Free ‘Gears Of War’ Titles Won’t Include DLC With ‘Ultimate Edition’

INQ: Microsoft announced earlier Monday that Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on the Xbox One will come with all four Xbox 360 titles from the series for free. At the suggestion of a reader, I contacted the company about where the DLC and Season Passes fit in the picture. The response is not surprising, but there is a mix of good and bad news for those that haven’t purchased some or any.

Does it matter. They are a bonus

Least we got something extra

suckingeggs3180d ago

Exactly

Who cares.. Still a great deal.. 29.99 for all of this is cray

Amazing deal Microsoft can't wait kudos

I agree, its like damm man when you get served some good steak 'n lobster, dont ask where's the tea, just eat man, just eat.

Halo included it all gears should include it all

isa_scout3180d ago

Halo was a collection this is one game... The other free Gears games are BC 360 games. I think it's great for $40. Did you see the Gears UE vs the original video from Gamespot? Holy shit that blew my mind, August 25th can't come soon enough.

OC_MurphysLaw3180d ago

For the 360 versions I would imagine if you bought the dlc before it will be available would it not?

JeffGUNZ3180d ago

Funny thing is I had all the DLC from Gears of War. I am in the preview program and got a used copy of Gears yesterday since they made it BC. It said I did not have the DLC. I wonder if it is just a bug since they just made it BC and BC is still in preview/beta.

CrowbaitBob3180d ago

Yes. You'll have access to anything you've purchased as the purchases are attached to your Xbox Live account.

MadLad3180d ago (Edited 3180d ago )

Exactly.

People weren't expecting more than what was originally on show - a remake of the original, plus the added mutliplayer - and most seemed fine with it.
Then they say the past titles will be available as well as extra goodies. Better yet!

Now . . . now some "journalists" - those with nothing better to do, however - feel the need to whine, trying to drum up a little bit of drama around the fact that they won't include the DLC for said extra goodies.

I mean . . . really.
Give it a break.

Mikefizzled3180d ago

For all those interested definitely pick up RAAM's Shadow dlc for Gears 3. Getting to play the game from the legendary General's POV is great.

BillytheBarbarian3179d ago

If you're going to do multiplayer it matters because 70% of the maps were dlc.

0to1003179d ago (Edited 3179d ago )

i care, the games are really old yet they still haven't made dlc free yet, i remember the early days on 360, they would have the paid dlc for a few months & eventually made them for free.

it ruins it for people who paid for dlc as it's harder to find games

now everything is about screwing gamers & $$$$

As someone who already owns the dlc I'm fine with this and they're practically giving these games away for free with Gears UE so no one can complain

Black0ut3180d ago

Not sure about everyone else but that totally doesn't worry me. Looks to be great value thus far.

Rookie_Monster3180d ago

Al DLC are BC anyways so if one want DLC they can still buy them on the marketplace or if they have them already, they are free to use them and will work. I think that is why we will see many games will be BC when developers can sell extra digital contents for them still.

gangsta_red3180d ago

It would have been nice to have the DLC with the older titles but since they are basically the 360 versions and nothing else I guess it makes sense.

Hopefully MS will just make the extra maps free.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart575693d 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.

Blad3runner0093d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic93d 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.

TheEroica93d ago (Edited 93d 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!

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

phoenixwing94d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic93d 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.

Profchaos94d 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__Merrin94d 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_vulgaris94d ago

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

Concertoine93d 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.

Brazz94d ago

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