WHY

  • I am a GoW fanboy
  • Back in the day I used to play scrims with pro MLG players from the US and Europe and no game since has given me the same sense of team work and strategy.
  • I am curious to see how many members here on steamgifts.com that are interested in Gears of War coming to PC.
  • I am considering creating a private Gears of War Steam group where I will make regular pre-release giveaway's up until it's launch once Steam has a store page for it. Probably it will be a bi-monthly event or maybe two copies every calender month.

LINKS

  • I will add some links here if anyone needs answers to any questions.

Gears of War Ultimate Edition coming to PC

View Results
WTF is Gears of War?
Love the franchise - this is good news
Fuck Gears of War and more importantly - F U C K Y O U ! ! !

I had the games on my 360 and played them all by myself and in coop in most difficulties. I loved the wingman mode.
It was hard af since this game really requires some skill but hell, I had great times with it.
Not sure if I want to buy it for PC again tho. Not really that much into multiplayer anymore.

Will it be that ultimate edition thing with all the games? Probably gonna be around 60 bucks, right?

The learning curve is pretty steep to be honest and I can understand people having difficulty mastering it although even at lower skill levels it is really fun if you don't mind dying a lot.
It is the original game remastered for current hardware providing 4K resolutions and cross platform gaming between Windows 10 users and Xbox One users.
The pricing is quite inviting at $39.99, £29.99 and €39.99.

When you play co-op with a friend and both of you are running, the grunting noises you both make does sound like a severe bumming session. Not that I know what a severe bumming session sounds like, obviously : )

Not even for "research"? XD

But yeah, the choices of noises is rather unfortunate. Though might have something to do with the female writers for the game (no joke, one of the main writers is Karen Traviss who tends to have a lot of rape mentioned.)

Its dedicated servers but even though they promise dedicated servers I don't believe them. Gears 3 was dedicated servers for the first few months and then back to shitty p2p hosting.

Which is why CSGO, TF2 and DOTA are so successful I suppose. Nobody likes a dirty host.
Host advantage is ridiculous for Gears on Xbox.

I think they are honestly popular due to being able to make dosh on those games, not because the said games are any good.

Still find it funny there's games from 1999 that have better netcode and better tickrate than games today.

I agree TF2 isn't any good and to be honest CSGO is starting to bore me. But they're online quality feels pretty smooth for me most of the time and a lot of people still play these games, if online quality was shite I doubt many people would still play them.
Generally it is about how many calls are made on the engine.
So a simple game with simple and few calculations will normally have a much better response between players.
The problem is Gears isn't a simple game and there are a lot of calls made, although playing Gears of War 3 on dedicated servers was really impressive with very little ping between the players and the server. The problem was we were region restricted so if we played with a friend from a different region you were almost certainly fucked.

I think it's great that more games are coming to PC but I have no interest in Gears of War.
I don't know very much about it and from the outside it looks like an over the top macho shooter. :s
Not exactly something that would gain my interest.

So... what makes this series so amazing? :)

I don't know if I would say it's amazing but it's a high quality 3rd person shooter with some really nice gore and tight controls. Horde mode was really fun co-op with friends but I don't think they are adding it in this Ultimate Edition. The original part 1 did not have it. They really should have added it though.

Or "one inch step in the terrain means you can't pass" syndrome.

That has all ways been a pet peeve of mine, seeminly easy to pass terrain becomes impassable because bad programmers or intended.

Seriously, how can a crack in the ground that raises one side of a sidewalk 1 inch become impassable? ~~grumble

Or in may other games, a chair or table is in the way.... and your life totally depends on you getting to the other side... hello, you know you can climb over that right? (or in some cases involving tables... crawl under)

never played them but I used watch gameplay which got me into cover based shooter ghost recon phantoms...first game on steam.

Comment has been collapsed.

Same here dude, I love cover based combat.
I am not sure about hardware requirements but hopefully it will be well optimised across the entire spectrum.
I would imagine if you wanted to play in 4K then you would obviously need upwards of 6gb available vram to play on a single single screen at hopefully 60fps,
I know the developers are experimenting with global illumination so if you wanted to experience this then you would need a DX12 based GPU.
I believe a PC release date will be announced around the release date of the console version which is August the 25th or was that the 15th I forget. The PC version is expected this fall but there isn't anything official right now.

"Gears of War coming to PC"
GoW is already on PC years ago, I beat it. Now if they are putting out the rest of the series on PC, I'd like to check out the rest of the games too. GoW Ultimate appears to not be a collection though, just the first game only AGAIN.

Kind of like if MS rolled up and said "hey We're bringing Halo back to PC, the remaster editions from Xbox One!'
"Oh, but just Halo 1 and 2 that were released on PC before. None of the rest. Enjoy!"

"Back in the day I used to play scrims with pro MLG players "
I can just never take anyone seriously that plays a shooter with aim assist (console games).

It's a remastered version, I never played the original on PC.
I have no idea if they would recreate the other two games for PC or even Gears of War Judgement but I would definitely be interested in playing them if they did.
I think because Microsoft bought out the franchise from Epic Games and Microsoft's push to cross platform Windows 10 users with Xbox One users there is a likelihood that Gears of War 4 will come to PC sometime next year.

"I can just never take anyone seriously that plays a shooter with aim assist".
As for aim assist I believe this to be experimental with each update released for each of the games, there is definitely assists to chainsawing and melee strikes, as for power weapons there was never any aim assist at all ever.
I believe there were aim assist for the gnasher shotgun at close range in some of the later games but to be honest aim assist in Gears of War is rarely moaned about.
But to be fair there have been so many changes to the mechanics of Gears of War since it first release it is hard to pinpoint a definitive opinion to aim assist overall.
I'm just glad to see they have gone back to their roots and refined the original mechanics that are undoubtedly the most balanced and preferred among fans.

It is actually quite nice. Some people don't like the "wounds" mechanics, where the cards you use for actions also represents how many hits you can take (so when you're hit, you discard cards), but I think it's actually a clever way of representing the regenerating health of modern shooters (you draw cards at the start of your turn), while at the same time introducing some more tactical elements to the game. And the models are excellent, though there is one big flaw in regards to them: I can't tell the player characters apart as they are all burly men with shainsaw-guns.

It was the first game I played on Xbox 360 back in 2006, quite a while ago. Gears 2 was meh and Gears 3 was a big improvement on the Gears 2 but my all time favourite is the original so I am pretty hyped at how it has been improved for next gen.

I hope it it works on your OS but I think Windows 10 is for cross platform. I doubt they would limit it to just Windows 10.

I know Gears of War purely by rep. And I'm excited simply because I'm excited anytime a reputable console exclusive finally makes it's way to the PC. I won't be the first in line...in fact given shooters aren't my first love I'll probably wait for a sale where I can get it for less than $10. But I definitely will get it.

I'm not entirely sure but if I were them it would seem like the most logical way to distribute it.
I'm hoping I can use Win 7 or 8.1 I'm not too sure about Win 10 at the moment, a friend has been using the beta with version no problems playing games. I know you need Win 10 to play cross platform which would be pretty shitty if this is the only OS we can use.

Fair comment, it's just remastered with visual improvements and animations and a renewed multiplayer system with dedicated servers.
It is almost 10 years old and will most likely set the precedence for Gears of War 4 in 2016.
