Any PC gamers out there that may be new to the series, here’s the long-story short: You’re Marcus Fenix, a big, bad gorilla-sized soldier imprisoned for disobeying military procedures.

For the purposes of this article, it’ll be entirely focused on PC specific features. We delivered a full run-down on its multiplayer, the new and improved cut scenes, bonus features and a brief story flashback, which for all purposes sake remains the same.

Now that we have some history on the game and why it’s so important to the platform, what’s it about? Well, if you want the full scoop read our initial review of the Xbox One version. The developers at The Coalition have taken things that much further with the PC version, delivering native 4K support and 60Hz gameplay. Gears of War: Ultimate Edition has been re-built from the ground up, based on the original source code. This isn’t your everyday, run of the mill remaster. And let’s not forget the game’s complete graphical overhaul. Releasing last year on Xbox One, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, served as a refresher of the original game as well as providing a taste of what’s in store for Gears of War 4 in terms of visual prowess.īringing a horde of new features such as support for 7.1 surround sound, dedicated servers, additional multiplayer characters, and all the DLC from the original, this stands to be the best version of the game yet. And with many titles hitting the PC this year there’s one in particular that seems most appropriate for leading the pack. Now under the watchful eye of Xbox Head Phil Spencer, the company’s new initiative in bringing former Xbox titles to the PC is one that’s welcomed.

When the sequel was released however, many PC gamers became distasteful of Microsoft and were left feeling abandoned as the company’s focus had now shifted, with the remaining sequels tied exclusively to the Xbox 360. Originally launching on both console and PC, Gears of War was a stellar win for console and PC gamers alike. Some might say that Gears of War defined that generation. Back in 2006, Epic Games launched one of the most successful and inspiring franchises on the Xbox 360. Gears of War: Ultimate Edition has finally arrived on PC and with the many rumors, speculation and leaks, the expectation as to how it will look and perform is certainly high.
