Day one without a doubt!! This game looks amazing!

timotim1485d ago

It does look pretty good. Will give my PC a run for it money.

bishup251485d ago

quite possibly the most high quality RTS game currently.
even pc gamers mistaken this for a standard budget triple A title.

DonDon30001485d ago

I get it. Don't release enough 1st parry games in a steady enough stream, then release a tactics version of an existing franchise. This gonna be a pattern? Halo now this? How about putting resources in creating new IPs instead?

CaptainCook1485d ago (Edited 1485d ago )

Gears Tactics is a new IP, Gears of War has the characters to turn this into a turn-based strategy game.

--bienio--1485d ago

Dont cry ! Just enjoy cos it’s give Gears Of Wars a breath of freshness what can come out for good in this series!
Anyway Day one! Happy day at last my Pc got something first.. sorry I couldn’t resist:)

Software_Lover1485d ago

So they should release the same game, just with different characters in a different world? Would it not still be the same game.

I mean hell, we have Mario, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart, Mario at the Olympics, Mario Dodgeball, Mario soccer, Mario Golf, Mario golf World Tour, Mario Golf yada yada, Mario Baseball. I have played most of them without complaining.

timotim1485d ago

This is proof right here that people will complain regardless. I mean, who is making strategy games out of the big three right now other than Microsoft? Yet this guy wants to get upset because its using an existing universe??? Why shouldn't it if the Gears universe is already rich with story and history?

King_Noctis1485d ago

Grounded, Everwild, Project Mara, and Bleeding Edge aren’t new IPs? And how about other unannounced games from their other studios?

From the publisher that brought you halo wars and gears tactics comes a whole new mediocre tactical game using an existing ip they love to milk..... Age of forza.

timotim1485d ago

Mediocre???🤔

The original Halo Wars was the highest rated RTS on consoles for its time and landed with a 82 rating. How is that mediocre? Even the sequel averaged a 79 on Xbox One. If those are spinoff "mediocre" games using existing IP, I would to get your take on this game...

Rts & console

Lol

Takwin1485d ago

As an XCOM and Fire Emblem fan (and appreciative of Mario Rabbids and h/t to Ogre Tactics and Final Fantasy Tactics), this looks amazing. I've got the XBOX Ultimate but no XBOX, so I'll be playing on PC!

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN53d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit53d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead52d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica52d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL52d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit52d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper52d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica50d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer53d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit53d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer53d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit52d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218352d ago (Edited 52d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer52d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218352d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper52d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal52d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood52d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218352d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde52d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

KicksnSnares687d ago

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies686d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638686d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72686d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337686d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever686d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad686d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds686d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.
