[QUOTE=pyschomc;50109829]Speaking of gears I'm still mind boggled that [sp]The Locust were products of human test subjects, and the queen was a descendant of the scientists that did those tests [/sp][/QUOTE] Yeah, took me a while to wrap my head around that too. There's a sort of discrepancy there, right? Since the original tests took place like a hundred years ago, that means the Locust would have had 100~ years to produce a population large enough to attack nearly every major human city on Sera, as well as develop their weapons technologies and construct their citadel thingy.
[QUOTE=Keychain;50109627]That is such a godly cover.[/QUOTE] People talk about it like its the best cover of any song, but I disagree. It doesn't sound bad, but it still kind of pales to the original version.
[QUOTE=pointyface;50109584]What a shitty planet they live on. I haven't played past the first game but they've had to deal with locust, lambent, and now these fuckers. Even their molemen's molemen have molemen[/QUOTE] Don't forget hail that's razer sharp and will slice you apart if you're in the open, GIANT FUCKING WORMS, creatures that'll tear you apart no matter what you do. Sera is Australia in planet form.

A sequel seems really weird to me, the ending of 3 didn't really leave it open to anything. It isn't a game that I wanted but I'll check it out if its good.

The war cost both sides a tremendous amount of manpower and resources. If I remember from reading (and maybe the books have nothing to do with it, but fuck what you all think) the locust attacked not to long after they started the peace treaty. The main reason they were even able to with stand the onslaught of the locusts was because of the years of war, they were hardened. Stranded are the ones that adapted the best though. They lived amongst the wreckage of their society, and adapted to it. In one of the books a Stranded that was recruited to drive those big rigs Dizzy drives, tells Cole after rescuing him and his squad that the stranded are basically the new way, that when the COG is no longer, they will still be there, surviving.
[QUOTE=minilandstan;50109604]They're embracing the fact that Marcus is literally muscle incarnate, he's lifting trees like it's nothing. I love it.[/QUOTE] not only that, but his son just fucking shoulder checked a burning tree at 00:25 could've just moved around it, but i guess that isn't the Fenix way of doing things
I thought the trailer was a bit.. Don't know, chaotic? Certainly doesn't have the same quality as the previous 3 trailers
This games gonna be fun.
Also you can consider this being somewhat the last Gears game that Epic's original Gears team worked on, Epic worked for 6 months on this concept and its new engine before sending it all to Black Tusk Studios, Black Tusk kept Epic's ideas in the game with several changes here and there. Epic used a modified UE4 for this game which was especially optimized for PC and mobile gaming, making it look like that Epic wanted to release the game on PC as well.
[QUOTE=darth-veger;50110468]I thought the trailer was a bit.. Don't know, chaotic? Certainly doesn't have the same quality as the previous 3 trailers[/QUOTE] It's the flashbacks. They should have focused on the present(dude getting chased by monsters in a burning forest). They could have used this opportunity to mimic the "Mad World" trailer as a throwback to the first game and his father.
[QUOTE=Jmir 54;50109340]A prequel maybe? It seems like the last Gears of War took place in a world were their society broke down and was kind of post-apocalyptic in nature.[/QUOTE] This serious [editline]11th April 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;50109516]this is probably the reason it resonates, because people who were in middle/highschool when Gears 1 came out [I][B]10 years ago[/B][/I] have memories from what is essentially childhood associated with it.[/QUOTE] I remember it was the first rated M game I'd ever played, the body that hangs when you open the door at the tutorial section of the game scared the shit out of me, my dad thought it was funny I was eight years old :v:
[QUOTE=usaokay;50110474]I consider this a semi-reboot kinda like The Force Awakens.[/QUOTE] Yeah, this isn't necessarily a shoe-horned cash-grab. GoW 3 wrapped up [I]it's[/I] plot, but new conflicts can arise in the future, in its own world.

Judgement was alright at least. It would have been better if the missions weren't just a rehash of the same formula (go into an area, do a challenge room, build a defense, repeat) and the story wasn't entirely flashbacks made up of disconnected setpieces. [editline]12th April 2016[/editline] I'll admit, I'm bummed they're not continuing that storyline. Kilo squad was cool
