This would be the ideal way, IMO. 360 graphics @4K, with 60fpsWould've appreciated if they offered the Original graphics as a setting to fall back to.

It's always surprising how many of these remakes/remasters fail to capture the art direction and atmosphere of the original despite having higher fidelity assets
You can play the original pc release instead of emulatingThe problem is that they didn't bother to fix everything they fucked up in the Ultimate Edition for Reloaded.
Crazy to me that they swung and missed...twice in the graphics department, but tbf Reloaded doesn't really seem like they touched the assets very much, if at all, from the Ultimate Edition. A shame.
Anyone tried emulating the 360 version? Can 60FPS with a resolution bump be achieved?
That version of the game doesn't work anymore because it required Games for Windows Live? Or did they patch it to remove that?You can play the original pc release instead of emulating
Usually, you can work around that. I think you can still connect to the servers. There may be patches.That version of the game doesn't work anymore because it required Games for Windows Live? Or did they patch it to remove that?
I have never seen it that way.Gears 1 was action-horror.
It didn't have traditional survival horror game mechanics, but horror was definitely a main component of the game's presentation. It's even reflected in the advertisements at the time.I have never seen it that way.
Replayed GoW 1 on the 360 a week ago and didn't think much about it having horror elements and if so, it didn't work for me.
It's still a fun game, started GoW 2 directly after the first one and man, they did improve on everything here if you ask me.
Atleast the 360 version did get a 60fps boost through backwards compatiblity on Series X|S. If only the Xbox could've 4k enhanced it like they did 2 and 3.Anyone tried emulating the 360 version? Can 60FPS with a resolution bump be achieved?
I mean, we play it in system link co-op mode. Even if the game has a creepy or scary atmosphere, the co-op mode ruins it for me. But I don't think that's a bad thing. That's probably why I never thought of the game as a horror'esque game.It didn't have traditional survival horror game mechanics, but horror was definitely a main component of the game's presentation.

Not all horror is "creepy-scary Thomas the tank engine in liminal spaces."
GoW being better than the first in tone and atmosphere? Boy, howdy. Now, the multiplayer was terrific, and that part of the game did actually get better and better with time. But not the presentation and design of the campaign. That got progressively worse.
But no need to argue on that one, honestly, because I'm sure everyone can agree that post-Three the franchise solidly hit a wall, and the wall fared better.
