Man I suck at this online. I feel no matter how many shots I take at someone they just don't drop. I don't remember being this bad on the original. I guess I'll just blame old age
If it makes you feel better there's no possible way you're worse than me lol.

I played team deathmatch and out of the three rounds I got 1 kill. It was rough.

man, auto uploads should only happen if you quad kill the opposing team or something else equally amazing, not a silly grenade tag :/
When will devs learn
Seriously! That's some annoying ass bull. And u have to turn off your game DVR entirely to stop it.

Curious if the Gnasher works just like it did I. Gears 3. Sometimes I feel like I'm right on somebody, and hip fire right fucking past them. Any ideas?

So how do I access my free copy of Gears 1? I'm in the preview program.
I seem to read that Judgement is also BC now.

I'm probably shittier than both of you. I frequently end up with no kills and am often dead weight on a winning team.
1 on 1 matches end up being stat boosters for the opposing player.

gears 1 shotgun shoots from the camera over the sholder and it's the most annoying bullshit ever, they should have fixed it for this version.
example from the beta:
Freedom = $1.05

So it's confirmed that even if youre in the Preview program you don't immediately have access to Gears 1?

Well, fuck. This is probably why I didn't like the beta, because I was missing a ton of shots that should have hit. Wow.

Gears 1 shotgun shoots at the centre of the screen - always. Changing it would not be gears, and its actually easier to predict where you shoot. ALWAYS centre, none of this spinning round looking where a barrel points to.
If youre not sure, tape something to the centre of the screen

gears 3 has bullets from the barrel right? because that felt fine to me, again it's been a while since I played gears 3.

It should shoot like gears 3...
Since this is a Gears 1 remaster, it really shouldn't.
It should shoot how the original did. I don't understand all the hoopla about center-screen vs from the barrel, I adapted just fine with Judgement (center-screen) after playing Gears 3 for awhile (barrel). Neither fixed the Gnasher's issues, there is just something inherently wrong with the weapon. I doubt it's just servers, connection etc.

Because it's not like they didn't add features from other gears to this "remaster"...It should shoot like gears 3. I can play it either way, but it doesn't change the fact that gears 3 did the gnasher better imo.
And I think Gears 1 did the Gnasher better. And if it's about priority where "either flies"...I think the Gears 1 feature should get the priority (because again, it's a Gears 1 remake).
I'm not sure what other features they really added to the gameplay (Besides spotting, and that's a very minor addition)...The things they did add are just about modernizing the experience and making sure it's not the exact same game that came out 9 years ago. Not lifting features from the other games that will affect how the first game plays.

I don't know if we got confirmation, but it's likely.

Opinions are opinions I guess..I like my rounds to come from the barrel, not from a Hud camera. Wonder how many people will grab a piece of tape like back in the day, for a makeshift ridicule lol.

example from the beta:
If that's the case, then it makes sense why I feel all my shots go through and rarely land. I do get a lot of headshots hip firing. Seems like something they should have adjusted.

It's pretty dumb though. And it was always dumb which is why they rightfully changed it and then changed it back in the worst Gears. Did they fix the thing where you could kill people without turning around because it came from the center of the screen?

Yea bullets come from the hud center, not the actually barrel...............Thought they'd use the fixed version after the beta.

That's exactly why it's hard for me to come back. Debating this purchase. Tempt me fellas.
I played the original to death and got the Seriously achievement.
I was too...
I've already played Gears 1, the prospect of 2&3 were enticing to me, but I don't want to replay for this. Plus I don't plan on migrating to Win10 for a while.
I played the original on XBOX as well, I forgot it ever had a PC release. I wonder why it didn't get more rep. What happened? Did they shut down the servers or something?

What is meant by "new art style"?
Diablohead
Member
well the new style is more like gears 3, brighter, less deep black shadows on everything and a lot more colour pop, gears 1 originally was a dark and gritty looking game for the most part.

I remember Gears 1 by its 3 colors: grey, brown, and black.

There was trick you could do where:
If you aim the sight of the Longshot, then put blutac in the very center of the crosshair on your TV, THEN get into cover and aim with the blutac, you could blind fire in cover with a more accurate reading of where you're bullet was going to land.
Yeah pretty much. I think that was also in part because Epic managed to push out of the UE3 with Gears 2. It really showed too. Gears 2 and 3 really are beautiful at times (regardless of what Jim thinks).

So there isn't a separate download code included in the box that gives you access to the 4 games once they're added to BC this fall? Microsoft just reads if you've played the game online before 12/31 and you'll gain access to them?
My copy should be on my doorstep when I get home from work

There's not a list of unlockable characters for MP, right?
I'd love to play as my Mechanic Baird from Gears 3.

And the Best Buy I preordered it from is still fucking closed because of some fire marshall closing it down. Unbelievable.
I may just go pick it up from GameStop and return it when I pick up MGS V next week. What a pain in the ass.
