New Gears of War 4 Teaser Trailer Honors the Legacy of Marcus Fenix

Tomorrow you’re going to get a new trailer for Gears of War 4, but Microsoft is keeping the hype up with a new teaser trailer, and it’s a pretty special one.

crazychris41243569d ago

It's about time we get a new trailer

Abash3569d ago

I hope MS and The Coalition are set on topping the original trilogy with Gears 4. I like Gears multiplayer, but it needs a stellar campaign mode. I want them to focus on the single player as much as the multiplayer

thorstein3568d ago

I still don't see how this game is like the Order 1886.

At all. When that game came out, all I heard was how it was a Gears of War Clone.

Can someone help me out. I just don't see it.

badz1493568d ago

"Original Trilogy" eh? So...Judgement never happened?

candystop3568d ago

The order looked like gears of War with a different settings. Sure different story and everything but it's easy to see where it's inspiration came from.

Kingthrash3603568d ago

Who are you replying too?
Must be the troll gods seeing that the order wasnt brought up.

@thorstein,
The Order is nothing like Gears. 2 totally different games. It has a similar cover system and the movement is kinda sluggish, but that's where the similarities end. The Order can't hold a candle to the Gears series imo. I'm at about 30% through The Order, and while it's ok, I'm finding it hard to get into. To each his own, but it's really not my cup of tea I guess

IamTylerDurden13568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

They are different games with the only similarity being "3rd person shooter/cover based".

The Order actually has movie quality performances and decent writing. The stories in Gears are kind of a joke. Even when Gears tries to be dramatic it comes off poorly (ie Dom's wife).

Anyone who compared The Order to Gears is a fool. That's part of the reason it got bad scores bc people were expecting all action mindless shooter. The Order is like a gorgeous Tell Tale game that actually runs well and has cover based shooting. If you judge it like that it's a terrific game.

Gears 1 & 2 were good, but without Epic, Gears 4 looks quite weak. The grfx and identity are nothing like a legitimate Epic Games Gears of War.

OpieWinston3568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

@TylerDurden
I'm guessing you haven't played any of the games or read any of the books because the Gears universe is quite dynamic and the story is actually extremely well done for being marketed as a "Dude Bro Shooter".
The Dom feels will always be real and there are several strong moments of dialogue in GoW3. (And if you don't have any feels for Maria & Dom then you're a freaking robot)

Gears 4 looks weak? Based on what because Rod Fergusson has been pretty on point with answering questions. Nothing that's had people disappointed.

The Beta will determine if it's "Weak".

thorstein3568d ago

I love both games. I just don't see the connection. Weird that I get so many disagrees for asking a question. Must be all those "journos" that tried to compare the two.

I agree that they are only similar in cover systems. It would be weird to call all games clones if that's all it takes.

Sitdown3568d ago

@thorstein,
One could assume that you received disagrees, because you felt the need to bring up a PlayStation game on a thread simply showing a trailer for an Xbox game. You replied to someone who did not even make the comparison.... so it can come off as a random post that could incite some.

Magnes3568d ago

Let me know when we do get a new trailer. That was a waste of 21 seconds of my time.

kingjohnm3568d ago

it had a release date at the end so I wouldn't say it was a waste lol

Magnes3568d ago

They could have posted that on the games site. I'm not hating on Gears, I love it just want a proper trailer.

OpieWinston3569d ago

I'm really happy they're building on the game by having new characters and giving the franchise room to add them in later.

I mean you can't have a hype train without the Cole Train!
Delta Squad will return but a lot older and more badass. They need a sick reveal in the game, like when Cole showed up in GoW 2.

Man I can't wait for gears 4, actually haven't played gears 3 as my 360 broke after 2 but now that I have an Xbox 1 with that BS I need to play 3.

How was it in comparison to 1 and 2.

Either way this is a day one......come on coalition do that work.

