Game play looks like ...well looks like Gears but goddamm is it pretty. Seems like 6 years into this generation and developers are just starting to show us what what they can really do with these machines.

I saw on Twitter that here was a last minute decision to pull support for PlayStation. Was that true?

Gears is a guilty pleasure. My mind tells me that its a rehash, but I'll end up playing it anyway.

It looks like they have at least tried to add some new movement features but yea Im not seeing a lot that differentiates from the core gameplay of the other games. I guess you've tired of them. I have somewhat as well., but just getting to see and fight in a Sera city getting torn apart by the locust invasion has an appeal.

Yeah im in for this alone. I gave negative fricks about the 4 and 5 stories, glad they wised up and gave us a compelling narrative again

$400M budget for this

Even if it wasn't on Gamepass, this had a 0% chance of touching that. With Gamepass and no PS5, this will be lucky to break 4M units sold

I love the Gears games. They're all solid imo. Didn't care for the "open world" aspects of the most recent one. Hopefully they don't try to replicate that.

Gears of War: E-Day has sold 120K copies on Steam for nearly $7M (@alineaanalytics estimates)

It’s sold under 20K in the last six weeks despite launching this week in early access, so the pre-launch curve is soft (but it’s increasing a bit).

Gears is a far more niche IP than Call of Duty (450K Steam copies pre-sold), of course. Launch-aligned, E-Day has already sold more than double what Halo: Campaign Evolved did on Steam, but it’s well behind Wardogs (which was on 567K at this point pre-launch, versus Gears‘ 120K, and roughly triple the revenue).

Realistically, in this window, 1M on Steam this year for E-Day is a stretch, and most of the Xbox revenue will be eaten up by Game Pass. That said, some superfans will cough up the extra $30 to play earlier.

In my view, they shouldn't have cancelled that PlayStation port. It would have added some much-needed extra revenue, the port was reportedly already in the works, and Gears isn't necessarily a console-seller anymore.

I can see a port coming at some point.
