos. Today, Gears of war on TH-cam is mostly dominated by eSports gamers.
I've been a pretty hardcore Gears fan since 2009, and I personally think that quality wise Gears recently has been the best it's ever been. Gears 4, Gears 5 and Gears: Tactics are my second, most and third favourite Gears games respectively.
In terms of the kantus being “immune” to imulsion, I see it as them slightly poisoning themselves consistently. There is actually a historical precedent. I don’t quite remember which king/noble, or where he was from, but he had a lot of fear for his personal safety, so for every meal he had the cook put in minuscule amounts of poison think he would build an immunity to poison (which is impossible, but regardless). Later on in said persons life his fears were justified when during a meal the entirety of his family died due to being poisoned. Everyone but him that is. The reason he survived was because there was already plenty of poison in his system so the sudden ingestion of poison was non lethal. It’s the equivalent of fighting poison with poison. So not immune, just already poisoned so nothing really changed
As huge gears fan myself,i did find odd that aren’t lot of dedicated channels to gears.I’m thinking starting one myself,it’s so wired.Gears is huge and has loyal and dedicated fanbase but fact is aren’t a lot of people talking about it is criminal.My guess to why is not talk about as halo is it’s just wasn’t every xbox player cup of tea,which fine.I’m huge halo as well but still there’s a countless waves of halo and mainstream channels not that’s bad or anything,I love them and people behind them.Still I wish gears got more love.That’s just my two cents.
Yooo best early birthday gift I can receive. Been hyped asf for this iceberg Catch 22 about seeing an iceberg about your favorite series is that you know most of the entries. But I realized that most entries I didn’t know where cut content. I didn’t know about the cut gears 3 chapter dlcs nor the rocket launchers, the construction boomer , the fire starter origins cut lines, the original characters for raams shadow or how Alicia was originally an onyx guard. I’ll add in another cut content that wasn’t in this iceberg but another gears iceberg I saw. Palace guards in gears 2 where suppose to have giant swords like cleavers. This me realized how poor cut content in gears of war is archived. An interesting note is that supposedly there’s still undiscovered secrets in gears 3 and in gears 4 multiplayer. There’s also rumors that the slab Easter egg is still unsolved. But nonetheless, love the iceberg and video 🔥🔥
57:50 This would’ve been soooo much better😭😭 i’ve been wanting harper in a gears game forever… I don’t know why people like mihn imo i think he’s mid. also ik people like tai but clayton is the goat and it could’ve gave us recruit clay as i presume this was when he first joined.
I also think it’s pretty lame that Alex brand was cut for sam.. sams kinda boring ish and brands badass nature would’ve been a perfect fit for gears 3… missed opportunity. also the fact that she hasn’t been in any games except judgments mp is also lame asf.

Didn't help the first guy tho
Gears is one of my favorite game series, thanks for finally making an iceberg on it!
I love how the only carmine to survive, Clayton, is insanely jacked, even compared to the other characters, like mans just a total badass
Had to beef his plot armor up so he can't die. Lmao unlike the rest of his family he got lucky from the fans.
if in doubt, work out
Agreed he is badass
Also has a much better helmet than his brother apparently

After losing my job, your iceberg makes it just a bit better.
I've noticed that as well there's like no updates for Gears 5 anymore there's barely any servers up and it's quite frankly depressing
Marcus going off about his tomatoes was the only enjoyable thing in the “Gears” games
Always a better day when Pigpen uploads
Just playing this game for the first time. Remember watching my dad play it when it first came out, but never got my hands on it. Enjoying it so far

Also at 1:21:09 lil side note for ya mate "A real gun" is also in reference to Disney's; Pixar's "Toy story" as it shares an oddly amount of the same color palette of Buzz Lightyear.
BBL DRIZZY WAS GOING TO VOICE JACE????
Your vids are awesome man!
There's a better reason for why Sera is a colony world: They still have baseline human proportions. If they lived on Mars for long enough to forget they're from Earth, there would be large differences in how they wind up looking.
17:26
why did marcus suddenly start shit talking baird when he did nothing to doms tomatos?
the lambent chicken from gears 3 is the most memorable easter egg to me.
Lonnngg have i waited *evil palp laugh*
Hey man can you do The Incredibles Iceberg?
So fucking true
Been a fan of gears since 2006 basically when it came out lol
Kingabz has an excellent gears lore channel
2023 update Netflix is now going to release a live action gears of war game and the head of Netflix. Also tried in the past to create a gears of war game when he worked for bluegrass. So let's see if this one actually pans out 🤞
Gears Pop was alright. Played it for like 2 weeks and never touched it again.
