First video of Gears of War for PC, here and gone in 10 minutes

Footage of Epic's Gears of War for PC had hit the web in an instant and vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

Submitter's note: the news about the video was almost approved when GameVideos.com has removed it.

Wonder how good or bad this will look to games like Crysis and Hellgate?

Hopefully its still up to par, definately going to be different on PC in a lot of ways I expect.

About time they got it on PC.

ShiftyLookingCow6140d ago (Edited 6140d ago )

what is your system specs?

[edit] I bet you dont have a system that can play this game decently, if so you are just a Sony fanbot(being a fan is different), else enjoy it on your Vista

@DrPirate, are you kidding me? Epic is also one of the best in performance optimization, I was able to play UT2004 on a P4 3GHz, FX5200, Max@1024x768, the day it came out March 2004(where the announcer guy said "Holy Sh!t"). I am sure this will run well if you have a 8800GTX and E6600 upward oced. If you just spent 3000, I hope you got a 8800GTX or HD2900.

One of the advantages of PC version, its going to run silky smooth on a high end system

DrPirate6140d ago (Edited 6140d ago )

Hmm, I'll agree with Darthboy on this one.

I'm sure the PC version is the ultimate version of Gears of War however. I just spent 3 grand on a new gaming PC and I still don't think I'd be able to run it on medium settings :\.

Epic's PC games usually carry technology that make it's highest settings unplayable for a couple of quarters until a powerful PC is released that can play it. I could've only ran ULTRA on UT2k4 2 years after that game came out :(

Excellent, my PC was not up to spec for UT2k4, that's the reason. I hoep to enjoy the new content in this game either way.

@Json: Dude, I so would. I had all the parts ready at tigerdirect.ca. Unfortunately, I don't possess the technical abilty and knowledge to build my own PC. So I settled for a pre-built voodoo performance PC. Top of the line, I got it in hopes of being able to play Crysis actually :p.

JsonHenry6140d ago (Edited 6140d ago )

I have a PC that should be able to pull it off. AM2 Dual Core, 8800GTS, 2 gigs DDR2 800mhz and a 160gig HDD. But I already played it on the 360, so I won't be buying it for PC. If I had known it would come out for the PC I would have just waited since the games all look/play better on a PC anyway.

Edit- Dude! Build your own PC! I spent 1200.00USD on a gaming rig that would have cost me $4K+ if I bought it from a retailer.

risk6140d ago (Edited 6140d ago )

no way people move the mouse exactly side ways...and up and down...it looks fake to me. if i am using a mouse i move it anyway other then just straight up/down/side

@ DR.Pirate its easy...just dont have any electro static electricity and just read the manual alot! its easy. and i noticed u said TigerDirect.ca where do you live? if near toronto might be able to help u out.

Cook1eMan6140d ago

Mostly any computer built right these days can run the newer stuff easily. My system specs: 4200+ Dual core AM2 OC'ed to 2.9Ghz, 1Gb of Ram(OC'ed Too),8600GT XXX Edition Clocked to the MAX, 250Gb HDD, Fatal1ty AN9 32X, and all the other crap and everything works around 100+ frames for older games and around 60+ frames for the newer games on MAX settings. It's all air cooled too. Liquid cooling still leaves room for more overclocking.

Gamer luv6140d ago

Wooooo

You know i wouldnt be suprised if the PC version of Gears turns out to be just as good or better then some of the "Top of the line" PC games.

Also, does anyone think that PC users will be able to play cross platform with us Xbox live folk?

That would be pretty sick, Shadowrun is soo fun because of it.

We have my friends on PC and friends on Console playing against each other.

JasonXE6140d ago (Edited 6140d ago )

look like leak footage, and was pretty damn cool. That big beresker with missiles (i thought it was for gears of war 2) look like an awesome fight with new cut scences. It look like a episodic content that would be release for the xbox 360. I don't know if that was for the PC though considering they would just port gears of war to the pc instead of make a new version or part of a episodic content.

I could be wrong though because there is a achievement unlock sign on the video which i m unfamiliar with. Does anyone who have shadowrun confirm this?

Rybnik6140d ago

I really hope you are right that it is soon-to-be-announced episodic content. I just realized NOBODY mentioned the possiblity that we would see single-player episodic content b4 Gears 2..This could be a leaked E3 secret..and it would be awesome!!!

ShiftyLookingCow6140d ago (Edited 6140d ago )

the achivement unlocked is from Games for Windows, so it is confirmed PC

[edit] Since Gears is owned by Microsoft, I am sure Microsoft will release any extra content as DLC to be purchased, after all its another oppurtunity to get some money, I hope its reasonably priced and I hope they make PC gamers pay 60 bucks otherwise it would be unfair

Rybnik6140d ago

Ah, I missed that part (too excited by the idea of more Gears content imminent). Well...so that means the PC will have extra content the 360 version doesn't have then?? If so that pisses me off a bit.

Cook1eMan6140d ago (Edited 6140d ago )

I play Shadowrun on PC since I sold my 360. The achievements pop-up on top, but I think Halo 2 Vista's Achievements pop up down on the bottom of the screen. To me it looks new and could be 1 of 3 things:

#1:Gears of War PC
#2:New content for Xbox360
#3:Gears of War 2 (Not likely)

Anyway I bet we will out find out Tuesday July 10, 8:30pm (Microsofts Press Conferance) Pacific Standard Time

SlyDark Star6140d ago

O_O I don't rememebr any of that! How do we know it's not a sequel?

TheXgamerLive6140d ago (Edited 6140d ago )

I think we'd here something on PC works before a video would submerge.

I'll wait til I hear otherwise, until then this is Xbox 360.

This could be pre footage to be shown at E3 for the 360.

DrPirate6140d ago

Look at the achievement unlock. It's a Games for Windows Live Achievement unlock emblem popup.

ChaosKnight6140d ago

I've heard scribbles bout this from a couple sources... didn't think it was true cuz my source was better known for his work at Sony o-O Anyways, COOL! Think... no Gears 2 announcement but DLC of extending the first game would be awesome... come on, don't leave us 4 million Gears owners hanging XP

(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756103d 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.

Blad3runner00103d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic103d 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.

TheEroica103d ago (Edited 103d 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!

RaidenBlack104d ago

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

phoenixwing104d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic103d 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.

Profchaos104d 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__Merrin104d 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_vulgaris104d ago

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

Concertoine103d 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.

Brazz104d 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."

Wyesvin108d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack108d ago

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

phoenixwing108d ago (Edited 108d 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.

CrimsonWing69108d 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*.

ocelot07108d 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_corn108d ago

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

Juiceid108d ago

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

raWfodog108d ago

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

franwex108d ago (Edited 108d 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.

neutralgamer1992108d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
