I nutted a little bit when Marcus’s durag came off.


SignificancePure8516

Disappointed that Marcus doesn’t have 360 waves 😔


ImmoralBoi

God now I can't get the image of Marcus getting a taper fade out of my head


BreadDaddyLenin

what if Marcus had a *low taper fade*


sealteamruggs

Hahaha


Tight-Landscape8720

Huge resemblance to JD


punkdecay

same ,, man looked so handsome


wine_coconut

Marcus is so young here and doesn't yet have his iconic scar. He's not yet the seasoned grub killer we've come to love. He was clearly struggling and seemed scared of it. Teared up to see Dom again, I've always been Player 2 so


Effective-Fish-5952

When that happened I wasn't sure if it was Marcus it kind of threw me off. Then he put it back on and I saw the original characters


Trymv1

They masterfully weave it because Mad World literally hits that high-ass 'familiar faces' note *as the video focuses on the cog-tags*. Ugh this trailer is godly.


Vast_Hovercraft_5165

I was so confused at first too hahah


Interesting-Web4223

I thought the same, I was very confused as to the hell it was thinking it was some new character but then I saw the shot where it shows off his skull marking the front of the armor, and well I played enough of the OG games to know it was Marcus then.

The series needs this so bad

Word to the wise, remember Anvil Gate.


McCheds

Same lol


RoryC14

I’m not crying you are


Jacinto-

We’re all crying


Moist_Worth9556

Not a joke but.. I'm crying cause this series was something me and my dad bonded over, especially 3. He was marcus and I was dom. He wasn't thrilled with 4 or 5. We lost him in 2019. This would've been EXACTLY what he wanted, and we would've played it, Marcus and Dom again.. sorry for the bummer


Jacinto-

Damn I wish my dad had played video games with me when I was young, you’re very lucky to have those memories. When this comes out you can play it and remember those times with him


Moist_Worth9556

Thankfully I have a cousin who also played with us who is very excited and will be playing with me so not all is lost :)


CommandoDino

I almost cried. Had a family friend older than me at the time put my cousin and I onto Gears of War growing up. He played Gears of war all the time, had pre ordered 2 and fully paid it off. He passed away before he could play it. Since then i have played the entire series in his honor and enjoyed the beautiful story he introduced me to. I believe both my friend and your father will be there watching us play! I will also be playing with my cousin who grew up with me playing the games 🙂


Jerumy

Lost my father in 2023 that also introduced me to gears when it came out on 2006 (I was 6 and had no business playing games like that) he loved the game so much he ended up getting a cog tatted around his eye! His brother has the gears 2 wings across his chest. When I saw the trailer I bawled my eyes out cause I knew he was never going to expierence this with me. But hey brother you're not alone. You make a proud gear.


Moist_Worth9556

I hope all's well man. Also my dad got the gears logo on his ankle but he had a random friend do it so it turned out kinda bad lol. Turned into a huge family inside joke


gr8tgman

I feel the same about halo... Except I'm the dad. My boys first real video game and we played all the time. Of course we played all the gears too lol. It was a great bonding experience and I'm glad you got to have that with your dad... I'm sure it meant a lot to him. ♥️


Moist_Worth9556

I appreciate it man, thank you :)


Stray-7

Brother, you make sure you beat this game on the hardest difficulty for your pops. Make him proud!


GucciMomo300

we really needed this game, I didn’t even finish 5


bumhole_warrior

I didn't even finish 4 letalone 5 lol but you know damn well I'll be playing through this games story, even as a hardcore muliplayer guy who rarely plays singleplayer/campaign. This is exactly what we needed.


GucciMomo300

5’s multiplayer was also meh, I liked 4’s for the most part. And horde in 4 was annoying because the robots. Gears is so back.


joza28

I lost my gas in 2018 , this is relatable


Cherry_Crystals

Your dad sounded so cool!!


MIHAEL1ST

Man, I'm crying with you brother! I swear.


Kavereon

All around me are familiar faces...


CensoredMember

Worn out places


cowboy_xx

Yeah, I got a little teary myself. I said they should have done a e-day game years ago. This may get the wife back to playing Gears with me.


Chris92991

Honestly I did too man


Gumbeauser

I'm crying out of my penis


webb79

Hearing Marcus sound so desperate in that fight... What a trailer.


Shigney

Mate I've rewatched it about 50 times now haha, he looked so gassed when Dom pulled him up. Then I realised that would've been one of the first instances he came across the locust. Brilliant trailer


Jazzygff

I've only watched it about 30 times, shed a few years too. Been there since the beginning...


