The Original Plan for Gears 6 REVEALED

[@KingAbzTV]

What do you guys think of the original Gears 6 plot? And which topics shall we discuss next for E Day?

[@mortara79]

simply, awesome

[@FranksCastle702]

Id like to consider whether EDay goes the melee/shooting hybrid like Space Marine 2 or if they keep it the standard GoW playstyle. The trailer suggested that a hand to hand style may be coming...worked well in Space Marine 2 but I know the Locust are much different than swarms of Terminids. Additionally, dynamic melee combat *could* get really bad like in Callisto Protocol (still a fun game IMO) so im really curious to see what they're cooking, playstyle wise. Given the tech theyre working with they have the chance to really play around with different game affordances. Im concerened the OG gunplay might not market well outside of the core fanbase...too many fun innovations out there right now.

[@FranksCastle702]

Plus, do they replace DiMaggio for a 'younger sounding' Marcus? God i hope not. When Metal Gear replaced David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland as Snake that was a crushing blow (Kiefer is good in his own way but Hayter IS Snake just like DiMaggio IS Marcus).

Yeah, it definitely sounds like they were creatively bankrupted if they were considering space for the sixth game . Almost sounds like what happened with Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th series, Taking him to space in his 10th movie. And in all honesty I feel like there was nowhere to go even after the third game. The only option they could was bring back the locust somehow.

Man, that plan to go into space would really suck, at that point, just make a Halo spin off, I feel that what really made gears of war gears, was how similar the war was to modern conflict in real life, just that bloody ground war that can decide the difference between life and death, the whole space thing would just throw a lot of that identity away and be more like Halo

@rel3ntless_433 the idea of “necessary changes comes from the mentality of someone who's happy where they are, yet being happy where you are won't assure you that a videogame franchise will be able to survive for long without having to change, Gears never stopped being Gears, despite what everyone claims, we still get strong protagonists, action and strategic gameplay, beautiful set designs and gore, those are the things that are Gears and have remained since day one, Gears never was about masculinity, or testosterone, or brotherhood, it was a always a gory action/strategy game, and even in space it's still Gears with all those elements.

[@riziqkamal6181]

In space? What are they gonna do in space!? THE LOCUST DIDN'T EVEN GET THERE SINCE E-DAY!! And if there was locust in space , they'd probably destroy HOD and do space invasion, which speed up the process of taking the humans out😅

[@FranksCastle702]

Taking it to space would decimate the franchise from having something uniquely intelligent to say which is that war is awful and destroys everything and everyone it touches. This was compelling and thoughtful back in the early 2000s when other games were saying the exact opposite or only mildly insinuating what Marcus clearly signals over and over again. Gears 6 should find an intelligent way to end the war which, in my reading of the game's overall tone and architecture, would have to come by Sera's complete obliteration. If devs wanna show some cajones, they need to take the 'war sucks' all the way to the extreme end. They've already ruined Bleszinski's vision with all this Swarm stuff so the merciful thing to do would regain the 'Mad World' motif and show people what happens if you let the Gears of War turn in perpetuity (Cheese metaphor but it works). If they leave Sera the franchise is dead and all that came before is wasted. If anything, do it for Dom...end it.

[@pandits6610]

I'm so excited for E-Day, I just hope it doesn't flop. Since this is most of humanity's first encounter with the Locust, I wonder what they will call them? The geist?

I’m a die hard fan I wanted so badly to love that game and speaking from a mechanical standpoint, there were things to like but I don’t just want a game to play well or look cool. I need it to tell an intriguing story and that game was slop. Just to find out we were going to go to space? That tells me everything about the writing, they didn’t know what to do. I’ll argue gears 4 had a better, if not somewhat tired but classic style story.

[@longlivetheblackmamba2-8-24]

@ execution meaning the designs, the fear factor , etc. I genuinely don’t get how none of y’all got the story. In gears 4 we’re learn the locust never died but evolved and they took humans and turned them into swarm soldiers. In the end we learned Reyna was treated differently from the rest. In gears 5 it’s explained the origin of the locust, the importance of a Queen for their guidance and the structure, and kait and her story was just a plot device to introduce the new Queen. Honestly I’m not sure where the space thing came from. Outside of going there to potentially do something to the hammer of dawn satellites for a mission or two I don’t see the point or reason to go to space. But that’s beyond the point

[@astrovarius543]

Crazy idea; Off the back of E-Day they reboot the series. Take it back to Gears 1 and take us down an alternate timeline with the original cast but different story. The backstory would all be the same, but from Marcus getting out of prison and onwards we could have a gradually diverging plot where new solutions are given for new (and old) problems. As much as I loved the original trilogy, the plot and events closed the series off too much from having an expansive future, which is in part how we ended up with a lot of the nonsense in 4 and 5. Retelling the story could revisit and alter events so the world and the series are open to more stories in a somewhat more prolonged war for the planet. Like not killing the locust off entirely, which to me seemed like a really bad move. Maybe I'm talking crazy here, and I think too many people would see it as walking over the original trilogy (not the intention). But, food for thought.

