Last week at Gamescom, Microsoft invited us to get some hands-on time behind closed doors with Gears of War Ultimate Edition.
Experience the iconic adventure that launched one of the most celebrated sagas in gaming 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 with all-new content, including five campaign chapters never released on Xbox and heart-pounding 60 frames-per-second multiplayer action.
“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 step into the boots of Marcus Fenix, a disgraced former war hero who seeks personal redemption as he leads his fire team against an onslaught of merciless warriors from below.
Here is how it looked on the Xbox 360:
And the same shot from the Xbox One version:
Downpour
Here is a few minutes of gameplay footage on the co-op campaign Downpour level. There is a problem with the sound in the middle of the video for a few minutes, apologies:
Desperation
Here is a few minutes of gameplay footage on the co-op campaign Desperation level.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will be released on August 28th for the Xbox One and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Looks great.
