The trailer for Black Tusk Studio's new AAA project exclusively for the Xbox One.
Microsoft has denied the existence of a Gears of War remaster since speculation started to ramp up on the title. Microsoft has become the first victim of the big three to spoilers revealing their plans ahead of their E3 briefing on June 15. One surprise that fans had an inkling of was a Gears of War return to Xbox.
I wonder if Gears HD will sell as well as MCC did.
It does look great. But i am more interested in the SP part of the game. Its the main seller for me. So hopefully it looks good after the graphic upgrade. And hopefully its not Bright!
It will sell well regardless but Gears doesn't have nearly the fanbase or legacy as the Halo series. Also MCC is 4 games you can play back to back, this will just be Gears 1. Still, it will sell really well regardless especially coupled with a Gears 4 announcement.
Agreed. It won't sell bad, but historically Halo has been the better selling series and even MCC didn't do extremely huge numbers.
I see Gears HD doing numbers near what MCC did, likely less.
Better question is....why are they always talking about Gears? That IP was bought AFTER they showed their new AAA FPS IP....where the hell is that?
I want to actually see that game at E3 and hopefully its not canned and they are working on both.
I wish it were all three games. I only ever got to play the first one in it's entirety, and the other two only bits and pieces at friends houses. While I found the story of the first one rather cliche and mundane, I've been told as a trilogy it's a good story, so I'd like to play all of them to see if it's true.
between the GeOW trilogy and Halo:MCC which is in the same boat as the prior for me, it'd be worth getting a whole system for.

Gears 1 didn't have a party up feature, right? You always had to find a room with a certain amount of round wins or something like that. I just want gears 2 or 3. Actually,I wouldn't mine having all 3. Judgement isn't considered a gears game lol
Microsoft would be more willing to show the remaster if Halo TMV didnt release as broken as it did
I want the Marcus Fenix Collection,not just the first one. Gears 2 is my favorite.
Agreed as much as I loved the 1st game I'm not gonna buy it again for anything over $10. Collection for 30 or 40 would be the price I pick it up. Just a lot more bang for your buck like halo mcc.
Whatever they do lets hope it's a smooth launch and doesn't take several months to fix like halo mcc.
The development team at Black Tusk Studios is celebrating the one-year anniversary since it started to work on the Gears of War franchise with a Twitter message
"Today marks the one year anniversary of acquiring the @GearsofWar franchise - we are humbled to be delivering on such a beloved experience"
E3 is going to be spectacular Gears of War is gonna look so good in Unreal Engine 4
I hope Gears is going back to its horror vibe from Gears 1 though the other games were good too
Yeah, Gears 1 atmosphere was the best, I really also loved the gears theme that began when you encounter the locust for the first time, it was so awesome.
"Today marks the one year anniversary of acquiring the @GearsofWar franchise - we are humbled to be delivering on such a beloved experience"
It's good marketing to draw attention to the franchise and start the hype machine for the likely reveal later this year. However to say they are 'HUMBLED to be DELIVERING' is an oxymoron, two contradictory terms. There's nothing wrong with them stating "we will deliver" because it shows confidence in what they are making. But to then say humbled in the same sentence shows that the tweet went through marketing and added humble so it didn't sound arrogant. Clever, but the English language leaves little clues for a 'detective' to find!
Yeah agreed. Go back to the horror elements more and make it A LOT more serious and I will be interested.
I'd rather they kill off most of the existing cast and focus on a new one that actually has some depth to them and not being just brainless dudebros high-fiving each other when they take out some gigantic tapeworm.
@Mr Pumblechook - isn't it possible that they actually do feel humbled to get to work on this project?
I'm really excited to see what they do with Gears, and as Septic said I would love this to feel completely fresh!
@Mr Pumblechook I think in this instance your guilty of reading between the lines and making up something to have issues with.
I think you could do with looking up the meanings of "humbled", "delivering", "oxymoron" and "contradictory".
Leave the detective work for others
Gears 4 is going back to be alot darker than the others. Rod stated this mid last year and i think its the best direction for the series.but will marcus make a return?
I cant wait to see Gears running on UE4.The detail and general atmosphere of the game will be amazing. also i expect the game to be shown at E3 alongside Halo5 sp, QB, Tombraider, Scalebound and Rares upcoming ips. Phantum dust and Crackdown might show up too along other unannounced exclusives.
Gears is fantastic the way it is now.
I completely disagree with people saying they want something new, fresh, kill the old characters, bring in the new. Friggin ridiculous!
People still play Gears to this day! When I finish Halo:MCC on Halo 4 Legendary, I'm running through the Gears series on Insane Mode with my daughter in Campaign Co-op.
To bring something "fresh" would be changing Gears, no!