It’s funny Rod said “if you paid attention you’d see we were going to space” (paraphrased) because right around the time Gears 5 came out I was posting that the Scions should launch their own Locust space program and drive the COG underground for an epic Gears 6. Imagine a Swarm satellite with a giant imulsion crystal, which is constantly throwing meteors full of Swarm at the planet. Then 5’s DLC showed that Venom gas is extremely toxic to all life on Sera, but if the COG doesn’t use it then the Swarm will terraform the planet. So now the arms race is who can survive changing the atmosphere of Sera. I don’t think Rod would’ve ever pushed it that far, but if you’re going to space there needs to be a reason. And it would turn Sera into a reclaimed environment down the road, without going 100% Ragnarok.

i view gears of war in space the same as i view the sci-fi Call of duties, the fans HATED them....and then began complaining that the following CODS were basically the same game with only slightly different coats of paint i'm not saying don't be critical your favorite franchise and accept everything they give you, but if there not allowed to try new things the only logical outcome is replicative fading (when you try to clone and copy something so much if basically degrades to nothing)

[@longlivetheblackmamba2-8-24]

This!!!!

[@cibray89]

While I didn’t like the story of Gears 5 I still want them to finish the trilogy. It was so irritating the 343 never gave us Halo 6 and all the story was offscreen in books and comics I’ve played through the story of Halo Infinite twice and I still can’t remember what happened to Cortana and the created but I can give you a beat for beat retelling of the original trilogy. I don’t want Gears to end up the same way with no proper resolution to the story no matter how bad it was it should still be finished. It’s almost worse being left hanging than being disappointed.

[@saiyaneclipse3245]

I loved the old and new ones both are fun and loved the campaign for both games but I don't think Sera is done for

[@tomasmoffett5893]

So then is it true that gears 6 was canceled and E day is a reboot

[@joshpayne6119]

Gears 6 needs to be made after E-day, i get they wanted to do a game about E-day, and im massively looking forward to it, anything to make this world and the lore bigger, but they need to finish the second trilogy and i know they will as when they announced E-day there were fans concerned about gears 6 and they said they haven't moved on from the story they were telling, they just wanted to tell this E-day story first I personally loved both gears 4 and 5, i loved it as a continuation of the original trilogy and Judgement Side note, E-day will add to judgement in a way you cant imagine yet but yeah they will come back and do gears 6, it make more sense to do e-day first as doing E-day after 6 would feel wired, its a reason judgement suffered as when Judgement released people wanted to see a main 4th game, not a prequel, but yeah once E-day is done, we will go back to 6 and finish the second trilogies story Then after that yeah im sure we will get more spin-offs, i could very much see us getting a pendulum war or locust war game, or maybe even another game set during the locust war, after judgement but before gears 1, it was a 17 year long war after all

Gears of War 6 taking place in space would just end up being an Alien rip off. I pray they scrap the space concept and have a gears 2/4 style game where we attack the Swarms Nexus/Hive equivalent. Hivebusters was actually a lot of fun. The classes/perks, maps, modifiers and even the campaign was highly relaplayable. I got my group of friends to try it and they had a blast. The dialogue was a bit lacking for the campaign but the mission went hella hard. It felt more like a gears campaign than 5's honestly! I hope E-Day's development is going well, and management isn't lobotomized. We all saw the atrocious, infamous, franchise ender Halo Infinite and pray its failure and leadership isn't contagious. I also hope the DEI influence is kept to a minimum. Hope all is well Abz! 💪❤

[@SilverHyozanryu]

Wasn't going into space one of those scrapped ideas from the original trilogy ? I've never been a fan of the idea either way. I get it from a narrative perspective like Sera is a pretty wrecked planet, but abondining it feels like something our characters would never do. That said, if it was written well, there's alot of story potential there. Like leaving Sera to the swarm and what would happen to them, would they just live peacfully ? Would the cog regroup in space and plan an invasion to retake the planet years later ? Almost like a reverse e day ? Humanity attacking from the sky like how the locust attacked from underground.

[@kevingame3198]

What about the original plot of gears 6 if they went or go through with it this would’ve been the death of the series

[@JD_xcvi]

I just read the article last night I’m hoping they don’t go to this direction. Gears of war is one of the shooters that should be grounded, starting with E-Day is the right thing then if they end up doing a prequel series it’ll put gears back on the map & make fans new or old revisit the original trilogy

[@longlivetheblackmamba2-8-24]

Your right but At some point they gotta do something different. The same thing over and over gets old

[@oooo1110]

"Going into space"? 💀 BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH 😂 No wonder this guy got kicked out the back door. What a disgrace.

