Gears of War Triple Pack hits retail on Feb. 15

A previously rumored bundle containing the first two Gears of War games is now official and headed to retail, several months before the debut of Gears of War 3. The Gears of War Triple Pack includes the brotastic original game and its sequel, along with the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Pack. On top of the 19 multiplayer maps in All Fronts, it has Marcus and Dom playing dress-up to get into the biggest Locust party of the year in the single-player DLC, "Road to Ruin."

a game like gears of war would be in everybody's collection by now so not sure if this is going to help much. they should have prolly added the beta of 3 or something

RedRedSuitSDF4853d ago

They are adding the beta for 3. So I've heard.

creatchee4853d ago

@Ksense
Well Gears 1 and 2 each sold less than 8 million and there's over 40 million 360s out there, so there are a lot of people who don't have the games.

likedamaster4853d ago (Edited 4853d ago )

The game's not for everyone. Still did excellent numbers for a shooter of this type.

ReBurn4853d ago

I didn't buy either the first or the second, so if the price is right I might consider getting this.

Excalibur4853d ago

If Epic would get off their @ss an release the PC version on console I would triple dip that puppy.

sp1deynut4853d ago (Edited 4853d ago )

Gears 1 on PC was a MS experiment...and it failed miserably. They have no intentions of making that mistake again...same goes for Halo.

EDIT: @ EVO...

Yeah...that's what it was. They added a couple DX10 effects, and a new level...and it took them an entire YEAR for THAT? NO. MS knew something extra would be needed to entice PC gamers to try a "new" IP, that was actually a year old...so EPIC added some sparkle to it. It didn't sell NEAR what the 360 did, and overall, PC gamers expressed a collective "Meh" over it. So, no more Gears for PC.

EVO-OM3GA4853d ago (Edited 4853d ago )

Gears 1 on PC wasnt an experiment Gears 1 on PC was EPIC finishing the game. The 360 Version was not the complete game.

@sp1deynut

Dude honestly read up on it 2years back, Gears 1 on the 360 was not finished they had to release it early because of MS, the PC version is the finished version of the game

Ares84PS34853d ago

Or maybe release the trilogy on the PS3. That would be pretty cool.

Kon4853d ago

That would never happen. Not in a million years.

EVO-OM3GA4853d ago

Hey Kon didnt you see the sign

*DO NOT FEED THE TROLL*

Infernostew4853d ago

Epic's contract with MS is up after Gears 3 so unless they made another deal for the Gears series, you never know...

Ares84PS34853d ago (Edited 4853d ago )

@EVO-OM3GA

I'm not trolling.

Just because I like Gears of War and I happend to only own a PS3 and would like to see it on that platform doesn't mean I'm trolling.

I did not say anything negative about the game nor did I say anything negative about the 360.

Also, as far as I know Gears of War franchise is owned by EPIC not MS. Or am I wrong?
Kids these days.....

EVO-OM3GA4853d ago

Ok you only own a PS3, well I use to only own a 360 and i said to myself you know what I wanna get Versus and KH3 and Zone of Enders 3 when the release so rather than wait I went out and got a PS3 and I currently own over 10 exclusives yes I might rarely play my PS3 but never once have I said Oh I wish Uncharted was on the XBOX or KillZone.

If you wanna play the game Buy the console!

Ares84PS34853d ago (Edited 4853d ago )

I'm sorry, I will not buy a 360. I rather buy games if I have $200 in my pocket. I can wait it's not a problem.

I'm a patient man. If it comes great, if it doesn't than oh well.

I played the first on on my PC anyways.

Oh and by the way, nothing what you said justifies you calling me a troll.

multipayer4853d ago

I hope a part of epic still wants their games to be top of the line, because that's just not going to happen vs the lineup of pc games that look next gen this year.

Also, I've played alot of Gears of War on PC and honestly I think there is more human players on it than Unreal Tournament 3.....

AJ Hartley4853d ago

the game maybe owned by epic just like bungie owned halo but microsoft have the rights of the game as the contract will state so if epic made a game for ps3 it would not be gears just like the talk of bungie doing a game for ps3 its not halo related as MS own the rights.

Infernostew4853d ago

That didn't stop ninja gaiden 1 & 2 from being on ps3. Also MS don't own the Gears IP. I mean it's highly unlikely that we'll ever see a Gears game on ps3 but crazier things have happened.

EVO-OM3GA4853d ago (Edited 4853d ago )

I have Gears 1 I sold my Gears 2, But I will pick up this double pack i hope they have all the DLC

Raven_Nomad4853d ago

Nice deal, I know quite a few people will be interested in this. They have done a lot to fix Gears 2 online recently, I might pick it up just to have in my collection.

On a side note, The Gears games while owned by Epic have a agreement with Microsoft, much like the one with Bioware and Mass Effect 1, which can never be released on another console. So the Gears franchise much like Halo is Microsoft based. Also, Epic and Cliffy B are huge Microsoft fans. Doubt they'd ever want to burn that bridge.

If you are wanting to play Gears bad enough, pretty much everyone can afford a 360, I mean refurbished ones are around $99 and then this set is $30. Cant beat it.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756108d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00108d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic108d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack108d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing108d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic108d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos108d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin108d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris108d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine108d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz108d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin113d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack112d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69113d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07113d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn112d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid112d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog112d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992112d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
