"So it has been a few months since the first few comparisons that we did in Part 1, so it is once again time to compare a few sequels and their respective predecessors – some new and some not so new.
As previously discussed, games do have it a little easier than films in that they can rely on game play to make a game better, not simply the characters and plot line.
If a games plot and characters are weak, it is still possible for it to be a successful and even good game – if the plot and characters in a film are no good, so is the film.
For me, characters are my favourite part of any story and this might help explain some of the choices below."
As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.
(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)
All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
Marcus Fenix and the crew could be back on your screens once more, as the rumored Gears of War Collection is near completion on Xbox.
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
tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear
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."
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*.
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.
A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.
Hmmm...I actually enjoyed Gears of War 1 more than 2. The environments were better and the whole game was so fresh at the time. Now there are so many that look or act similar.
Though Horde mode is a great addition.
I think that story driven games usually have a better sequel but shooters and games that don't need a good story would have a better original because the impact would be gone from the first which is mostly shown in the article.
Personally I see a worrying series of events happening over the last few years, especially in the last 18 months.
That is, the move from supplying fully expandable add-on packages, to ones that only support online multiplayer ad-ons.
Most new sequels are heavily featured towards multiplayer, at the expense of single player.Just look at the great Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam Pack.
As we know, the games today get played and returned via trade-in/returns/exchange extremely fast so retention is small.
WHat better way to reboot game sales, without having to make a new game, than to make a ad-on packthat requires the original game, and can only be played online.
Sales of Bad COmpany 2 have shot through the roof, and RRP's on the game have risen significantly to prices around release time of the game originally.
So while the original games might actually be better than many of their follow-ups, game publishers are pushing their development teams to get backsides back on seats of older games.
