Co-Op of War - How Gears of War Is The Last Local Co-Op Shooter

CheatCC says - If you played Gears of War when it first came out, there's a strong possibility that you were enamored with the changes it made to the age-old shooter formula, to the ways it shook up your expectations and enhanced your vocabulary as a gamer. A snap-to-cover system, the close, over-the-shoulder perspective, and the active reloading all came together with meaty sound effects, weapons that felt powerful, and the gory visual panache afforded the game by the Unreal Engine 3.0 to create a game experience that redefined visceral.

Is uncharted not local co op?

PirateThom4685d ago (Edited 4685d ago )

Except, Uncharted 3 has 2 player local co-op.

Peaceful_Jelly4685d ago

Resistance 3 has local co-op and Killzone 3 had co-op too.

-Alpha4685d ago (Edited 4685d ago )

Yeah, UC has local co-op as do many other shooters

In fact, local co-op is growing these days

LEFT 4 DEAD!
Portal 2!

I love co-op games , brings back the good old days when online service was pretty much not existent and we enjoyed games even in offline mode, just split screen.

evercast4685d ago

Recently: earth defense force, FEAR3, Portal 2, Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3. Lots of games still have local Co-op lol.

Welshy4685d ago (Edited 4685d ago )

So much fail all over this article...

OF COURSE its not the last local coop shooter, UC3 has it and im pretty sure Resistance 3 is going to have it, among many other recent releases and future releases.

Epic troll, fanboy and flamebaiting article, stop approving merde like this...

Legion4685d ago

Try reading the article and not just assuming what it might say.

HeavenlySnipes4685d ago

basically said that local coop is dying out and almost everygame doesn't do coop as well as Gears.

There are more games that support local coop nowadays, and I think Resistance 3 will be full screen coop like Resistance 1 and 2

MidnytRain4685d ago (Edited 4685d ago )

Uncharted 3 would be a good example, but not Resistance 3 because it comes out before GeOW3.

IAmTheTruth4685d ago

The person that wrote this article lives under a rock.

SageHonor4685d ago (Edited 4685d ago )

LEFT 4 DEAD!
Portal 2!
RE5
Halo ODST
Lego Star Wars
Borderlands
Diablo 2
Killzone 3
Dead Nation
Army of Two
FEAR 3

Etc

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756121d 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.

Blad3runner00121d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic121d 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.

TheEroica121d ago (Edited 121d 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!

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

phoenixwing122d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic121d 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.

Profchaos122d 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__Merrin122d 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_vulgaris122d ago

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

Concertoine121d 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.

Brazz122d ago

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