What's the point?

[gamz]

Remastering the whole trilogy would make sense, not remastering the first one second time. Strange move from Microsoft...

[dsoon]

Agreed

[Guts]

The point is to charge US$39.99 to everyone who doesn't have the game and make a profit again, especially with the Steam and Playstation crowd.

do you want a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like the master chief collection? releasing the games one by one would be the best option.

[metal_hamster]

Because the game is FUN.

In all fairness... MCC was fine in singleplayer, it was the multiplayer that suffered. I have hope that they are doing these remasters one at a time, and will bundle the rest as "DLC", the same way they did MCC (via steam)

Would be nice to get confirmation on this, since I don't think many will buy this if it's JUST the first game.. Again

It's better than nothing. I want the Trilogy as well and we might get the whole series eventually, but Jesus some of you guys are just never happy. They could have done a trilogy remaster and you guys would still be crying about it.

Agreed! People are never happy. There is already a few topics regarding existing owners of UE on MS store who will get reloaded version for free. And now those owners are speculating if they will get it for free on Steam. Fat chance, they will require you to purchase it to own it on Steam. I have no issues buying it on Steam for crossplay mp (as that will be my main reason for buying it).

Yeah it'll be free on the MS store but not Steam. I can guarantee that, but even if I did get it for free on the MS store I'd still buy it on Steam. Only way we are going to get 2 and 3 is if it sells well.

There's a lot more than 3 Gears of Wars though. It would a gigantic task.

lazy demaster port

[Revolt]

To milk more$$$

[Elrond Hubbard]

It's because Gears 1 already has a complete remaster with a functioning PC port, so tweaking it and releasing it on Steam is easy. A full collection would require going back to 2 and 3 (and maybe Judgment), doing a lot of work in Unreal Engine 3 (which hasn't been updated in a decade), and giving them the same visual spitshine (because MUH BAD GRAFIX). That's a lot of extra effort and expense compared to a rerelease.

If this does well and Microsoft sees there's real interest in classic Gears on PC then maybe they'll put in the effort needed for a full collection. A lot of people who jumped off of Xbox when they bungled the XB1 launch probably haven't played Gears since the 360 days, so I think you'll see some people buy this for the nostalgia kick. It worked for Oblivion.

[Iggy Wolf]

It's almost like people are also ignoring the fact that this is the first time it's coming to PlayStation. If you already have or had played it on Xbox or PC, it may not mean much to you. Though keep in mind the current version of Ultimate Edition on MS is poorly optimized. People have been wanting a working version since it broke.

[WitheredVirusN100]

I bet that this game's source code are lost, so I think they decided to gonna remake the whole sodding thing again, since they remade some bits with upcoming E-Day thing or whatever.
Plus, as a excuse to justify 60-80 usd price tag.

It's finally became playable on not just PlayStation but also Linux too tho.