YinYangGaming3569d ago

I haven't been this hyped for a gears game in a long time

IamTylerDurden13568d ago

Why? Just bc of the name? How does Gears 4 look better than The Witcher 3 or Uncharted 4?

What about Gears 4 looks overly impressive? The grfx don't, the voice acting doesn't, the gameplay does not.

The fact that Epic Games isn't developing it causes no concern for you? I can tell you for a fact that i will not be as excited for Uncharted 5.

RiseofScorpio3568d ago

Sony fans trying frantically to derail the hype for Gears 4. How does it affect you that he's hyped for a game?

3568d ago
christocolus3568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

@tyler

Lmao. Are you actually pissed cos he is excited about the game? What do you care? or doesn't he have a right to be excited about it? It doesn't matter who is making it.The game is in good hands and The guy obviously likes what he has seen.so again why do you care? Are u his Dad? And pls tell us more about the graphics and gameplay since you obviously have seen it all. Honestly, your comment seems quite ignorant and a bit petty.. smh

OpieWinston3568d ago

The graphics? This game is gorgeous and dark. I mean are you watching videos at 480p or something?

And the voice acting? Yeah Laura Bailey sucks right?
How about Liam Mcintyre who has a sexy ass voice that has needed to be in games for sometime now.
The gameplay goes back to the core GoW days. Man you haven't watched anything have you...

Gears 4 is going to be huge. Day one for sure!

cellfluid3568d ago

This game will flop just like all the other hyped up xbox 1 game its like an ouroborus withe these gamez.. Yall never look at things criticality only emotionally ._stop supporting broken games and they will be forced 2 step up quality._ do u have the disipline to do so?????Gears of war 4 720/860p upscaled 30fps locked. Lets see

christocolus3568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

Wut? Lmao. Why you trying so hard to downplay the game? Every main line Gears game has done well and all the guy above you said was “it will be huge day one” and you replied with that BS. What does it matter to you if he likes the game? Gears is a major ip and has a huge following on Xbox and I'm sure Gears 4 will do just fine and from your comment regarding the games res you obviously know nothing about Gears 4 dude.

3568d ago
cellfluid3567d ago

Maybe u should clean the hamster food out of your ears you standard definition baby._.

cellfluid3568d ago

And what does it matter to u to comment on my reply??(your attempted logic) and as of right now and into the future everything is consistently UPGRADIN and based on T@ fact if these games dont grown then that represents a decline in the ability to evolve._. But if people like u make subliminal execuses that only highlight that u are participating in a regressive execution. Because u always settle 4 less when u should inticipate more!!!!!!!!! Stop using your emotions 2 make decisions and try 2 use critical thinkin if u can

TheGreatGamer3568d ago

The use of advanced vocabulary is so misplaced in your comment that it's almost as bad as were I witnessing a baby driving a car. The juxtaposition between some of your technically advanced vocabulary and the wider illiteracy of your comment really do make for an entertaining read. I thank you for the entertainment that you stupidity brought me @cellfluid.

cellfluid3568d ago

The abundance of injestin artificial particles has rendered you with an inability to maximize on potentially capturing the jist of my statement.Let me rephrase u r not participatin n a regressive execution for you are the president of that movement which is a description of the collapsin of your lunix( In verted helix) In cased u dididnt kno what that meant._. Typical submentel creature.Lol carry on now and continue 2 be mesmerized by your artificial light sprits aka ELectricity

4Sh0w3568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

cellfluid what are you talking about? This is about a Gears 4 trailer, remember?

You sound like a bad SNL skit, trying too hard to be smart unfortunately your comments end up sounding like a bunch of incoherent gibberish= don't hurt yourself. lol

christocolus3569d ago

Sweet. Can't wait to take down the swarm.

Prubar3569d ago

No way! Can't wait to rip off the arms of them COG scum. For the swarm!!!

OpieWinston3569d ago

The Coalition and Outsiders are going to be losing many a arm at the end of rounds come Versus.
Come April 18th I can't wait to play the beta... Got first two days off. My body is ready.

