Gears of War 4 [PC, X1]

[Jorge-Vieira]

Gears of War 4 might be coming to PC too

Back at E3, Microsoft announced that it would be bringing Gears of War back to the PC with Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. Since then, not much else has been said about it, though the studio behind it says they are still working on it and getting it running with DirectX 12. However, it looks like we will be getting another entry to the Gears series at some point as well on the PC.
Gears of War 4 is currently scheduled for 2016, as long as it doesn’t get hit with any delays. We already saw a trailer for the game this year and it is currently only announced for Xbox One, but according to a GAME listing, the title will also land on PC.






It isn’t uncommon for retailers to have early access to information surrounding upcoming releases, though these retail leaks aren’t always accurate. After all, Microsoft itself listed Sunset Overdrive as coming to the PC at one point and yet, a PC version is nowhere to be found.

That said, Microsoft does appear to be making more of an effort on the PC. We still don’t have the main Halo games, but bringing Gears of War back to the PC is a pretty good start.

Ainda não está confirmado, mas era mais um grande jogo a chegar ao PC.

Thoughts...
-Graficamente está muito fraquinho (versao consola...)
-Parece que vai levar com o "windworks" e physics da Nvidia
-Transicoes de som optimas
-efeitos cinematograficos optimos
-accao caracteristica do Gears of War
-dialogos aparentam ser forçados, muito estilo comercial
-em nada parece superior ao Gears 1 e 2.

Gears of War 4 gets its release date moved

It looks like development on Gears of War 4 is going well as the game will now be releasing slightly earlier than expected. During a live stream this week, Microsoft revealed that the Xbox One exclusive would now be launching in ‘Fall 2016’, rather than the holiday season.
This means that Gears of War 4 could end up launching at a similar time to Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, which launched at the end of August in 2015. Microsoft seems to have high hopes for its exclusive as well, claiming that 45 percent of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition were new to the series.

We will actually get our first look at Gears of War 4 in the Spring when the multiplayer beta launches, which those who own Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will have first dibs on.
At first, Gears of War 4 was thought to be a Xbox One exclusive and while that does seem true for the time being, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is heading to the PC so it is possible that Microsoft is planning on bringing future games over as well.

Cliff Bleszinski Optimistic About Gears of War 4

Gears of War was one of Microsoft’s biggest titles when the Xbox 360 was released. Featuring Co-op, multiplayer and modern graphics the game quickly became a flagship for the Xbox consoles, featuring not just one but two sequels carrying on a story that left people angry and in tears all at the same time. It’s no surprise then that Cliff Bleszinski, the creator of the franchise, has come out feeling rather happy with Gears of War 4.
The status posted on twitter, found below, makes it sound like he’s being kept in the loop regarding the series. Originally owned and created by Epic Games (the creator of the Unreal Tournament series and the Unreal Engine which Gears of War used), the franchise was purchased by Microsoft in 2014, with several games announced soon after.



Cliff Bleszinski ✔ @therealcliffyb
Just got off the phone with a friend who is doing some writing on the next Gears game. Sounds like we will all be very pleased with it.
7:35 PM - 23 Jan 2016






With such a popular series Microsoft has unleashed Gears of War Ultimate, a modern update and remake of the original featuring not just the storyline but features and weapons from the more recent games. There has been no word though on the PC version which has still yet to be released, displeasing some who were looking forward to the game, one which has been confirmed as not being a port from the console version.
With great series of games, it’s always nice to know when the original creators are interested and exciting about remakes and new approaches to the series. Will be interesting to see how Gears of War 4 measures up to expectations when it releases.

Gears of War 4 “A Graphical Showcase” for Xbox One According to Studio Head

The upcoming Gears of War 4 will be a “a graphical showcase” for the Xbox One, just like the original Gears of War was for the Xbox 360.

