Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games, Inc. today announced the "Gears of War" 2007 Global Xbox LIVE® Tournament, presented by the World Cyber Games, offering gamers the opportunity to curb-stomp and chain saw their way to the Grand Final in Prague, Czech Republic. The tournament promises nonstop thrills over Xbox LIVE. "Gears of War" players across the globe will have the opportunity to compete in ranked matches on Xbox LIVE for four weeks of leaderboard play. The top 11 finalists in the world with the highest individual scores will receive the grand prize, a trip for two to Prague - the setting that influenced the game's "Destroyed Beauty" scenic imagery - to compete in the Grand Final in July. The grand prize includes a four-day, three-night trip to Prague with round-trip coach air transportation for the winner and a guest, standard hotel accommodations, basic ground transportation in Prague, and a $200 Visa gift card.
As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.
(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)
All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
Marcus Fenix and the crew could be back on your screens once more, as the rumored Gears of War Collection is near completion on Xbox.
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.

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?
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.
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!
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.
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
tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear
The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.
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.
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."
^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series
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.
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*.
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.
A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.
It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!
Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.
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.
Going all out for your biggest game i see.. NOT..
Sony gave away free TV's for the heck of it, Microsoft gives 1 person a pretty lame vacation...
As a gamer id take the TV in a heart beat.
What kinda of a lame assed attempt at flaming is that? It's a tournament, for gamers, to have fun and show off fraggign skills. Stop with the fanboy crap already! I haven't got a 360, but I must admit this game is a console seller. If it wasn't so short, I probably would get a 360 for it. That and Forza of course.

if u read it says "The top 11 finalists in the world with the highest individual scores will receive the grand prize"
Next time make it less obvious that u dont read things, just post fanboyish material. It may make your posts seem somewhat justified. I sincerely doubt it however.
Have you ever player anyone in gears outside of the country and felt the bullet lag?
I would never Play in a tournament if im not host if no one has a decent connection im sorry. Gears Online Coding sucks.
They still havent fixed a number of problems: Over powered pistol, Melee attacks stunning you for a second, Sniper active Reloads are one shot downs (WTF), Host Shotgun, People running of the maps, Wepon sliding, Run Glitching
As you can see this game is still Broken, just like Cliffy said its not a tournament, because Epic is lazy
