The story
New gameplay footage for “Gears of War: E-Day” has dropped, sparking a flood of reactions on 5ch’s Hardware & Industry board (known as “Geha”). Screenshots running on RTX 4060 and RTX 4090 cards drew plenty of “the graphics are insane” comments, while the classic pick-up-and-swap weapon system drew complaints of feeling “outdated.” Many posters also shared hands-on impressions covering things like the 4-player co-op lobby setup and getting used to the controls, splitting the thread between praise for the visuals and gripes about the gameplay.

What people said
It's just a Snub pistol lmaooo well I'm out then lmaooo
I was surprised it's 4-player co-op.
If you don't fiddle with the lobby settings, random players will join without you even noticing
I'm not really motivated to grind PvE this time, so I'm just leaving the controls on default
This is exactly what I wanted
No there isn't, lol
Looks super distracting
On controller it's been like that since the very first game, so I think it's just a matter of getting used to it
Never found it distracting myself
On keyboard and mouse it shows up on the left side instead

Without skill leveling or upgrades it just feels too dated for me, can't do it
So you're saying a 'Xanadu'-style system (a classic 1985 RPG known for its weapon durability/leveling mechanics) is way too outdated these days, huh
Sounds like you'd be the Splatoon type
What is this guy even saying lol
It's selling like crazy on both Game Pass and the MS Store lol
It gives you awful motion sickness, what a crap game
I don't get motion sick
The only thing that's broken is your inner ear, man 😨
I played all day both Saturday and Sunday last week and didn't get sick once
Is this your first shooter? Try taking some motion sickness pills while you get used to it
Is this gonna be another all-looks-no-substance game like Hellblade?
If you'd played even one previous Gears game there's no way you'd put it in the same breath as Hellblade
I actually played Hellblade all the way through — have you?
Guess that garbage box really was meant to be thrown out after all
It's not just a Steam thing, that's still a real barrier lol
Just buy an Xbox — you probably don't even own a current-gen console anyway
The console version comes with ray tracing too, no exceptions
It's about the characters themselves, so there's no 'the Japanese version is different' here
It's coming out on PS too, so just get along
No need to go play it yourself
Though honestly, no Japanese viewer is gonna care about watching a stream of this Western game anyway lol
Amazing — a disabled, asthmatic lesbian heroine and a Pride flag
Lol, clearly never played the series (classic 'air-play' poser talk)
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
This title is the latest entry in a major Western game series, and reports say there was controversy overseas about character representation even at announcement — which is why the thread saw jabs calling it a “woke game.” However, details like the asthma caused by Rust Lung disease have been part of the series’ established lore since the second game, not a newly added element. That’s exactly why posts criticizing the game without knowing this background got called out as “clearly never played it” — much of the controversy boils down to how familiar people actually are with the series. Likewise, the “outdated” criticism of the pick-up-and-reuse weapon system reflects a design philosophy the series has stuck with from the start; the gap in opinion comes from comparing it to newer titles built around progression and upgrade systems. In the end, the thread’s reactions split mainly along two lines: praise for the graphics, and differing tastes over old-school versus modern gameplay systems.