In the last issue of Official Xbox Magazine US, The Coalition’s studio head, Rod Fergusson, talked about the upcoming Gears title from the studio. According to Fergusson, the team learned a lot from the 60FPS multiplayer experience in Gears of War Ultimate, and they want to carry this experience over for Gears 4 as well.

Delivering [with Ultimate Edition] the first 60fps multiplayer experience in franchise history really taught us a lot about what it means to have a 60fps culture on the team and we’re leveraging that experience for Gears of War 4.

When the original Gears of War was released for the Xbox 360 back in 2006, the game was praised for its high quality visuals. Among other, the game received an award for best ” Xbox 360 Graphics Technology’ from IGN.
Fergusson wants Gears 4 to be a visual showcase for the Xbox One, just as much as the original Gears was on the Xbox 360.

Like how the original Gears of War was a visual showcase for the Xbox 360, Gears of War 4 will be a graphical showcase for the Xbox One.

During the Xbox E3 media briefing in 2015, Fergusson showcased Gears of War 4 live on stage, and announced that the shooter will be coming exclusively to the Xbox One in 2016. One of the game’s main characters will be JD and his companion Kait.





Earlier this year, Microsoft’s Phil Spencer took to Twitter to tease that Fergusson is holding back some surprises regarding Gears 4 – even for Microsoft’s employees. Spencer stated that he played both the game’s campaign mode, and its multiplayer mode.

Gears Of War 4 Made “Stunning Progress”; Game Shown Off To Xbox’s Phil Spencer

Gears of War 4 has been shown off to Microsoft’s head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, and according Spencer, the game made “stunning progress”.

Earlier this week we reported how the upcoming Gears 4 would be a graphical showcase for the Xbox One, just like the original Gears of War was for the Xbox 360.
Overnight, Microsoft’s Phil Spencer took to Twitter to share that The Coalition made some “stunning progress” with Gears of Wars 4. According the Xbox head, it remembered him of seeing ‘Warfare’ for the first time, and he had the same feeling with Gears 4. Spencer probably refers to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare which launched back in November 2014.



Rod Fergusson ‎@GearsViking
Love showing new Gears 4 stuff to @XboxP3 !

Phil Spencer ✔ ‎@XboxP3

@GearsViking Stunning progress by @CoalitionGears. I remember seeing "Warfare" for the first time, same feeling today with Gears 4.
6:04 AM - 24 Feb 2016








Gears of War 4 is expected to release in Fall 2016 for the Xbox One. An E3 teaser from the game can be checked out below:





The game was officially announced during Microsoft’s E3 2015 media briefing. During the briefing, Rod Fergusson showed off the game on stage live. The rights to the Gears franchise were obtained by Microsoft back in 2014.

Today we’re excited to announce that Microsoft Studios has acquired the rights to the “Gears of War” franchise from Epic Games, including rights to all existing and future games, entertainment experiences and merchandise. In addition, we are excited to announce that Black Tusk Studios in Vancouver, BC will take over development of the “Gears of War” franchise and that Rod Fergusson, former Director of Production at Epic Games on the “Gears of War” franchise, will join Microsoft and play a key studio leadership role at Black Tusk on the development of the franchise going forward. We had a chance to chat with Phil Spencer, Head of Microsoft Studios, Hanno Lemke, General Manager of Black Tusk Studios at Microsoft Studios, and Rod Fergusson about the big news.

Black Tusk Studios was renamed to ‘The Coalition’ back in June 2015.

Want into the Gears of War 4 Beta? Here's how you do it

Gears of War 4 is coming closer to release, and with that comes a beta test on the Xbox One in the Spring of 2016. If you'd like to secure your place in that beta test then all you have to do is play Gears of War Ultimate Edition while signed-in your Xbox Live account by March 1st. So you only really have a few hours left to make sure you can play it.

Unfortunately we don't have many details about what'll actually be playable in the beta, but we'd imagine the first one will be a multiplayer-centric experience to test the networking backend among other things. A few games that have released recently have had issues when faced with large amounts of players all online at the same time. But of course they'll want to show-off how fantastic the graphics are at this point, since it's set to be a graphical showcase of the Xbox One's capabilities.

