Microsoft Responds to Gears Ultimate Using Kinect Rumor

StickSkills.com writes, "Yesterday we posted a story in reference to the Gears of War Ultimate bundle possibly using Kinect, which we had still classified as a rumor. While there had been no official word at that point, it was a rumor that was swirling around the internet and was starting to make a ton of sense."

Thats actually a pretty good deal!

UCMEandICU4862d ago

so gears1&2 can fit on one DVD? Uhmm, well that's interesting to say the least.

What's the price of the bundle I didn't see any in the article.

@UCMEandlCu

gears 1 is 7GBs
gears 2 is also 7GBs

dvd is 8.5GBs

AAACE54862d ago

It would make more sense to me if they put both stories on 1 disc and all of the multiplayer on a secons disc and aviod the downloading all together. But they will probably just put each regular game disc in the package since people are so interested in having collections.

The selling point will probably be the inclusion of access to the Gears 3 beta or possibly even a free download of Shadow Complex, but that's a stretch.

hassi944862d ago

I read they said it would not have anything Gears 3 related such as a beta in it.

It is for those who don't have them or sold them, 30 is well worth it imo, and you get the DLC with it. Although i'd be surprised if there's an Xbox user who doesn't or didn't have them already

hassi944862d ago

I don't have them. Played the first briefly and disliked it, same with the second. If this is £20 or less in the UK I might give it a shot I guess, I've just never been enticed by it - especially the story which I thought was just plain cheesy and boring.

GWAVE4862d ago

I want Microsoft to release older Xbox games retouched to HD like Sony is doing. C'mon! I'd love to play Phantom Dust, the original Halo: CE, Mechwarrior, Otogi 1 and 2, Call of Cthulhu, Jet Set Radio Future, and stuff like that!

Thankfully Stranger's Wrath is being made for current consoles in HD...I knew I believed in God for a reason.

SkyGamer4862d ago (Edited 4862d ago )

Agreed. Phantom Dust was an awesome game. Still haven't beaten it yet though. I kind of want a new generation though. This one is good but could be better and the PC is getting held back and that isn't fair to gamers. So much power in the new PC parts and not using a fraction of its potential. Shame. I have 16 GB of ram and only use 5.5 gb MAX and that is compression/decompression.

Although Stranger's Wrath looks great even on Xbox still.

Booyah4861d ago

I agree with all of those remakes if they should come in HD.

Except I've never heard/tried Phantom Dust.

Muffins12234862d ago

But they are still making a profit,they wouldn't sale it to you if they lost money.

showtimefolks4862d ago

and all the dlc is on the disks so now downloading

i tried gears 1-2 found them to be really boring/slow but i would buy this again to give this series another shot

Vherostar4861d ago

I can buy Gears 1 and 2 for £10 for them both now though.. Might be worth it for the DLC alone but if you don't want the DLC its a rip off..

redwolf4862d ago

so no kinect support, good they left the game as it is

Imalwaysright4862d ago

Of course they did! Would you like Gears on rails?

RevXM4862d ago

Imagine that. xD

Rails... Id be the Cole train, Choo choo!

Vherostar4861d ago

Ah but if it had Kinect support you would be like Finally a hardcore game with Kienct support blah blah.. You guys are so 2 sided...

Imalwaysright4861d ago (Edited 4861d ago )

No im not 2 sided i just know that for a game like Gears to be played with kinect it would have be extremely dumbed down because "your body is the controller" is kinect main limitation. Dont act like you know me. I have a mind of my own and im not obligated to like kinect or everything Sony, MS and Nintendo does so kindly fuck off.

divideby04862d ago

as long as I can play Gears without Kinect, its still a must buy.

wwm0nkey4862d ago

Man some people are just on disagreeing sprees recently.

BShea4862d ago

That's an amazing deal for those that didn't get the first two games already!

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756102d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00102d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic102d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack102d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing102d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic102d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos102d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin102d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris102d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine102d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz102d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin107d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack106d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69107d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07107d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn107d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid106d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog106d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992106d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