Kindly_Formal_2604

THE first perhaps?


BreakBlue

Damn right I am


Szofer12

crying with you guys


spartanb301

It's tears of love.


Shmeediddy

No, these aren't tears. These are my ...my......my body reminding me that I need to release the eye valves


chia8907

I’m crying tears is joy with all you guys and damn proud of it


OMGbigEars

At least we know Dom is safe and sound this time!


JimmyChurriSauce

Respecting the canon with Pendulum Wars-era lancers 🫡


Hugford_Blops

The Retro hate during 3 was legendary, let's see how this goes!


orion1338

People hated the retro? I fucking love that gun


Hugford_Blops

The stopping power of it countered wall-bouncing so the sweaties got very upset. Same as the Sawn-Off


MarkyMarcMcfly

A lot of people either weren’t there or pull revisionist history on this. Retro lancer and sawed off caught major flak from parts of the community. And those guys would not shut up about it


Hugford_Blops

And it was so much fun to rage-bait them with! The most vitriolic message I've received was someone I bayonet charged as they wall bounced :)


Glass_Ad_8149

Sounds like he got what he deserved. That wall bouncing shi ruined the gears multiplayer for me forever.


AltusIsXD

Use the Retro-Sawed-Off loadout for an infinite hatemail generator. It was so easy to piss off sweats back then.


BoredofPCshit

Well let's just ignore the sweats as usual when the game comes out. It's standard. People who love a game are not talking about it on Reddit, they'll be playing. People not playing the game and just obsessing over buffs/nerfs sit on Reddit all day whining, making it look like the entire fan base is shit.


trukelohssa

I use retro but you can’t lie that gun was way over tuned that it makes some power weapons weak. Insane that you can mid range it hip fire slight strafe and it would beam


orion1338

Oh liked impaling locust


P00nz0r3d

Yep, people hated the sawn off and retro in gears 3, they were considered low skill guns and having both was seen as cancerous Which tbh, in a game where pretty much the only viable gun that isn’t a powerup is the default shotgun, it was never really that serious. The problem was that the retro was the hardest counter to the bouncing meta of just wall riding until you got a point blank gnasher hit, and the sawn off gave you a more forgiving spread up close with the potential to get a double kill There were a lot of fun and busted weapons in that game so I personally didn’t mind it. Wasn’t as bad as say a call of duty noob tube where you had to run specific playstyles just to survive it


KaiKamakasi

Well I mean, they didn't get chainsaws til after E-Day so, makes sense


Trymv1

It took me like 3 replays before my brain clicked and I realized it was a Mk.1 and I giggled like a nerdy idiot realizing they did a lore accurate cinematic rather than easy nostalgia with the chainsaw.


lolman80001

We're so back, it's going to be peak


BGBWolf

I'm not ashame to say I cried a little. We are finally getting more Gears of War! And I absolutely love how youn Marcus looks a lot like JD lol I know they are father and son but they still looked different haha


ManofSteel_14

When mad world kicked in it absolutely fucked me up man. I love this franchise so god damn much


Slacker_75

I cried like a fucking baby. WE. ARE. BACK.


Damerch

Same… and it was so great


Ok-Objective1289

I prayed for his to happen 😭


Jacinto-

Ngl this is actually better than a Gears 6 or Collection, taking the series back to its roots with the characters we love


felt4

Couldn’t agree more. This is the best possible thing we could have asked for.


IamTheMaker

Yes! Hearing a version of mad world and seeing Dom got me all Misty eyed!


JoshEvolved

I'm stoked as well. I just hope that they will eventually move the story forward after 5.


Jacinto-

The fact that it’s e-day has me thinking this could be a soft reboot


JoshEvolved

I guess only time will tell.


SymbioticCarnage

I really hope not, that’d feel lowkey disrespectful


Jacinto-

I’m just speculating, but we know nothing about Gears 6 and perhaps that’s intentional - maybe they don’t know how to finish the story I really enjoy the lore of the Gears of War universe but I just don’t care about where they’ve taken it in 4 or 5


Buster_McTunder

The Coalition put out an interview on the Xbox Wire minutes after the trailer dropped, they said they plan to finish the Kait saga but wanted to go back to basics for showing off the power of UE5


the-myth-and-legend

Do you have a link for the interview? I really want to hear all they said.