If you're interested, it's easy, that is if you happen to own the Ultimate Edition, if not, then you can wait patiently and enjoy watching others navigate the intricicies of the beta test this spring.

Gears of War 4 story takes place over a 24-hour period

The Coalition is making some great progress on Gears of War 4, bringing back the cover-based shooter to its overarching roots. Some new information regarding how the game will be played has surfaced. Notably a new cooperative play mechanism and just how the story will unfold.

Cooperative play has been a hallmark of the series over the year, where you and three other friends can play through the game together, suffering through some of the worst of times, and the best of times. That co-op has been reduced to only support two total players. Player one is always JD Fenix, and the second person can play as either Kait or Del

Gears is now taking a page out of the book of some very successful series', where the action unfolds in real-time. That is, the entire story unfolds over a 24-hour period, which starts 25 years after the events of Gears of War 3. Does that mean that there's only 24 potential hours of gameplay? Possibly, but then again, the replay value is most notably going to be in the multiplayer.

If you remember what happened at the end of Gears 3, that massive destructive event will set the stage for the story, where the COG forces have rounded up the few hundred thousand people that are left on Sera, rounding them up in walled encampments for their own "safety." It's an interesting setup that has a lot of potential.

Gears Of War 4 Featuring Marcus Fenix’s Son

Warning: this article will contain information regarding Gears of War 4. If you want to experience the game without any spoilered content, this may be an article you want to miss.
Now that we’ve done that, let’s get talking about what we really want to know. Details. Gears of War 4 looks to the be the latest in the series of Gears games, the first of which since Microsoft purchased the series from Epic Games, its creators. The first bit of information we’ve received about the game is finally here, and that includes screen shots of the new cast and some details about them.
First up you have JD Fenix, featured in the middle above. The name should ring a bell as JD is actually the son of Marcus Fenix, the main character from the original Gears Of War games. Next up you have Delmond (Del) Walker, JD’s long time friend and fellow soldier, found on the left. Before the game took place, JD and Del go AWOL from COG (the military in the Gears of War series) only to find Kait Diaz (found on the right), an outsider who seems to have taken kindly to the former COG soldiers.
Set 25 years after Gears of War 3, the game looks to have a closer feel to the original Gears Of War game, rather than its sequels. With Liam McIntyre, known for playing the Weather Wizard on CW’s The Flash, voicing JD Fenix, the main character will be filled with the rich feeling a good actor brings to the game. Kait Diaz is being voiced by Laura Bailey, known for voicing Olympia Vale in Halo 5: Guardians and Jaina Proudmoore in Blizzard’s World of Warcraft. With Del being voiced by Eugene Byrd, known for his recurring roles on Bones and CW’s the Arrow.





With such a talented line up behind the game, we might even be able to look past the bad release of the previous Gears of War game in the Ultimate Edition on PC.

Gears of War 4 Possibly Coming to PC; XB1 Version to run at 1080P@30 in SP & 60FPS in MP

Just last week we reported a hint by Xbox’s Marketing Head Aaron Greenberg about Gears of War 4 coming to PC. Today, The Coalition’s Studio Head Rod Fergusson (who worked on the Gears of War franchise as Director of Production while at Epic Games) replied, in one out of 105 questions & answers with Game Informer, that the game is indeed “possibly” coming to the platform.
This definitely fits Microsoft’s new policy, so we won’t be surprised at all to hear a confirmation at E3 or Gamescom 2016. Of course, if the game indeed comes to PC we really hope for a better port than the one we just experienced with Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, though admittedly this new entry will be based on Unreal Engine 4 rather than the outdated Unreal Engine 3.
Fergusson also confirmed the resolution & frame rate targets for the Xbox One version: Gears of War 4 will run at 1080P@30FPS in the single player mode and 60FPS (presumably with a lower resolution) in multiplayer, following the trend of other games like Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4.
Other tidbits were that he’d use the word tense to describe Gears of War 4 and that there will be some jump scares; moreover, there will be three playable characters and two player co-op offline & online has been confirmed too.
Stay tuned for more information about one of the most anticipated third person shooter (TPS) games due in 2016.

