A main entry that resembles a character of its own could be a nice change of pace for the series.

14 Years After E-Day – Gears of War Ultimate Edition (4K 60FPS)

Now that the Gears of War series is back from what some might call a much needed beauty rest, the community is back at it again with endless discussions about its future and where it will go next when E-Day rolls around.

On one hand, you have people who believe that going back to the roots and trying to emulate what made the original trilogy so memorable would be the way to go. But on the more radical side, many believe that trying new things has always been a thing with this franchise, and perhaps a change in genre is what it needs to rejuvenate itself.

From going open world to introducing a host of story elements never seen in a main entry before, it's clear that The Coalition is hard at work breathing new life into this old franchise. But it's also clear that fans expect a lot from the developers in the future and have some exact demands for what they want to see them try.
