The negative impression left by Gears 5 sure is amplified by the positive response to E-Day.
Of course social media cultivates a binary environment - but I don’t think 5 ‘sucked’. It wasn’t a bad game.
This new-ish team at TC going back to the roots emphasises just how bloody hard it must’ve been to follow a masterpiece of a trilogy.
We may not have agreed with many of the decisions, but 4 & 5 were still honed and crafted by super talented people that made something good, but not great.
Game development is intricate and extremely difficult. I don’t think we should be tearing the old team apart and diminishing work they spent years of their lives on.
Regardless, it’s a great time to be a Gears fan again. 🙏⚙️
