eh. the last two gear imo have been so-so. whether that's rod's fault who knows.
too be fair imo they've all been so-so after 1. franchise is tired.

New DLC plans. Interesting. Lizzie Carmine SP DLC pls.
Quality over quantity my friend...Gears is stale but Rod took a brand new studio and managed to get them to put out 5 titles in 6 years (Gears Ultimate, Gears 4, Gears 5, Gears Tactics and Gears Pop!).
That's an incredibly high level of output for a smallish AAA studio.
For example, Naughty Dog has 1.5x the amount of employees and has basically released 2 (UCC, UC4) games in that time. Halo has more than double the amount of employees and has released exactly 2 (Halo 5,MCC) games in that time period.
And those are pre-established studios that already had games in development before Rod took over.
He gets shit done, always has.
Gears of war world does not equal the linear game world. its the setting I want to exploreyou are asking for a game set in the Gears of War world and yet saying that same world would somehow be more fascinating than the....same Gears of War world.
They had a trailer for it.....So this move all but confirms that a new Diablo is in the works i guess.
Well Warcraft 3 Reforge trailer had cutscenes...
Definitely with you there. Just based on the past 6 months or so with Gears 5 it definitely seems like the studio needs better leadership.
Awesome news

I would say.
Diablo 4 looks fantastic so having someone this experienced join that team can only help even further.
More importantly somebody that's known for getting games out the door.
Maybe it's less to do with Rod and more to do with Microsoft and creative decisions?
I really enjoyed Gears 5, but I tapped out during the 2nd Tour of Duty and the monetisation/grind aspects were pretty brutal.
All of the game's Rod has shipped has gotten decent scores. Are they all 90+ GOTYs? No, but that doesn't matter.
Not sure if that fits with Blizzard if we want a good product tbh. They should take all the time they can for D4.
Gears was on its last legs anyway....jumping ship was smart...
Perhaps a fresh perspective will bring the franchise to the modern era when approaching storytelling, pacing and universe expansion. He even admitted that his lens is a bit narrow and wants other to bring in more than what he is capable of.
.They'd be better off working on something else for a while and letting the IP lie fallow. It's the best way to have fertile ground in the future.
Wat. The Coalition didn't even develop 2 or 3 of those games, so that's a meaningless number and comparison (plus UCC and MCC were collections of multiple games). It's like saying Sony Santa Monica has released 9 games this gen when 8 of those were via their external development team.Gears is stale but Rod took a brand new studio and managed to get them to put out 5 titles in 6 years (Gears Ultimate, Gears 4, Gears 5, Gears Tactics and Gears Pop!).
