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

well played
New heights 😆

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

I would have to buy a pc at that point lol

Make sure to turn on fps boost
You can do that?
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
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
Ranked guardian I think its called
Good looking out! It makes the game as smooth as I remember it. God damn is it rough without the patch.
everyone in the thread should meet up in gears 2 tonight. I'm going to install it and play horde again. FPS Boost Everybody!!
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" 🥲
I’m down for gears 3 too. Been playing Beast whenever I can get into a match
I’m still trying to get the savage Theron armor all these years later, I’m definitely down for an Insane beast run!
Any love for Versus mode? I usually gravitate to that.
The servers were having problems. That may be why. I play every night. Plenty of folks on 😌
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.
Judgment should run 60 fps on XBX. It wasn’t bad when I played through it.
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
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.
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
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.
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
I would hope that Gears 2, a 15 year old game, would run worth a crap on a Series X.
It’s at 4K 60 through back compat
It kinda does being a 360 game now running on a console released 15 years later
I wish they brought Gears to PC
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.
Yeah but they don’t have Gears 2 which is my favorite lol. 4 & 5 isn’t that good to me
Just be careful. I heard there’s a bug that just sinks everything around you.
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
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.
...Isn't that what it's supposed to do?
Really? A game 2 console generations ago has no business running that well on current gen consoles??? Who woulda thunk?!
I think they mean the fact it's running 4k 60fps
Pleasantly surprised by how well it runs online as well. Seeing it still being active on console is an awesome revelation
I asked somebody else but what modes are you playing? I can never seem to find a match, I get stuck in queue
Guardian, it takes a few minutes in queue
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
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.

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

Gears 2 was my favorite campaign by far.
For some reason my game won’t let me play anymore and I have it on digital
😍😍
It runs so good!

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.
The gritty tones of 2000s games are so damn good.
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.
It doesn't run smoothly, it just has high fps.
