Gears of War on Xbox One up to Epic

[Zcythe]

Well duh I'm a Gears fan i should know hence the "implemented" part. Surely they could have added horde even if it wasnt part of the first game.

It's not a matter of if they could implement it or not. It's a remaster of the first game with some additional features thrown in. Extra content, in this case game modes, are bonuses thrown in to the package, but it is still a remaster of the game. They haven't removed a feature, and they aren't ripping anyone off of a feature that wasn't there in the first place.

Besides all that, the majority of Gears 1's maps weren't designed with Horde in mind. Does the first game have enough enemy variety for Horde? Do the COGs have enough variety and tools for Horde? I think people are oversimplifying the amount of extra work required to implement it.

Adding HORDE would be a ton of work to this game. Also we have had Horde (Gears 2) and Horde 2.0 (Gears 3). Let us just play Gears 1 ultimate this way and hope that GEARS 4 has a new better Horde!

At E3 2015, The Coalition's Rod Ferguson announced that Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, and HD upgrade of the Xbox 360 classic, would be coming to PC. Showcased on Xbox One at Microsoft's E3 2015 press conference, Ultimate Edition for PC will run in 4K and have DX12 support.

When asked if we can expect any other Gears-related news for PC gamers, Ferguson gave a coy response about something that might be announced in the future, which could hint at the possibility of the recently-announced Gears of War 4 coming to PC at some point.

Does anyone know if it's 1080p native?

Yes, it is.

They call it "Gears Ultimate Edition" but it doesn't have the other games or Horde Mode.

It's the ultimate version of Gears of War and it will be glorious. Can't wait.
