Some of this cut content is so old almost 20 years hence why there is some potato-looking footage or pictures seen in this video. Hope you enjoy though!

Dang would have liked to have fought the locust dragon and thank god cole and baird didn't change personalities 😅

Abz is carrying the gears community on his back during these dead times for gears 🐐💙

That dragon would've been great as a mount for RAAM, similar to Skorge having the Hydra. Maybe they could make it canon in a prequel story.

Cog armor looks uniquely awesome, especially the helmets in Gears 1.

2:41 my ass already recognized voice actor of tank dempsey

Actually, Baird was originally going to be in Cole's positon as the athlete. Carmine was originally intended to be the sarcastic smart guy. Epic just loved Cole's V.A so much that they created him a character and killed off Carmine.

Having some helmeted characters or even a protagonist in a gears game would be awesome I've always thought a prequel game where you play as either an Onyx guard or a UIR soldier would be interesting

You should do cut content for gears 3 like I think in beast mode they originally were going to add more locust like a reaver and a grinder

I think I knew before Steve Blum auditioned for Marcus.

Hey, Anthonys original VA sounds EXACTLY like Robin Atkin Downes

I love the idea's. Dang imagine fighting the Dragocust Wyvern. Trying to take cover from its Flaming breath and the driver being shot off. I believe the Dragocust would go berserk or retreat from battle Honestly I always love Cole I always looked up to him, he's my hero 😃 he is a fictional character but to me. He is my hero and idol. He's badass! Cole Train don't go Whoo whoo *IT'S WHOOOOO!!*

Ive been playing the first 3 since last year. I did not know about any of this! edit:Oh cool! i got a heart!

female dom, now that’s interesting

You're doing excellent work for the Gears community man, keep up the good work.

Locust dragon would've been legendary! ! Bring it on for gears 6, campaign and verses it would be great!!

I remember hearing about female dom years ago that would have been pretty cool

The Locust Dragon does look pretty scary. Wish we could've fought it. I'm not sure it would've shot fire, though.

The early prototype looks cool❤

absolutely amazing keep it up man growing up with these games and seeing what they could have had or been instead is so cool

I really wish we'd gotten to fight that dragon, but I suppose the Tempest in Gears 3 is a good substitute.

Wow. Locust Dragon Looks Awesome 👍

I wonder if the bucket head influenced the design of the huge mechs at the end of gears 4 you play as

Wsg kingabz, keep up the good work!

Man what a nice video! Seeing early footage of gears 1 is so cool, let’s you see how much of a difference there was in the finished product, thanks Abz.

Love your videos!! You are the best Gears Of War channel I know, keep up the great work, I love this series and knowing that there are more people who share this with me is incredible

It's very interesting to see how this game could evolved

The king of Gears!

On the subject of the locust dragon, I have occasionally imagined Gears of War as a distant future for the Dragon Age setting.

I found this video very interesting thank you

Absolutely love your content currently replaying the gears series with my gf love showing her games I grew up with. Your videos have helped fill in the gaps of lore and questions she has had

Wow nice job finding all this out!

6:15 I never thought I would hear someone beg for a Locust drone "Troika Gunner" multiplayer skin. On a very old but game called spore you're able to create any creature/ship design. I'm not a game dev but I tried my best for fun. For gears of war I've made: Locust Drone LD Bolter LD machine Gunner LD Grapple Gear LD Lambent LD Miner helmet Savage LD LD Spotter Gear LD Sniper Goggles LD Kadar specimen Locust Grenadier LG Flamer LG Lambent LG Savage Lambent Polyp Nemacyte Bloodmount Serapede

I like the prototype chainsaw duel way better lol

Great vid

I would still like to see you that pneumatic gun you mentioned in the last video. I think it would be a game changer. If gears implements breakable/moveable cover into the multiplayer, imagine what you could do with this thing. When its fully powered up you could shoot blasts of air that destroys cover into bits and pieces wounding or even killing enemies who are crouching on the other side of them. Even when it isnt fully powered this weapon would not be completely useless as it would allow you to crush enemies by pushing cover towards them which would swiftly slide against the ground pushing them with it while they sit on the other side and crushing them into a nearby wall creating a bloody mess. I like the idea of mechanical arms as shown in one of the concept arts, so i think this 'air gun' could be physically part of the character we play as and in multiplayer it would be optional. Now, i know this would be extremely over powered ingame but there are ways it could be worked around. For instance it could take a long time to fully power up for releasing a shot or its possible that its shots could be maneuverable once you develop the skill for it. Or perhaps it would be a better idea if the gun had to be charged up like the embar?

