When we got the Kantus, people were like “yeah but where’s Skorge/Myrrah/Theron Guard” etc. GOW4 had by far the largest roster of character skins in any GOW game.īut I think there’s always an element of “yeah but what about…” when it comes to internet communities. In terms of custom skins, yeah, GOW4 was a bit slow off the mark too and it took around 6 months before it began to pick up with numbers of skins and skins that people wanted. There are as many, if not more modes than past games. My main gripe, and this one’s from me being primarily a Horde and Escape player - is the slow pace of which new characters are being released due to the Hero system.īut aside from that I would agree with you. There are several skins that fit that bill for the Locust which have never appeared in a game campaign, book or comic (like the Stalker Kantus, and forgive me if I’m wrong, the likes of the Savage Marauder and even Savage Grenadier Elite). What I’d like, are for some new variants and designs for say, the Swarm or the New COG Gear given that these are current, but should look as though they could be canon. The Cyclops for example, and the Onyx Guard had a break as well.

I wouldn’t think it’s realistic for them to recreate all past skins in GOW5 and inevitably there will be some that end up missing out. You’re making reference to my comment and preference for canon skins (and/or skins that look as though they could have existed in canon like the Stalker made the point that he thinks TC should not rely entirely on nostalgia - i.e.: designs from past games, which I agree with.Īs much as I like many of the old designs, TC have finite resources to commit to character skins.
