Gears 5 is available to stream on GeForce NOW as Microsoft's first game following the partnership with NVIDIA. More will follow next week.
From IGN: "While Gears of War has always been connected to the Xbox brand, the series was created by Epic Games as an exclusive. And though the series eventually found its way to Microsoft's first-party portfolio, lead designer Cliff Bleszinski shared his thoughts on the sale.
IGN sat down with Bleszinski for a new episode of Unfiltered and found out how the game director felt when it was announced that Epic Games would sell the franchise to Microsoft in 2014. This was two years after Bleszinski left Epic Games in 2012."
I remember playing the original Gears of War for the first time and being blown away by the graphics and art style and thinking how is this even possible on the Xbox 360 lol. Great job by Epic!
It’ll eventually be made into a multiplayer only game. Every franchise like this will be. The main goal of the industry is having everything basically like Overwatch 2 or any multiplayer mobile game.
There was another game that came before that, but incredibly expensive to play in 2006.
I remember a comment from my girlfriend at the time. “How could the graphics get any better than this.” Was amazing in 2006.
Played on the 360 after having seen Uncharted 4, and I was still amazed at what they achieved.
In the article he said Phil Spenser was the only person to call him and nobody else. Just found that interesting, because no one at Epic or his ex co-game developers tried to contact him.
Perhaps he actually is as much of a douchebag as he seemed back in the day. Guy had a terrible attitude and always seemed super arrogant.
Yeah he did! I remember G4 had him on one of their shows back in the day and he just had this smug look the whole time and was wearing this real tight black shirt and big chain. And he just looked and talked like he thought he was way too cool for the room.
I loved Gears, don't get me wrong. But he was a total douche.
Franchises need to constantly and successfully reinvent themselves to keep entries from getting stale.
Look at GOW (PS) and Zelda. Those are examples of franchises that successfully evolve yet keep their core DNA.
That’s what the Gears franchise needs right now.
Never much cared for the look of gears. The over used steroid buff look. Ive heard good things about them. I will say i really need to play the gear of war tactics game. I love games like that. I just forget about it.
Gears Tactics is a solid game. Despite being an XCOM clone, it certainly has unique elements from Gears of War running well on the gameplay. I highly recommend it.
To date xcom is one of my favorite series. Ive bought each one day one , the rebought when the goty editions come out with all the dlc. I just started it again sunday night. Every other year I run through xcom enemy within and 2 it seems.
Let me guess... wait for a patch?
They’re working on this right now. Just check in their twitter. Their pretty quick to acknowledge issues
Man, I have seen some serious glitches in this game. It’s a shame because I really like this Gears but Geezus what a mood killer these bugs can be
Gears 5 assumes too much from the player. For example a character will tell you to do something, but they won't tell you where to go or where the object is. So you wander around looking for where you have to go to trigger the next event. This sort of thing happens a few times in the game and it can be frustrating.