I'm glad we got the Marcus VA we have now, he just fucken kills it in the VA department

Keep up the great content man!

Will we get a Cut content of Gears of War 3 In the future that would be Cool to see ❤

A few points I wanna bring up 1- did epic ever explain why the locust drones had a revamp of their design between gears 2 and 3? In gears 1/2 they appear more human and actually look like a hybrid between a human and sire DNA were as in gears 3 going forward they look more monsterous and reptilian. 2- with the whole locust society part of the video I always wondered who was making the boots for the locust? Like is there a factory somewhere in the hallow that just has drones making boots and laces? 3- keep up the awesome work!

Dragon looks awesome :(

I like the buckethead nickname

I wish they didn't kill the carmine family

Could of had a dragon instead we got family friendly robots

Can’t imagine cole or Baird any other way. Awesome video too abz! Some shit I’ve never seen before

Nice 👍

Good video

One notable aspect of Gears of War 2 that was changed during development was that Kevin Riepl, composer of Gears of War was originally composing music for Gears of War 2, some of which can be heard in the game's first gameplay trailer (Highlight footage of the rig firefights of Act I, Chapters 3 & 4 as presented by Cliff 'Cliffy B' Bleszinski). At one point in time later, Epic Games would later cease working with Kevin Riepl and have Steve Jablonsky compose the music for the game instead, making no use of the new music Kevin Riepl prepared for the game (Although still using the previous game's music stingers & such). Kevin Riepl did once host the 24 tracks that he composed for Gears of war 2 on his website, but due to using the discontinued Adobe software to stream them, not even the Wayback Machine seems to be able to let you hear them again. I do have MP3 copies of this via an unofficial "Gears of War 2: The Rejected Score", but I don't believe this ever got around & it has some audio issue levels to correct (I can at least say that it does include the very same music that can be heard in the aforementioned trailer).

I remember steve blooms voice from Company of Heros

So many things that might've been. The Coalition definitely needs to dig into the archives if they're gonna get the fans back. I want to see the Swarm Drake, and I'm pretty sure everybody else does too. As for the Buckethead, I think putting that in a prequel game would be excellent. For now, it's just gonna be what Marcus called the DBs that fucked his tomatoes up in Gears 4😂. Definitely agree on Baird and Cole being the characters we know and love. No role reversal needed, though I think Baird could sell me on being a former star QB on a Thrashball team. Keep up the good work Abz!! This Gear thanks you!

Could you do a video going over maybe weapons or vehicles from the new cog? From gears 4 and 5? Or going over all the different types of deebees?

Now that we are going to get Gears of War E-day, maybe some of these ideas will be seen

LONG LIVE THE COG

Cole train is just Ronnie Coleman of his universe

Imagine in the next game we get a Steve Blum voiced Marcus skin where it looks like the Marcus from the original trailer

Ive heard before that gears 3 was gonna have MUCH more dlc.

Can you do the Tau empire with there mechs and auxiliaries and caste system and there warfare If you do halo can you talk more about the covenant ranking with each species

still legendary games

We almost had a world where tank Dempsey was Marcus I want that now lol

I’ve always wondered what happened to the krill

Can you do a crossover video of Carmine meet the grunts from halo and the chimera from resistance what will happen if the 2 Carmine becomes the lider on the Chimera or he doesn't die in gears of war 2

Troika best 💯

What was the cut contest in resistance

GOW2 the best game ever 💯

Hear me out locust with a barbuta helm

I started playing gears of war two and I noticed some thing while in the hollow what are the flying bird thing I first I thought they were more krill but then I remember them being wiped out so what are the flying things I figured you might now

❤

You call Cole “Pole” @ 7:41 😂

Needs more cowbell

Wait so your telling me their was suppose to be dragon locusts in gears 1 and 2 I wonder why they didn’t do that

Are you still working on the Chimera weapons video or space marine

Cut content of gears of war 3 next?

As much as i love steve blum, John DiMaggio is definitely the better choice that's so cool

Want a new Gears Of War game

Geist sounds so unqiue. i more prefer Locust name as Geist tbh.

Can you play the whole game?

im glad the voice actor for Marcus got changed he just sounded so generic

What the hell

Minor correction, it’s Anthony Carmine, with an “H” not Antony

shout out to the dope videos, but the script reading voice is very mundane.

God gears 1 to 3 was great the new gears is pure trash

i want Gears 6 and continue Kaits story

who cares. Gears 4 and 5 are better anyway
