Yeah now I'm doubting it was, but I was definitely going on that assumption for months. Some of their messaging at those earlier events was confusing.
Oh well I'll just buy it.

I think you just got mixed up because it and the older games coming to Game Pass where all kind of announced around the same time period

If you like Gears and/or turn based tactics games play this. I've not beaten it but I think it's good.

Will this release physically?

I've never played a Gears game but I do like strategy games. Will 100% buy it if it's physical, will skip otherwise

Baffling that their summer showcases were so poor given everything we're seeing today.

I want some behind the scenes info on that whole thing. The only logical explanation I can think of is that they honestly thought Halo Infinite would an absolute home run.

My guess is they just completely misjudged the mood.

The first showcase being all CGI made the scrutiny of the second one much greater than it would have been already, and then when that was mostly CGI and Halo: Infinite failing to impress, the probably walked away wondering how that ended up going so badly.

I imagine a lot of the stuff they have announced today might not have been finalised then, but I'm sure one or two things could have been thrown in.

Nice, every console need games published by the platform holders imo at launch and after 343 dropped the ball, I'll take tactics and hopefully we get flight simulator aswell.

I was hoping for Halo at launch but getting the next best thing! Can never get enough of my Gears :)

I was unsure if I was Day 1 before but now I'm all in. Can't wait to preorder!

It's a great game. Unsurprisingly, Gears gameplay (hiding behind cover and shotgun/lancer/chainsaw weapons) translate perfectly to XCOM type tactics games.

how demanding is this on PC? I'm curious to see how it runs on XSS vs XSX

edit: I've been wanting to try this out but I think it's too much for my 2017 MacBook Pro to handle in Bootcamp

Hell yes. Wasteland has given me an itch for turn-based tactics that needs to be scratched.

Man.... I went halfsies with my folks for the Series X for Christmas. I was going to let them give it to me on XMAS, but I don't know if I can wait now.

Yakuza, Falconeer, Gears Tactics, Enhanced Games...

While I agree with the assessment at the top of the box, something about just the word "EXCELLENT" right above that dude's head is very funny to me.

Looks like another launch game I'll be picking up, nice to see it's getting a physical release too.
