Netflix....nice!!! Hoping this turns out good.
Casting will be a tough job. Where will they find actors with no necks to play those characters? 
Coalition can't even make a good Gears game, and now they are going to help make a Gears movie. Good luck with that....This should be as stellar as the Halo show.
Very odd timing to make this now, years and years after Gears was at it's peak....
I hope the fans enjoy it but with Netflix after The Witcher, I wouldn't trust them too far.

If they make it light action horror, with some funny quips from the likes of Cole Train and Baird it could be decent, but who am I kidding.
Horizon could be a good movie based on the adventure/action parts. But you need good writers, actors and good directors. GT, I'm not sure what direction or narrative they will take. Will it be based on Kaz's vision for the game, will it be based on E-Sports competition, will it be based on Car manufacturers, general motorsports or real life racing? Remains to be seen, but Ford vs Ferrari gives me hope that a great movie about the car industry and motorsport culture can be made.
The Coalition games are good, they just don't hold up to the standards of the OG trilogy.
They are not bad games, but they are not close to the OG trilogy. Gears has regressed immensely under the Coalition. The characters are bad, there isn't anything new gameplay wise that's improving the games. Same roadie run, same cover based gameplay, no verticality, you can't lounge over many areas in Gears, even more limited than older gears, physics and details significantly dialed down over the OG trilogy. That ontop of worse characters, worse atmosphere, no improvement to gameplay, makes Gears under coalition much worse. They are not unplayable games, but they are not stellar either. The OG Gears games are games from persons who had the OG vision and direction for the franchise. Gears is in a similar situation like Halo with 343, they're hitting 80+ meta, but the games no longer have the soul and stamp of the OG team. It's pretty obvious.
Not sure about Gears, but Halo's scores were very suspicious IMO.
I actually didn’t hate the Halo show… until that last episode.
Yea, Kwan Ha is unbearable to watch. She’s a character that absolutely needs to be killed off and never mentioned again as soon as possible.
I liked the Chief and Halsey stuff. The Spartan gym fight was awesome. I even entertained that love angle with the girl (she dead tho).
However, when they killed off John and make Cortana take over and completely control his body to become the Chief we all know and recognize from the games… I was honestly kinda offended?
So you’re telling me Chief is incapable of being who we played as unless Cortana’s AI completely takes over his body? GO FUCK YOURSELF
YOU are master Chief. Not a fucking AI.

The Gears universe has massive potential and some of Netflix best content has been from gaming properties. Let’s hope these are great. With that said, I have more faith in the animated series than the movie which could go either way.
it got the halo bump for sure, but the PC version is pretty low for a halo game (80).
as for this Gears [of war!] movie, it's imperative that MS/Coalition get this right.
This is do or die for the Gears [OF WAR] franchise. No more safe-space 'Gears', we want delta team back. I don't care what retconning needs to take place.
Coalition does not understand this franchise and never has. Right down to the feel of blowing enemies to bits, which they replaced with the most unsatisfying robot enemies, Gears OF WAR has always been hardcore, deathmetal, big dudes in armor blowing meaty gib enemies to pieces. Lots of blood, lots of gore. This is a DARK, MATURE game.
If i get some whiny teenage-girl drama to the backdrop of Billie Eilish music (looking at you, Gears 5/Kait Diaz) I'll know for certain that Gears OF WAR is joining Halo in the dead IP dustbucket.
How MS has managed to completely miss the mark with these two franchsies, not only in the games, but across all multimedia channels is downright incredible.
Who remembers GEARS POP?
No wonder they Fired Rod Fergusson. You take the most hypermasculine, dudebro franchise of all time and just piss all over it with this nonsense, and this is what you get.
I think the OG trilogy especially Gears 1 offered a good MP and SP game. That time MP was all the rage and 360 was doing well, so it made sense. I do think the best Gears was Gears 1 though, it had better atmosphere than all the others. I do think UC1 had better gameplay over Gears 1 though and even better atmosphere, less restrictions with traversal and generally a better world to explore. They both had good characters, but Drake and Sully stole the show, with the humor and light quips, even characters like Eddie Raja is still a highlight to this day...
LOL I feel like there's enough powerlifters out they can make stars with it.Casting will be a tough job. Where will they find actors with no necks to play those characters?
But personally, after watching invincible I'm convinced that high budget streaming animation is the way to do these things.

The Rock, Batista, John Cena. I got you 3.
