So I guess this puts the "New Xbox" conversation to rest.

It makes zero sense for them to make another Xbox if most of their bigger games will be on Playstation.

agreed. but since when has that ever stopped microsoft from doing something?...

[Iced Arcade]

Was not expecting just 1 to be honest.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Jesus, these dance games are an abomination.

That's Fortnite, well, yeah. Same shit.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Microsoft going third party is awesome. Crossing my fingers for Sony and Nintendo to fail forward into the place they belong, too.

 

[scarlet0pimp]

Nice looking forward to playing this again, they had better release the rest of the trilogy too though.

 

[amigastar]

That's Fortnite, well, yeah. Same shit.

Oh really? Lol never played Fortnite but shit thats whack.

 

[winjer]

Haven't played this game since it came out a long time ago on PC.
Might be worth replaying it with this remaster. Though I fear the gameplay might be rather dated.

Looking at the screenshots, it seems a big upgrade over the original.
I wonder if it's using UE5 or UE4. Since it's the Coalition making this port, it will probably run silky smooth.

 

[Topher]

Probably the least exciting Xbox game to come to PC or PS for myself. Tried but Gears never clicked for me

Nintendo I don't think will ever be, but Sony is already doing that with that trash LEGO Horizon.

 

[cireza]

That main art is fantastic. The artist did a great job.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I wonder what's up with that rumored halo 1 remake. The version that is in MCC is fine but a real remake would be sick.

 

[solidus12]

Get your pitchfork ready adamsapple

 

[gunstarhero]

Did 1 have horde mode or PVP?

 

[BennyBlanco]

Nintendo will fucking die before they do something like this. Sony already ports their games to PC and with Xbox dead that is basically multiplat.

 

[solidus12]

 

[Baemono]

Interesting wording no?

Exactly. Like they want us to be ready for basically the Windows store rebranded

 

[DeepEnigma]

Get your pitchfork ready adamsapple

Is this the marching orders™ coping phase of these "influencers?"

Just weird meta-commentary around game releases. It's like some off ESPN sports panel

 

[SnapShot]

Jesus, these dance games are an abomination.

It's actually Fortnite but I see your point

 

[Baemono]

No I don't want my consoles to lose value

 

[LordBritish]

Best gears game imo... if you never tried it, get it for $39 and enjoy the multiplayer.. great time

 

[Matsuchezz]

There's no point in owning an Xbox anymore

Even when all these games were exclusive to Xbox, it was pointless to own one. August is just mere 3 months away, where is the trailer?

 

[Fake]

Jesus, these dance games are an abomination.

Fortnite, CoD... everything about modern audience is atrocious.

 

[Putonahappyface]

If this gets a physical release I'm in.

 

[Zacfoldor]

2 down, 1 to go.

Xbox's hold on console gaming has never been so precarious.

MC collection and the party's over.

C'est la vie.

 

[rkofan87]

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

i will try on gp but will get the bundle whenever that is out

 

[MacReady13]

Making money.

It's on Gamepass so no, they aren't making money off that. But dumb Playstation owners will buy this trash so they might make something from them.

 

[Astray]

Imagine being surprised by this and not following the GOAT of the game!

 

[Baemono]

Get your pitchfork ready adamsapple

I don't understand how you can make this kind of conclusion based on what Spencer said back then, it was very obvious that it was going to happen, and the guy is like « it's never gonna happen »

Amazing what losing your ass in sales and your ship is sinking will do to a companies way of thinking and force the zealots to fall in line or lose a portion of their meal ticket

 

[BigLee74]

Oh ya bastard - not even the original trilogy?

MS testing the waters for a future milking?

 

[Zathalus]

So it's not even a full remake in Unreal 5? Lame.

 

[Black_Stride]

Did 1 have horde mode or PVP?

No horde sadly.
Horde only started in Gears of War 2.

Hopefully they bring out Gears 2 and 3 with all the maps for Gears 3 style horde.

 

[Skifi28]

Microsoft going third party is awesome. Crossing my fingers for Sony and Nintendo to fail forward into the place they belong, too.

Most interesting way of port begging I've ever seen.

 

[Tiamat2san]

Did 1 have horde mode or PVP?

PVP only.

Horde appeared in the second game.
In the third there was also a beast mode (you played the locust)
It's a damn shame beast mode didn't make a comeback in 4 and 5.

Horde in 5 is fantastic though.

 

[Sooner]

2 down, 1 to go.

Xbox's hold on console gaming has never existed

FTFY

 

[mayham2199]

It's funny because they literally used the exact same playbook they did for bringing their games to PC and this guy still didn't realize it was happening.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

If it's a Remaster of Gears 1? Great!

Remaster of Ultimate Edition? Ehhh.

 

[Mr.ODST]

What is MS honestly doing at this point?

Draining every penny from the PS Fanbase

No doubt it means Halo will be on its way, I think Infinite and MC Collection need the PS Fanbase to up it up a little bit

 

[Montauk]

How's this different from the last remaster?

Look, it's been re-remastered. That's all you need to know.

 

[Fbh]

I'm slightly disappointed it's just the first game and not some sort of HD trilogy.
But this is still cool!

 

[mckmas8808]

The color grading and bloom make a big difference, which I think is especially true in motion. Some segments, like the cave in Act 3, also look pretty lifeless in Ultimate and don't have the exaggerated lighting of the original.

I realize that those effects aren't to everyone's taste, but I think it's a fundamental part of the game's look, for better or for worse.

Samething that happened to Shadow of the Colosuss. But the changes HAVE to be made! The extra bloom was a mistake and something from a yesterday era (2004-2012).

[mckmas8808]

Up until this price increase, Xbox was probably selling 50% of what Sony was selling in the US monthly.

300K units vs 150K units for example.

A good percentage of that 150K is casual gamers (varying degrees of casual).

Anytime you have the potential to increase your sales by 50%, it's kind of a big deal. Especially over time. Absorbing the remaining market share of Microsoft probably pushes the PS5 to 130 million units lifetime, compared to say 120 million.

100% agree! This is the goal. If Sony doesn't increase the price on the PS5 in America this year......then we'll know it was the goal.

 

[Drew1440]

Where the hell is 2 and 3? How many times can you remaster the first title?

 

[Braag]

Just the first game? Disappointing.

 

[mckmas8808]

Get your pitchfork ready adamsapple

Oh boy!!!! We are almost there!

 

[kevboard]

If it's a Remaster of Gears 1? Great!

Remaster of Ultimate Edition? Ehhh.

it's a port of the Ultimate Edition lol... I wouldn't even call this a remaster tbh. the Next Gen update of Doom Eternal added more graphical changes than this seems to add.

 

[Shmunter]

How's this different from the last remaster?

It's on a thriving console this time

 

[willothedog]

Where the hell is 2 and 3? How many times can you remaster the first title?

Apparently twice.
