The UE edition runs better but lost a lot of the visual flair and atmosphere of the OG.

 

[analog_future]

$40 is expensive for what this is, especially when Oblivion just came out for $50

 

[Artistic]

Releasing games, why is that a problem?

You don't want to maintain exclusives?

 

[rodrigolfp]

What the hell is an Xbox PC ?

The Xbox app on PC maybe.

 

[HRK69]

You don't want to maintain exclusives?

Let me awnser that for everyone:

Fuck no.

Xbox Fanboys: It's still only 4 games.

It's going to take Halo with a PlayStation logo on the box before green rats finally accept reality.

Where are all those fanboys? Haven't seen any here and if anyone on the internet is saying this, it's obviously trolling. It's more than clear since a long time that MS doesn't believe in exclusives anymore.

 

[viveks86]

What?! what?!
Just the first one? That is lame.

Yeah a bit surprised by that. Are they going to piecemeal this for each sequel?!

 

[Mibu no ookami]

It's disappointing they decided to go 40 dollars with only one entry. This should have been a bundle of entire trilogy for 60 dollars

Each one will probably drop for 40. That's 120 dollars and maybe a trilogy package for 100 once they're all out.

It was a straight port, I think you'd have a point but 4K120... I think it's fair to sell for 40 dollars.

I wonder if Halo CE will also be 40 or if they'll do a full on remake and price it at 70 (or 80...)

 

[Banjo64]

How's this different from the last remaster?

Precision Performance on Every Platform

No matter where you play, Gears of War: Reloaded has been re-engineered to look and feel incredible. Players can expect:

• 4K resolution
• 60 FPS in Campaign
• 120 FPS in Multiplayer
• High Dynamic Range (HDR)
• Dolby Vision & 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos
• 7.1.4 3D Spatial Audio
• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)
• 4K assets and remastered textures
• Enhanced post-processing visual effects
• Improved shadows and reflections
• Super resolution with improved anti-aliasing
• Zero loading screens during Campaign

 

[FMX]

What is MS honestly doing at this point?

Making money!!

 

[Orbital2060]

Spacing them out before E-Day is probably a good idea.

 

[Baemono]

Phil Spencer in a leaked email: "It's just taking a long time for Nintendo to see that their future exists off of their own hardware. A long time.... ."

Ironic

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Literally a remaster of Gears of War Ultimate Edition (turns out, that edition wasn't very Ultimate) that includes upgraded textures and all post-launch DLC. This version also supports 120fps, where the previous versions were capped at 30fps.

• 4K resolution
• 60 FPS in Campaign
• 120 FPS in Multiplayer
• High Dynamic Range (HDR)
• Dolby Vision & 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos
• 7.1.4 3D Spatial Audio
• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)
• 4K assets and remastered textures
• Enhanced post-processing visual effects
• Improved shadows and reflections
• Super resolution with improved anti-aliasing
• Zero loading screens during Campaign

I love GoW 1 and had a great time when I played Ultimate a few months back, but man... Every single release of this game strays further and further from the original's art style.

I'd kill for a re-release of the original PC version on GOG or something.

 

[Banjo64]

Major W compared to the rumoured collection with no online play.

Guessing MS were one of the publishers who didn't get a Switch 2 dev kit.

 

[Orbital2060]

I just hope theyve turned down the sound on Marcus' footsteps, that shit was annoying lol

 

[SentientStone]

Nice, Gears and Killer Instinct are literally the two series I wanted Microsoft to put on the PlayStation.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

So not only is it just the first game, but it's the sloppified remake version of the first game.

Meh.

 

[kevboard]

What the hell is an Xbox PC ?

there's literally an app called Xbox on PC... that's what this is. it's Microsoft's game launcher on PC where you can buy games, look for updates, access game pass games etc.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

People REALLY struggled to understand this. It's like they need that press release that the Xbox Series is discontinued, but they'll still be waiting for the next hardware announcement. There will probably never be another Xbox exclusive title again and this is only the 2nd pillar to drop. The next will be Halo Combat Evolved.

Phil Spencer: There are no redlines.
Xbox Fanboys: It's still only 4 games.

That's what delusion looks like.

Years of denial and echo-chambers has made some people completely oblivious to reality.

 

[obigbrubs]

What about 2, 3 and Judgment?

 

[RoboFu]

Just the first one? eehhh

 

[metareferential]

Wait, wait: it's an upgrade over the Ultimate Edition?

Fuck yes. It's the greatest Gears.

I was hoping for a collection a la MCC, but I'll take it.

 

[Celcius]

Nice, I'm in!
Hopefully we can get 2 and 3 someday too

 

[splattered]

Hell yeah free upgrade. Can't wait to play Multiplayer with our PS brothers!

 

[forsakkenSoul]

I've never played Gears of War, it's good that it will be released on Steam. Probably if this remaster sells well, they will do the same treatment with the other games.

 

[TheGodfather07]

I'm guessing that the next time we see e day, they will announce that it'll launch on PS5 too.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

This is 1 of like 2 games I have on the Xbox store. Free upgrade. Nice!

 

[mayham2199]

Nice going to play this my son.

 

[R6Rider]

Fairly interested in this. I haven't played the first one in a long time and only on the 360.

 

[WhereIzJP]

Cant wait.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Windows Store

 

[Sanepar]

Mp will be crossplay
?

 

[jshackles]

People complaining this doesn't have 2, 3, and Judgement: this was probably pretty low-hanging fruit for Microsoft. The Ultimate Edition remaster was done in the early days of the Xbox One, which means it's already on the modern architecture and can be easily upgraded / ported to other platforms. The other earlier games in the series are still stuck on the old 360 code, and would probably need to me remade from the ground up (like this one was).

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

How's this different from the last remaster?

Probably some fixed bugs and high performance targets.

 

[Connificent]

I prefer the original. UE was too colourful but 60fps is welcome.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

I remember hating the original on Xbox 360, it was also the game that made my system red ring. But maybe it will feel better at 60 FPS

True. Personally think they should just port 5 too as the MP was good on that one but they might want to carefully manage.

Hope it's not true. Imagine the PC version being limited to 4k and 60fps. -_-'

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Oh I thought this'd be a collection...

I'll get it on sale eventually. $40 is too much.

There's no point in owning an Xbox anymore

 

[dotnotbot]

So physical version owners get nothing and have to pay $40?

 

[adamsapple]

Little bit correction required there, the UE did get FPS boost on Series consoles and can be played at 1080/60.

Good that it's free for existing owners, would have liked the full trilogy.

 

[JaksGhost]

The leak was right about the release window and platforms, but was completely wrong about everything else.

[TheDarkPhantom]

Only 1 game, better be a hell of a remaster, definitely interested though on PS5 if the price is right.

It looks the same to me. Yall think this version looks different from the original?

I like the part where he called out his own BS in his own post.

 

[Cakeboxer]

I think thanks to Game Pass a used Series S it's still a viable option if your money is tight.
