Gears of War Collection, Microsoft debunked Halo: The Master Chief Collection rumors too

It’s Microsoft’s habit to categorically debunk rumors linked to its exclusive games.

boyscout_3348d ago

Another clue for the Marcus Fenix collection? Let's see what happens at E3...

Erik73573348d ago

Microsoft e3:
Crackdown 3 gameplay(2016 release date)
Halo 5 gameplay(2015)
Next gears of war game announcement(2016 possibly 2017)
Gears of War collection announcement and probably gameplay(2015)
Quatome break gameplay (2016)
Rare's new game (2016)

Those will probably be their highlights for their e3 conference

GearSkiN3348d ago

Um I'm sure there's more we haven't heard...

Not only that you're missing platinum games upcoming exclusive.

nicksetzer13348d ago

You missed tomb raider, inside, scale bound, plus there are multiple new studios like LXP, lift and a few others that we have yet to hear from that will have games.

WCxAlchemist3347d ago

I cant wait to see gameplay of SCALEBOUND extremely hyped to see more of this

Erik73573347d ago

NA, ill get tomb raider on my pc after a few months after its launch.

gangsta_red3347d ago

Supposedly Twisted Pixel has a new game too. Something that is very new from them that even Rare might be working with them on.

Hopefully that will be shown at E3, very curious to see what those guys are working on.

MS did deny the MCC that's right after their E3 plans got leaked online.

Black Tusk did say they had other Gears projects in the making.

So that pretty much confirms MFC.

They did a prequel.

Unless the Gears Of War Exile the Kinect Gears gets resurrected by MS which I HIGHLY doubt consider MS doesn't make (or try to make) hardcore Kinect games anymore.

Its the collection.

E3 will be here soon enough.

FeliceDiGi3348d ago (Edited 3348d ago )

Maybe they are trying to do something different this time... Who is in for a multiplayer collection only? :D

Give me all the maps to play with the same gameplay (from Gears 3?) and I'm fine until Gears 4!

Fro_xoxo3348d ago (Edited 3348d ago )

no, just no.

I actually prefer the campaign modes over the competitive multiplayer.

Horde mode/ cooperative multiplayer comes second. :)

We want the whole package.. :P

oSHINSAo3347d ago

Why not a competitive Gears Of Wars MOBA ...

moomoo3193348d ago

Horde mode was revolutionary when it came out, I would love to relive that. Every game had to throw in some sort of wave defense mode after Gears 2.

spicelicka3347d ago

Yea Gears is under-credited for popularizing that. Not only that but TPS games before that were a joke in the competitive scene.

Tedakin3348d ago

Remember last year, Halo MCC was supposed to be one of Microsoft's be E3 holy crap announcements, and it got leaked and ruined a few weeks beforehand. Maybe they're desperately trying to stop that from happening with GOW.

GearSkiN3348d ago

Mhmm I dont think it was leaked

TheRedButterfly3348d ago

Leaked? Not so much. But it was rumored ever since January earlier that year.

http://xboxonedaily.com/201...

ntkrnl discussed on NeoGAF that H2A was coming, and that ports of H3/H4 were also coming. CEA was a 'surprise' though.

MrBeatdown3348d ago (Edited 3348d ago )

Nothing in that article made it sound like they "debunked" anything. They just didn't confirm anything.

They said there is no Marcus Fenix collection outright. Some took that to mean it's a Gears collection with Judgment, and not strictly a Gears 1-3 collection. Yet they just announced they are giving away Judgment. They wouldn't give you Judgment for free then ask you to buy a remastered version six months later.

If it's happening, it ain't gonna be this year. They don't need it with Halo. If anything, they could use it in fall 2016 if they can't get the next Gears done by then.

captainexplosion3348d ago

So instead of a Gears Collection competing with Halo you would rather it compete with another Gears game? And I'm not sure why Judgement being given with Gold effects the chance of it being included in the collection. Maybe they want people to see that Judgment is better than its word of mouth and get people to buy some DLC before they announce Judgement is in the Gears Collection.

MrBeatdown3347d ago

Where did I say I'd rather see a Gears collection compete with another Gears game?

I clearly said they could use it in 2016 if the next Gears isn't ready that year.

And yeah, if I was trying to sell a Gears of War collection in fall 2015, I'd start out by not giving every Xbox Live subscriber one of the games for free.

donthate3347d ago

@beat:

If I was going to introduce a re-master collection, I would most certainly give the least popular game of the series free to introduce new gamers to the series.

I would also specifically pick GeoW:Judgment to see how the reception is on the newer controlls on new gamers that aren't all hung up on the old controllers.

That said, there is no way MS would leave a collection so in-demand and not provide it to their fans. They have practically been listening to everything else we asked for.

MrBeatdown3347d ago (Edited 3347d ago )

Didn't say it won't happen or can't happen. I'd be surprised if it didn't happen eventually. But people act like it's releasing this fall and trying to interpret every denial from a Microsoft exec as confirmation it exists.

If they were going to release a Gears collection this year like everyone seems to think they will, it simply doesn't make sense to give out the worst received game in the series so soon before release.

Besides, Gears 1 was free already. Offering up another Gears game just undermines the value of a collection.

gangsta_red3347d ago

Judgement is only for 360 though. This collection would include all 3 Gears plus (maybe) include Judgement, would only be for Xbox One and would include all maps, all modes and all DLC. Still a good deal if it's priced the same as MCC.

If they do a Collection for Gears I can see this coming late this year, maybe during the holidays. And it could possibly include a free beta access to the multiplayer for the next Gears 4. It's what they did for MCC and would make the most sense.

MrBeatdown3347d ago

Not saying it's not a good deal. But Rod Ferguson said there is no Marcus Fenix collection. People's logic was that it wasn't a MF collection because it included Judgment. If a collection was coming this fall, they wouldn't be giving away one of the games included for free. That technicality doesn't hold up well anymore.

It just doesn't make sense for them to release it this year anyway. They have Halo, and plenty of other games. Black Tusk has been working on Gears for just a year. Fall 2016 for Gears 4 only gives Black Tusk two and a half years. That kind of timetable is unlikely even for well established developers. A fall 2017 release is far more likely, so it makes sense to make a Gears collection the big 2016 game.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756131d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00131d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic131d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack131d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing131d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic131d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos131d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin131d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris131d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine131d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz131d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin136d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack135d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing135d ago (Edited 135d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69136d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07136d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn136d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid136d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog135d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex135d ago (Edited 135d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992136d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
