Short Pause LIVE: Gears of War Ultimate Edition Gameplay

Short Pause: "So I had every intention of streaming of just one hour but instead, I got completely enthralled with the gameplay and overall presentation of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, and went on to stream for 2.5 hours instead! I'ver really enjoyed my time with this game and it further cements my stupidity for passing on the Xbox brand before this gen. I'd even go as far as to say that I prefer the Gears of War campaign and gameplay over the Halo series (so far anyways) by quite a large margin. The control scheme may seem a little dated compared to today's standards, but even then, the gameplay itself is tight and responsive, which was really surprising. I"m really looking forward to finishing through the campaign in order to prepare myself for Gears of War 4 next year. I may even fire up Gears of War 2 via backwards compatibility later this fall when the digital version becomes available; I've heard from many around the Short Pause offices that it's the best entry in the series."

Damn it looks good, cant wait to try it

This game was such a blast to play considering how old the game is, I give major props to Coalition for it's efforts. It was my first time playing a Gears game, and I'm super excited to play Gears of War 4 now. I'm even considering downloading the backwards compatible version of GoW2 when it becomes available this fall; I've heard that's the best one. This was an engaging and intense thrill ride and I strongly recommend it to anyone who may have missed it last gen.

generalwinter3165d ago

Yeah this is one time where backwards compatibility will be very nice

spicelicka3165d ago

If you bought this game you'll get all the old ones free right?

But one thing you should know, the campaign for Gears 2 is EPIC. It literally goes up 5 notches from Gears 1.

@Spicelicka

From my understanding, anyone who buys Gears of War Ultimate Edition before Dec 31st will also be able to download all the other games via BC when it launches this fall.

I've heard 2 is the amazing...really anxious to play through it.

Foehammer3165d ago

That's some high praise indeed, from both you and the author.

Game is being received really well.

Once I get back from PAX, I'm grabbing this.

tazmeah3165d ago

For an older game, it looks like Coalition did a great job at brining it up to date for the Xbox One. I've never played this series before but it definitely looks like theres no shortage of action or thrills here. Would be cool if all the sequels got the same treatment.

TheDude793165d ago (Edited 3165d ago )

It was thrilling from start to finish. And if anyone who buys Gears of War Ultimate Edition before December 31st is entitled to all the original games this Fall via backwards compatibility!

Blashted3165d ago

Getting the Gears Bundle soon, with an extra controller and minecraft for $349. Cant wait.

SkatterBrain1610d ago

can i trust them with my debit card?

franwex1610d ago (Edited 1610d ago )

Use a credit card if you are kinda leary. Not a debit card.
I have bought stuff from them and had no problems, so I guess it’s okay.

Thunder_G0d_Bane1610d ago

Orionsangel1610d ago

Are keys legit or will Sony unleash ban hammer

ElementX1610d ago

I've heard they're bought with stolen credit card numbers. The person gets the transactions reversed because it was stolen, but the "seller" gets the game codes to sell on CDKeys and other grey market sites.

paulust20021609d ago

The issue with these sites is that 'some people' buy keys in sales with stolen credit cards, then you buy the game from them...Then the company get the chargeback so it actually costs the game company money. I'm not convinced this is a vast majority though as pretty sure if it was a fraud site it woud just be closed down. Only issue I've had with an invalid key was for splinter cell blacklist for 38p. Pretty sure that is penny fraud. i.e. most people won't bother disputing as it's not worth it.
