This caused some debate amongst console enthusiasts with some in favour of a cross-gen release and others highly opposing such a move. Is it such a bad thing?"
As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.

All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
Marcus Fenix and the crew could be back on your screens once more, as the rumored Gears of War Collection is near completion on Xbox.
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
tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear
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."
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*.
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.
A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.
Good question
First off GOW is rumoured to release in 2016, that would make the 360 ELEVEN years old. A very long time for a console to be supported, but not unheard of.
They could do it like Forza Horizon 2, TWO different developers, or 2 teams. That way the X1 would have the same advantages as FH2:
higher resolution
more content (700 events vs 500 in FH2) a matter of disc size, multi DVD vs BlueRay
dynamic weather and lighting
Forward + rendering (a console first on FH2)
4x MSAA
Edit, I have to laugh at some of the comments below, the same ppl that say MS abandoned last gen are saying that GOW should not be cross gen, go figure, MS is damned if they do or damned if they don't.
No. We want a next-gen gears, not a cross-gen one. Gears needs something special to reinvigorate life into the franchise and it doesn't need to be help back by last=gen constraints at all.
This should be a showcase of what the X1 can do.
2 dev teams 2 versions as long as XB1 version pushes the hardware for a true next gen experience for the series. Otherwise it would not be worth it.
yes it should be cross gen
Of course not, with this move MS keep showing us that their not yet confident on its new machine.
If we look at Sony I don´t think UNCH 4 will be crossplatform now we can expect for sure that ND will use the most of the potential of Sony´s next gen console. Sadly you cannot say the same on MS and Gears of War.
It is so obvious.
2 devs 2 teams yes but the XBONE team will have to be constanstly asking to the X360 team if they are able to do this and that.
(I have a ps4 but I love Gears of War)
