Gears 5 to have the largest campaign in series history

We haven't seen the exact same locations anymore since, actually barely a thing from SP. But it should be fine.
I don't need to know a thing about the story or anything. Just some footage would be great.
what's so funny about his comment?
I'm currently playing Judgment and is in fact a lot better (at least the first few chapters).
We've seen plenty of footage of escape. There aren't any more bullet sponge enemies than there are in previous Gears title. Not really sure where you got that from. Not sure where you got loot from either.
I haven't played the campaigns in Judgement or Gears 4, but I remember Coalition saying they played it safe with Gears 4 because it was the first "new" game and they didn't want to alienate fans from the get go.
Hopefully they take more experiments and risk with the campaign in Gears 5. We'll find out soon.
Judgment has the same horde style defense segments as Gears 4 and they're arguably worse than how 4 implemented them
I liked the robots. Not as the main threat, but as part of the overall package, I think they fitted into the framework well enough, aside from maybe the Guardians, whose shields made them a little annoying. The Trackers function weren't worlds apart from Tickers and mechanically I liked the idea behind having the bullet resistent DR-1 trying to force you out of cover, especially in its dying charging moments. Maybe their weapons felt too different for some Gears players, but it was never a problem to me. I even found their spawns to be pretty cool.
Wouldn't mind if they returned for a few sections in 5.

There's some cool lore stuff but it's that, whitewashing Cole, and the strange implications behind Bosak's disappearance in the Aftermath campaign that makes Judgment really, really bad in the campaign.
There was a rumour from a leaker here that said the environments areike 10x bigger then gears 4s, but take that with a grain of salt.
Health bars and damage numbers flying off the screen are straight out of loot shooters. Not very difficult to ascertain where I got that from.
That is annoying to see in Gears and I fully expect to see it in campaign as well. That's just how many AAA games work these days, being a mixture of modern trends in an attempt to appeal to everyone and to prolong playing time, which numbers and loot is a cheap way to do, but if we're lucky it doesn't affect campaign too much this time (It will probably be unavoidable in the end, but I expect the next Halo to take the full step first, with Gears 5 being just a small step - like damage numbers - in that direction).
Given how most campaigns outstay their welcome these days, this isn't a great thing for me personally.
I'd much prefer short, sharp, punchy 5-6 hour campaigns, even IF you're trying to 100% them personally.
But I'm sure that's just me.

I hope this also means a more epic scale, I want another Gears1-to-Gears2 jump in scale and epicness. Gears4 has a good campaign, but it's rather slow at the beggining and has some too-long sections IMO. It makes sense as it is a new start, but 5 needs to be more varied and epic if they want to match Gears 2 or 3.
Because judgement was a thing and already did the super safe sequel that no-one really wanted. The last thing the franchise needed was yet another super safe sequel...and yet gears 4 happened...plus fighting robots was litteral dogshit. They fucked up. I don't want gears 5 to take longer to complete and be THAT forgettable.
I don't think Judgment was safe. They fucked everything up with that one. And I agree that the robots were boring to fight. But everything else was good.
You can tell by some of the hot takes in this thread, how many are ready to pounce on the game.
I don't blame TC for holding campaign last.
More Gears is always welcome in my book. Currently playing thru Gears of War Judgment as I've never played it before and have the Gears itch.
Judgment was super safe? It changed quite a bit - from mobility to weapon limit to control scheme to completely upending the online meta. If anything, 4 playing it safe was a reaction to the reception of Judgment's changes.
Rob? Did Rod die and get replaced by his twin?
First Matt Booty was killed by a Snatcher at E3 and now this D:
Look at all these disingenuous folks "worried" about the campaign...who are so "worried" they've brought up God of War and I believe Death Stranding...2 single player games at that...what else would they show? Rod wasn't a fan of the campaign reveals last game but obviously has a say in how its presented this time. Maybe if you're actually interested in the campaign you can wait or watch the old stuff...
Speaking of old stuff....we're quite aware that you're "worried", and why. Give it a rest already...

I never played much of Judgment beyond the first level. What did they do to Cole?
