Epic was ready to scrap Gears multiplayer

Speaking to XLeague.TV back at Games Convention 2007, Mike Capps revealed that he was so unhappy with the multiplayer element of Gears of War that it was very close to being pulled from the game.

"I was going to cut multiplayer from Gears because I thought it wasn't coming together fast enough, right," said Capps. "The day before E3 I'm like 'no guys, it's not pulling together'. And they made it, they pulled it together, and then we won every award."

Gears of War online is awesome. I can't believe they wanted to scrap it.

goodganja6059d ago

If Gears wasnt online, Gamespot would still have scored the game 9/10, 10/10.

What a biased website.

iceice1236059d ago

Your ass is still sore over that? Oh and idiot, multiplayer doesn't make a game anyway. :)

BloodySinner6059d ago

Yeah, because it's awesome. Bioshock didn't have online play, yet still got high scores. Why? Because it's awesome as well.

Witty Comment6059d ago

but if you're complaining about something being biased, and your avatar is like yours, and you sign every post "P L A Y B 3 Y O N D", then it would seem you're only contributing toward the problem of something being biased.

the multiplayer was fun except 4 the hosting, crab walk, gernade hitting all the time, dive and shoot (automatic kill i might add), chainsaw detonation explosion kill glitch....(-_-) but other than than that its 1 hell of a game... o and its NOT the best game...*cough* Mass Effect is....

wageslave6059d ago

The METACRITIC score of Gears of War is 9.4 / 10

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

That is higher than any other PS3 exclusive, not R&C (9.0), Resistence (8.6), Warhawk (8.4) or Motorstorm (8.2).

The *AVERAGE* score for Gears of War exceeds any PS3 exclusive. Who caers if your sore over one review? Wants some cheese with your whine?

andy0016059d ago

I am so happy that you rely on Metacritic so much to determine your preferences. It would be really hard work for you if you had to make your own mind up.

Its a good job they had all those mountain dew Halo commercials, otherwise you might have died of thirst by now.

I like Gears BTW. Really cool game, and it surpasses any other similar game on the 360, especially co-op. In fact, it was the first game I have ever played within which I preferred co-op to the usual deathmatch stuff.

Oh but I'm sure if they gave all Ps3 games glowing reviews then they would be a brilliant site...grow up seriously...your sticking up for a 6kg piece of silicon, plastic and metal

Regret6059d ago

Still best game on x360 :)

TheMART6059d ago

Go away... If Gears didn't have the multiplayer, the most awesome gaming experience ever wouldn't have been given to me! This is the multiplayer game I play the most. It's so much fun, the 'new' maps (already 6 months old but for those that didn't buy them they're free since the beginning of september) are great!

I have to see a game that defeats this game in the multiplayer. In my opinion, I like this even better then Halo 3 multiplayer, but thats just what one prefers cover or not, jumping or not, megafast action or normal speed etc.!

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756137d 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.

Blad3runner00137d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic137d 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.

TheEroica137d ago (Edited 137d 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!

RaidenBlack137d ago

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

phoenixwing137d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic137d 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.

Profchaos137d 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__Merrin137d 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_vulgaris137d ago

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

Concertoine137d 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.

Brazz137d ago

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

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

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."

Wyesvin142d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack141d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69142d ago

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*.

ocelot07142d ago

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.

chicken_in_the_corn142d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid142d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog141d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992142d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
