Xbox Summer Showcase 2023 - Expecting Gears News? Tac-Com 2023-06-07 | The Xbox Summer Showcase is coming up on Sunday and there's been plenty of speculation about what we may see. Today, Chaps discusses his views around what we should expect from Gears....and that's a big 'ol nothing.There's various reasons not to expect anything from the fact that they've started fresh with UE5, to the reduction in force last year, and likely not wanting to steal the spotlight away from some other titles. The big one discussed in this video though is the community team at TC - and why the lack of a community team likely indicates that there won't be much news.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro & Recap00:44 - Community Team1:55 - Fenix Collection2:30 - Other Thoughts Social Links: - http://gowtaccom.weebly.com- twitter.com/Tac_Com- http://www.twitch.tv/gowtaccom- twitter.com/bchapyLegal:Gears of War © Microsoft Corporation.

Why Did Gears Esports Die? Tac-Com 2022-06-27 | Gears esports has officially ended. Some may be wondering why it's ending now, while others are probably surprised that it was still even happening. I may not be a hardcore/ranked player, but neither are most of the spectators of popular esports. If Gears failed to capture my interest, who else is it failing to capture...and more importantly, why are they failing to capture this audience? In this video, I aim to answer this question from the perspective of an outsider - a casual player who has never really gotten overly involved in esports.Timestamps:00:00 - Background Information02:02 - Why is it dying?02:50 - Escalation - Barrier to Entry05:03 - Escalation - Just isn't Fun08:22 - Escalation - Complexity & Appreciation11:12 - Viewing Experience13:53 - Trash Talk & Ego14:52 - Roster Churn16:26 - Want to Join a Panel?Social Links: - http://gowtaccom.weebly.com- twitter.com/Tac_Com- http://www.twitch.tv/gowtaccom- twitter.com/bchapyLegal:Gears of War © Microsoft Corporation.

Should We Expect a Fenix Collection? Tac-Com 2022-06-11 | Note: Sorry, I accidently made this private and then re-published...The Xbox/Bethesda Showcase is tomorrow. Rumor has it that another xbox franchise is getting the remaster/collection treatment - similar to that of the Master Chief Collection. The common speculation is that this will be Gears - the Marcus Fenix Collection.Personally, while I'd like to play a MFC, I don't expect that we'll be seeing it.
