Based on the current dev stream, it doesn’t appear that the departure with Ryan was a smooth one. They haven’t even acknowledged it in the stream, whereas they made a pretty big deal for Rod. Makes you wonder.
It also looks like they’ve already filled in new roles to lead PVP and PVE.
So the guy is going from the CEO/Owner of his own studio to a MP design director? Sheesh, I didn’t know he was that hard up for a job.
I think it was because rod was the face of the company
He never said that he wanted to be anything more than a consultant. Either way we don’t need him or want him
Yeah but to not even acknowledge your Director of MP leaving is pretty telling.
Maybe the don’t like him
It’s possible he asked them not to.
lets hope those guys like Gears of War UE and 3 , if they do I think Gears 5 could work well in the future.
This reminds of right before Gears 3 last TU when suddenly Lee Perry disappeared, then, we lost Cliff B. and finally we got Quinn & Pete as their replacements.
Honestly, I don’t think it’s bad. Sure this opens opportunity for another dev to take a jab at it, but let’s be honest. Gears the franchise has been streamlined once Microsoft acquired, and MS has money to burn … so… honestly, Gears should be fine.
It would be nice if Lee and Cliff came back for a brief tenure… but only time will tell. Money talks last I heard. 
One more for the road.
Who flagged this lmaoo.
No idea, probably Clevens cleavage as it bounced in the wind and smacked his phone.
So he’s responsible for the aim assist in gears. Yup glad you’re gone. Who’s next
there are several types of aim assist and I believe all but maybe 1 existed before TC became the developers.
I guess you could say Ryan is responsible for aim assist being in the game because he didn’t remove it, but he’s not the one who put it there
Did he bring this extreme bullet magnetism though? It’s definitely much higher than previous games.
I honestly lost track of which aim assist is which. There was friction, magnetism, adherence maybe.
Was magnetism the one that stopped gnasher pellets from going between legs or under armpits?
I think it was the one that caused bullets that should have missed to pull towards the enemy and connect despite being misses.
It’s very obvious with a Longshot for example.
Aim Adhesion was the new one they added to Gears 5. Everything else was legacy.
Is that the one where your reticle would move towards an enemy? Never in my life until Gears 5 did I ever see my reticle follow an enemy who’s behind cover as he moved. It’s so bad.
