It looks like development on Gears of War 4 is going well as the game will now be releasing slightly earlier than expected. During a live stream this week, Microsoft revealed that the Xbox One exclusive would now be launching in ‘Fall 2016', rather than the holiday season.
This means that Gears of War 4 could end up launching at a similar time to Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, which launched at the end of August in 2015. Microsoft seems to have high hopes for its exclusive as well, claiming that 45 percent of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition were new to the series.
We will actually get our first look at Gears of War 4 in the Spring when the multiplayer beta launches, which those who own Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will have first dibs on.
At first, Gears of War 4 was thought to be a Xbox One exclusive and while that does seem true for the time being, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is heading to the PC so it is possible that Microsoft is planning on bringing future games over as well.
KitGuru Says: I played a lot of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition last year so I'll be looking forward to Gears 4 later this year. However, I do hope that Microsoft will bring the franchise back to the PC following this sequel. Did any of you play a lot of Gears of War back in the day? Would you like to see Gears 4 come to PC or will you be playing on Xbox?
Feels like Microsoft needs studios as creative as the ones Sony seek out, even if you’re not a fan of them you have to admit games like Bloodborne and The Last of Us do a good job at standing out and being original, I like Gears of War 1-3, the story is a bit conveluted I feel, but it was interesting enough to keep me locked in, Judgement was just a huge waste of time, and I doubt GoW4 will be any better.
They’ve need that since the 360 days.They don’t have exclusives that stand out compared to what Nintendo and Sony offer, and it’s hurting them even more now.
Why don’t you think 4 will be better than Judgement exactly?
I mean bloodborne is just dark souls, with a different art style. Last of us is quite good but in the end it is just a survival game (not really that original). There is nothing wrong with releasing a gears 4.
I haven’t played much Dark Souls, despite owning both of them on Steam, but from the little I have tried the core idea might be similar, but there is quite a difference between them and Bloodborne. The Last of Us you could also say it’s technically just a Zombie game, and while that’s true the presentation is quite good.
I agree there’s nothing wrong with releasing GoW 4, I’m just saying as a consumer I’m bored with the series, and I doubt I’m alone. We have Quantum Break and Scalebound to look forward too, and I hope they’ll have a strong narrative.
