Man, I love Gears and there is no need to already criticize, people. The games were very, very much fun (I even enjoyed Judgment in some way) and they pushed the hardware to the limit, for sure!
If this turns out to be as good as it ever was I will be tempted to buy the console just for this game - if the console is below 300 euros at that time

How can you resist until then?

Yay opinions~

Really though, if Uncharted had nothing but cinematics going for it i doubt its popularity would be growing with every release. That's an achievement not even the gears trilogy can boast.

What this shows us is Gears declining popularity. Gears 3 is the lowest selling in the numbered series, and Judgement is just...yeah. 

Uncharted on the other hand is growing, as you can see by the huge boost from Uncharted 1 to 2 and then Uncharted 3 has achieved similar sales to 2 in a much shorter period. Not counting Golden Abyss, as it's on another handheld, however 1.16M sales on a 7M system is something to brag about.

Just a game comparison Cone.
Gears 4 will be very pretty

This thread had 4 reports from around 16 comments. That's a pretty high hit ratio if you ask me.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

You spin it however you want it.

Gears remained popular and a flagship to Xbox even though it wasn't first party.

Judgement was not done by Epic. Imagine if it was...

Good! Now, just make the damn game much better than Judgment gameplay-wise........please!
