Gears 4 has so many great things going for it

Lets be honest. It is EPIC who made Gears series so great.

It is always the team behind the game that matters. Last time Epic handed the project to People Can Fly, you know how game turned out.

Just look at Halo made by Bungie and Halo made by 343. Objectively speaking, just looking at Metascore, you have plummet in game quality.

Already looking at game beta and people's feedback of it. It has not many things going for it.

I hope its great, but lets be honest dev's always think their storylines (whole game) is great. Don't want to be a downer but I much prefer dev's shut up these days, just show us great gameplay trailers, let folks decide, make it available for reviews a week early, and then launch the damm game.

That said so far Gears 4 looks amazing.

That's like saying that The Force Awakens was a bad movie because we knew there were two more parts announced before the first one released. We knew there would be plot twists and cliffhangers there, but in your instance I understand you perfectly, it's because it's a Microsoft product.

@thecommentator

That is a pretty horrible analogy. Not every film that has a sequel has a plot twist or even a cliffhanger...I never said anything about cliffhangers by the way so I'm not sure where that comes from. In fact, your analogy actually strengthens my original argument...there was a big event towards the end of TFA that many people weren't told to expect in advance, which made it work much better for those who were unaware. Unexpected events & full plot twists simply work better when you are unaware of their upcoming presence. Common sense that is.

I honestly don't see how any sane person who enjoys games, books or films would actively want to be spoiled beforehand in a steady trickle of plot point after plot point. I've always gotten more enjoyment from everything by going in cold. I guess 9 people just love spoilers?

It has nothing to do w/ MS, I'd say the exact same thing about Uncharted 4, a Sony game I really enjoyed but the marketing just revealed too much. Same here, Gears still looks great, but I guarantee a similar situation plays out for many gamers, trailers & marketing just reveal too much these days across the board. Has nothing to do w/ fanboy bias, so maybe check your own at the door & actually try to "comprehend what you read"

In your instance of defending anything that could ever be considered anything other than glowing praise for everything MS in existence, I understand why you have no real opinion on the matter but are quick to dismiss anyone else's....it's because it's a Microsoft product.

PhysX is owned by nVidia for exclusive implementation on their GPUs only just like their propriety Hairworks. AMD might have similar solutions for them but if a title uses these properties specifically, then AMD cards will not have them. "CPU based" LOL dude, this is not your normal physics, it's PhysX!

This is kinda surprising though. With native DX12 support and AMD based system in the Xbone, going anything nVidia is kinda weird. Will be annoying seeing "The Way It's Meant to be Played" shown everytime we launch the game on PC later. Sigh...

Edit:

Of course the CPU can also run PhysX but usually not to a very good effect like the GPU does. So you think Coalition will go half-assedly with this? And you think nVidia wouldn't want to prioritise their GPU for this too? Especially now that their market share is down and their GPU shipment was down like 20% last quarter?

@badz149: PhysX has been running on CPUs for a very long time. Educate yourself

Yup! Maury is going to give the results...

Darth is his father!

yep yop yup pep