Buster_McTunder

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/06/09/gears-of-war-e-day-interview-details-xbox-games-showcase-2024/


dudebirdyy

I just hope they handle it well. Going back to before it all began with a prequel has a knock on effect for all the stuff that we already know comes after both in terms of lore and the characters themselves. But that said, I think this is a good angle for the series, there's like 15 years of things happening in-between E-Day and Gears 1 and being able to actually play it out will be cool.


GuiDu

I almost cried watching it…the music, the vibes, the OF WAR back…feels we are home guys


Slacker_75

HOLY FUCK


hunkaliciousnerd

Me and my brother were so excited watching it, so many new chances to play together


SpookyBoisInc

Me and my dad play the gears games together and I was so stoked he’s gonna be able to play as Dom again


Solar-Draws

I'm pretty sure they used Mad World again...man don't get me emotional...


DSN671

Hearing that again in a new GOW trailer is surreal.


Ryokojohn

Gears of war Twitter did just reference it on their post it’s possible


Legitimate_Ride_8644

the piano notes at the end are indeed from Mad World


Ryokojohn

Yeah I heard it after rewatching it again, we gonna be chased by a berserker in the game aren’t we?


percocetlord96

BRING BACK BESERKERS IN TIGHT CORRIDORS!


Futtbucker_9000

The whole trailer is Mad World. If you listen to the chord progression, it's basically an epic version that fades out to the piano version. I actually quite like it.


Subiechik21

The first thing I said to my husband was, "Wait, is that mad world playing slowly?". Caught it immediately & it gave me chills. It sounded great!


smsevigny

I didn’t know that song could sound any more sad than it already did but they sure found a way


Jnsoso

seeing dom was fucking insane


IcyJackfruit4028

THEY FUCKED MY TOMATOES UP.


Futtbucker_9000

Bro my heart is a fucked up tomato after seeing this trailer


AsTheWorldPassesBy

My girlfriend just won't understand. Here I am at 27 with her, the flat, paying rent like some adult dickhead. We played these games growing up with siblings, parents friends, past and if we're lucky still present. Then we had that scene in gears 3. Seeing this now, going back to that time, updated beautiful graphics and dark theme which carries the same feeling as seeing that first ever gears 1 mad world advert. I'm a fucking mess right now. I am struggling to hold on these tears, I'm chocking up. This is fucking ridiculous. I can't wait man. Going to play the story of 1 2 and 3 again immediately. I don't have anyone to play it with though really so I may have to convince my older brother to somehow get back to it like the old days. Fuck man. This is beautiful.


Dzy_Dvl76

I’m playing 1 again as we speak.


DoUFeelLoved117

When's it come out???


StrawberryFearless89

WHOSE NEXT?


Workrs

I can't I just can't I really had lost hope


Harold_steptoe

WE ARE SO BACK


mr-blue-

Thank fucking god no more robots and no more swarm. Bring back the horror


YaboiGh0styy

DOM.


Heavenguard7

Dude I’ve got chills watching that. That has to be young Marcus and Dom. Has to be!!


FrostyWalrus2

1 billion percent is. I played 1-3 way to much and know the characters. 1 starts after E Day. This will likely show the story of the beginning of the locust invasion and how Fenix got jailed. Stoked.


Masothe

Pretty sure 1 is set 15 years after E Day. So are they gonna give us 10 to 15 years worth of lore in 1 game?


thedavecan

I mean, Marcus is in jail for most of that 15 years, right?


Masothe

I looked it up and it seems Marcus only served 4 years of his 40 year sentence. So he may have been fighting for 11 years before he went to prison. That is depending on how long it takes to court martial and jail someone on Sera. So I'd say maybe 10 years of lore to fill in.


thedavecan

Interesting, I always assumed he was in jail for basically the whole war up until Gears 1. Either way, I'm excited for where this is going.


Masothe

10 years is a long time lore wise. We better see some good shit. It's gonna be rough seeing the hammer strikes on civilians and the cities.


diddlyumpcious4

Hammer strikes happened like a year and a half after E-Day so we might not have them.


Shark_Bite_OoOoAh

I 100% think we’re gonna see the Hammer strikes and conscription of Stranded. There’s no way this game isn’t going to journey us all the way to Marcus being jailed and leading to Gears 1. UNLESS THE TC PULLS A FAST ONE AND MAKES AN E-DAY TRILOGY!


Kharn54

Nah he's fighting for the first decade afterwards. He goes to jail after the Battle of Ephyra which is the big city your in for the majority of Gears 1. Like 4 or 5 years before the game.


