Nope, no HDR in SotC, only some trickery to give the impression it does:

Yes forgive me for not being specific, but still wouldn't count FP10 to be true HDR in any respectable way since its precision is just not enough to reproduce what I regard as HDR. Anyway It's nice to see the sequels of many great old gen titles to receive a healthy linear space HDR boost from their LDR cousins of the ancient times such as KZ, Ratchet, Gears and MGS series.
Both use a non FP16 model, and both are only capable of tone mapping through trickery as you call it. But sure, if you want to believe that older gears titles had HDR, then if it makes you feel better: Yes, Gears has always had HDR and SoTC doesn't

Considering that HDR TVs and videos use 10bit precision, FP10 is for all intents and purposes HDR. Going by the logic that FP10 isn't enough compared to FP16, we might as well say the same of FP16 compared to FP24 or even FP32.
SotC doesn't even use FP10. It's just a bunch of areas defined by boxes that tell the game to become darker or brighter/bloomier. It's explained quite clearly in the article I linked to.

You are 100% correct, Gears has always had HDR and SoTC doesn't

The standard is FP16 and above and you can clearly tell the difference.

The locust just don't look like a Gears game. I hate it when an artistically splendid game loses its art style.

Also, I wish Gears 2 and 3 come to Windows. I wanna play them

It wasn't the standard last gen when those games were released.
