Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Announced for Windows With DirectX 12 Support and 4K

*cdn3.dualshockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/gearsofwar-ds1-670x443-constrain.jpg

During the PC Gaming conference at E3, The Coalition Studio head Rod Fergusson announced that the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is coming to PC

This announcement came right after Xbox Head Phil Spencer announced the Windows version of Killer Instinct.

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on PC will support 4K resolution, unlimited frame rate, DirectX 12, and mouse/keyboard on top controllers.

Fergusson was also asked if there are other things that PC gaming fans can look forward to from the Gears of War franchise, and he mentioned that there’s nothing to announce yet, and that’s something that he’ll have to talk about at a later time.

Not the entire trilogy. Just the first game which was already out for PC.

Gears of War franchise is and will remain an XBox exclusive.

Most probably it will come with a steam release seeing how GFWL failed.

It was Epic games and not Microsoft that decided that Gears would be a console exclusive. Since they have sold the propriety to M$ now M$ can do whatever it wants. It can stay Xbox exclusive like Halo or come to PC like Fable.

IMO, I think it will stay with the Xbox (most likely scenario)

Who needs Gears of War, we already have too many games. Its just nice to snatch some of their games from Xbones and P$hit4.

Make a game for XO. Port it to Win with improper optimization. Add some ultimate edition tag & crazy system requirements. From the specs, it feels like the DX12 ported games are getting emulated. Else why need 4GB VRAM and 16GB ram? Can't be a coincidence that Quantum Break posts exactly similar specs.

Appreciate regional pricing. I was negative about getting windows store exclusive games , but this certainly adds one plus point. Still my first purchase there will be some really good XboxOne/Windows Store exclusive like say, Read Dead Redemption 2 or Gears of War 4 :p

No they are not. They are just trying to do dirty business, you want to bring a game to PC fine, bring it everywhere like Steam, Origin, Uplay etc if you want DRM and GOG if you can do without DRM. If you want to make something exclusive to you, fine do this the way its done.
First make a platform and let it mature and then go on exclusive business. Look at EA, they made Origin quite some time ago and still were selling on Steam and other places. Only after they made it to somehow work, they went on exclusive business.
I agree Origin is not perfect but it works and gives the user freedom to do things (Modding, ini modifications, sweetfx) and not restricts them.
