The technological demonstration of the upgraded Unreal Engine 3, which will be used in Gears of War 2, and which was unveiled during the San Francisco GDC is finally available in all its 720p direct-feed glory. Superb.
Update: Behind-the-scenes video of the GDC presentation added
The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?
Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.
My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)
2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.
The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.
I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Judgement
I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.
I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.
Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.
What's the best Gears of War game for players? Where to start? This guide should easily lend a hand.
Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.
My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement
Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer
One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.
Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol
The Gears of War franchise's influence has remained to this day with cover systems becoming as ubiquitous as regenerating health. With a new console generation upon us, it's time to list the series from worst to best.

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
Anyone else?
How many times can this story get rehashed?
has ne one seen the Killzone 2 Tech demo...? lol
Epic Games only has a mere tech demo to showcase for their highly anticipated Gears of War 2. When Bungie Studios showcased their Halo 3 trailer (the bubble shield), claiming it was in game footage, many Microslaves were in denial over the horrendous final product of the game.
This trend will continue with Gears of War. Epic Games are ashamed of what little can be done since going back to XBOX 360 development from PLAYSTATION® 3. To break the news blatantly, Gears of War 2 will be 2008's biggest disappointment.
$niper
I almost feel sorry for guerilla (aka killzone 2 devs) they don't have a chance if killzone 1 is anything to go by.
I'll pray for you Guerilla but i don't think even god can stop this one its innevitable that killzone 2 is gonna be steam rollered by epics gears 2 shaped juggernaught.
Hope killzone 2 manages to sell ok so Sony can get back some of the money they've invested and put it to good use this time.
Isn't Killzone 2 the most expensive game ever made? Either way this is gonna hurt the Sony piggy bank if it isn't a success.
edit:@mightydouche uuummmm bathing in the sweet waters from your tears of outrage ahahahahaa. Dry your eyes sonny jim its just my opinion based on what ive seen from both developers.
i like gears very much, i hope more news of this title reaches us before the summer hits hard.