Gears 4...or whatever, needs:
Campaign Co-op
Horde Mode...like Gears 2
Multiplayer
Splitscreen Campaign Co-op
Horde Mode Splitscreen Co-op
4 player co-op online
Bring back all the characters with a New Carmine & Dom & Marias long lost Son:
Dominic "Domm" Santiago Jr.
Now...Let's Go!
The best Gears of War mutiplayer was the first one. They need to go back to do that and get rid of the horrid Gears 2-Judgement MP.
No, gears 3 was the most balanced and competitive. Don't get me wrong, 1&2 were great, but 3 was perfect aside from sawed off and retro
part 2 was the best. Part 3 felt out of whack with the mulcher, one shot. the retro lancer felt too strong, the lancer and hammer burst felt alot weaker. Part 3 hammer burst felt really bad. I liked playing as female gears though seeing booty instead of the hunchbacks was nice.
Because you need to play more, the more you play the better you are, i have played 600 hours and i know i can learn much more

na, strafing would beat any wallbounce any day, obviously wall bounce tend to not be as accurate, while strafing is always accurate at both defense and offense.
I understand that some of you enjoyed 3 the most, but I didn't. It didn't feel like Gears to me. I mean everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that is mine. You do not have to agree with it. : )
I'd love to see something before E3, but we probably won't. I don't feel like researching it, but has Microsoft had this before? (I'm assuming this is happening this year) Both Halo and GeOW reveal at one E3? Man... Uncharted, GOW, Guerrilla's new IP, Crackdown, Halo, Scalebound, Quantum Break, Gears, and hopefully some awesome reveals from both sides at E3. This along with everything already known to release this year. I can't take it anymore. Dying Light is a nice start to this year, and it's about time to get this gen started real proper like.
May be Halo5 at E3 and Gears at Gamescom. If the game is a year into development now then it might see a release holliday 2016. That would be almost 3years. Also MS has a lot to show. There's also forza6 and lionheads second project and no one actually knows what LXP, Decisive games and the other new studios are working on.
Usually the game development cycle is 3 years but that includes 12-18 of game engine development. If they're using the unreal engine I expect they can shave a year off of development putting them in line for a late 2105 launch. might be pushing it though.
So its been a year and they still have nothing to show for it... Seems about right...
How long has Santa Monica been working on GOW? ND on UC 4 before the reveal at PSX? We complain about devs rushing games, and then complain when they take their time. Why is everyone so negative?
"We complain about devs rushing games, and then complain when they take their time."
Truth.
Take all the time in the world, Black Tusk. I'm counting on you to deliver a true Gears of War experience. :-)
I'm glad they don't have anything to show yet... realistically they've had the franchise for a year, who knows how long actual work started. Anything they show now would be rough, a target render or in alpha... and we know how some people react to anything being shown that isn't perfect even though it's prealpha/alpha build. I'm guessing if we something at E3 it will be a short teaser.
I think Black Tusk hasn't done much with the game play for Gears since DX12 API was probably still in the works.
I think Black Tusk took an entire year to build the stages, textures, character models, etc.
The first Gears of War game for Xbox One may draw on what 343 achieved with Halo 4, Black Tusk Studios general manager Rod Fergusson has told OXM
As long as the learning process is equal parts what to do and what not to do... all fine with me.
never liked any of the Gears games the gameplay was good but the story was very generic and the character designs were stupid but hopefully the new talent they are assembling can re-invent the franchise.
agree halo4 was one of the best games for last gen , and the MP was great too , i hope GOW4 will be as epic as GOW2 that game is dope
Multiplayer was ok imo, but the halo 4 single player was spectacular. If black tusk can make it that good, that would be amazing
More like: in my opinion, halo 4 was one of the best games of last gen. To say halo 4 was the one of the best is really stretching it
Your one bubble say otherwise :) Jk. I agree Halo 4 was great but far from one of the best.
Halo 4 was not the same feeling for me multiplayer. I think this gears of war is going to deviate a lot and have upgraded guns which would ruin it for me. Not having weapons on map would be a mistake
That is what I did with Halo lol. I still remember the leak of MP details like it was yesterday. Man I wish those leaks ended up fake
Why? Did you die a lot?
Halo 4 Multi wasn't the same because it was fresher and faster. Go back and play Halo 3 and tell me if you honestly think it is better. Believe me as a long time Halo vet, it has not held up like you might think it has.
343i stated that they had learned a lot from their work on Halo 4 and that Halo 5 would definitely take on a more polished state upon release. I thought Halo 4 was pretty good as it stood so I'm totally excited for Halo 5 and curious about GoW and how that will change.
Cg teaser = meh.
Awesome another shooter game lol. Geez.
Such a tease! Hoping for great things from this studio, they said that video was running in engine so it should be visually amazing at least.
