Epic has announced Fortnight that i can remember, dunno if there's an "unannounced project" or they are keeping it more quiet.

Sooooo... what did you guys think {Gears 4} ? Went to have lunch downtown Vancouver. Was pretty fun to hear dev conversation in the street about it.

Environment looks good, but I'm not really fond of the creature design.

After part 3 I'm done with Gears. I watched this but it just doesn't excite me anymore. Maybe I'm turning into @dux!

Let's demo a game where it is night so you can't see FUCK ALL

Darkness aside, graphics don't look so impressive, which for a flagship title is not very promising to start.

I think Gears was incredibly fun, but I'm still bitter cos I was never able to finish the first one on PC, due to the fucking GFWL that lost my saves three times before my computer died.
It's a shame because at least in MP I had a very good time, I was motivated to learn UE at the time to make some maps, but MS never nourished the game on Windows

This was a long but very interesting read about the remaster and the franchise in general. Highly recommended.

"It’s clear that this Vancouver-based studio is a key part of the Xbox platform — Gears of War’s heavy presence in Microsoft’s recent E3 press conference says as much"

I wouldn't describe "heavy presence" when we only saw a (bad) gameplay section... I'll read the rest later.

I played the game for about 20 minutes. It looks gorgeous, it plays very fluently and it's really a Gears game. But, that was also the problem. Because after about 5 minutes the novelty wears off and it feels like more of the same. This doesn't matter for new players but those that have been there since start, might find it repetitive pretty quickly.

From what I've seen looks beautiful but the only-at-night setting think is boring.

Also the new characters seem quite bland.

 I definitely feel like playing a game like Gears, I mean I need something violent and without need of brainpower; I would rather pick up the remasters since I never finished the first.

Did you play at GamesCom, Sprony?

I'm hoping people will be pleasantly surprised by the game. Watching videos of someone play it's easy to be "yep, looks like Gears" but I'm hoping when people get their hands on it they remember just how fluid and fun Gears core gameplay is. Epic did a really amazing job and I think it's still best-in-class even now when I play other more contemporary 3rd Person Shooters.

I still need to play some of the campaign, only played the multiplayer stuff so far. Its good stuff so far though.

I wish they would release the SDK like for the first one

Yes, I played it at Gamescom (private session). Like I said, it's pure Gears gameplay.