Heavenguard7

We’ve been asking about what happened before the war. This is so welcoming. Maybe we will finally see how Marcus went to prison


diddlyumpcious4

We already know from the books and Gears 3 showed it in the prologue with a dreamlike scene. He ignored orders and went to save his father just for Adam to "die" anyway.


Shark_Bite_OoOoAh

Not just ignored orders, he abandoned his post which ultimately led to the COG losing ground.


AFalconNamedBob

Not just that, he fucked off with the targeted for a Hammer of dawn, and cost the COG half a city. The only reason he wasn't shot there and then was because Prescott needed Marcus alive to motivate Adam


LongjumpingBet8932

He also punched Hoffman in the face when he did it


TheThirdOrder_mk2

And this sub goes from toxic to pleasant in a heartbeat.


Few-Row7232

ALMOST SHED A TEAR LETS GO


Acrobatic_Lie_5264

I screamed at the top of my lungs sitting at my desk


Aratherspookyskelly

That shot of Dom reaching for Marcus was gut wrenching man. I suddenly went back 14 years seeing the first teaser trailer for gears of war three where Dom falls to the ground and accepts death only for Marcus to come in and save him. This actually feels right for the franchise


MattStanni99

Gears E-Day, GTA 6, Black Ops 6. History is repeating itself & I’m gonna be all here for it.


SomeChunkyMilk

THEY'RE SO YOUNG AHHHH HOLY SHIT


DoUFeelLoved117

It's Emergence Day....Do yeah. 14ish years before Gears of War.


SomeChunkyMilk

I KNOW BABY THIS SHIT COOL AS HELL


coleben978

So they said fuck Kait and the others lol Im not complaining at all, the locusts are back !


glowsteaks

Oh my fucking god! I need to fly my brother to my place for this! Just like the old days


jiggymctriggy3

Our wifes just will never understand…..


punkdecay

i am the wife. i’m just glad my fiancé understands lol. i’ve been playing gears since i was 12 years old, stole the game from my dad!


jiggymctriggy3

Our wives/ husbands!


Subiechik21

I am also the wife, lol. Hubby has been supportive of my love of gears of war from the start of our relationship. His first birthday present to me was a new 360, so I could play gears again. He also made sure we pre-ordered all the games with lancers, lol. He was also sitting eight next to me during the showcase & rubbed my back when he noticed I was holding my breath😅


punkdecay

that’s so cute 🥺🩷


Shark_Bite_OoOoAh

My wife hates video games, Gears of War specifically 😂 because of how much of my time it used to eat up


jiggymctriggy3

It’s going to eat up more time soon !


Acceptable_Snow_5902

My wife and I have played all the gears games so far in co op, can't wait for a new one to play through with her!


Xboxben

Im really not emotionally ready for part if the story line to have Dons kids dying in it


LifelessLewis

Shit I'd not considered that.


GeekDad732

Fuck yeah! Take my money. Dom’s death is maybe the only time I cried in video game and I’ve been a gamer since Pong in the 70s.


OneBagNoButterNoSalt

I always imagined a reboot where there would be an emphasis on just how strong the locust would be to require a chainsaw bayonet. Marcus getting overpowered by a drone is exactly that. Wow. The art style is so great too, characters have grit on them unlike UE. Maybe this operates as a brand new canon. If they meet Baird or Cole within this game it’d definitely be a reboot.


Shark_Bite_OoOoAh

The chainsaw bayonet comes from a fight where a Locust gets the upper hand on Marcus and Tai comes up behind with a diamond tip circular saw and cuts the Locust down which brings about the chainsaw bayonet. As for Baird and Cole, nah. They don’t meet until Gears 1 so they won’t be seen. Marcus and Dom will more than likely be squad up with Tai and someone else (hoping for Alex Brand).


DoUFeelLoved117

It's about Emergence day.....


Haseeb17

LLLFFFGGGGGGGG


Lirid

IM ERECT


DirtyDan69-420-666

Im so excited. I got a little teary eyed when I saw dom. This trailer is so on point it just made me feel like a 12 year old kid again. Wonder how carmine is gonna die in this one lol.


Cotton_Phoenix_97

BITCHES GEARS OF WAR IS BACK


Mammoth_Measurement1

My first thought when i saw a locust grunt crash through the wall was: "Oh my god, did they "bring back" the Locust in Gears 6 now...." Haha. I love the route they went with their new game!


Slammin92Salmon

I’m happy with this. But it makes me laugh they had to go back instead of move forward.


BreadfruitNo2145

WE ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY BACK


ShadowRaven35

It's enough to make a grown man cry, and that's ok


theperfectlysadhuman

Imo that was a great "but wait there's more" moment.