YUUHHH A GEARS ICEBERG
It is abit strange how popular gears used to be since gears 3 it's just kinda faded
Ayeeeee let’s gooooo
I know I already said this in your UFO sighting but can you do a rayman iceberg
Interviewer: but what about the promotional pictures of clayton
Guy: oh uh wrll i guess we were in talks about it at some point aka i have no fucking idea what this dude is talking about
You forgot something. Gears of War 3 Project Azura, a modified PC port of GoW3. Check my channel for gameplay, and video discription to download it and how to get it running.
Idk if I would’ve included that in the video but those unreleased maps you uploaded videos of I 100% would’ve included. It’s so hard finding cut Gears weapons/maps
I feel like a marcus fenix collection won't be released at all or won't be released anytime soom cause they will attract all players and will leave gears 6 in the dust
You forgot the gears 4 Run the Jewels skin pack.
Hopefully they give gears of war gets a halo wars/company of heros type game, i think that would make an awesome game!!
The pendulum wars hadn't only 6 weeks of peace afterwards. While the novels say 6months the games even speak of two years, though i'd rather go with the books cause the games are inconsistent even within their own continuity n the scene stating that belongs to the later story of 4 n 5 which appeared to have made another mistake on purpose when suddenly a flashback shows fenix freed from the slab by anya instead of dom.A detail that stinks of pleasing those who give esg scorings, just as these two stories overall did.
While the 2years seem more like an oversight it still doesn't really speaks for having even tried to stay in line n rather going for as much seperation as they could get away with.
I love my Dave Bautista skin 🥰
clayton an benjamin are the best ones
I have a potential sponsorship offer for you - couldn't find your email anywhere. Is there a way to contact you to talk about it? Cheers, Ridvan
For the language and accent part at 1:28:57 , the COG was based in Tyrus and the people are said to speak in Tyran which could be a totally different sounding language than English. So I just think they all speak English just so we can follow the story line and narrative since it would be a LOT of work to create an entire new language. Same could be said for Gorasni(Republic of Gorasnaya), but Gorasni is more akin to sounding like a Slavic language.
Marcus complaining about a lack of home depot around will forever hold a plaxe in my heart
Dom's beard was indeed a meme in the old fandom! Specifically because of the double meaning of "Beard", the plot with his wife, and his relationship with Marcus. The joke was that Dom grew a new beard because he had to get rid of his old one.
Got to be one of the funniest easter eggs I've seen.
You mean Baird?
tiktok iceberg trends aside. I lost interest when OP started talking about gow5 during the first quarter of the video.
@@hellinterface6721 it's an iceberg video, you should know that if it's about a franchise then all games will be talked about.
@@hellinterface6721 No, beard. Baird is Cole's bitchy bottom, not Marcus's. "Beard" is a 20th century slang term for the wife/husband of a gay man/woman in a sham heterosexual relationship. Sometimes the spouse was deceived, but other times the spouse was in on the plan and is the best friend of the person they married, simply playing the role of hetero partner in order to provide cover for their friend. Those were especially common in friendships between a lesbian and a gay man. The joke was that Dom's wife was his beard, the best friend acting as his pretend hetero partner, to hide the gay relationship between him and Marcus. His beard was to replace his beard.
@@hellinterface6721 no he meant dom cause his wife died, and it was the first layer of the iceberg child no shit that's at the top
gears of war is really big in latin america, especially mexico.
when the X360 launched in mexico (about 3 months after the US launch), the console was bundled with the first gears of war, which made it very popular around here; at least that's how i first played it when my best friend got the X360 as a birthday gift.
as far as i know, the biggest gears lore YT channel is a mexican guy.
Huh. That would make Gears of War weirdly similar to King of Fighters in that they're both franchises that for some reason they're more popular in Latin America then the rest of the world.
Lmao since I lived near the Mexican border I’d get matched in lobbies full of Mexicans who’d talk the maddest shit and would send essays in Spanish to you if ya shit on them good times
my original xbox one also came with gears ultimate
I first played gears 1 in 2011 in the spanish dub version and godamn that dub is high quality. Even rivals the og english dub in my opinion. I also played gears 3 in french since I bought and played it in Quebec and as much as I love french, any bilingual french spaker will tell you that french dubs (movies and games) arent usually very good.
Are you taking about King Abz?
As a fan of this franchise I really appreciate this video and I thank you for making this video and I can't wait to see more icebergs
One of my greatest personal experiences with gears of war is playing through gears of war one's campaign on insane which was hard as balls! Me and my friend had just gotten to the part where the Theron guards show up and kept getting our asses royally handed to us over and over again growing more and more frustrated and especially has time was limited.