5 Video Games That Should Have Been Shorter, and 5 That Should Have Been Longer

GB: "Nailing an experience's length is easier said and done, and one way or another, these games left a little to be desired on that front."

Read Full Story >>
gamingbolt.com
Petebloodyonion1080d ago

I always have a problem with games that should have been longer when lasting 8-10 hours.
Here's a question I ask all the time when ppl say that.
How many times have you replayed the story of a great game like Tlou2, GOW, Final Fantasy remake, GTA, Zelda, or any other 20 hours plus game? and usually, the answer varies between 0 and rarely 1.

So what's the point of having great 30 hours plus games if you will never replay them because of level, section, grinding dragging too long?

Lifexline1080d ago (Edited 1080d ago )

I agree I’m not sure how people find the time to play all these games. 20 plus hour games are great but for me 8 to 10 is the sweet spot. Those games take to long to finish specially when you have a backlog of games waiting to be played. Plus 20 plus hour games always have downtime and unnecessary side quests that can be boring too much fodder imo.

Being on your phone is one thing you can access websites like this everywhere on your phone or mobile gaming. But games you have to find the time to play them. Which is why I don’t understand why so many people want like ten games it seems In a month.

LucasRuinedChildhood1080d ago (Edited 1080d ago )

I think you're missing the point a bit.

A game can be 8-10 hours long and use that time really well, but it can also only start to get good far into the playthrough and leave the player feeling short-changed.

Hotline Miami is only 4-5 hours long but it's extremely well paced and time well spent. But if only got really good towards the end, I'd want it to be longer.

Stanjara1080d ago

You just look at trophies and se that around 20% or less actually finish their games.

CrimsonWing691080d ago

I've replayed all those games except GTA and Breath of Wild because I can never finish them.

The Last of Us 2 i've replayed 4 times. God of War (2018) 2 times, Final Fantasy Remake 3 time (technically Intergrade twice since went on Steam and I wanted 100% achievements), and if we do want to bring in Zelda I've played Ocarina of Time probably 4 to 6 times a few times on N64, another time on 3DS, and twice on virtual console Wii and Wii U.

I am sure I'm not alone in replaying long games and honestly it's like I'm finished within a week or two and that with balancing responsibilities and a social life. Shorter games take even less time.

BrainSyphoned1080d ago

Without mentioning Skyrim.. I've got two platinum trophies for Persona 5 and am playing it on game pass right now. Beat FF7R on normal twice and hard once and will play it again before the next one. Non story games- MHW I've made characters on PC/Xbox/PS with at least 600 hours on each platform. I don't care to play a mediocre games that are 8 hours long. The reason my backlog is so long isn't because that many good games are released each year it is because I replay the best ones over and over. Same deal with audio books. I've gone through book series multiple times every time a new one is coming out.

Soy1080d ago

Disagree with Days Gone - yeah it took a while to really get going, but I appreciated it when I was done. Jumping right in at 4-5 hrs or whatever would've made the rest feel less impactful. RDR2 and Mankind Divided felt just right too, I wouldn't change them at all.

What needed less time was AC Valhalla. I was more than ready to be done with that by the time it was 2/3 over. Just too much useless stuff, and I hated the Asgard sections.

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

Read Full Story >>
culturedvultures.com
KicksnSnares1305d ago

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)

ChasterMies1304d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger6381304d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv721305d ago

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.

Jericho13371305d ago

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.

Om4ever1304d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad1305d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds1305d ago

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.

Gears Of War: The Franchise For You

Old McGroin1438d ago (Edited 1438d ago )

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

https://youtu.be/wy8LRlS1SC...

Neonridr1438d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies1438d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia1439d ago

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.

monkey6021438d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian2291438d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares1439d ago

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

RetroCaptainSteve1439d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares1439d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos1438d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong1438d ago (Edited 1438d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard1438d ago

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
