Gears 5 Trailer Is All About Dave Batista as Marcus Fenix

Today Microsoft and The Coalition released another new trailer of Gears 5 featuring the upcoming update.

No,pls let Marcus Fenix face i don't need a change.

🤨

Wait so is Batista the new face or just the voice actor? That was more confusing than anything.

[boing1]

Dave Bautista. Batista is his stage name.

[Bigman4k]

🤨🤦‍♂️

[RazzerRedux]

This seems damn near sacrilegious.

[dcbronco]

This comes off as a movie push. Leave the games alone. Do a movie separate if you want.

[King_Noctis]

You can toggle between Marcus and Batista, unlike Spiderman Remastered which you are stuck with the new face.

Also, Batista is not in Gears movie. Look it up.

Difference here is that this is the 5th entry in the series compared to how we have only had one Spiderman game from Insomniac so far so it much easier to force a visual character switch early in a story. And it's not like the voice changed like they did with this game. The only change spider-man did is the visual change. Voice/Mocap is from the same person.

@king_noctis "unlike Spiderman Remastered which you are stuck with the new face"

Omg cry me a river. Get over it man😭

[RazzerRedux]

lol....gotta make it about Sony somehow, don't you? Peter Parker's face has changed a thousand times or more from comics to TV to movies to video games. There is only one face for Marcus Fenix. Stop making stupid fanboy comparisons.

[RememberThe357]

The new Spider-Man face is better anyway.

[spicelicka]

Who cares if it's an optional switch some people want to try.

[IRetrouk]

Don't know how I feel about this, on one hand its kinda cool, but on the other Marcus is my fave gears character, couldn't they have made dave a separate character with some dlc story to tie him in?

[RazzerRedux]

I just think there are a few faces that are so iconic in gaming that you just wouldn't change. Marcus Fenix is one of them to me. This kind of cheapens him a bit which I think is sad.

[IRetrouk]

Yeah I agree, he's the main gears character to me, shouldn't be messing with the mains, felt the same with snake.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

Let video games and movies stand on their own merits. Trying to push a movie through a video game, while changing the look of such an iconic lead character that has been around since 2005, is just plain stupid.

nothing against this guy but he's more Dom than Marcus IMO
