Poll Who else is excited for Gears of War 4? (241 votes)
I haven't been the utmost excited about Gears of War 4. I knew I was going to get it, but the first look, with the new characters, I just felt like I was going to have to get used to the characters (characters which I didn't know if I cared to get used to), and playing a very similar game to the past games. While that hasn't necessarily changed, more info, and more footage being released of the games campaign, be it Marcus Fenix being in it; you fight robots for a change, and just now, watching the twenty minute intro, it has me pumped. I am a big fan of the Gears of War campaigns. I have two of the novels, and know the cliff notes version of them because my brother went through them, and I read about a quarter the way through both myself, but I kind of want to go through them in their entirety now.
Anyways, the twenty minute video impressed me; it is basically more Gears, but it seems to be even more cinematic in and out of the game. It's minor, but a moment you're running toward a dilapidated street, and cars are driving past as war goes on made me raise my eyebrows, surprised by the tech behind it, and noticing the last-gen Gears probably couldn't do that in such fashion, as well as the latter part where there are Corpser's, Brumak's, and Drones all coming toward you was impressive and daunting. Furthermore, in the intro part, you fight the UIR, other humans, which were the opponents to the COG in Pendulum Wars, and that's not something that had been represented in the games.
