Another "No Sh!t" article title right here.

UltimaEnder6396d ago

WOW, another PS3 fanboy.....big surprise there; sucks Gears of War 2 is not on your platform no?

See I'm smart, I get to play Gears 2 and Resistance 2.....try it sometime!

PoSTedUP6396d ago (Edited 6396d ago )

i want gears of war2 and forza2, but with out the RROD please, its a shame really, i would support microsoft's gaming console if they played a fair role in the industry by not being so corrupt, i dont play dat sh*t. >: 0

i support their windows etc. and i dont mind it because its good and i am having no problems with it, and i like they fact that the donate alot of their money to my country and the rest of the world. but i aint gunna buy a console that was deliberately put on the market with a tremendous amount of flaws and its been three years and they still haven't fixed it, it makes it seem like they dont give a f*ck and are lazy and plus the fact that they cheat is really disrespectful to the gaming industry in general, they should be ashamed. i take my gaming very seriously and every thing i do is official so like i said, i dont play dat s*** man.

chaosatom6396d ago

oh man, its about to go to 1000 degrees in here!

SaiyanFury6396d ago

I have no doubt Gears of War 2 is a great game worthy of it's good scores. But I'm done listening to people like Cliff Bleszinski and Don Mattrick who really need to shut their mouths. I don't need big mouthpieces like them to push me into a decision about which games to buy. I make my own choices. I have both a PS3 and 360 and will choose the games I like for both platforms. CliffyB has repeatedly spoken out against games that have a lot of potential like Mirror's Edge just because it has a lack of guns. Sorry, I don't have some weird obsession with firearms. I play a game for what it is, not based on some guy's opinion. If I decide not to play Mirror's Edge it will be because I don't like the game, not because of it's lack of guns. And as for Mattrick's E3 statement, "Xbox 360 WILL sell more units than PS3 this generation". Well I have this to say. That's your assumption based on your own objectives as a Microsoft employee. Final numbers will show the final results. The PS3 is still selling very well despite MS's tries to undercut them by bribing companies around the world. As a matter of fact, some of the more major companies have recently stated they make more money on the PS3 like EA and Konami. Hard to ignore hard figures, especially when you're own statement is one based on a long term goal that has little to back it up. Sorry people, physical numbers show the real results, not the ones you'd like to believe.

dktxx26396d ago (Edited 6396d ago )

Ultimaender, did I say anything about Gears? No. I commented on the obvious title which the guy soon fixed. So labeling me a fanboy is pretty idiotic of you.

JasonPC360PS3Wii6395d ago

PoSTedUP do you have like 4 comments in a text doc that you copy and paste from every day? you say that same thing with all games that come out on the 360, "I want L4D, Gears, Halo, Mass Effect but RROD blah blah blah" who do you think your fooling?

Obama6396d ago

That picture doesn't make him more straight.

UltimaEnder6396d ago

I think the girl is actually hot, which is rare for a game developer......or a gamer at all for that matter!

ChickeyCantor6396d ago

@ultima,

Isn't that his mom?
( no serioulsy i remember something like that!)

Also don't act like if all gamers have geeky/fat girlfriends thats just ....just no.

ablecain6396d ago

Who's that girl he's with?

cyclindk6396d ago

Dude, that totally makes you sound like a gossiping teenage girl, "oh, who's THAT girl he's with, gosh she is fat, I'm much skinnier than her, what's he doing with her anyway!"

Seriously, get a life man. Wait? You are a man, aren't you...maybe you ARE a gossiping teenage girl, sorry, I didn't mean to offend you if you are.

Gears of War 2 Remake was in development “10 years ago” but was scrapped by Xbox

Ayi Sanchez: "Old work. I did this 10 years ago now as part of a material test for a remaster of Gears of War 2 that never happened."

RaidenBlack431d ago

lolz,
hope we're still getting Gears 2 & 3 for PC, as per rumors

Cacabunga430d ago

Xbox always taking the right decisions

XiNatsuDragnel431d ago

Wow... just wow Microsoft sigh at it again 😑

Lightning77431d ago

Weird, in mean they had no studios to make anything really new so there's a part of me thats kinda glad they scrapped it. If they released this back then it would of gotten ridiculed for remakes and remastering stuff. Now they have new and interesting games so the collection is harmless.

CrimsonWing69431d ago

Geez, Xbox, something like that I would’ve bought Day 1. Great business decisions over there.

lucasnooker431d ago

10 years ago it wasn’t such a big deal. The games were only a few years old by that point

CrimsonWing69430d ago

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition came out in 2015 (essentially 10 years ago), having a follow-up to that on the then next-gen console would’ve absolutely been welcomed, in my book.

LoveSpuds430d ago

I can only assume the the Gears of War Remaster flopped so they decided to scrap the other remakes?

Seems short sighted to me as I really enjoyed the 1st remaster. Regardless, I'll snap up some remakes to play on my PS5.

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
KicksnSnares1424d 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)

ChasterMies1423d 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.

Zombieburger6381423d ago

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

darthv721424d 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.

Jericho13371424d 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.

Om4ever1423d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad1424d 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.

LoveSpuds1424d 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

What's the best Gears of War game for players? Where to start? This guide should easily lend a hand.

Old McGroin1557d ago (Edited 1557d 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...

Neonridr1557d 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.

ChasterMies1557d 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.

Knightofelemia1558d 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.

monkey6021558d 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.

lucian2291557d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares1558d 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

RetroCaptainSteve1558d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares1558d 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.

Profchaos1558d 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

Viljong1558d ago (Edited 1558d ago )

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

myfathersbastard1558d 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
