Yeah, though you can’t just do the same visual for five games in a row because people will get bored too soon of that
and that’s basically what people want here

Speak for yourself
No,
You got both parts wrong.
Customisations itself isn’t bad, no, but it’s very much Fortnite like, especially with the Emotes.
Also,
Graphically, it’s very Cartoon like for sure.
If they would have kept the same drab brown and grey colors of the 360 era people would have complained.
Developers are in a no win situation. If they change something, gamers complain. If they don’t change anything, gamers complain.
I guess what Im really trying to say is, gamers are whiners.

You can also misunderstand that people drawing negative comparisons is not “whining”.
Gears can have its own identity without “copying” other games.
It’s undeniably Cartoon like and even the Gore is disappointing.

Also things like the Emotes (those poses like thumbs up, is that what they’re called?) and the graffifi-art blood splatters just add to the cartoon-y appearance.

Yeah,
The Emotes for sure,
The Blood Sprays, I haven’t actually seen how the work.
I turned off the Kill Cam and it was a laggy, buggy mess so hopefully if I execute someone the spray is there and visible.
But for sure,
I agree.

Yeah I agree, Gears of war should drop all the silly weapon/character skins like all AAPE, DOTD, zombie characters, colorblast, and all those extra meaningless skins that’s don’t even fit the franchise in any way, shape or form lol
A lot of the flashy weapon/character skins are atrocious, plain and simple. All y’all sayin it doesn’t matter in multiplayer? Then you must play fortnite or something COD because visuals do matter. I can’t believe there isn’t more people complaining about all the hideous skins.
Gears of war multiplayer could be so much more than a colorful mess of meaningless skins.
Imagine if TC created an armor customization system instead of all the silly weapons skins and characters. Obviously there could still be core/rare/legacy skins, but imagine an additional feature on the menu to customize your own gear/uir solider. It could all be done in game progression. Maybe there could be some armor pieces that you could unlock through playing different campaigns or from just playing previous gears games.
The armor customization could be sort of like “Halo Reach” with the armor choosing and etc.
The only problem with Gears is that they dont have enough variants of armor/helmets for cog and uir because it’s still something I feel TC REALLY NEEDS to flesh out. If the TC went back in the lore and created more variants in those eras then Gears would be better because then the whole game would feel more fleshed out with all these supporting variants that would give the game more life/a role/a direction.
A good example is the comics, I’ve seen Helmets and armors in the comics that I’ve never seen before in Gears MP, like an onyx guard with onyx plated e day helmet with onyx black pendulum wars body armor… lol but NOOO nowadays we don’t get onyx guards… we get forced bLACk SteEl smh.
My point is Gears could go a whole other route that would make sense for the franchise and would add depth to the lore and could have endless possibilities.
As for right now. This game has to endure all the horrendous skins that have been plaguing the multiplayer since Gears 3. Gears 2 doesn’t count because Gold was really the only skin at that time and even now I’ll admit even the Gold skins are getting tacky.
I want realistic weapon skins that fit the franchise. There’s only a few in Gears 4, it’s sad.
-King Raven
-UIR Skins
-custom lancer
-Carmine lancer ex. (it’s realistic for clay to put grub killer on his guns and I even like the zombie Carmine lancer because it still says grubkiller it just looks like he painted on it). Yeah but I don’t like zombie characters because Dead bodies walking look dumb on the battlefield/ I could see if you were heavily Battle Damaged, but NA You dead homie.
And I want more Character Variants that are actually Gears related like more generic cog/onyx guard/uir soliders from pendulum wars/early locust war. Also I want generic soldiers to have voice/tone selection. I really loved the tone of gears 3 onyx guard.
TC I want creativity in ideas like this but instead you give me bape. It makes a Gears fans real sad.

Yeah, I’ve always said that the generic COG soldiers should should have different variants. We’ve seen little glimpses like the NCOG Marines; Medics; and the Carmine brothers having different helmets. They could easily create some different armour variants based around say, the old Horde classes. Or to reflect a particular role like Sniper, Close Quarter Combat, Heavy Weapons etc.
The Heavy for example could have a grenade bandolier, bullet belt, and some Dropshot rounds attached to their belt as an example.
The Scout could have shotgun shells attached to a forearm bracer, have a PDA display on their other forearm, and a knife sheath on their body.
And so on and so forth. Each class could have a slightly different helmet design.

