"Gears of War remaster coming to Xbox One, sources say" (by Splash Damage)

next year is the 10th anniversary of gears

holy shit..

Oh my God, where does the time go?

I was hoping for a collection but people bringing up MCC have a good point.

The title made me laugh and think to myself "If you eat a lot, you'll poop a lot, sources say."

Horses are going to be held before I get too excited on this one. The first gears is great, but let's see what tbey are doing to it first.

Really not excited, especially seeing how well Halo: Master Chief Collection turned out.

If it's a single game then I would expect it to work perfectly. Also, each Gears game uses Unreal Engine so at least porting may be a little easier than what it was with the Halo games.

Forgettable for you, but to a lot of people it's one of the best 3rd person shooters out there. Myself included

The multiplayer, arguably. But the single-player campaign just doesn't hold up.

Back then it was the first bright beacon of next-gen gaming with it's amazing graphics but it has been a long fucking time since then. Not really a campaign I feel is worthy of replaying in any capacity. Not on PC, not on Xbox one.

A 2 disc game? What?

I'm referring to these:

I've very skeptical that we'll get a full Uncharted trilogy. Seeing how they managed the GOW3 "remaster" and that each of the games already take up a 25GB Blu-ray.

I also seriously doubt it. An uncharted trilogy remastered would likely take over 100GB of HD space (TLOU:R is 40+GB).

There are no appreciable gameplay design differences between the campaigns of 1, 2 and 3 -- save for 1 having a slightly more "horror" tinge to the story, with 2 and 3 falling into some ridiculous overdramatic trappings as far as the story itself goes.

I personally think 1 has the best campaign of the bunch, by a decent margin. 2 and 3 were lost in setpiece moments that lacked punch and lacked fun, IMO.

If they are doing one game only, I'm glad it's the first one :)
 
I'm cool with just getting the first game, but it would be even cooler if they could go ahead and cram a horde mode into the game. I don't need GoW2's single player game, but dat horde mode is worth the price of admission.

maybe. i never got to experience it as anything more than a laggy bugfest.

They really need dedicated servers. Gears of War 1 was amazing multiplayer but the host had a slight advantage (though killing the host was so satisfying). Playing Gears of War 1 MP again without any alterations aside from host advantage removal, no crab walking, and no jumping out of the stage, would be heaven.

Depending on what price they try to sell at I could see that making it in.
 
I enjoyed the Gears series, all very solid third person shooters with some funny silly moments (the worm) and some awful ones (the Mansion iirc and those monstrous trial and error bits like Kryll and the ice lake).

I've no interest in a remaster, save to find out what price point it'll be, as an academic interest for how they're presenting it.

Again, just your opinion. I've replayed it a little over a year ago and it holds up well, I'll be getting this day one, If you're not interested in it, don't buy it. It's gonna sell very well imo

And if it sells well, which it will, they'll most likely remaster 2 and 3 after
 
10 years.

Gears of War Anniversary

Just a mock up, but its hard to believe its nearly been 10 years.
 
Eh. Gears 1 was great at the time, but I'm not sure I'd want a single remaster. I'm assuming speed was priority though. Honestly this is just as baffling as the God of war 3 remaster. Kinda funny that both GoWs are getting single game remasters this year.

As someone that came in from gears 2 I really wanted a collection... Gears 3 would have been great with 60fps + dedicated servers

The MCC was an embarrassing shitshow, but they did have multiple engines and outsourced code to throw together.

Unreal should be easy to port, especially for one game.
 
Polygon has reached out to Microsoft and Black Tusk Studios for comment on Gears of War for Xbox One."
Nothing more stupid than this shit every time.
"XXX has reached out to XXXX for comment on XXXX top-secret project, but no reply yet"
Yeah, no shit. Of course they don't comment on that.
Why should they?

We know it's coming. Why should they talk about un-announced stuff with you?
 
At least some good will come out of this generation ending soon. There is no way in Hell publishers could pull this nonsense consecutively.

Gonna have to fix the x1 remote if they decide to re-release the old Gears games. The left stick is not friendly for cover hopping.

It's commonplace to ask for comment. You know you're not going to get anything meaningful but you have to ask for posterity.

Also, I loved the original Gears of War on the Xbox 360. Gears 2 had horde mode, so I probably played it more, but the original game had the best campaign, IMO.

You know, if this is a reasonably priced remaster ($30?) I will consider it.

it'll be $60 and you'll buy it.

So happy they're just focusing on Gears of War 1. Hopefully they keep multiplayer, weapons and maps exactly the way they were.

still waiting on those dedis for gears 3. that shit was never on like they promised.
it was in the beginning but then they made it so only people who had all the map packs could play in dedicated games iirc
