This could be great. Would love to see a Gears 1 with updated visuals.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

The ideal would be Gears 1 Anniversary, with improved MP including the most popular maps of Gears 2 and 3; and Gears 2 and 3 campaings re-release.

I would be really happy with that!

 

[Feindflug]

Remade with UE4 would be pretty cool.

Yep, a proper remake would be so much better than just a 1080p port of the PC version.

 

[rrc1594]

Nice all I need is leaked Scalebound gameplay

 

[Genio88]

I loved the first Gears, it was dark and had great style which has been almost completely lost in its sequels, i'd really love to play it again on Xbone, bit it has to be a proper remastered with heavy graphical improvements, we are talking about a ten years old game after all

 

[outsida]

I need this in my life.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Only the first game is a fail, it better only be 20 bucks.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Gears 1 multiplayer is the only Gears multiplayer I'd be interested in playing again anyway.

 

[spannicus]

Im excited about this. A revival of Gears online. Yessss!

 

[kevin1025]

The ideal would be Gears 1 Anniversary, with improved MP including the most popular maps of Gears 2 and 3; and Gears 2 and 3 campaings re-release.

I would be really happy with that!

Maybe they'll release Gears 2 and 3 as apologies for the matchmaking not working.

Spoiler

I know, I know, easy joke...

 

[etta]

Am I forgetting something or isn't Gears like a really gorgeous game? What's the benefit of a remaster?

It hasn't aged incredibly well. Kind of like how Uncharted 1 was mindblowing back then, but after playing the sequels it looks meh all of the sudden.

 

[Genio88]

I'll be happy if they comfirm that it'll be just the first Gears of War instead of a 3 games collection, that means they can focus just on one game and improve it as best as they can, plus as i said the first is the one i liked the most

 

[JigglesBunny]

They probably want to avoid another possible MCC fiasco.



Next gen technology? is it a remake or a simple remaster? I guess we'll find out soon.

Think Halo: CE Anniversary as far as Campaign goes with Multiplayer receiving the same visual refinement and running on dedicated servers. That's what I'm hearing, anyway.

That's, uh

pretty big.

 

[GravyButt]

That and a horde mode. Mmmmm

 

[TheBioLover]

So it's sounding like it's a full on remake? Nice, although I'm surprised they didn't save it for the games 10th anniversary next year like Halo CE and 2. Although I guess Gears 4 will be coming out then.

 

[jbug617]

Phil Spencer said he wanted the Gears franchise to feel like the first one more than the other 2.

 

[Mass Effect]

Wait, so only the first game? Why? It's just like with the God of War III Remaster, why not just do the whole series?

 

[Heartfyre]

Best scenario? A full UE4 remake of the campaign, and a remade multiplayer component taking all the best things from the multiplayer components of all the games.

Campaign-wise, they're right to just redo the first game. The series went downhill after the first one.

 

[Welfare]

Wait, so only the first game? Why? It's just like with the God of War III Remaster, why not just do the whole series?

Look up one.

 

[watership]

That's, uh

pretty big.

That's going to be very nice if true.

 

[Twin Tails]

Add horde plse

 

[dancmc]

There's a huge difference between breaking an NDA and talking to willful developers.

Willful developers who are under company confidentiality and talking about potentially material info?

 

[jesu]

Maybe with it only being the first game this is Black Tusk's first attempt at making a Gears game from the ground up?

 

[VaultBoy101]

This really needs a horde mode addition if it really is only the first game.

 

[Doffen]

Where's my Viva Pinata collection.

In development for iOS and BlackBerry.

 

[IJoel]

Great news, but man, it must be so infuriating to the developers when someone doesn't adhere to the NDAs and leaks something like this.

 

[d34thfrom4bov3]

I'm 100% in, first Gears was best Gears. I'm so jazzed.

Spoiler

Viva Pinata collection seconded

 

[PillarEN]

Will be interested in running through the campaign in co-op again. Hopefully without the car push glitch. Gears 1 is nothing but good memories for me.

