Great news and another benefit of BC.

KiwiViper853070d ago

Especially for a Gears of War virgin like me. I only played through the tutorial of ultimate to ensure my codes.

I hope the difference between GOW:U and GOW2 isn't too jarring, but I've heard they were quite graphically impressive at the time of release, so should be fine.

Fatdrinkofwater3070d ago

Its fine but just be aware there is an input lag issue for all the 360 gears using BC at the moment.

I have no doubt it will be fixed with an update but for now it feels a little floaty with the controls.

Great games tho and judgement is fun dont believe all the hate its a great game in its own right.

jsin943070d ago

What are these tokens exactly? I will be getting the Xbox that comes with the ultimate edition for Christmas and would really like to know. :P

Fatdrinkofwater3070d ago

Its a message with tokens and under the message you click redeem code 1 or redeem code 2 so you dont even need to enter the codes.

But... Sorry to say if your getting gears ultimate for xmas it will be too late.

You have to have played it before dec 1st or something to get the old gears free

Jag-T10003070d ago

You have until Dec 31 to get the free games.

ShadowNextGen3070d ago (Edited 3070d ago )

As long as you play Gears of War: Ultimate Edition online before December 31st then you should get the franchise codes for free. You won't get them immediately as it might take a week or two but you should definitely still receive them.

Gears 3 came before days ago in my library.

KiwiViper853070d ago

Same, its because you downloaded it when it was GwG on 360.

At least that's how I got 3 early.

TheUberAsian3070d ago

lol, hope you used those codes before some one takes them

Revolt133070d ago

Yup! Got mine few hours ago :)

Black0ut3070d ago

Just got my two Gears codes then along with the special preview member-avatar item =)

No complaining here!!!

s8anicslayer3070d ago

I thought Judgement was included as well?

CroKiller3070d ago

It is. I played just before few minutes. You'll have your code if you didn't get already.

s8anicslayer3069d ago

I got two codes, one for 1 and 2

Immorals3070d ago

Got mine. Just waiting for judgement!

Does this sign you off your 360 if you play on your one? My friend uses my account on 360 for Netflix, and no one wants to be signed out on wave 50 of horde (again..)

KiwiViper853070d ago

Did you give him a nice funeral?

Immorals3070d ago

Not yet. He owes me money.

Fatdrinkofwater3070d ago

Nah you can play both 360 and xb1 at the same time with the same account.

illtownNJONE3070d ago

he should create his own profile, you dnt need gold for apps anymore

(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)
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.

Wyesvin90d ago

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart575691d 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.

Blad3runner0091d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic91d 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.

TheEroica91d ago (Edited 91d 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!

RaidenBlack92d ago

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

phoenixwing92d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic91d 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.

Profchaos92d 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__Merrin92d 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_vulgaris92d ago

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

Concertoine91d 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.

Brazz92d 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."

Wyesvin96d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack96d ago

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

phoenixwing96d ago (Edited 96d 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.

CrimsonWing6996d 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*.

ocelot0796d 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_corn96d ago

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

Juiceid96d ago

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

raWfodog96d ago

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

franwex96d ago (Edited 96d 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.

neutralgamer199296d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