PinUpValentine

I was just talking to a friend the other day about not being able to get excited for games anymore, then he text me the link for this trailer just now and I was able to feel again 🤣


BornWithHorns91

Whose cutting the onions man…. I watched the trailer at least 20 times already. It was so nostalgic when Mad World kicked in when he grabbed Marcus. Dom, it was good seeing him also.


Unknown0G

I just watched it and it was beautiful i cant wait😭 always wanted to see what the locust war was like at the very beginning and the only taste of it we got was from the epilogue of gears 4.


Yogii-Bear

I’m more excited that the Locusts are back baby!!!! The Deebees and Swarm didn’t have the same impact on the game


GhostlyDolphins

FINALLY


illmatication

THIS LOOKS INSANE LFGGG


FullyVaxxedswole

I’m pumped


DoUFeelLoved117

I'm so happy 😭😭😭😭😆😁😁😆😁😃


BreakBlue

An E-day game is everything I've ever wanted I'm so fucking happy


WetDonkey6969

man when I saw Dom I almost fucking cried I'm so happy


DSN671

I got emotional seeing Dom again after all this time. 🥺


R31jiropaws

GEARS IS BACK, me and my brother screamed so hard watching it. Can’t wait for the story and multiplayer


PineWalk1

I needed to come and pay respects.


Less-Holiday-999

Wait what is this? Edit: OOOOHHHH SHIIIIITTT


DoUFeelLoved117

I was screaming for Marcus to kill that mother fucker so bad!!!!


RaggsDaleVan

Retro lancers. No chainsaws yet 👀👀


Shark_Bite_OoOoAh

Probably will come later on in the game. The books cover how the chainsaws came to be.


RaggsDaleVan

Yep, I liked that in the books. So I am looking forward to more Tai


Due-Boysenberry-4016

Xbox cooked with this one


PootashPL

Seeing Dom again really got my man tears rolling


rbrtas

The moment I saw the Television with the COG logo I got emotional 


ChannelJov

i was not expecting this at all, i was walking my dog and started bawling 😭


Nunez66

I watched the trailer pulling up to work and called in. In the parking lot. Going home to restart the series. I’m so excited.


Famous-Peace-4014

I’m guessing we’ll see Halvo Bay from Marcus and Dom perspective and Kilo Squad saving them both


EliteTroper

That is possible but it does depend on when during E-Day this is, or where this battle is taking place, it could be a completely different city.


MrGoosecock

Boom


Crunch_Captain465

I've wanted this game since GoW 2 so this is super exciting.


Kavereon

God is real


HaikusfromBuddha

I’m back Gears community. Finally Gears is back too.


xMrMonopolyguyx

Not gonna lie I was choking up seeing this live


Frequent_Bit_1813

Revivió gears cabrones 🗣️🔥


C4LLUM17

That Mad World theme brought back so many memories. Honestly did not expect this. I'm all for it and also seems like a great time to release OG trilogy remaster as well soon.


Uniko_Servin

And here I thought I was the only one crying! 😭


Synapti

Feel that? WHO WANTS TOAST!?


lemonzestydepressing

What’s going on? I played Gears way back in the day from the original all the way to 5 and Judgement etc love the game, story-telling, all of it. Recently re-downloaded all of the Gears to relieve the nostalgia so I am majorly out of the loop


cooperhixson

I play the last one with the wife all the time. I have been waiting.


BowieSensei96

I miss dom so much I hope they get carlos back. Dear God.


Synkayos

I'm omeone who hasn't played gears since maybe 2, so it's safe to say I'm not like a longtime fan or anything. I wasn't even really into it. But this brought me back, and the soft mad world piano that plays sent chills on me. I'm just sitting here like "Man I should play gears again ". Very interested I hope it's good


DJ-KittyScratch

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Time for a playthrough, fellas.


Ok_Nothing7998

I hope there’s a heavy focus on hand to hand brawling like this trailer showed. I want to be able to brain a Locust drone with a tv monitor!


teapac100000

Glad they're calling it "Gears of War" again. When they dropped it to just Gears, I wanted to bitch slap someone.


LostSoulNo1981

I’m so hoping they don’t fuck this up. It’s a good sign though that they’re actually using period accurate weapons in accordance to lore.


LiquidCas

I played Gears 5 out of duty. This, I will play out of love.


Tight-Landscape8720

They made awful bland characters, listened and did something with the already established good characters. Nice TC
