Gears Of War Creator Voices Interest In Returning To The Series (Again)

After what he did with the Lawbreakers drama I don't think he's ever going to get the chance to work with Xbox

I'd be interested in an old-style GOW (1,2, or 3). 4 and 5 were okay, but didn't feel the same.

@CharlieChooChoo
Totally agree just like Halo with Bungie.

@CharlieChooChoo
Goes to show how Xbox had it all in the Xbox360 days and some how really messed it up.

Bleszinski "came out of retirement" to start making video games again, knackered it with Lawbreakers and Radical Heights, then retired again. Sounds like somebody's been getting bored again rattling around in his mansion

shame that lawbreakers failed , we need more arena MOBA hero shooters , overwatch sucks , paladins is …eh , battleborn i wish i played

This would be great if it happened the coalition aren't doing a great job so far in my opinion there should of been at least one more spin off game like judgement or tactics out by now or even the remastered original trilogy like we have been asking for years

I couldn't agree more with him. I haven't any nostalgia because I started playing Xbox games on Xbox One and Gears 5 is a huge disappointment. In my opinion, they destroyed everything that was great about Gears of War, especially the writing, story and characters. The original trilogy is the best although I liked 4 and Hivebusters, too. 4 is quite balanced and Hivebusters is plain fun.

Just let him do a spin off like Judgement and set it during the og trilogy and make it about the onyx guard like he wanted to

I am curious how Gears 6 is going to handle that whole "Sophie's Choice" at the end of Gears 5.

@CharlieChooChoo
Yes I think there was a change strategy there.
That even shows in 2023 and let’s see what 2024 brings. Where games are average to above average but not at that true AAA wow must buy an Xbox or gamepass level, of say the xbox360 level of games at AAA quality in all areas.

Also Xbox developers have to cater for series x and s consoles also PC and all other devices along with cloud.

In the xbox360 days they focused on one thing the xbox360.

@CharlieChooChoo
Yes HiFi rush and Forza Horizon 5 seem to be the top end games on series x from in house studios to date, up there with the best of them.

@nomither6 I use my battleborn disc as a coaster now RIP

Just finished 4's campaign after owning it since launch. Loved the gameplay, but didn't connect with the new characters (I couldn't tell you anything about them other than they live outside the COG settlements).

Hopefully 5 won't take me 8 years too. I already know about "the choice" at the end, and I'd like to think The Coalition wouldn't have done that without an idea for the sequel. Good or bad, I think they need to execute on their vision and not cater to the section of the fanbase that probably wouldn't like the story regardless (and would probably love scrapping all the new characters and focusing on the old ones). It's too late for them to back out now.

Cliff as a consultant would be amazing. Living legend.

@PartyMarty damn that sucks

@rustyduck So because Gears 5 starred Kait it is woke?

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

@Kieduss i like gears as a dark gritty macho-man vulgar and gory shooter with serious undertones and raw banter to be honest. it’s better as an edgy series; desaturate all the crayon colors , bring the dirtiness and grit back , make the blood dark red again and bring back horror elements and sense of hopelessness and dread . gears 1/2 is how gears should look , despite 3 being the best imo i didn’t like how they started making it all bright and colorful . kate’s gender has nothing to do with it because anya and sam were likeable babes , gears 4 and 5 just has weak characters along with everything else

Cliffy's politics suck but it would be great to have him back at the helmet. It sucks the timing that he left Epic, he could have led the coalition much better than Rod did.

@nomither6 That's like your opinion man. Which I did not ask. Simply asked the one dude why Gears 5 is "woke".

@Kieduss well i bet my comment is what he meant . people use woke in different ways , it’s not always something racist or sexist as much as people think it is

@nomither6 Sure

Cliff must need a new Lamborghini.. seriously though I think he would be a good fit at Microsoft and the coalition.

I got stuck in gears 5 and never finished. I had completed a mission and traveled 2500 meters on the skid to the next location and I followed the marker into a cave and was met with essentially a 10 foot ledge and I couldn't drop down despite the map marker being right there. I couldn't figure out if it was soft locked or what but because I couldn't get there I just gave up and it was the first gears I didn't finish.
