GEARS OF WAR COLLECTION BEING TESTED NOW, IT’S CLAIMED

​

For a while now, Gears of War fans have been on the edges of their seats waiting eagerly for news of the ‘Gears Collection’, a much-rumoured, reportedly in-development collection of classic Gears of War games recreated in Unreal Engine 5. Recently, during an episode of The Infinite Podcast, it was claimed that the Gears Collection is being internally tested by The Coalition, which has been creating Gears of War games since 2015’s Ultimate Edition of the first title.

‘Gears of War’s MCC’​

It has been said online that the Gears Collection would be Gears of War’s Master Chief Collection, bringing together all the classic games and seeing them remastered – or potentially rebuilt. There isn’t much known about the collection, but it’s suspected that it will include the Ultimate Edition, Gears 2, 3, 4, and Judgment recreations.

This information was circulated on Twitter by user Idle Sloth following a captured clip from The Infinite Podcast, during an episode which also saw claims surface that 343 Industries has had a hand working on the Indiana Jones game.

It was further claimed that The Coalition continues to work on an all-new IP away from Gears of War. It’s not at all known when the highly rumored Gears Collection might surface, but if it’s being tested now, it’s in a playable state – and if those playtests go well, it could be delivered within the next few months.

Gears of War Collection Being Tested Now, It's Claimed - Insider Gaming

Day 1 purchase, no questions!

 

[Calverz]

In the words of Marcus fenix, “shit yea!”

 

[Mr Hyde]

Cool. Will buy this if it's remakes. Only played the second one, and only in co-op.

 

[Sybrix]

Gears Of War was such a HD-era defining game.

Xbox 360 is Gears and Halo 3, such good times.

The last time an actual generational jump was achieved tbh.

 

[rofif]

Hell yes. Just include original gow release in there. No this ultimate shit

 

[ManaByte]

Cool. Will buy this if it's remakes. Only played the second one, and only in co-op.

Well the first one is definitely a remake since that's already available.

Hell yes. Just include original gow release in there. No this ultimate shit

It's the same game, just with updated graphics.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Meh, I remember replaying the og trilogy + Judgment a few years ago and they still held up really well. Maybe I'll play it in Game Pass one day, but definitely not thinking about buying it again.

 

[Darkness_Arises]

I haven't seen an uglier AAA game protagonist, WTF are Playground games thinking?
On topic, I hope this release is better than the half-baked MCC.

 

[Tsaki]

What a shitty source. But it would be cool for the PS5/Switch crowd to get acclimated on the Gears IP

 

[ManaByte]

You create your own character in Fable. The trailer character was meant to be a joke. Those who have played Fable understood that.

 

[Desless1]

Day 1 if true. Such a great game series. Always in for a new chronological runtime.

 

[Senua]

UE5 or bust

If I remember correctly, this character was modeled to look like someone from the dev team, so...yeah.

 

[Beechos]

A remaster of a remaster that's was already good smh. Do a full on remake instead.

 

[DenchDeckard]

 

[LordCBH]

All the games are already playable on the console and look awesome. But fuck it. I’m down for this. I love the Gears series.

 

[Senua]

Awesome for PC though, which never got 2 or 3.

 

[Fake]

Gears 3 is damn good.

 

[Bartski]

Gears 1 made me buy a 360 and loved the trilogy back then but would I want to play a remaster of it today? Not really.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Guess I'll have to put my Gears 1 - 3 + Judgement playthrough on hold for the time being.

 

[Killer8]

If this can do for Gears what MCC did for Halo (*without any launch issues) then I am there.

There is something appealing about having an Xbox under the TV as a dedicated Halo, Gears and backwards compatible time capsule.

 

[Skifi28]

Never played gears 3, my 360 died way before. Looking forward to playing it on PC (or PS5 ).

 

[Banjo64]

I played Fable Anniversary a couple of years ago on Series S and don’t recall a character creation element and I’ve just looked online and can’t find anything about that either.

 

[WhereIzJP]

If true day 1 whatever the price is.

 

[Dazraell]

Awesome, was hoping for this for years. If it releases on Steam, will definitely buy it

 

[jm89]

What platforms though?

 

[Badlucktroll]

It’ll be fun to play on Switch 2.

 

[kittoo]

Day 1 if full remake.

 

[ManaByte]

The whole point of Fable is taking a character and it evolves good/evil over the course of the game. Fable 1 didn't allow you to choose male/female. But Fable II allowed you to chose male/female and III was prince/princess. The protagonist doesn't have a name. The idea is you're taking a blank slate character and making it what you what it to be over the course of the game through your actions, and they change appearance based on that.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Looking forward to seeing the Remake of Dom finding his wife.

 

[Chukhopops]

If it’s really MCC style I’m looking forward to the Horde playlists, will be really nice to switch gameplay style.

Not looking forward to all the garbage port begging posts though, I guess this is going to be in every Xbox thread now…

It's the same game, just with updated graphics.

And worse on all fronts. Worse graphics style and weird audio mix. The footsteps in ultimate edition are so loud. It’s buggy.

 

[Lupin3]

I'm in! 101%. I need those Gears 2 maps.

 

[rofif]

And gears1 ultimate just doesn’t look in line with 2 and 3.
I liked to play all 3 and see how they improve.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I remember playing online co-op with my best friend, seeing that scene and busting up laughing how bad that shit was for Dom. Totally didn't see it coming. In 3 Dom didn't give a fuck anymore about anything.

Bro had it worst

 

[YuLY]

I've waited to finish this trilogy as a PC gamer since 2008 after I played the first. Finally.

Games from a bygone era where you had 6h tight campaigns with no bloat and good stories. They are literally no longer making this type of games, at least on the AAA level.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Bro had it worst

Yeah in 3 he was rocking a rugged beard after that.

Well you don’t create the character then. It just changes appearance based on your decisions. So the trailer wench is going to be in the game, probably as the female (or only) character.

Believe whatever you want. It's not like you were even going to touch the game in the first place.

 

[Robb]

I’ll keep an eye on it but I don’t really like how the characters control like tanks. Way too heavy and slow. Doubt they’ll change that.

 

[Banjo64]

Believe whatever you want. It's not like you were even going to touch the game in the first place.

sounds like I know more about Fable than you but ok mate

 

[Perrott]

It would make for a great shadowdrop at E3, for the summer.

Damn, Xbox is about to have an insane 2024 between this and Hellblade, Avowed and Indiana Jones, plus much more niche releases such as Ara, Flight Sim or Towerborne.

 

[dotnotbot]

PS version day 1

 

[LordCBH]

You create your own character in Fable. The trailer character was meant to be a joke. Those who have played Fable understood that.

When have we ever made our own fable character? 1, 2, and 3 was a choice between a boy or girl. That’s it.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Been wanting this for a while, Sony please do the job on Killzone and Resistance aswell.
