The Gears 4 launch trailer has been unveiled and surprisingly it features a great deal of Marcus Phoenix. Full of mechs, motorcycles, and I think Cole Train (?), this gameplay trailer shows that we are in one heck of a ride. Mechs. Cole Train. Marcus. Plus all of the other wonderful characters that are shaping the narrative. The main point though is the Gears 4 launch trailer shows off Marcus Phoenix at an inordinacy amount.
It begs the question, will Marcus be playable after the fact that the launch trailer shows off Marcus Phoenix so much? The answer is probably no, but one can hope, as he is one of the most iconic characters in video game history.
Gears is one of Microsoft’s defining franchises and the fact that the Gears 4 launch trailer shows off Marcus Phoenix, among other things, as well as shows off something new, tells us that Microsoft and The Coalition know exactly what they are doing. Every successful game is a mix of something old and something new, and Gears 4 seems to have both. If this trailer is any indication, it has the potential to be hands-down the best Xbox One game, perhaps the best Microsoft game to date.
