Gears Tactics World Premiere Trailer | April 28th 2020 Release on PC, "Later" on Console
- Thread starter SuikerBrood
- Start date
We don't know really know anything about what happens out of combat aside from the armor/weapon customization of the existing characters. It does seem that there is a chance you'll have other deployable troops though, trailer shows a failed sub-objective for not deploying a scout unit, and also shows an objective stating characters x, y and z must survive.
Rod Fergusson tweeted it.
At least I can imagine swinging with a lancer in chainsaw melee and missing.
I'm afraid I can only repeat what's already being said/shown :)
I guess I can "answer" this one because I have absolutely no idea, the game is single player though so I don't know if something like that would have any use
I'm a big Laser Squad fan too, played the original speccy version and the dos port to death

Tactics is also getting a standalone artbook. Nice to see since Halo Wars 2 never managed to get one.
"The ESRB has now rated the Gears Tactics video game that will be out later this year. The summary tells us more on what the full game will have.
Gears Tactics is rated M for mature players over the age of 17. The content descriptors say the game features "Blood and Gore, Intense Violence and Strong Language".
The rating summary says: "This is a strategy game in which players lead a squad of soldiers to stop aliens from destroying humanity. From a 3/4-top-down perspective, players use pistols, assault rifles, shotguns and grenades to kill enemy creatures in turn-based tactical combat. Battles are accompanied by realistic gunfire and screams of pain; combat intermittently depicts close-up camera angles—soldiers killing creatures, resulting in decapitation, dismemberment, and large blood-splatter effects. Soldiers can also perform finishing attacks (e.g., chainsaw kills, head stomps, neck snaps) on weakened enemies, highlighted by zoomed-in views. Cutscenes depict additional acts of intense violence: creatures shot in the head at close range; a creature impaled through the chest by a bayonet. The words "f**k," "sh*t," and "a*shole" are heard in the game."
Jup is Gears.

I think with Gears games they usually have a turn off blood or gore option in the settings. Still not Mario, but it helps tone it down. I suspect Tactics will have something similar.
Yeah okay, I'm just annoyed at the trend in gaming regarding violence, it's a bit too much sometimes.
The game looks good though!
I have kinda missed it for some reason, have they talked in depth somewhere about how it works? Do you have action points to spend on movement and action? Do you choose your gang at the start and do the characters have individual skills?
They could totally make a Warhammer-like IP from this, I'm getting vibes from my youth playing 40K, Mario + Rabbids pulled those strings as well, love the strategic side of it all.
No idea. I don't think they have talked about it much. I think they have really only showed the game a couple of times. E3 2018 and the most recent game awards.
Probably previews soon. Still a while before the games comes out. End of April.
