Gears Intel

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.

We recently ran one of our community polls and almost 600 of you let us know your thoughts on that burning question - will E-Day release in 2025?

Xbox already have a huge slate for the year, and GTA 6 looms large, so I check with you to discuss what we know, share your comments, and give my own thoughts.

As I was finishing this video, the news broke that Peter Jason, the voice actor for Dizzy has sadly passed away aged 80. At Gears Intel we send our thoughts and condolences to his friends and family. He had a huge impact on Gears fans and he will be massively missed. Rest in Power.

We've crawled out of our own cogholes to kick off 2025 with a new episode, and as the buzz for Gears of War E-Day only grows with each day, we muse about how the multiplayer mode, whatever form it takes, can survive in the age of cancelled Concords, sunken Suicide Squads, and forever Fortnites.

We get into it and reminisce on multiplayer memories, how we approach things as ageing gamers, and discuss if Gears should go to playstation.

Enjoy, and spread the good word of Gears Intel. We thank you for your support!!

We are excited to finally bring you our game retrospective on Gears Tactics, the Gears of War prequel which shifts the franchise gameplay to the turn-based genre. We cover everything from the gameplay itself, story and characters, plus visuals and audio in this deep dive into what might possibly be one of the best games in the genre. Does it come with a few caveats though? Listen (or watch the full video version on Youtube).

This is the first episode in a two episode special of our full retrospective on the game. Our addendum on Tactics arrives before the end of May where we'll be focusing on community feedback, and some other bonus bits we didn't cover here in the main analysis. Stay tuned for that!