 

[Rembrandt]

Great news, but man, it must be so infuriating to the developers when someone doesn't adhere to the NDAs and leak something like this.

it's annoying because it fucks it up for the people in the program. it causes delays in the testing and can even stop the program.

 

[jesu]

I'm 100% in, first Gears was best Gears. I'm so jazzed.

Spoiler

Viva Pinata collection seconded

There is only one Viva Pinata worth remaking anyway.
It was basically Viva Pinata 1.5.

 

[jelly]

Best not to take any chances after the MCC disaster.

I suppose they can beef it up by including a collection of multiplayer maps from the other games.

Gears of War never clicked with me, that was campaigns, first one was a bit more interesting, little survivor horror in there but found the encounters to be quite boring and sparse level design made it all rather dull, didn't bother with the series after Gears of War 2.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

In development for iOS and BlackBerry.

Don't make me hurt you, Doff!

 

[GHG]

Mad world.

I would be very happy with this since I never played 2 or 3 last gen - sold my dying 360 before 2 came out. So here's hoping it's not just the 1st game and a true collection.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Hell yeah. Looking forward to this.

 

[Kill3r7]

Wait, so only the first game? Why? It's just like with the God of War III Remaster, why not just do the whole series?

Because they expect you to buy the other two campaigns as stand alone DLC would be my guess. Similar to what Halo is doing with ODST.

 

[Raide]

Damn, if they do upgraded UE4 effects to bump up Gears, it will look better than most current gen games, no doubt. Hopefully 60fps silky goods too!

 

[Chobel]

Phil Spencer said he wanted the Gears franchise to feel like the first one more than the other 2.

I thought he was talking about the new Gears when he said that.

 

[shinobi602]

Willful developers who are under company confidentiality and talking about potentially material info?

And? I haven't signed an NDA myself in that case. Nothing is said without permission.

 

[d34thfrom4bov3]

There is only one Viva Pinata worth remaking anyway.
It was basically Viva Pinata 1.5.

As long as I can whack pinata's on my Xbox One I don't even care. Just give me some place to take care of my snakes that I force to breed in such a way they become mutants.

 

[CodeNfX]

Only reason why I still have my Xbox 360. So stoked for this.

 

[jbug617]

Didn't the PC version of the first Gears had an exclusive boss fight? Hopefully they will add it to this release.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Didn't the PC version of the first Gears had an exclusive boss fight? Hopefully they will add it to this release.

Yes, and a few multiplayer maps I believe.

I assume all that would be added in for this.

 

[CastleRybread]

Didn't the PC version of the first Gears had an exclusive boss fight? Hopefully they will add it to this release.

Yes. Gimme back my slide glitch and I'll be happy.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Didn't the PC version of the first Gears had an exclusive boss fight? Hopefully they will add it to this release.

Yup. It had another whole section which culminated with a Brumak fight. Shame the PC version ran like shit for the most part.

 

[Quotient]

Since the first Gears of War was available on PC, i wonder if they will also include a PC release of the remaster?

 

[Smurf Yetti]

Hopefully they fix the PC version and release it on Steam...

 

[Mass Effect]

Look up one.

I guess. I mean Gears 1 is my favorite by far (even if 3 is mechanically superior), but it just seems strange to me.

Because they expect you to buy the other two campaigns as stand alone DLC would be my guess. Similar to what Halo is doing with ODST.

I really hope MS wouldn't do something like that. If they do, then I hope it's cheap, like $10-15 cheap.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Since the first Gears of War was available on PC, i wonder if they will also include a PC release of the remaster?

Doubt it. MS isn't really giving a shit about PC in spite of what they say. Also the PC version was just thrown out there back in the day to help sell Windows Vista and it sold like shit and had very little support.

 

[El_Chino]

Think Halo: CE Anniversary as far as Campaign goes with Multiplayer receiving the same visual refinement and running on dedicated servers. That's what I'm hearing, anyway.

UE4 though?

And? I haven't signed an NDA myself in that case. Nothing is said without permission.

Imo anything said through a third party that isn't officially said by a developer or publisher is a leak.