Then on our final attempt I took cover, and got stuck! On what we dubbed as the rock of doom or possibly the boulder of doom and at that point we both burst out laughing in hysterics with me laughing so hard tears and snot were rolling down my face. At that point we just got off and finished it another time but damn I don't think I ever laughed that hard at anything in games especially out of sheer frustration and just how fucked up the timing of that glitch was like a sick joke and troll sent from the universe.
Also 3 was the best one in terms of story weapons and gameplay modes
Honestly, Clayton is my favorite Carmine. Idk why I just love his look and dialogue. Each brother has pretty good lines tho
I like the innocence of Benjamin, his death hit me hard way back
I voted for Carmine to perish, as to keep-up the grim dark aesthetic of the franchise. Anthony dies in the 1st act of the first game, Ben died in the 2nd act of the second game and Carmine "should" have died in the third act of the 3rd game... Alas, I did not succeed =(
3:01 can confirm, Ben is best boi.
Also, an extra bit of info that I was surprised wasn't on the iceberg: In Wasteland 3, near the Southeastern area of the map, you can find a case marked with the name "Fenix." Inside is a Gears lancer which you can actually use. Though the chainsaw doesn't work, it fires explosive rounds with 99 armor penetration which basically negates any enemy's armor.
Yo really?
If this is true I'll replay the whole game
Thanks for making this, the gears community needed a good iceberg for this franchise, I learned a lot.
Fun fact: since the games take place on Sera, there’s no England 🎉 , the protagonists are from the country named Tyrus, so they speak Tyran, the equivalent of the English language
I think OP might be underage and has never played GoW.
@@hellinterface6721 lol you keep posting this while clearly not having any knowledge of the games, you're a retarded child
I always assumed that the game took place in an uncountable amount of time in the future and that Sera was a colony planet.
I’m just glad that DRAKE DID NOT DO ANY JACE LINES
I love that doms toms was just John having fun and riffing for a laugh and they loved it so much they put it in an easter egg.
The death row laugh is a call back to a gears one scene. When the boomers are introduced, they step on a rat, (they dont laugh they just grunt). But i believe Thats why the rat runs out, and why you can step on it. Its a boomers laugh.
@@Asaucytaco11 that's really interesting. Also gears ultimate's rat getting smushed is so much more bloodier than gears 1
On the Resistance subject, both Gears and Resistance shared a fair amount of similarities. For example: both games take place after major conflicts (WW1 for Resistance and the Pendulum Wars for Gears) both feature antagonist that have reptilian aesthetics, etc.
Your videos have made me realise that surprisingly a lot of shooters have a lot of Easter eggs, Cod, Gears, Battlefield, Halo. It's an interesting observation
i will point out, the lancer is a rifle, and the boltok is a pistol, however high-caliber it is. i figure the boltok is gonna be chambered in something akin to either .50 AE or .500 win mag. the lancer, given it's sheer size, is probably chambered in something like 7.62 NATO. So, if Dom put her out of her misery with a boltok and left a sizeable exit wound in the back of her head, the lancer would probably saw her head in two
Something I found atleast on the wiki says that the snub was .50 cal. So the boltock would probably be bigger and would definitely pop the entire head, so imagine how the lancer would do as it does appear as if it would have a higher caliber
@@a_game_nub6884 So characters heads popping is actually canon lol
That’s pretty cool man, i love it when they do that.
The lancer clearly doesn't have a higher caliber than the Boltok. You say that the lancer is much larger than the Boltok, so it must have a higher caliber, but it doesn't have a large barrel. Much of the size of the lancer is taken up by the assembly for the chainsaw, bayonet and the grenade launcher.
Also the Boltok takes far less bullets to kill enemies. Which would suggest it has a much larger caliber.
7,62 NATO? There is such a thing?
@@steelbear2063yes, 7.62*51mm to be exact, I think in imperial it was cal .308
Ironically enough, people bought that rev 9 skin for the simple fact that before the update on the skin he was so damn skinny he was not able to be seen on screen, he doesn't do emotes so he doesn't get affected by gunshots so the only thing you can hear is the clanking noises when he walks, and a lot of sweat players use that skin in multiplayer just so it was easy level up, and on top of that you can sit in a dark corner and people will run right past you.
Literally the most hated skin in the game for the longest time 😆
I’ve been hyped for this video I was really looking forward to it. Thanks so much for making these, I can’t imagine how much info you have to organize. Thanks man!
We are getting gears of war E day baby
The Cole Train runs on whole grain baby! Whooo!
I have so many good memories of horde mode on Gears 2 split screen. I never understood a lick of the story but the chainsaw execution did activate something primal in my middle school brain.
i always loved gears but its not popular enough to see people making videos on it so im glad you made this video and put al the effort in like that.subscribed
Yeah, that's weird for some reason
I've been playing Gears for years and I'm surprised that there was a lot of things and easter eggs I never even knew about
I really want a MCC type Collection of Gears game to release on PC, because my friend who loves gears didn't have an Xbox growing up and never was able to play the og gears, and was only able to play the first one when the Ultimate Edition came out on PC, I kinda wish we could both just play the whole series on PC one day.