Yeah I agree with you. I like your variant ideas, keep pushing those too. I like how you identify each gear as a specific type like Sniper, heavy, close quarters combat and see I can also add to your list, with variants like KR Pilots, Centaur Drivers, KR Door Gunners, Recon, Commandos, Vanguards, Onyx guard Medics, Onyx guard (CO) officers. TC could pump out some many different cool concepts if they just sit down and take the time to create more variants like ncog marine and medic.
TC could go so in depth with cog soldier variants even with the onyx guards and uir soldiers. Like dude the Locust has so many variations of locust even down to palace guards/ and a whole guard of Theron’s lol. I’m pretty sure there has to be some chance of us getting more variants for cog/onyx guard/ cog medics/and the UIR
Aye, Imagine onyx guard variants bro. Like Imagine how cool that would be too see multiple variations within the onyx guard other than just standard onyx guard. Like for ex loomis and Prescott had interesting armor that was onyx armor but another rank of onyx armor.
Bro lol what if we got an onyx guard with Tai’s Gears 2 shoulder plate that could really be amazing to see.
Like the Onyx guard could rock 2 massive onyx shoulder plates.
Basically, Onyx guard heavy with reinforced helmet and body armor that’s able to with stand heavy gun fire. I think it would be cool to see more unique armor.
TC could also do variations of cog Medics/ long sleeved/maybe even a different helm/ even an onyx guard medic with the medical insignia in black/silver, onyx guard medic could also have unique design.
I feel like all the helms/armor could have slight or even some drastic variation based off their roles/jobs/positions in the military.
TC could also take it up a notch with UIR variants. Paduks armor was pretty cool for a Major, and also the standard UIR armor/ the standard UIR elite armor in gears 4 mp was cool too.
I can only imagine how more variants would look for the UIR and I would really enjoy seeing more content of this caliber like unique helmets/ armor designs for the UIR. It would be appreciated x50000
I don’t mind them at all, even if I wouldn’t use them.
Ok, colourblast is a little too far but the rest are good to have.
Yeah I understand that is your opinion to like those skins but isn’t their at least a part of you that misses that Gears 1 rawness.
Like I miss feeling immersive situations but a lot skins take away from those moments.
Imo Gears would be more successful without flashy skins in multiplayer
Like you see don’t see a franchise like Star Wars throwing in rainbows and flames into their multiplayer customization. Star Wars tends stick within their realm and it’s probably the reason they’ve grown to have such a large fan base.
I want Gears to be on those Big Boy levels but ik it’s hard to do that without more resources and funding.
Maybe there’s a reason TC add all these silly skins is to gain more profit for the franchise but tbh imo it seems like wasted resources that could of been put into something else.
I just want to see grittier designs for Gears. It seems like they held back in gears 4. I’m really excited for 5 and I hope it turns out to be a really good
No,
I don’t miss the Gears 1 Rawness because for MP, it looks really bland.

Gears 1 only bland because there’s no flashy weapon skins?
I think a better trade off would be armor customization.
You’d be able to visually see ranks on armor and people would be able to have multiple variations of helmets/armor instead of silly skins that don’t serve a purpose.
Ultimately Gears would feel more authentic this way.
Gears 1 was fine in its day.
But playing Gears 4 or 5 with standard skins and weapons was definitely bland and lacking variety.
Anyway,
You don’t like it, keep it simple - doesn’t mean you should take away from the game something that doesn’t impact you tbh and 99.99% of people actually use in game.
Cmon man the game ain’t out yet. For what it is worth I KNOW the coalition is gonna work really hard for this game and that it will have a lot more heart and soul than any of the free to play garbage that is dominating right now

No need? Lol, come on. That was just an example, Gears animations in general are extremely outdated and the lack of detail for an AAA exclusive game is crazy.
Artistically speaking, the game is no longer awesome as it used to be. And in terms of gameplay I honestly can’t understand how copying aspects of CoD and Fortnite can be considered as “evolve” or something “fresh”
