With the final release* in the trilogies out of the way for Resistance and Gears of War it’s come the time to look back and see which next-gen IP walked away with the prize and which has been shunted into the corner to lick it’s wounds.
Gears of War 1 was released exclusively to the Xbox 360 in November of 2006 while Resistance: Fall of Man was released exclusively to the PS3 just 4 days later on the 11th of November 2006.
Gears of War 1 brought the ground breaking cover mechanic to reality and consoles while Resistance had a 40 player online claim to fame. The games weren’t targeted at each other but fans on both sides had found a new hero and the fanboy wars began.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
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
Winning
Do we really need another article like this?
Do these basement "journalist" really just ignore (or ignorant of) the fact that such an article already exist, many times over?
Or do they have some sort of "to hell with orignality I do it for teh hitz!11!" unwritten rule that they follow, which is why we get flamebait/dumb article clone #2322123
Either way, it's pathetic and downright embarrassing.
I agree with u Rynx, without this we know who is a winner...can't even compare game that runs on dedi servers with one that cutted their player from 64 to 16 because they removed it...GeOW3 was the winner from the beginning no matter what the sales will be...
Gears of War 1 wasn't the first game with a cover mechanic.
In the end the winners are the consumers. Competition is always a good thing, no matter which side is "winning". Competition creates bigger desire to do a better game and with two sides trying to best each other, the consumers get 2 awesome games. People should realize that, stop trolling and start playing these games, because both of them are awesome.
"Gears of War 1 brought the ground breaking cover mechanic"
I find this laughable, how ignorant people are, there were many games before that used the cover system before gears.
"the reality is that Resistance is a good but not great shooter while Gears of War brought something entirely new to the table".
Double standards ftw!
