JANUARY19MedI aNMENTImage Credit: gearsofwarGears of War: E-Day is a provocative revival of one of the most famous shooter series in the history of the gaming industry, as it takes the players back to the devastating events, which left a scar in the history of Sera. The action of the game takes place on Emergence Day, and it delves into the initial disastrous experience of humans with the Locust Horde, being a more realistic and down-to-earth take compared to the earlier entries.As compared to the subsequent Gears names that are based on experienced soldiers, it is anticipated that E-Day will be shock, anarchy, and survival based. Gamers will be able to watch the collapsing cities, civilian people running away, and the COG army being unable to react to a new threat. This change in plot gives the franchise the opportunity to delve into fear and vulnerability to give the series its trademark grit and intensity an emotional dimension.It is expected that gameplay would be similar to that of the cover-based shooting and visceral combat found in Gears but adding some refinements to make the encounters more fluid and cinematic. Better enemy intelligence, buildings that can be destroyed, and battlefields that are more responsive would increase immersion. The prequel setting also qualifies as a style that opens it to new weapons, experimentation of tactics and a more visceral combat experience before the COG could refine its war machine.As Unreal Engine technology makes visual fidelity a reality, E-Day continues to provide breathtaking scenery pitting calm cities with unexpected destruction. Not only a sense of nostalgia, Gears of War: E-Day can revitalize the franchise by bringing back its heart to the players. To both longtime fans and those who have never seen the movie, it is an effective reimagining of the origin of the war. An E-Post Preview of the Franchise BackgroundGEARS OF WAR: E-DAY
