Some things in life are just what you want them to be. For me, Gears is ultra-testosterone, full throttle, guns blazing shear enjoyment. I really wasn't concerned that there was a possibility that the game was just going to be the same, exact game just updated for Xbox ONE. I just wanted to be able to play Gears on ONE. But then you put in the game...the re-made cut scenes grab you and hold you with the vivid colors, facial movements (you can see the non-verbal dialogue/emotions in the characters faces!) and new action sequences. I told a buddy, it's the same but it's COMPLETELY different! SPOILER ALERT!!! Remade cut scene when Marcus gets off the helicopter and walks up to Hoffman for the first time since Dom gets him out of jail...Your watching Anya smile back at Marcus and it is violently interrupted by blood splatter all over the side of her face as a Grub snipes the head off a Grunt standing next to her. If you are a gamer, THIS IS A MUST HAVE GAME! This IS NOT your old Gears game. Buy it and enjoy it for what it is. What it isn"t? It isn't a "fix everything that was wrong with the original game" especially when it comes to the Multiplayer. So don't even expect that. Buy it so you can be the baddest MF on the planet saving everyone and everything from the legions of locust around every corner.