[@KingAbzTV]

💀💀💀

[@Rawr93]

[@coggear1135]

People are really overreacting right now. The in space type stuff was pretty bad but people acting like gears 4 and 5 was the worst games in existance. It really wasnt that bad and the idea of the locust not being completely killed when the imulsion was zapped from their bodies makes sense, and the idea that DeeBees would exist makes perfect sense considering nobody wants to sacrafice the lives of the few existing humans and they already was making robot technology.

[@longlivetheblackmamba2-8-24]

Agreed. I definitely did not expect a space mission for 6 but we don’t know the full extent of that. I think 6 has a lot potential imo.

[@chefyboy2748]

I'm not a very... serious(?) gamer, I don't keep an ear on game studios and stuff like that. Therefore, I just naturally assumed there wasn't any of the original GoW devs left in the Coalition. It's disheartening to find out that someone who worked on the early games was also the same person responsible for 4 and 5, considering my dislike for them. Yeah, the whole space idea is very off-putting for me. That would imply either the swarm is space fairing or there would be some new alien opponents. Both ideas are very ugh in my opinion. Yeah, I am excited for where they're taking the series now. The various ways they could explore the GoW world is very appealing. Maybe we could get a pure COG v UIR dlc someday! Or, a lot more niche of an idea, but maybe we could see some COG marines someday like I always harp on about. Lol

[@ILovemcdonalds470]

Honestly they need to rewrite kaita story after e day. Like maybe a time skip and make the swarm more terrifying and shit

[@Tay234.]

I would just have the locust/swarm win in the end since no matter what the humans do the locust/swarm just come back. I don’t like the idea of them leaving the planet. Doesn’t fit in my opinion. Maybe u can have them try to escape in the story mode but ultimately the locust/swarm destroy whatever plans they had so it leads to humanity’s final moments fighting the swarm which I would make the basis of the multiplayer aspect. Every mode n match in multiplayer is humanity’s final moment against the locust/swarm

[@DietWarlord]

Honestly it could've went to space eventually but they've turned it into a circus instead.

[@TheJak3up]

I say make 4 and 5 non cannon do a new story that starts right after 3 that wouldn’t hurt mine or the community feelings I think.

[@robaArmstrong]

Let’s hope when they make a real gears of war 6 we get his idea and not something entirely new because he’s the treyarch/bungie of gears of war

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

If I may ask, what would you change about Gears 4 and 5?

[@KingAbzTV]

Too long to comment, there’s a lot of critique videos on KZbin that I agree with

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

@KingAbzTV I imagine so

[@TastierLake9147]

Yea ngl, i’m REALLY glad they didn’t do this and i’m even more thankful that Rod is no longer there. This sounds absolutely horrendous. I’m praying E-Day is good cause this is their last shot, and i hope afterwards we turn down the path of other prequels or remasters, literally anything that isn’t back to 4/5.

[@jeremiahvollman3988]

plus i do agree with you tht Rob F shouldn’t of written the script for Gears 4 an 5.

[@lahementooskus6788]

You already know gears 6 would be the franchise's fate, war in space?? Cmon now...

[@gilberthidalgo8911]

Crazy scenario how long do yall think the gears and UIR can hold the line against the covenant in just a ground war. I'm just gonna leave out the space and naval combat

[@ceeza_thegrey]

Gears of War is, and always was, about fighting for survival. Transitioning into a space-themed game just ruins it all. Personally I've been quiet about this for too long, but the direction that they're heading, they're leading Gears to the dogs if they go ahead with that little chestnut. 😑 Either the humans fight to take back Sera, or let the grubs have it. Going to space will be weird since the Locust are only indigenous to Sera - nothing close, in the GEARS universe, will come that close to scary, underground-dwelling humanoid monsters! Space travel will just dim the culture of the game even more.

[@xXpureXxcurls]

Not sure how I feel about going to a different planet direction. Potential to get too heavy in the sci-fi aspects and lose some of the OG gears grittiness

[@particlepp]

Don’t care if Rod was there since the beginning. The whole going into space thing is simply ridiculous for a series like GoW. Damn shame the coalition put him in charge for 4&5, then he just left 😂

[@mr.skullfacegarcia775]

I gotta be honest with you guys. I'm very glad they did not go with that story. This is why he hated the stupid. The locust evolved and adapted thing because if they can just do that, then the gears gang can never win.

[@GHETTAWHIZZARD]

Love Rod but I wish we could just scrap gears 4 and 5 😂 the graphics were great and the mechanics were so much better than judgement but I didn’t care for any new characters or enemies. The space direction would have felt out of place tbh

[@Carminelover]

[@kizaruthegreat]

as much as i want to give xboxfans this game as an exclusive. the old gearsfan in me really wants to see this series come to playstation. after the 360 never really wanted an xbox anymore and remained on ps. and seeing how many games are going multiplatform that isn't gonna change in the future.

[@KingAbzTV]

yeah i really wonder what will happen with all that

[@longlivetheblackmamba2-8-24]

When PlayStation start giving Xbox fans they games then we can talk. I don’t think it’s fair should go to PlayStation just cuz you don’t want to buy an xbox
