Gears Of War 4: 9 Things We Can't Wait To See

8. Is This General RAAM?

It's not until you go back through the original Gears of War - especially the Ultimate Edition - that you realise how inconclusive General RAAM's final scene is. Sure, he gets shot a whole bunch and is left behind on a train that plummets into the lake of Imulsion - but that's precisely it, he's left behind.

With some choice picks from the original gang making a return like Cole and Marcus, why not RAAM as well? The above side-by-side comparison is from the Ultimate Edition and new launch trailer, and aside from the teeth warping a tad, I'd say it's a pretty solid match.

The remastered Ultimate Edition's slightly altered ending doesn't show anywhere near as much blood pouring out of RAAM after his defeat, hopefully setting up yet another return in Gears 4 after Epic already reused a younger version in Gears of War: Judgment.

He certainly looks like he's been through hell, mutated a tad and come back for more, but what do you think?
