Gears of War Judgement shakes things up a bit

4.5

The lovely folks over at Joystiq seem to have gotten access to the new Gears of War: Judgement game and have been playing through it.

They've reported that the old control system is gone and has now been replaced with a faster and hopefully sleeker system, which holds more similarities with other modern shooter games. Tapping Y will now change your main weapon and grenades can be thrown directly from the bumper.

The campaign mode tells its story from Kilo squad, who are bound in chains and being held at a military tribunal. Kilo squad contains the familiar duo Baird and Cole, plus new characters major Garron Paduk and Sofia Hendrick.

Also of high interest is the new scoring system, just like many mobile games has a 3 star rating system. Players will be given optional but lucrative events within a mission aimed at guiding the story according to Kilo squads recollection of events. As well as the new Smart Spawn System which will try to keep replaying missions fresh by making enemy spawn locations random.

Gears of War Judgement is set 30 days after emergence day, the time when the locust rose and attempted to destroy humanity.
For anyone who missed the new trailer at the Video Games Awards, here it is:

They should at least keep the old control scheme in. I mean it probably won't suck, but some people prefer originals as they are what they're used to and there's nothing new to learn. If this control scheme fks up bouncing and all that, then it will suck.,

Daedric They better have a controller layout for the classic Gears or I will be pissed. I don't want to tap Y to change weapons. I want my classic lefty layout to stay the way it is.

I agree, that's one thing I've always wished these other shooters had, it's much better than using y

I like the sound of the new system and have looked further into it, I am rather excited for the game, the effort put in to both the campaign and multiplayer makes me think that Judgement will be a "Top Notch" game.
