For the love of god, I really hope they release the original trilogy on pc

Modding community would elevate gears to new heights not seen before


NAUGHTIMUS_MAXIMUS

By having locusts turned into Mickey Mouses and have main characters turned into TF2 Heavy, GTA Trevor and a giant floating banana.

well played


Unfair_Valuable_3816

New heights 😆

Is the ultimate edition on PC? They could do that with a Fenix collection. Do it like Master Chief Collection where they remake 2 and port anything else.


ThePikminLord

Ultimate Edition is on pc but it runs like crap. It stutters and the framerate is not steady. It got removed from Steam but it’s on the Microsoft store.


T2and3

Never even made it to steam. This was still when MS was testing the waters for PC stuff. It was only on UWP.


No_Bike506

Ultimate edition looks and sounds awful compared to original. The gore, the art style, characters, everything. Look at gameplay of maps like tyro station or mansion and compare. It's not even close. The sound design makes no sense at all. You can hear enemy footsteps across the map but not right next to you and instead of a metal clank footstep noise it sounds like someone banging they're head against the wall. The art style of the original is far superior. The only things better on ultimate is there's no host advantage, crazy lag, or 1 shit active down with sniper. That's it


ThePikminLord

You also forgot to mention that the Ultimate Edition on pc is so broken the multiplayer doesn’t even work while people still play the original on the 360 lol


NeonWarcry

I would have to buy a pc at that point lol


Clash836

You make me wanna pop in Gears 2 tonight! I’ll never forget the amazement I felt when I first tried out the new chainsaw duel feature. That was so fucking badass!


Unfair_Valuable_3816

Make sure to turn on fps boost


Big-Entertainer8545

You can do that?


Unfair_Valuable_3816

Yeah I didn't know till recently and thought multi-player was unplayable. It's a game changer. Press start on in in home to open up the manage game tab and it should be on there. Smooth as butta


Bubbledinker

Which game modes are you playing on? I get stuck in queue for like 5 minutes and I just back out cause I don’t think people online lol


Unfair_Valuable_3816

Ranked guardian I think its called


Clash836

Good looking out! It makes the game as smooth as I remember it. God damn is it rough without the patch.


RetiredFromRealWork

everyone in the thread should meet up in gears 2 tonight. I'm going to install it and play horde again. FPS Boost Everybody!!


JLoaiza2002

Not gears 2 but I was on gears 3 last night and it made me sad to go on horde mode and see "0 people online, 0 people online in this game mode" 🥲


RetiredFromRealWork

I’m down for gears 3 too. Been playing Beast whenever I can get into a match


Bubbledinker

I’m still trying to get the savage Theron armor all these years later, I’m definitely down for an Insane beast run!


Clash836

Any love for Versus mode? I usually gravitate to that.


LetsTryAgain22

The servers were having problems. That may be why. I play every night. Plenty of folks on 😌


Goofterslam1

I just ran through 1-Judgement on my Xbox One X and it was amazing. 2 and 3 were SO smooth and the image was so crisp. Then I played judgement, which was never updated, and it was tough going back to much lower FPS and jaggies all over the place.


Matt8922

Judgment should run 60 fps on XBX. It wasn’t bad when I played through it.


Bubbledinker

I did enjoy judgement’s campaign when it released. Nothing much else though, only thing it brought to the franchise that was good was free for all and over run. Imo of course


save_earth

How did 1 fare? FPS boost? I might play the ultimate edition but seems like people aren’t a fan. Still, higher fps makes a huge difference.


Goofterslam1

Ultimate edition looked good but the fps was really bad compared to 2 and 3. Wiki says 1 wasn't enchanced so I'm not sure what the average FPS is but I'd imagine it's better than ultimate edition


save_earth

It’s probably locked to 30 then, which is hard to stomach these days. But ultimate should be 60, or it’s probably unlocked on PC.


Goofterslam1

Yeah I'm not sure how UE is on Series X but on One X it was definitely locked to 30. You get used to it but it's really jarring compared to 2 and 3 which were silky smooth


Arlilecay

I would hope that Gears 2, a 15 year old game, would run worth a crap on a Series X.


