Hmm, I don't get this sentiment. Plenty of HD collections containing two, three, four games have been awesome and worked fine.

Yeah but as we saw MS has no sense of quality control. I understand 343 isnt deving this but I wont spare benefit of the doubt.

Obviously we want more games in the collection but if the whole thing will suck then do one at a time at least.
 
Only Gears 1?


Ehhhhhhhhhhhh. I want 2 and 3, and I'm fine with only an increased resolution. Just bump them all up to 1080p/60, include all the DLC, and the PC exclusive GoW mission.

Gears 1 doesn't even have Horde man
 
So its a MP beta? Sounds like its being remade. I am so down if its more than a visual makeover. I dont like how Halo CE and Halo 2 had the textures reworked. Those games were limited by what was already there and couldn't make drastic changes. I'm pumped to learn whats up with this.

I'd bet that Halo MCC was way too ambitious. Even more then a Gears Collection would have been.

Halo MCC was about 4 games, 2 of them carrying 2 engines each simultaneously and one of them a high quality remaster (almost a remake). It seems to me a lot of work... and they probably did not had the time to make all of it calmly.

Yeah, I understand the team probably did a bad job aswell, since till this date they're fixing the MP, but MCC was a very complex and amibitious job it seems.

Gears of War is a franchise entirely done last gen. So they would only need to re-release evertyinhg at a higher resolution and frame-rate I believe.

4 games across 2 consoles and multiple engines.

3 games on one console and engine.


GoW should be much easier to manage.
 
I'm honestly a little pleased that it's just the first game getting released instead of all three/four. Focusing on a single game and one that released in 2006 at that just seems the safer bet. The last thing we all want is for another collection to come out with broken multiplayer, technical issues and as we've seen with other remasters a lazy ass job on top.

It's also nice to think about just the first game being released wont spread the community too thin across multiple games especially if all four launched simultaneously. If everything goes smoothly then I'm in day one and I know at least 15-20 original Gears players who will be the same.

Worst part of all is how you are forced to buy them and have no choice in the matter. What ever happened to being able to pick and choose what you buy?
 
It's Gears 1 because it's the tone and style Gears 4 is going for.

Addionally, it's Multiplayer defined early Xbox Live. It is, by all intents and purposes, a bonafide classic.
 
A remake of Gears 1? Fantastic news.

I liked the Gears 1 campaign the best. 2 and 3 tried to be really epic and one-up each other but it kind of fell flat for me. Out of the three, I enjoyed 1's campaign the most, especially the atmosphere. Though I could do without the final boss on harder difficulties.
 
Really looking forward to this, bit disappointed that it's probably not a trilogy collection but the original was my favourite campaign so will be fun to crack through it again.
 
I am fine with it just being the original. Epic really closed off the potential for a sequel and gave some really lame tie ups to alot of the super mysterious parts of the franchise. And they left some things completely unexplained. I would be fine with MS retcon gears 2 & 3. Simply remake 1 & and build the new lore around that and make it longer lasting.
 
I love Phil's comments. The first one was way more dark and intimate. Squads against squads. 2 started this war with magical temples underground and Mayan architecture and big burning wars in the daylight. Gears 1 had a really neat horror visual on a shooter atmosphere.
 
The Internet are bloody idiots!!!

From what I have read it's a sample with 3 different modes in and a couple of maps,

But again the Internet has whispered and made up that it's now gears of war 1 only and made by a random team

Relax guys!!! Rod Ferguson is in charge of gears he won't let anyone fuck it up :)

It's a confirmed nothing, there was 1 screenshot of a gears of war title screen with text basically saying the build could be buggy and a mess and nothing was supported and then Internet made the rest up!!!

I would be surprised if they would just make a Remaster of one game.

Maybe the update all the textures/lighning and add some higher polygon models here and there.

So not a complete remake but "more" than a plain remaster.

Yea,they shouldn't be following the God of War III remastered route

Could see it being something along the lines of the Halo Anniversary stuff with a pretty big graphical overhaul.

Maybe they do the graphics toggle and everything.


If its just 1 game I dont see MS phoning it in and just doing a basic 1080p port. They do put in the work when its just one game (halo 1 anniversary, Fable anniversary)



And yeah. After the way the MCC came out its not a surprise they are being a little less ambitious here. This way they can still get a Gears remaster out this year, have it not be on fire on release and pack in a beta for new Gears.

Same, why not all 3 doesn't make sense to me. Unless it is digital only and quite cheap.

I could see Gears of War 1 getting the full remaster treatment to celebrate the 360's 10th anniversary with the other games being "1080p ports". We'll see though.
 
Day -1

Co-op GOW1 was a blast, mp as well got me over 300 hours of playtime...can't fuckin WAIT

Would be nice to have an added Horde mode as well tho...also keep it low on the price tag
 
Of course it is. They were obviously going to do this to make some quick money and keep mindshare while Gears 4 spends up to three years in development.
 
I hope it is Gears 1 remaster with updated graphics and with Gears 1 multiplayer with some new maps.
That would be my dream come true (so it's probably not true)
Lately it is a little hard to find matches in Gears 1 on x360 so I hope we will see some new Gears game soon.
 
Will probably push me to get an Xbox One.

One of my favourite games ever. Sequels were good but never as good, they picked the correct game to remaster.

Canals, lads. Canals.

I'm quite happy with this. Rather get this as get a great remake than a sloppy port of all 3 (or 4) like what the MCC turned out as.

MCC was a product of a set release date though. Even with plenty of studios working on it it likely would have come together well if it weren't for having the whole package be a slave to an anniversary. With proper time the Gears trilogy could be a single package.

Of course like you I'd rather have a solid port above all if that means only working on one game.
 
A remastered first game using tech they'll be using in Gears 4 would be amazing.

The first game was always the best in terms of SP I'm happy to hear they want to go back to that feel of the game where the Locusts were still scary and each fight felt desperate.

It's one of my favorite games ever too. SO many great memories, for real. Like I said, probably a top 5 or so most memorable game on the 360.

Ugh, I've been taken over by hype. No going back.
 
Original Gears was easily the best.
Hopefully this indicates that Gears 4 will be closer in tone to the original than its sequels.

We've seen some multiplayer screenshots of the Gears of War remaster, and it appears that the Xbox One game features improved lighting and increased texture quality. We're told that the multiplayer runs at 60 frames per second.

60fps confirmed
