this game looks on point. the smg seems really powerful at close range though, thats some retro lancer down time at 01:11. digging the deebees sniper though, that is gona be a monster in the right hands.
minor complaint, i wish they wernt called deebess. what a stupid fuckin name
ffs. they look too similar for my liking. a great thing about gears is being able to instantly separate friend from foe, now im going to be second guessing myself.

who look to similar? ousiders/cog are blue'green variants, and swarm deebes, pale/red variants, i dont think there would be a problem
aslo DeeBees is probably a nickname that the people on sera gave to them

I think I'll be playing as Swarm myself - I like me some monsters.

deebees armour looks very similar to cogs to me. i would prefer deebess to have black armour plates instead of silver.
problem with swarm is they dont have the locust personality. locust would have that menacing laugh after u headshot someone & in between rounds the queen will provide amazing soundbites like 'i am not ur queen, u are nothing'.
hoping gears 4 gets some more of those classic sound bites like marcus saying 'scratch one grub' or carmine yelling 'thats what i live for!!' and of course cole trains 'the cole train runs on whole grain baby yeah!!' it really adds to the game. just listen to this

I am sure there will be different skins for them like with the other characters. Hoping for a jet black (Onyx) variant of the DeeBees.

Damn... I need this game. Did they add more people in the multiplayer? This guy was taking them out left and right..seemed like 5on5.

I really wish this had PC / Xbone cross-play for competitive. Just force you to use an Xbox One controller if you matchmake in cross-play. Just worried the PC community will dry up quickly
I don't think there's any way you could force someone to use a controller on pc. People wI'll always find a workaround. The gears ue community dried up quickly because it was a bad port and launch and launched really late. I think this will have a good community on pc with all the features it has and the marketing push.

This game will have cross-play multiplayer between PC and Xbox One right? I'm worried about population if they are split.

Everything just looks so great, can't wait to play again.
This looks amazing! Now I kinda regret not playing the open beta.

I hope not. Xbox players would have a huge disadvantage playing against M&K users.

Only Coop is cross play. That means campaign, horde, or being on the same team against bots.
Competitive mp modes are NOT cross play

Only co-op crossplay unfortunately. Essentially campaign and Horde only. At least if nothing Horde will thrive.

I'm so excited for this game! Cannot wait to jump into a fresh Gears; it's been too long. UE was fun and all, but I personally miss the tightness in the controls from the Gears 4 beta.
I hope so too.

We are looking at privates for versus and crossplay as well.

If Gears 4 is a UWP game, can't MS just use their evil walled garden techniques to force only controllers for versus?
Do it!

Just give the option for people on Xbox One to play against PC players or not (and vice versa)
.Just give the option for people on Xbox One to play against PC players or not (and vice versa)
Yep. This. Just give us the toggle.
To be fair those people will still complain about being rekt by MKB.
Look at all the people who manually enroll in Xbox Preview Dashboard and then complain that it breaks things or updates take them out of games too often.

Precision weapons like snipers, pistols, or magnums
With the way people move? gl
Even i played the first gears on pc with a 360 controller..i played gears 4 at gamescom on PC the controls are seamless between mouse+keyboard and xbox one controller i prefer playing with controller though.
So yeah cross play in versus against xbox one players should be done as well.

So brutal, love it! Tempting to pick this up at launch now that titanfall 2 doesn't appear to be shaping up to what I wanted it to be...

Yeah that does make sense. As long as the population on Xbox One holds that would be awesome. Can't wait for this, about to preorder the ultimate edition.

Lol that execution is funny
Heh. True.
Thank-you. Big help!
Best part of that execution isn't even in the gif - when the DeeBee walks away with the blood from the splatter all over it.
So good.
Interesting.

I'm not sure if I want XBO v PC competitive play if I'm honest.
Having both ranked and social playlists killed population numbers in the previous games - particularly Gears of War 3 because of an overabundance of game modes.
A toggle would just create a divide and drive down player numbers in each pool.
We've finally got rid of that (I think?) with core and competitive being attached to specific game modes.
I'm also not totally convinced PC players couldn't find a way to exploit the system.

We are getting some sort of Halo system now for online right?
Must say i am against shooters wich combine PC and consoles for versus. But imo Gears is the only game i dont mind for it as i think the PC guys dont have that huge advantage gameplay wise. Because Gears is so different then alot of other shooters.

So does my profile transfer from the Xbox one to the PC? In other words can I play Campaign and Horde on my PC but then do competitive on my Xbox One and have all my unlocks / progress across both?
Mr.Fletcher
Member
Yeah, we've got an online ranking system similar to Halo now.
And I agree, I don't think console players would be at much of a disadvantage.
I believe so, yes.
I mean, the toggle could be applied as part of a series of search criteria for matchmaking, like Halo (best connection, language, cross-play on/off, for example). I would never suggest that a cross-play switch removes Xbox players from the Xbox-only pool - only provide more options for better connections on a game by game basis, where Xbox players with cross-play ON can still be matched to all-Xbox games with people who have it turned OFF.
And social only, obviously.

Is this a remake of a Gears 3 map? I feel like i've seen this before.
Mr.Fletcher

I don't think it's bad idea. I have no strong feelings either way and the more options the better I suppose.
If it's done right, I'd be happy to see it included.
It has some similarities to Mercy from Gears of War 3.
I think it's unlikely to happen. But hopefully we will see it supported in privates - that's a solid step forward.
