I sincerely doubt they will ever do anything with that series again.
Gears would be awesome. There's still no multiplayer like Gears out there. It's better than Halo imo. The movement and skill ceiling is insane. Just on another level.
I remember this being rumored back during the development of Gears 1 Ultimate edition. It's kind of cool that they're bringing Gears 2, 3, and hopefully Judgment up to modern standards. It would be great if Gear 1/Ultimate Edition also got an update or refresh.
Really hoping it's not Gears cause those games already look great
It would be much more useful to have it as Fable

1 was okay, 2 was great and 3 dropped the ball real hard on the last half
Gears 1 Ultimate is severely broken on PC, and PC is also missing 2, 3, and Judgment. A collection that includes all four games on both Xbox and PC with (further) updated visuals, MCC-esque matchmaking and new content, etc. would be great.

MCC is how they fixed Halo 1 and 2 Anniversary editions (eventually anyway...)
A Gears collection seems like such a dull waste of time to me but nothing else really makes sense. The only other IPs that I can really even imagine are Fable, Quake and maaaaybe MechWarrior, though I have no idea what the legal situation is behind that and the earliest games are probably not viable in a modern sense. None of those feel right for the MCC model and I doubt a 'Rare Replay' of anything from Bethesda's library would work out at all.
Still, the majority of the Gears series just not being on PC seems like a solid opportunity to reintroduce them. On Xbox Series X they already look like remasters honestly.

Yup easiest guess of my life. Banjo-Kazooie and Halo ARE Xbox so it only makes sense.
I feel like Fable makes more sense, Gears games already look pretty good with BC enhancements (minus the ones left behind like UE), whereas the Fable games are a pretty inconsistent experience that need some QOL updates alongside fresh paint.
Also unlike Halo or Fable where each game is fairly different, Gears is... idk, sure each campaign is worth a playthrough but as a very casual fan there doesn't seem to be much reason to revisit horde/MP from older games, it stayed fundamentally same just with obvious additions over time, right? I'm sure a diehard will flame me for not recognizing 2 or 3 or whatever had best pvp/balancing/maps/etc but it doesn't seem quite a Halo situation where each MP had its own distinct vibe and pace to the point each has a small fanbase.
Edit: this is assuming we're getting one, if both happened, more power to everyone,, I'm not opposed to publishers keeping updated collections of classics around and don't mind the remaster-itis in the industry

Hey that could actually be really cool... Forza Horizon World or something. Basically port the races and world maps from the previous games with one unified car list. Makes sense with each game featuring a different locale and what not and helps avoid the vehicle licensing issues that have begun plaguing them.
Saying something will "get the Master Chief Collection treatment" will never not sound ominous to me.
Playing through the story mode is interesting. But seeing how the multiplayer evolved on the game is like an entirely different world.
It went from "Everything's free!" to "Here's some map packs" to "Here's some skins AND Map packs" to "Crates for everyone!" and Gears 5 has *universally* negative reviews now.
This makes sense solely because of how Gears 5 shit the bed in terms of maintaining a community.

Would 100% buy this collection if it came to Steam!
The Gears games received excellent enhancements via BC, so I guess the main benefit of this would be to get them on PC.
There are other IPs I'd prefer to see get this treatment, but I wouldn't say no to Gears.

Oooh all Gears ported up to Unreal Engine 5 with pretty robust and universal visual upgrades across the series would be cool.
can I also have Dave Bautista Marcus for the entire franchise? lol
I spent an absurd percentage of my youth on Gears 2 and 3's multiplayer, I'd be down for a collection on PC. I wouldn't be opposed to a Fable collection either though.
Forza Horizon Legacy Collection is the obvious one imo. Given all the old games were delisted, but it would be relatively little work to bring the maps/events to the latest version of the engine. It's probably the series with the most consistent solid critical reception, and it's such a shame that many current Xbox players have no way of playing the earlier games in the series.
Now that you mention it, I haven't seen them on Steam. Though I'm not a huge Gears fan and don't even own any on Xbox, so I probably wouldn't have even if they were on there.
Yeah, a PC collection would be a much bigger pay day than a Fable one. That's probably what they're doing.
