Years Later, Some People Still Believe Xbox Is Working On A 'Gears Collection'

Gears is the reason I bought a Xbox in the first place

Gears is my favorite Xbox first party franchise so if there ever is a Marcus Phenix Collection, I'd buy it day one for sure.

I reckon IF its going to happen it'll be after they remaster/remake gears 2.

If I was them I've been doing all sorts of these collections. Fable is another obvious choice. They wouldn't be remakes, just giving the original games a bit if a freshen up for all the newcomers to xbox.

If you keep predicting the same thing every year eventually over time it has a chance of becoming true.

I have been fooled every time someone say’s this is coming at an event. But yes i am a huge Gears fan and this would be day one for me and i would play it like crazy both single player and multiplayer. It’s a game that would take some pressure of where’s Gears 6 at? Plus give the games to newer players and PC games. It’s a win win title that i am sure at some point we will see, but i am not falling for it will be shown at the next show again. I’ve done that 2-3 times now and leave feeling disappointed.

Most definitely a day one purchase for me. As it happens, I am currently replaying Gears of War 2 at the moment, having gone through both Gears of War Remastered and Gears of War Judgement last week. The last time I went through all of the games was during the COVID lockdowns!

GoW2 is definitely in need of some love; the gameplay is pretty much nailed on, but the quality of the graphics is not great, and not being able to tag things such as weapons is a nuisance. It means that instead of being able to tag and move on, as you can in the other games, you have to stand on the item, and await the arrival of your co-op partner. Little things like that are kind of annoying in the modern era of gaming.

I'm somewhat torn on what I would like next the most; a remastered trilogy, or Gears 6, or indeed, Gears Tactics 2. In all honesty, I'd settle for pretty much anything right now. Even confirmation that something is in the works would be nice...

@Fiendish-Beaver Something must be in the works the coalition as far as I know just work on gears games so hopefully we will get something gears related this year I personally would love them to remaster gears2&3 before anything else just to get back into gears 3 multiplayer hopefully they get rid of the slow down while being shot with the lancer and it's perfection for multiplayer

I’m playing gears 4 now on series x.
But I’m absolutely more for all resources on Gears 6. It will be a staggering 5 years in 2024 since the last main entry.
So come on coalition give us Gears 6.

I would love them to do it but I'll believe it when it actually gets announced there's been rumours for ages that never come to anything.

I've been saying for the past 2-3yrs that a remastered Gears Collection would make a LOT of sense. Gears 2 and 3 were only on the 360, at least I don't think 2-3 released on PC, so a remastered package would bring those to PC too.

With UE5 being 'new' too, what better way to get fully up to speed with Developing a Game in that new Engine than remaking Gears? You have 'everything' already to essentially act as a 'template' and so its more about learning the 'engine' than trying to create something 'new' whilst also trying to get to grips with UE5.

Personally I would be much more interested in a Marcus Fenix Collection than Gears 6 as I find the newer games lacking in the 'horror' of 'War'. Things seemed darker, more emotional and better characters - but I do want 'Gears 6' to finish off that arc. I still think that 4 and 5 should be Gears (no of War) 1 and 2, so we need Gears 3, but I really want them to go back to the 'Gears of War'.

I also hope that in remaking Gears 1-3, they would ALL have a better understanding of why those games stood out, why 4 and 5, whilst 'solid' enough from a 'technical' perspective, didn't connect as well with their Campaigns. Bring back that 'Darkness' that War brings...

Several years ago I picked up a pre-owned copy of Gears 4 and to my immediate surprise, the inserts were still in the box for a digital copy of all previous games, and the codes were unused. So a collection wouldn't do me a ton of good, but would be cool to see regardless.

Id love for a collection just to get renewed life into Gears 3 horde and Judgement's survival modes. Those were the only multiplayer games/modes i really got into and id love to be able to easily find people to play them with again.

@Zenszulu average mindset of the people asking for a bloodborne pc port lmfao

At the very least all the 360 era Gears games need the same remaster treatment that Gears 1 received a few years ago. I still wish they kept putting out DLC for Gears Tactics. Loved that game!

I could see them making a collection with the original trilogy + Judgement for this year, while also enhancing Gears 4 for Series S|X. Then announce Gears 6 for 2025.

That would be one hell of an announcement lol.

Would they just be ports or remasters?

That's pretty much what I've been saying, @Altaria_97, though I had hoped for a shadow-drop in the June showcase, and then at the Game Awards. Now, I guess, we can only hope for a shadow-drop of the remastered trilogy when Xbox has their showcase in the early part of next year (assuming they are going to do one, as they did last year).

I need my new Gears of War fix as soon as possible, as I'm having severe withdrawal symptoms right now... 😂

only gears 1-3 or it’s a bust if they ever do decide to do it . gears 4/5 is not gears

and also keep it dark and gritty FFS. i get so tired of remasters making everything so bright and ruining the aesthetic of the original