Boa noite,

Creio que agora começa a aparecer o "power of the cloud" que a Microsoft tanto falava. A parte MP dos jogos consegue ter rácios de FPS superiores ao que o jogo tem na parte SP. Por alguma razão será, mas eu creio que os servidores estarão a dar uma ajudinha. Mas é só um pressentimento meu.

Outra coisa, se eu fosse a Microsoft enterrava já meia dúzia de milhões na compra do Unreal Engine. Além de passar a utilizar o motor em todos os jogos da própria Microsoft a custo zero depois licenciava o mesmo a outras empresas que o quisessem utilizar, melhoravam os seus produtos e faturavam ao mesmo tempo.

Cumprimentos.

[Enzo]

Os servidores da Microsoft sempre foram bons, na minha opiniao.

Gears of War 4 Multiplayer Beta Dated, To Begin Next Month

We still don’t know when Gears of War 4, the latest entry of the third person shooter series, will release in all regions, but fans of the series will soon be able to try out the game’s multiplayer features thanks to the closed and open betas which will be held next month.

Earlier today, Microsoft has confirmed that the Gears of War 4 multiplayer beta will begin on Xbox One on April 18th. Players wanting to participate only have to play Gears of War Ultimate Edition on Xbox One by April 11th, and not by March 1st as originally revealed, with the first tokens for the multiplayer beta getting sent from April 18th. The beta will be in an “early access” state until April 24th, when it will be opened for all “eligible” Xbox Live Gold members. The testing period will end on May 1st.

There isn’t much else that’s known about the Gears of War 4 multiplayer beta as of now. As Microsoft has only mentioned “eligible” Xbox Live members without elaborating further, the company will surely share more on the matter in the near future.
Gears of War 4 has only been confirmed for Xbox One, but it’s been hinted that it might Windows 10 in the future. Last week, The Coalition’s Studio Head Rod Fergusson, revealed that the game is “possibly” coming to the platform. Mr. Fergusson has also confirmed that Gears of War 4 will run at 1080P, 30FPS in single player mode and 60 FPS in multiplayer mode.
Gears of War 4 will launch on Xbox One on a yet to be confirmed 2016 release date. We will keep you updated on the game’s multiplayer beta as soon as more is shared on the matter, so stay tuned for all the latest news on the next big Xbox One third person shooter.

Gears of War 4 Beta is a ‘Real Beta’, BC Codes Problem Explained

It’s becoming increasingly common for a multiplayer beta to effectively just be a demo for an upcoming game. The developers won’t change anything based on complaints, and it’ll probably be weeks or even months before even the slightest things are changed. That won’t be the case with the Gears of War 4 beta, details of which were released today.
The beta, which is set to begin next month, is already being released quite a few months ahead of release – always a good sign.
But just for anybody still concerned, Coalition Director of Community Adam Fletcher took to Neogaf to confirm the developers would definitely be looking at the results of the beta.

Because we actually are using the term ‘beta’ as a real ‘beta’ This isn’t a demo.
We are looking for feedback so we can make changes before launch. We are also testing our back end
Advertisements

He also shared a little titbit about some of the problems concerning the Gears of War backwards compatibility codes – which came with the Ultimate Edition released last year.
While Adam’s business is making Coalition look good, it’d still be an interesting explanation for those that struggled to get a hold of their digital downloads.

We found most if not all users that had to request keys due to having incorrect account credentials. (ie: set Birthdates to 1800’s, etc)
It’s a common mistake due to XBL accounts being made so many years ago from many users and people skipping through standard registration processes.
