Game developers should stick to their aesthetic ideals

Gears of War is constantly criticized for its gray-dominated color palette. Find out why this is unfair and potentially harmful to the franchise’s aesthetic integrity.

I hated how GoW3 was so bright. They took away all the grittiness...

gamingdroid4471d ago

I got to agree with this. The grey "destroyed beauty" look was awesome.

That said, for online play the more vibrant colors help me distinguish a person from the walls better.

So it is a double edged sword....

h311rais3r4471d ago (Edited 4471d ago )

Yes and no. Some parts could be brighter during the game. I love the dark grit it was known for though cuz it set the mood of the game. Not every game needs to be bright and happy.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756113d 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.

@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?

FinalFantasyFanatic113d 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.

TheEroica113d ago (Edited 113d 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

phoenixwing113d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic113d 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.

Profchaos113d 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__Merrin113d 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_vulgaris113d ago

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

Concertoine113d 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.

Brazz113d ago

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