Gears Ultimate Edition will be $39.99 & Includes Early Access to Gears 4 Beta this spring

Rod Fergurson has just confirmed on Twitter that Gears Ultimate Edition will include early access to the Gears of War 4 multiplayer beta.

super_bruno3667d ago

too expensive. Should be $30. Make it happen MS.

mikeslemonade3667d ago

This shouldn't be a remaster in the first place. FF7, FF8, and FF9 need a remake.

Paytaa3667d ago

@mikeslemonade Your comment doesn't need a remake..oh wait you remaster them all the time!

4Sh0w3667d ago (Edited 3667d ago )

Yeah speak for yourself mike, Gears came out awhile ago, nobody said it was ancient like those FF games but Gears is due for a remaster or you can just play the old Gears on X1 for free thanks to BC. I'm gonna do both because Gears is one of my favorite franchises of all time.

MilkMan3667d ago

Should be $30 for all three games. Not $30 for 1

@shloobmm3

Halo MCC had 4 game, 5 if you got ODST for free for $60, Gears is only 1 game and its $40, see where i'm going with this...

@GCO Gamer

It seems Gears 2 and 3 might be added later on according to Marcus Fenix voice actor.The guy has been trolling fans on twitter.

GCO Gamer3667d ago

I hope not. The simplicity of Gears of War makes it legendary too me.

jannytime3667d ago

So the beta is spring 2016? Cause spring ends in like 5 days..

3667d ago
jannytime3665d ago

i know spring 2016 ends in more than a year. but they said "this spring" i just wanted to clarify since we're still technically in spring til the 21st.

DarkOcelet3667d ago

I think 30$ would have been a perfect price since it is one game ( The same goes for God Of War 3 Remaster) But its great they are putting Gears IV beta in there.

nicksetzer13667d ago

just to put some perspective on it rare replay is $30 and has 30 games included so there is no way that one remaster should be more than that. I'm in agreeance that Gears of War and God of War should both be 30 bucks.

3667d ago
nicksetzer13667d ago

@pj it is gears 1, not 3. Also, yea, I get that. Still 30 games for a buck each is amazing. 30 phenominal rare games for a buck each is insane.

d_g3667d ago

This not just 1080p 60fps remaster

http://i1.wp.com/gearnuke.c...

http://i1.wp.com/gearnuke.c...

it's remake for the whole game with new Multiplayer and new extra story contact (90 Minutes )from PC

and you can play Gears 2 and 3 on  Backwards compatibility :)

Genuine-User3667d ago

Hope it's around £30. Nice one Microsoft.

-Foxtrot3667d ago

Whaaaaa....an online mode AND a beta

According to those who defending the Uncharted Collection it's not possible to have both incase you spilt your online install base up /s

Genuine-User3667d ago

It's only a single game. Let's not start this though.

Transporter473667d ago (Edited 3667d ago )

Uncharted Collection is a Trilogy. People would not be happy if only one of game of the trilogy gets MP. I think if they were only remastering one game they would have included the MP.

nicksetzer13667d ago (Edited 3667d ago )

just out of curiosity how do you think I would have went over if halo Master Chief collection did not have multiplayer? and that had 4 single player campaign and one of them was completely remade.

To be fair though, I agree, uncharted collection is no less appealing (at least to me) due to it being missing.

gangsta_red3667d ago

That's one way to make an excuse...or Sony could have provided both MP modes from both part 2 and 3.

Transporter473667d ago (Edited 3667d ago )

@nicksetzer1

Look at that disaster that happened with Halo MCC

@gangsta_red

That's one way to make an excuse...or MS could have included Gears 2 and 3 with MP.

Toiletsteak3667d ago

Nice, i can't wait to get my hands on it when i get my Xbox One which will be bundled with this.

5 Video Games That Should Have Been Shorter, and 5 That Should Have Been Longer

GB: "Nailing an experience's length is easier said and done, and one way or another, these games left a little to be desired on that front."

Petebloodyonion880d ago

I always have a problem with games that should have been longer when lasting 8-10 hours.
Here's a question I ask all the time when ppl say that.
How many times have you replayed the story of a great game like Tlou2, GOW, Final Fantasy remake, GTA, Zelda, or any other 20 hours plus game? and usually, the answer varies between 0 and rarely 1.

So what's the point of having great 30 hours plus games if you will never replay them because of level, section, grinding dragging too long?

Lifexline880d ago (Edited 880d ago )

I agree I’m not sure how people find the time to play all these games. 20 plus hour games are great but for me 8 to 10 is the sweet spot. Those games take to long to finish specially when you have a backlog of games waiting to be played. Plus 20 plus hour games always have downtime and unnecessary side quests that can be boring too much fodder imo.

Being on your phone is one thing you can access websites like this everywhere on your phone or mobile gaming. But games you have to find the time to play them. Which is why I don’t understand why so many people want like ten games it seems In a month.

LucasRuinedChildhood880d ago (Edited 880d ago )

I think you're missing the point a bit.

A game can be 8-10 hours long and use that time really well, but it can also only start to get good far into the playthrough and leave the player feeling short-changed.

Hotline Miami is only 4-5 hours long but it's extremely well paced and time well spent. But if only got really good towards the end, I'd want it to be longer.

Stanjara880d ago

You just look at trophies and se that around 20% or less actually finish their games.

CrimsonWing69880d ago

I've replayed all those games except GTA and Breath of Wild because I can never finish them.

The Last of Us 2 i've replayed 4 times. God of War (2018) 2 times, Final Fantasy Remake 3 time (technically Intergrade twice since went on Steam and I wanted 100% achievements), and if we do want to bring in Zelda I've played Ocarina of Time probably 4 to 6 times a few times on N64, another time on 3DS, and twice on virtual console Wii and Wii U.

I am sure I'm not alone in replaying long games and honestly it's like I'm finished within a week or two and that with balancing responsibilities and a social life. Shorter games take even less time.

BrainSyphoned880d ago

Without mentioning Skyrim.. I've got two platinum trophies for Persona 5 and am playing it on game pass right now. Beat FF7R on normal twice and hard once and will play it again before the next one. Non story games- MHW I've made characters on PC/Xbox/PS with at least 600 hours on each platform. I don't care to play a mediocre games that are 8 hours long. The reason my backlog is so long isn't because that many good games are released each year it is because I replay the best ones over and over. Same deal with audio books. I've gone through book series multiple times every time a new one is coming out.

Soy880d ago

Disagree with Days Gone - yeah it took a while to really get going, but I appreciated it when I was done. Jumping right in at 4-5 hrs or whatever would've made the rest feel less impactful. RDR2 and Mankind Divided felt just right too, I wouldn't change them at all.

What needed less time was AC Valhalla. I was more than ready to be done with that by the time it was 2/3 over. Just too much useless stuff, and I hated the Asgard sections.

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

Read Full Story >>
culturedvultures.com
KicksnSnares1105d ago

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies1104d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger6381104d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv721105d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho13371105d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever1104d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad1105d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds1105d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

Old McGroin1238d ago (Edited 1238d ago )

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

https://youtu.be/wy8LRlS1SC...

Neonridr1238d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies1238d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia1239d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey6021238d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian2291238d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares1239d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve1239d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares1239d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos1238d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong1238d ago (Edited 1238d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard1238d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol
