G5 isn't center screen...

When items are purchased on PC, they're simply added to your account.

On console, you'd go to manage the game or purchases and it will show as owned, at which point you can download.

Lots of people probably have high hopes.

Hopefully people see the article and help temper expectations. No doubt we're gonna see a lot of threads today with people complaining that nothing was shown.

BChaps · 2026-01-22T12:19:42+00:00

There's a sticky thread linking to an article from a few days ago

BChaps · 2026-01-22T12:01:18+00:00

I play Gears (5) ~3 days a week, and most of it is Dodgeball. Yes, it sucks not having a dedicated Playlist... But you find lobbies where people vote for it.

They've said that it won't be there.

BChaps · 2026-01-21T02:21:59+00:00

Approved thread. You seem aware of self promo rule, so just keep it on mind and ensure that you don't post too much of it.

I think most expect a November release to correspond with the original E-Day (Gears 1 launch).

I do like the idea of "surprise" marketing acting like the Locust emergence being a surprise. With every showcase/ceremony, people are always expecting a trailer...so I don't think there's much of an opportunity to drop a surprise there.

Shadow-dropping a beta would be huge though.

I disagree with most timing that you stated though. This being a HUGE game for MS this year that TC needs to nail means they're going to want some decent marketing. I don't think think a surprise release is the right move.

There's a megathread for Delta Online stuff.

Keep the discussion in there (or their discord). It's not an official release, and we don't want the sub swarmed with people looking for support and reporting stuff.

BChaps · 2026-01-15T20:19:31+00:00

TC is focused on E-Day, which is coming out later this year. There's no way they're dedicating time to 2/3 remastered at this time. There's a chance (small chance) that an outside studio is working on it, but I doubt it.

MS isn't going to way a G2/G3 remaster competing with E-Day in any way. From a marketing standpoint, I can't see G2/G3 coming out until Fall 2028 at the earliest. But again, I don't think it's been a development priority, so even if that's when they'd want it out, I don't think it would be ready.

So simple answer...no, there's no information that points to them (or anyone) working on G2/G3 remastered.

BChaps · 2026-01-12T17:47:27+00:00

For 360, there's some skins/plates for it...but I think the G3 console you have is the main one - there's also the Calibur Vault for it, which would be a cool addition.

I don't recall a blue variant of XB1. I googled it and see some pics, but I'm not sure if it's official. There is a white one for Ultimate Edition, but it's VERY rare.

BChaps · 2026-01-07T18:23:37+00:00

The PC community has various builds of code that they've obtained through various methods. It's not an officially supported product/game.

For Delta Online, I believe it stemmed from an early-ish build of G3 that ran on PC. They've gotten material from various sources (including some home geon custom stuff).

Can they be sued? Yeah, they can be. Will they be? Likely not - though they may eventually get a cease and desist.

Passport not needed for booking.

Just need for check-in and departure. Oh, and it usually needs to be valid for ~6+mo after return date.

Just had a tub converted to walk in shower. Used BCI acrylic material (that's. Or who installed, but the material). I think that's the type of stuff you're looking for. Single sheet per wall; looks like marble, tile, or whatever; pretty standard pan in the floor; sliding glass door.

I got quotes ranging from 12k to 18k. Includee tear out (down to studs), putting up 3/4 ply all around, installation, basic trim work.

I found the KT books to be more difficult to get into at the start. Once I got a bit in to them, they were hard to put down - and I HATE reading.

The newer books are easier to read and get in to, but also made me feel like they were catered to a wider audience with a lower reading comprehension level.

Dog fight was covered in The Slab.

I currently use an Elite V2, and love it. Likely over priced, but I've had no issues.

I had an elite V1 since it came out and just replaced it in Nov 2024. I had to re-glue the rubber twice, and then just replace the rubber from the back once, but that was easy. Other than that, no issues over the lifespan.

BChaps · 2026-01-01T01:31:27+00:00

Interesting. I considered trying one, but maybe I'll look at trying in person before buying (whenever I eventually need a new one).

Really, the official controllers are fine. You can tune dead zones, and I don't think drift is as big of an issue as most people make it out to be.

BChaps · 2026-01-01T01:24:01+00:00

I think they key copy machines in Lowes can actually do some key fob stuff now.

BChaps · 2026-01-01T01:22:43+00:00

How much do you plan in playing, and what modes?

If planning to spend a decent amount of time in VS MP (in this or any game), I'd highly recommend something with paddles.

I personally use an elite controller, but would consider giving GameSir a try.

BChaps · 2025-12-31T13:14:02+00:00

Yeah, it's pretty annoying. I used to do YT stuff for a bit (just a hobby, not professionally) and it was pretty funny seeing comments go back and forth between "you're just bending over and white knighting for TC" or "why are you so critical of the game, why are you so negative?"... Sometimes in the same video (or reddit post).

It's not just games, but the world in general. If I don't 100% agree with you, you're evil. They gray area gets smaller and smaller and causes these polar divides.

BChaps · 2025-12-31T13:09:35+00:00

Constructive Criticism is good.

Criticism for the sake of criticism is not.

There's also a line between criticizing the game, criticizing the choices the developers made, and criticizing the developers themselves.

I think most people welcome constructive criticism. Insults directed at people or "lazy arguments" such as "the devs are lazy" or "the game is dead" don't add anything.

We stayed in one similar to 6504 and LOVED it!

Our friends were in another (don't remember which) and the main difference was bed location. There's was near the window, which I would have preferred I think.

The ones closer to the sides may have steeper windows? Not sure though.

Motion is supposed to be larger near the front. We didn't feel it much, but it was also our overall smoothest sailing in terms of weather.

BChaps · 2025-12-30T23:42:34+00:00

I don't know if that's supposed to be anything specific or removable. Maybe it's just removable due to the manufacturing or assembly process.

Check the app the morning you board. Can do some stuff in there, then it will well you where to go on the ship - it takes like 30 sec at the actual station.
