Experience the game that launched one of the most celebrated sagas in entertainment with Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. The shooter that defined the first generation of HD gaming has been painstakingly remastered in 1080P and modernized for Xbox One, and is packed full of new content including five campaign chapters never released on Xbox.
The story of “Gears of War” thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the depths of the planet. Players live and breathe the role of Marcus Fenix. A disgraced former war hero, Marcus seeks personal redemption as he leads his fire team against an onslaught of merciless warriors from below.
Rebuilt from the ground up
The landmark original Gears of War has been completely rebuilt from the ground up in full 1080P. Every aspect of the game including lighting, environments, characters, and cinematic scenes have been beautifully recreated - this is the first at its best.
New campaign missions
Included are five exhilarating campaign missions never played before on console that follow Delta Squad as they battle their way to Timgad Station.
Gears of War comic books
Go deeper into Gears fiction with five Gears of War comic books, which can be unlocked and read within the game.

Don't hold your breath, the IP is held by Microsoft.
Maybe when they close the xbox division but I don't see that happening for quite some time.

GOW is like the godfather you can't skip to the last in the series you have to go through the sequence to really feel it

There are lots of vids on youtube. Looks impressive compared to the standard original but for me not worth the time.
btw why do so many people play as (the rightfully disgraced) Baird? Loomis should have popped his skull. Bairds always play the same, even KOTH - hide behind a piece of wood and shoot around it or only come out when your back is turned. That must be sooo exciting for them. Zzzzzzz.

Good extra hour or so as well which was a bonus

Got my codes for preordering GoW4 digital this morning :smiley:
This is GoW 1 Remastered with the PC exclusive level. Bought the physical recently from Sainsburys for £10 if you prefer disc. Played it through and loved it, finally managed to defeat the last boss which I never did on the original release. I enjoyed playing through it again.
Also found that whilst the graphics look better, they look even more impressive when I was streaming my Xbox to my gaming PC on a wired network :smiley:
