🪚 Gears of War: E-Day feels like a 2008 throwback
A new hands-on preview says the prequel plays almost identically to the original Xbox 360 trilogy.
▪️ Game: Gears of War: E-Day
▪️ Protagonist: Marcus Fenix
▪️ Enemy: Locust
▪️ Signature weapon: Lancer with chainsaw
The preview describes classic Gears combat beat for beat: roadie-running into cover, laying down suppressing fire with the Lancer, and finishing off Locust drones with the chainsaw bayonet. Gnasher shotgun standoffs and messy, visceral kills round out a formula that feels lifted straight from the series' Xbox 360 days, right down to the gore.
💬 Does a game built to feel exactly like 2008 sound appealing to you, or a bit stuck in the past?