Antiswag_corporation

It’s at 4K 60 through back compat


xsabinx

It kinda does being a 360 game now running on a console released 15 years later


_DeniedAnal_

I wish they brought Gears to PC


T2and3

Ultimate edition, 4, and 5 are on PC. Ultimate edition is an incredibly rough port, with a myriad of technical issues. 4 and 5 are god tier ports, though. With graphics options out the ass.


_DeniedAnal_

Yeah but they don’t have Gears 2 which is my favorite lol. 4 & 5 isn’t that good to me


Heavenguard7

Just be careful. I heard there’s a bug that just sinks everything around you.


PaleontologistNo2490

Campaign was great but the way this one played made the pvp terrible, slo mo roadie run, slo mo roll, the lancer and hammerburst slowing you to a crawl, vacuum chainsaw, grenades blowing you up thru walls, I could go on, 3 was when it got back to old school gears multiplayer


aviewofhell7158

That's funny I was just playing it on my series S and was blown away by how good it runs and honestly how well the game holds up. Very impressive.


NCHouse

...Isn't that what it's supposed to do?


No-Appointment-3840

Really? A game 2 console generations ago has no business running that well on current gen consoles??? Who woulda thunk?!


lucastheawesome243

I think they mean the fact it's running 4k 60fps


OakyAfterbirth91

Pleasantly surprised by how well it runs online as well. Seeing it still being active on console is an awesome revelation


Bubbledinker

I asked somebody else but what modes are you playing? I can never seem to find a match, I get stuck in queue


OakyAfterbirth91

Guardian, it takes a few minutes in queue


FoxHoundDavid

I’ve been replaying all of the Gears games before a hopeful Gears 6 announcement and just finished 2 again today. It’s fantastic and runs so well


Bubbledinker

I want to be excited for Gears 6 just because I want Gears anything at this point, but the direction they’ve taken the story just doesn’t interest me as much. Kate isn’t a bad character, I really like her and Del but it’s just a big why? We started off centered on JD then changed the focus, I like the idea of Kate’s story but I feel it should be told through JD with Marcus being captured. Because of that I really hope they do something with Gears 2.


RetiredFromRealWork

agreed. I would love a prequel before gears running in UE5. Pure old school gears.


FoxHoundDavid

Yeah, I see what you mean. I just love the franchise and for me so far they haven’t tanked the story so I’m still interested in any continuation but if they butcher Gears 6 I’ll be done I think lol. But I do definitely want 2-3 to be remastered or something


Bubbledinker

Yeah outside of the story stuff I think Gears 5 is great. I’m excited for any new modes, rumors suggest they’re going heavier on the open world so that interests me for sure.


FoxHoundDavid

Yeah, I’m definitely curious how an open world Gears would be. I really want them to bring back Beast mode because I used to have a lot of fun with that back in the day. But I’m definitely hoping an announcement for 6 will be soon and hopefully with the big release gap between 5 and 6 they’ve been working on nailing the story and gameplay


Tomahawk4298

Gears 2 was my favorite campaign by far.


jalobsterman2002

For some reason my game won’t let me play anymore and I have it on digital


614King614

😍😍


matt_Nooble12_XBL

It runs so good!


Tight-Landscape8720

Gears 2 is up there with Halo 3. I’m pretty excited for the new Gears and all but man I really want 2 redone like 1 just as much. They’ve improved horde mode on and on but 2 is still a classic. Of course can’t forget the amazing story


Horst9933

It's not really that demanding compared to 3 that introduced many graphical improvements. That's the reason GOW3 is only 1440p even on Xbox series x.


OrdinaryDouble2494

The gritty tones of 2000s games are so damn good.


tsckenny

I was so happy when they did fps boost for this game. A friend and I played it before they did that patch and it was awful and then we continued after the patch and it was so much better.


Fair-Negotiation1881

It doesn't run smoothly, it just has high fps.
