For now let’s return to the single player, and its choice of main character. If all those new features weren’t good enough, there’s a shiny new class-based multiplayer as well, but I’ll get to that later. Yep, we’ll be returning to the end of the trilogy to plug some gaps after People Can Fly’s prequel tale. In fact it could well have been DLC in of itself, but here it is for free.Ĭalled Aftermath, it follows Baird and Cole during their time away from the main plot in Gears of War 3. ![]() At the very least it will be the size of a decent DLC pack, and it comes at no extra cost. Accumulate 40 of these stars as you progress through the campaign and you’ll unlock an entirely new bonus campaign! How big or how long this additional campaign will be wasn’t confirmed, but it’s sizeable enough to warrant existence as an unlockable. These challenges greatly affect your end of mission ranking, another new addition to the franchise. During the time I spent with the game these changes were represented by different enemy types, environmental changes, time limits, and the use of specific weapons. By accepting these and “declassifying” the mission, Baird’s testimony will reveal more about what happened. You play through what happened as Baird relays his testimony to moustachioed Colonel Ezra Loomis.Įach portion of a mission comes with an additional challenge, represented by a large glowing cog symbol. Summoned to a war tribunal as battle continues to rage against Locust, Kilo Squad stands accused of treason. Set shortly after Emergence Day and over a decade before the start of the original Gears of War, the game follows Lieutenant Damon Baird, Private Augustus Cole and the rest of Kilo Squad. These new features aren’t simply cosmetic they alter the classic Gears experience from the very first moments of the game’s story. Epic were there with us the entire time, in fact by the time we were rolling it was almost like one-upmanship, we were both suggesting features, half implemented at Epic, half at People Can Fly, we were giving feedback on each other’s stuff.” “It couldn’t just be a clone,” said Epic Games’ Lead Designer Jim Brown. It’s a prequel, it’s a spin-off and well, to be quite honest, it could well be the best Gears of War yet. Across three games of chest-high walls and over-the-top violence, Epic Games barely put a foot wrong, constantly providing the best visuals and the very best in cover-based gameplay.Įpic remain heavily involved, but it’s People Can Fly leading development on Judgment. ![]() Of all the great new IPs that found success during this console cycle, Gears of War is certainly up there for its consistent quality if nothing else. Is this really needed? Will it just be a cash-grab? Where’s the Pendulum Wars game we so badly want?