Fortnites character roster starting to sound like a new "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny"
Thought the same exact thing as he was listing them off lmao
I’ve never had an interest in this franchise, but it was an extremely fun watch. Also; love the stuff relating to Resistance at the end. That series is pretty fond in my mind, and any mention of it is pretty great in my eyes.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO😢
Not sure what it is about Ben Carmine but he's my favorite of the carmines and I use him whenever I play horde or multi-player
I recently started playing gears to see what all the fuzz was about. As of recently i have finished the story modes of Gear 1 & 2 and currently im on act 2 in gears 3. i have not played any of the multiplayer modes but it has been fun up until now. And the games look great on my 360 collection. So this iceberg has been interesting and very insightful into both the fandom and franchise. thank you for making this.
1:48:08 factss! The gears of war franchise is huge and the games are fun but the community is dead. I mean in recent years have been doing horribly, especially gears 4 and 5. Fans were not satisfied with the story or the content the game had to offer, every aspect of the games started to become fake and pay-to-win and that's what I think turned fans off.
The gears community is also very toxic, instead of giving feedback to the developers about what they didn't like they'll cry, shout and throw insults at them until the game is changed and even then will complain about the smallest things.
There are is a small community of gears TH-camrs here and there that are active like barricade2091, sasxshadowz and Abz who make gears of war lore videos and latest gears news videos. Today, Gears of war on TH-cam is mostly dominated by eSports gamers.
The toxic part is because the Devs decided they didn't want to listen and made the story of 4 and 5.
I've been a pretty hardcore Gears fan since 2009, and I personally think that quality wise Gears recently has been the best it's ever been. Gears 4, Gears 5 and Gears: Tactics are my second, most and third favourite Gears games respectively.
I CANT BELIVE YOU MENTIONED MISTBORN!! Everybody needs to read it Brandon Sanderson is a genius!!
In terms of the kantus being “immune” to imulsion, I see it as them slightly poisoning themselves consistently. There is actually a historical precedent. I don’t quite remember which king/noble, or where he was from, but he had a lot of fear for his personal safety, so for every meal he had the cook put in minuscule amounts of poison think he would build an immunity to poison (which is impossible, but regardless). Later on in said persons life his fears were justified when during a meal the entirety of his family died due to being poisoned. Everyone but him that is. The reason he survived was because there was already plenty of poison in his system so the sudden ingestion of poison was non lethal. It’s the equivalent of fighting poison with poison. So not immune, just already poisoned so nothing really changed
As huge gears fan myself,i did find odd that aren’t lot of dedicated channels to gears.I’m thinking starting one myself,it’s so wired.Gears is huge and has loyal and dedicated fanbase but fact is aren’t a lot of people talking about it is criminal.My guess to why is not talk about as halo is it’s just wasn’t every xbox player cup of tea,which fine.I’m huge halo as well but still there’s a countless waves of halo and mainstream channels not that’s bad or anything,I love them and people behind them.Still I wish gears got more love.That’s just my two cents.
In spanish colors can be used for him=rojo or she=roja Rojas its just a plural that happens to be a lastname
Yooo best early birthday gift I can receive. Been hyped asf for this iceberg
Catch 22 about seeing an iceberg about your favorite series is that you know most of the entries. But I realized that most entries I didn’t know where cut content.
I didn’t know about the cut gears 3 chapter dlcs nor the rocket launchers, the construction boomer , the fire starter origins cut lines, the original characters for raams shadow or how Alicia was originally an onyx guard.
I’ll add in another cut content that wasn’t in this iceberg but another gears iceberg I saw. Palace guards in gears 2 where suppose to have giant swords like cleavers.
This me realized how poor cut content in gears of war is archived.
An interesting note is that supposedly there’s still undiscovered secrets in gears 3 and in gears 4 multiplayer. There’s also rumors that the slab Easter egg is still unsolved.
But nonetheless, love the iceberg and video 🔥🔥
57:50 This would’ve been soooo much better😭😭 i’ve been wanting harper in a gears game forever… I don’t know why people like mihn imo i think he’s mid. also ik people like tai but clayton is the goat and it could’ve gave us recruit clay as i presume this was when he first joined.
I also think it’s pretty lame that Alex brand was cut for sam.. sams kinda boring ish and brands badass nature would’ve been a perfect fit for gears 3… missed opportunity. also the fact that she hasn’t been in any games except judgments mp is also lame asf.
It’s funny how people talk about no lambent kantus but what about the fact of no lambent corpsers lol
Or just wretches in 5
