The podcast panel returns to talk all things Gears and gaming. We’re just shy of 2 months from the release of Gears of War reloaded, and outside of Xbox making life hard for themselves with game pass price hikes, the sentiment around Gears of War has been up and down, with Reloaded not setting things on fire with Playstation sales, and an already dwindling player count for the multiplayer, we decompress and go through all the post-launch news and talking points - despite the flashy visuals, and so called ‘definitive’ way to experience Gears of War 1, we ask - was it all worth it?

The Gears of War Reloaded Beta has slammed shut, so it's time to reflect, and I've got a full verdict on my gameplay impressions from weekend 2, and the beta as a whole. What worked, what didn't, all my thoughts and feelings. Is the old charm of Gears back, or is some tuning required, plus what I'm thinking as we look ahead to the launch of the game in August.00:00 - Intro & weekend 1 recap02:25 - Buzz for weekend 203:30 - Stability / lobbies05:11 - King of the Hill thoughts07:34 - Maps08:47 - Hit registration13:13 - Matchmaking balancing16:00 - Final verdict (pros/cons)18:50 - Looking to launchFollow us and join the Gears fam conversation onTwitter / X: https://x.com/Gears_IntelWe are also on Blue Sky:https://bsky.app/profile/gearsintel.bsky.socialand TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gearsintel

Weekend 1 of the Gears Reloaded Beta draws to a close. I got in plenty of game time over the weekend to sample what it's offering. From a very rocky opening night, to a much smoother experience by day 2 and 3, I give my thoughts on how Reloaded is feeling. Is the gameplay dated? How much fine tuning needs to be done? Is the 'turn off cross-play' option bad for the game? I ramble on. Let me know your thoughts too!

The Xbox Showcase is in the rearview, and while Gears of War did make an appearance, it wasn't the earth shaking type of showing that we had last year - which is fine! Turns out Gears of War Reloaded is actually looking pretty incredible, as we got an official trailer, and confirmation of the Beta as the game gets ready to hit Xbox, Playstation, and PC this summer. I'm on hand to give my own thoughts on the showcase news or lack thereof, and did we actually get a confirmation that E-Day is coming in 2026? Very possibly maybe... enjoy the round up, my ramblings, and let me know your thoughts. See you in the Beta this weekend, Gears!Follow us and join the Gears fam conversation onTwitter / X: https://x.com/Gears_IntelWe are also on Blue Sky:https://bsky.app/profile/gearsintel.bsky.socialand TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gearsintel

It continues to be a busy time for Gears of War news and there's a few thoughts to get off my COG armour plated chest. After my video a little while back worrying that the movie was in development hell, a glimmer of deep running hope appears, as The Hollywood Reporter confirms David Leitch is in talks for the Director's chair. I give thoughts on the Leitch-Spaihts Director-Writer combo, and what this could mean for the tone of the film. Plus I reiterate some feelings on casting, talk about the apparent Gears of War Reloaded BETA which may be upon us, and feature fan opinions given to me on whether we will see more of E-Day at the upcoming showcase. Let's get into it.00:00- Intro/News Recap02:28 - Thoughts on Leitch + movie tone08:13 - Casting12:06 - Reloaded BETA incoming?13:16 - E-Day at Showcase (Fan Responses) 19:35 - Do I think E-Day will be there?Follow us and join the Gears fam conversation onTwitter / X: https://x.com/Gears_IntelWe are also on Blue Sky:https://bsky.app/profile/gearsintel.bsky.socialand TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gearsintel

It’s now been almost 900 days since Netflix announced they were working on a Gears of War movie, and animated series… since then, Gears has been hotting up in a big way, but when it comes to the movie - it’s been radio silence.

This comes at a time when video game adaptations have never been more successful, and as we push ahead to xbox games showcase in June, I’ve got a few questions and thoughts that I wanted to get off my chest.
