I'll download this tonight. I got to the open world section on Gears 5 and didn't care for it. I'll champ through it though because the game itself is fun as hell.

VG247: Microsoft just low-key dropped the best-looking game on Xbox Series X [Gears 5 Hivebusters]
- Thread starter Gowans
- Start date
The art design and setting. The tech is the same. I think they'll be able to create some of the best visuals when they concentrate only on next gen hardware.
How does it look in comparison to other Series X games? Is it a better showcase than 3rd party games already released?
It's in the update , but you need to have the unlock from the store
Yes, you have a 3-person squad in the game, and it supports 3-player co-op.
Definitely. Both it, and Ori are games that would seriously wow friends, family, or anyone who wants to see what the Series X can do. Gears 5 is freaking stunning.
Sweet, hopefully I just have to "unlock" it without downloading anything else.
Sounds great. Was disappointed to hear that the 3rd player in regular Gears 5 controls Jack the robot as some friends and I planned to play it over Christmas. I'll just play the original campaign by myself and then do the DLC with them.
Opinions and all....i just don't see how this can be said with a straight face if you're playing at series x settings on a good tv/monitor.
Note that I haven't actually tried it—but the DLC states it supports 3-player co-op, and your squad in the game is 3 human characters and no robot, so that's my assumption.
It's probably the cleanest/prettiest (AAA) 60fps game that exists on consoles across the board. What are you playing it on?
It looks insane on my 65" 4k/HDR10 set, and I'm talking about the regular campaign. I haven't played this expansion yet.
Gears 5 didn't get the credit it deserves. It was as good as any AAA if not better from 2019.
I'm very excited to play this next week when Best Buy gets me the Series X I got yesterday. It'll be nice to play something short and spectacular after doing nothing but grinding for Ghost of Tsushima's platinum trophy on PS5.
Whether it be Gears of War 6 or a new IP or both, I am incredibly interested in seeing The Coalition go work on Series S|X. They are one of the most talented, technologically advanced studios XGS has.

Can't wait to jump in this weekend!
To be fair, Epic did add a lot of color with Gears 3 already. But, yeah, TC definitely doubled down (in a good way).
The normies have come around to it now, about 6 years after the fact, and they are being very high key sus about it.
I found gears 2 and 3 merely okay. I found 4 and 5 to be amazing at least from a single player perspective
Definitely not true. There is still a very aggressive geometry culling solution generating flickers at the edges of the screen and I thought the game had a surprisingly high level of pop-in compared to what I was expecting. Demon's Souls is definitely a much simpler game but it's a lot cleaner (with lower resolution at 60fps though).
Hivebusters seems a bit cleaner than the base game from what I've played, so I don't know if it's running with different settings.
Same. I actually got around to 4 a year or so after it came out cause I while I enjoyed Gears 2 and 3, I didn't really think they were as good as everyone else did. However, when I did get around to playing 4 I was honestly shocked how much I enjoyed it. 5 was even better in my estimation as I enjoyed the mini-open world segments and really enjoyed Kat as a protagonist versus JD. (I thought JD was *fine* in 4, but Kat was such a great character and it allowed them to do some character beats with JD in 5 that made him much more interesting. )
Excited to hear that Hivebusters is good stuff - not looking forward to the massive download - but definitely looking forward to checking this out.
I was playing in 1440p ultra
I would also give DeS remake the edge here, but last gen it probably really was the prettiest 60fps game indeed. It just doesn't do it for me on stills.
Gears 5 (and especially Hivebusters) is one of the most beautiful games out there. It's also rrally fun to play. I can't wait to see what Gears 6 brings to the table.
While 343i is struggling with Halo, TC is doing an incredible job with the Gears franchise.

Going to dive in tonight. Even though this looks spectacular, I still hope that Gears 6 throws in some of the dour, grim settings from the first two games. Atmospheric, gothic levels will look incredible with Coalition working their UE magic.
Absolutely did not. I enjoyed my time with Gears 5 much more than Uncharted 4.
I am definitely excited to go back and play Gears 2,3, and 4. I've heard good things. (I played Gears 1 already back in the day). I don't know much about Judgement.
I appreciate that the Gears franchise know exactly what it wants to be. There is no walking-simulator story parts, forced platforming, or puzzle-lite stuff. It's just balls-out alien-killing marine action -- and the campaign's never outstay their welcome. It embodies exactly what I want a video game to be. It's the modern-day Contra.
Here is am gushing about Gears and I havn't even played Hivebusters.
It looks amazing,I just whish I could find the perfect brightness/Contrast/HDR setting on my 900e because it's too dark sometime...not black crush dark just overall,I have a hard time seeing ennemies lets say in Chapter 2 in those tunnels...
Sorry for being the 1000th person to ask this: sounds like the best way to save space (I don't already have Gears 5 installed) is to install base Gears 5, wait until the download reaches the point you can launch the game, then go in and tell it to download Hivebusters and delete the rest.
Is that right?
Is that right?
Personal preference of course but I bump the gamma to 1 and the black level to 48, I get a nice picture with that and don't lose any details in dark areas.
I think the main reason i liked it more as the main characters seem to have more of their own characteristics rather than follow Stereo types with a sprinkle of personality. add in that their is more areas that do not all look the same as i recall alot of 2 just blending together it is a better game from a single player perspective.
I agree,
the game looks stunning on Series X at 4k 60 (I'm sure it uses temporal resolution just like the main game).
Here are some screens I've taken:
Yes,
go into options and scroll right to the bottom, you can choose not to install the main campaign and MP.

The Gamma to 1 might do it yeah,I had it like that for a while but somehow its at 0 now,my black level as always been set at 50...thats on Game mode also.
At times like this, it hurts not having a 4k tv with HDR. Oh well, itll probably still blow everything out of the water at 1080p.
