Deffo loks better :). looking forward to playing this in august. The Beta was good. Brought back some good memories, with old friends.

Eldyraen3264d ago

Most disappointing thing about the beta was trying to play with friends :(

I guess they wanted to test out matchmaking but not being able to play as a party sucked.

Transporter473264d ago

Honestly not being able to play with friends was not a good thing. I hope they don't have an issue with the party system when the game launches.

Elit3Nick3264d ago

They didn't want the matches dominated by pre made groups for the beta, which makes sense.

Eldyraen3264d ago

It makes sense but for pretty much any group of friends that love Gears it was annoying. Everyone that I played with was excited about it all the way until we had to jump through hoops to play together (3 of us got in same game doing countdown joining but 2v1--couple other times we got split 2 in one game and others in another).

I still had fun though but it wasn't the same without friends (usually we would have full rooms of 4v4 custom matches of our own friends going).

FlexLuger3264d ago

"They didn't want the matches dominated by pre made groups for the beta, which makes sense."

Makes sense. It wouldnt be right to unleash me and my friends on everybody on live so soon when they are trying to show the game off. Give people a chance to get good at it and soak in the visuals. I dont give people enough time to do that kind of stuff. I get blood lust when I play gears. And I cant stop killing stuff, with the sniper rifle.It just sort of happens....one minute there there..next thing their head is rolling off their shoulders. Thats how I met some of my closests friends on XBL, before we added R6:Vegas then halo 3 and COD 4 to our 'games to play' list. I miss those days on XBL. Met some real characters ion XBL, and especially on gears. Gave me the feel playing that beta, much like playing CTF on halo 3's sand trap map. You NEVER forget stuff like that if you had some freinds to play that stuff with you. Gears was one of those games that gave you those moments. I wish this included horde mode. I have great memories of one of my friends yelling "we got buku movement" quoting platoon, everytime somebody was within eyeshot of my sniper. lol. Good times...fire for effect indeed. I cant wait for halo 5 gears 4 and forza 6 to bring XBL back to that. These games are must haves at all times for any real xbox gamer :)

cyckiewicz3264d ago

I'm also looking forward to get my hands on it. First Gears was the reason I bought X360. Maybe this time it'll be the same with Xbox One

Rookie_Monster3264d ago (Edited 3264d ago )

Don't forget this game will be packed In free with the XB1 when it releases so it could be a good time to get the system then.

Definitely this is how you make remaster. Instead of just bumping the resolution and increasing fps it also has alll new textures and even the cinematic scenes are different. Plus it has 5 maps previously not on the x360 version plus online, this will be awesome comes Aug.

cyckiewicz3264d ago

Didn't knew that. Maybe indeed I'll buy a new console then. Thanks for hint bro!

Ahmay3264d ago

Mad World Trailer was too good!

Adexus3264d ago

Oh man, that brings back memories, loved that trailer.

XboxOneX3264d ago

Buying an XBOX ONE will be the best decision you have EVER made!

u4one3264d ago (Edited 3264d ago )

the old version looks more vibrant - but also more cartoony. the new version is more muted but looks way more realistic. textures are better on the ultimate version. the helicopter crash was epic on the ultimate version.

i'd rather it be Gears 4 coming out first, but if you're going to remaster, this is how you do it.

tinynuggins3264d ago

Looks great, if you've never played the game don't watch because of spoilers.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756158d 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.

Blad3runner00158d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic158d 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.

TheEroica158d ago (Edited 158d 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!

RaidenBlack159d ago

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

phoenixwing159d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic158d 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.

Profchaos159d 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__Merrin159d 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_vulgaris159d ago

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

Concertoine158d 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.

Brazz159d 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."

Wyesvin163d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack163d ago

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

phoenixwing163d ago (Edited 163d 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.

CrimsonWing69163d 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*.

ocelot07163d 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_corn163d ago

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

Juiceid163d ago

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

raWfodog163d ago

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

franwex163d ago (Edited 163d 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.

neutralgamer1992163d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
