🚨Our FULL discussion on that huge Gears of War E-Day reveal at the Xbox Showcase is OUT NOW.
Have you stopped crying yet?
We've got plenty to say as we chat about the news, how we reacted to the trailer, and what this could mean for Gears moving forward. LFG.
#GearsofWar
Isn't it funny how not a single 'xbox insider' or 'leaker' ever mentioned anything about an E-Day set prequel. Nobody saw this coming. 😌
I love being surprised. Leaks are lame.
#GearsofWar
'Gears of War E-Day'. CONFIRMED.
New game.
Marcus and Dom are back.
The 'Gears of War' name is back.
I'm at a loss for words right now.

Seeing the buzz and love for Gears across my feed right now is unreal.
Even though we all hoped something was coming, I don't think anyone expected what we got, and I can hardly contain my emotions right now.

#XboxShowcase
Seeing the pretty much unanimous positivity and hype for Gears of War right now is a beautiful thing. So rare in video game communities these days. More of that please.
It's good for gamers, and good for the devs who bust their ass for our enjoyment. 🤝❤️
Lots of conversations happening around Gears right now. I love to see it, but just don't be a dick, yeah?
There isn't one "right" story route, or a single right way to play. Just like Gears of War, the community is diverse, with varied opinions. We can be cool to each other.👊
Stand by... we are falling in TOMORROW to discuss that unreal Gears of War E-Day reveal.
This is just the beginning, Gears fam.
Right now, I need to go lie down. 😅

#XboxShowcase
It's Friday, we're a few days out from the most emotional game reveal of 2024 so far, and still buzzing from it.
Gears of War feels as big as ever. We talked for nearly an hour about the E-Day reveal and the episode is out everywhere now!
⚙️🔥
#GearsofWar
Rumours of the Gears of War remastered collection are hotting up.
Do we need it? We have Ultimate Edition, and the rest of the games look incredible / modern with the 4k 60fps updates we got last year. Is it just to make all the games look like Gears 5? - what do you think?🤔
Another day, another 'big account' copying my Gears posts. No hate, just wish people weren't so lazy. 🤷♂️
Thank you to everyone who continues to show love here. Gears of War is about to pop off and I hope you stick around! 👊
The Gears of War fan in me is of course disappointed we didn't even get so much as a title card for a new game, but as an xbox and gaming fan, that was a pretty unreal showcase with so much that I can't wait to play!
More thoughts soon. Hang in there, Gears fam.👊
#XboxShowcase
Looking for a Gears of War lore fix that links to E-Day? Pick up The Rise of Raam!
It focuses on the origins of Raam and the high ranking locust in the lead up to the most pivotal moment in the Gears timeline. Do you think he'll make an appearance in the new game? 👀
Gears of War 'Mad World'.
I saw this on trailer on TV and it converted me to the Xbox 360. Not since Resident Evil 1 & 2 had I seen a game with such an unsettling atmosphere, and this launched me into the 'HD generation' of gaming. Iconic, and perfect marketing.
#GearsofWar
After searching for 12 years, Dom found Maria in a Locust prison camp, only to discover that she was tortured to the point of being in a vegetative state. Dom was forced to euthanise her to end her suffering.
One of the saddest moments ever?
#GearsofWar
When did you unlock your first ever achievement in Gears of War?
Christmas Day, 2006 for me. That's when I got my Xbox 360, and Gears was the first game I played. 🥹
"Who wants toast?!"
An easter egg from Gears of War 2 where Marcus Fenix and his squadron encounter a hidden toaster and some funny dialogue!
#GearsofWar
Happy Friday, Gears fam. You chainsawing anything this weekend?
Even though I've played it a lot, I think Gears of War 2 is actually the one I have fewest hours clocked... gonna go for some of those achievements I haven't popped yet. 🫡
Woke up to the sad news that yet another prolific voice actor from my childhood has sadly passed away.
Peter Renaday had many roles, and voiced the original Master Splinter from TMNT.
I've since learned he also voiced Adam Fenix from Gears of War. RIP sir. What a talent!
11 years later...it hits me just as hard as it did back then.

#GearsofWar
Should Gears 6 do a Halo Infinite? Split the multiplayer from the campaign and make the mp FREE TO PLAY?
It would bring in more players, could in theory mean a new multiplayer arrives sooner, and the premium campaign ends up much bigger. Do you need both at the same time? 🤔
Gears of War Judgment came out 10 YEARS ago today!
We'll be celebrating here at Gears Intel by sharing some memories and trivia behind the game. Where does the game rank for you?
#GearsofWar
In Gears of War 2, there's a hidden easter egg in Act 1, Chapter 3 where you can shoot three hats and everyone will suddenly be wearing Dizzy's cowboy hat.
The Corpser that appears will be also be wearing a giant cowboy hat and will scream "Yee-Haww!"
#GearsofWar
Happy 15th Birthday to the game that started it all!
Gears of War released on this day in N. America in 2006 (9th Nov in EU, 23rd in AU) and over the next few days I'll be celebrating one of the greatest games ever by tweeting tonnes of insight. Share your own memories below!😃
We have a BIG anniversary tomorrow.
7th Nov 2021 will be 15 YEARS since one of the greatest franchises of all time officially launched. I will be tweeting special stats, behind the scenes info and memories. Join me in this celebration from tomorrow!
#GearsofWar
Before Gears 3 released, the devs held a "Save Carmine" campaign poll.
People could buy avatar t-shirts for their Xbox Live Avatars with either a Carmine Lives or Carmine Dies logo on it. The sales of each were tallied so that the game's fans could determine Carmine's fate.
You, the incredible Gears of War fam have made the E-Day podcast our most watched, hitting 5k in 24 hours. (this is huge for us!)
We are a small channel, but our passion is big, and you have made us feel visible. THANK YOU to all the followers and subscribers.👊❤️
Gears of War 2 was announced by lead designer Cliff Bleszinski during the 2008 Game Developers Conference on February 20, 2008. This was the first teaser 'Duel'.
Who remembers seeing this? I have to admit, the chainsaw duelling got me so excited. These days...not so much 😆
So who's been playing the OG Gears of War games since the server updates?🤘
How have you been finding it? Are there many players? Which one seems to be most popular?

HAVEN is a Gears of War Judgment multiplayer map set in an ancient monastery in the Azura Mountains.
Once temperate, Haven is now an icy husk of its former self. It was released on March 29th, 2013, as part of the free Maxim DLC - one of my favourite maps!
#GearsofWar
In the 2007 movie Die Hard 4.0 (Live Free or Die Hard), Gears of War is being played by a character during the opening scene, and later in the movie an Xbox 360 with Gears on a monitor can be seen next to Kevin Smith's character.

'Imulsion' is an energy drink created by Boston America as a tie-in for Gears of War. It cost $2.49 per 8.4FL OZ. (250ML) can, and also came in packs of 24.
Did anyone ever try it?
#GearsofWar
Gears of War 3 concept art depicted an alternate version of the Boomer known as Master Boomer. It appeared to be able to control Wretches and would carry a metal whip with blades at the end, and a backpack that the wretches would sit in!
#GearsofWar
A decade ago, we saw the release of Gears of War 3. What an incredible game. I can't believe it's been 10 years!
I'll be sharing some more Intel on Gears 3 later, but for now - what's your memories of the game? Did you play at launch? Find it later?
Did you cry?... (I did!)

Always a great presence whatever role he's playing. Would you want to see him make an appearance in the live action Gears of War Netflix movie?
#GearsofWar
Marcus and Kait skins coming to Fortnite. Thoughts?
I'm not a Fortnite player (tried it - not for me), but if this brings new fans to the Gears of War franchise, then I'm all for it!
Gears of War, according to Epic VP Mark Rein, is reason the Xbox 360 has 512mb of RAM instead of 256mb. Supposedly this cost Microsoft around $1 billion.
#GearsofWar
Sorry for lack of new Gears content. Full-time job, parenting, and juggling some family health issues. Just so much going on right now. Still here though, and Gears still rules. Lots to come. ⚙️👊
I don't care how long it takes us to grow, we will NEVER BUY FOLLOWERS. Authenticity is my no.1 priority when it comes to content. We are FANS, but we will say when we don't like something (with good faith reasons) and we will NEVER pay for a following. Stay real, Gears fam.✌️
Me, every day, waiting for Gears of War news.
Maybe an announcement at The Game Awards in a couple of weeks? Or on a new Xbox developer direct in early 2024?
What do we think?
From 'Gears of War Retrospective'
Xbox 360 and Gears of War retail adverts ran side-by-side for much of 2006, heralding the era of HD gaming and its killer app months ahead of the arrival of Sony's Playstation 3.
