Earth has it for 30 US. Seems like a decent enough deal to me.
Yeah, I wasn't in an ideal spot to show the difference when I took those shots, but it's there. You just have to force it globally. I don't know how to add W10 Store games to Inspector since you can't point it to the exe, so if anyone knows of a way to do that, it'd be helpful.

The microsoft article on the game said xb1 settings are "medium".

I've seen someone claim they were able to buy it from the Russian store but no one else.
Well the download finally finished. My main concern was frame pacing due to not being able to use RTSS but it looks good in that regard to me. Could be we just got lucky and the in-game frame limiter is actually a good one, I've seen plenty that aren't.
Running at 2560x1440 (downsampled to 1080p) on a 5820k/980. Some quick screens:
I've already seen a few cases of textures taking a while to load in.

be interesting to see if that marketing speak translates into noticeable visual improvements. also does the game support framerates above 60?
Is this with texture quality manually set to 'highest' instead of the default 'high'?

£23? cool, don't have xbox, MS are really cool for doing this.
The store is saying K+B, can we use the xbox controller?

What features were in the 05 version that aren't in this one?

Screens look good. Mine's still downloading at home. Can't wait to try it tonight.
By the way, are you downsampling through setting your desktop to a custom/DSR resolution? From what I've heard, traditional downsampling won't work because Windows 10 games don't (yet?) support exclusive fullscreen.
2 hours later, and no response from Microsoft and I still can't download Gears. Awesome store, so glad I tried it out.
Dont bother arguing with him. In his opinion, every game released on the windows 10 store should be $10. He also knows nothing about this game and insists that it's just a pc port of the original 2006 game.
He doesn't like the windows 10 store and is venting about it in this thread instead of in the official thread made for the windows 10 store.

I was having the same issue, turns out windows wasn't up to date.
Couch co-op?
If that is what you managed to comprehend out of my posts, then I'm surprised you can make it to a computer to even post. Congratulations for that I guess.
The original didn't have split-screen on PC.
DX10 version had MSAA setting. ¯\_(0_o)_/¯ Guess it was an oversight here as they mentioned months ago that the game was still using a forward renderer.
(Btw, Gears PC was 2007, 1 year post 360 release)
Was referring to the 360 version. The original on PC was gimped in that regard as well. Sad to see the trend of ignoring splitscreen/couch co-op continue.
New Nvidia drivers have been pushed out, mention this game specifically.

Is the download size really 60GB? What's the multiplayer like so far?
Now you're just trolling at this point.
"The games released on the store should be heavily discounted to even be considered by any sane person. " <--you said this, and gave an example of what heavily discounted means, which for this game, is $10. You also outright stated this game was being released at "full price" which, again, is false. It's $30, not $40
"It's basically a re-release of the original PC port of the 360 game"<--you also said exactly this. Again, you obviously know nothing about this game.
Please tell me how I'm getting the wrong idea from your posts again.

I honestly haven't used split screen since online gaming took off. I'm pretty sure I would hate it now.
Having options is fantastic, I still use splitscreen in every game that offers it.
Removing features shouldn't just be shrugged off like this.
It's great MS are finally catching up on PC gaming, it's not great that they'll be releasing gimped versions of the games.

does it have to be direct x 12? i think i am 11 with 560 ti card
Considering the current restrictions of Windows Store games, they shouldn't be priced anywhere near the same as a normal PC game. And it is basically a re-release of the original on the PC, complete with the missing features it had. Albeit at a higher resolution and muddy textures with more detail added, so there is that!
Ok, but the 360 version didn't have the complete Act V either, so no it's not a port of the 360 version.
They started with Gears PC.
So I didn't misinterpret any of your posts? Great.
So you were an ass and criticized my intellegence for no reason?
Have you bothered to look at any of the images shown in this thread? How is a game completely redone with a graphical overhaul, and multiple enhancements such as dedicated servers, new gametypes, and more fluid controls simply a port of a game released in 2007? Come on
Ports can have enhancements, actually try and think man. Unfortunately those enhancements are overshadowed by a full priced release on a restrictive XBox game on the PC, complete with all the restrictions a console would have.
This along with i missing features from the 360 version...

Again, calling this a port is just wrong. It's more akin to a remake. every single graphical asset has been remad from scratch. And this game has many improvements found only in other games in the franchise that came out AFTER the original. Such as dedicated servers, gametypes, character models used in multiplayer, weapon skins,
And again, it's NOT full price. The ultimate edition was $40 when it released less than a year ago, the pc version is $30. By your definiton of full price, the game would have been full price had it released today for a dollar.
The Xbox one version of the game was released at "over full price"?
Oops, no I'm still on the default 'High'. I might have done that on purpose now I think about it; I'd seen the 980Ti mentioned in the highest requirement bracket and assumed >4GB VRAM was needed. I'll give 'Highest' a go.
You're correct - Win10 "app" games means no DSR so we're relying on the game's own downsampling. The resolutions they chose a weird too, it goes very quickly from 1440p up to 4k with little middle ground.

Welp finally got game downloaded and menus run at like 5 fps with newest Nvidia drivers. Can't even change video settings because game crashes.
This has just been such a pleasant experience using GFWL 2.0

Are you using g-sync? Try v-sync.
Are you on the latest Windows version (1511)?
there is acceleration, however its vry playable. ive been palying it with keyboard and mouse cause i felt the controller was too slow, specially for turns. spacebar for springting is good too.

Yep that's the problem.

The game won't even properly load for me when g-sync is enabled. Turning it off in the control panel solves the issue.
980 SLI, 4790K, win10 obviously an the latest nvidia drivers.
Didn't they say that g-sync should work fine? They only aknowledged issues related to cutscenes or am I wrong?

First game only.
Pity. I'd assumed it was all three.
