22 Biggest Disappointments Of E3 2016
13. Gears Of War 4's Gameplay Is Just Business As Usual
The lengthy gameplay footage for Gears of War showed off the brutal and visually lavish warfare we've come to expect from the series... but simply didn't do much to show the series evolving in any significant way.
Compare Gears to the other GoW, God of War, which took a bold step forward for its first PS4 outing. By contrast, Gears basically seems like the same old gameplay with little variation (beyond some snazzy new toys and sharper graphics), and while it'll probably be a fun outing, those going in expecting a jaw-dropping leap may end up disappointed.
It probably didn't help that the dialogue was absolutely atrocious, too, not that the series has ever been known for its wit and sophistication.
