Microsoft outlines just what is going to differentiate the PC and 360 versions of Gears of War and just what gamers can expect from the new version.

Great news, I've always wanted to play Gears but no 360.

Blademrk · 17th Jul 2007, 15:44

There's also different achievements to the 360 version

DXR_13KE · 17th Jul 2007, 16:10

the news are good, now lets see what will happen.

devdevil85 · 17th Jul 2007, 16:21

Eh, doubt I'll play it....especially since I've played it on 360, but who knows. I'll have to see the graphics though (DX10 hopefully...) and that'll probably change my mind...

I have it on 360. I don't think it will be as good on the PC unless I can use my 360 controller, which kinda defeats the object

Still: I suspect I'll still get it

seems like vista is coming along nicely. fraps now supports it, crysis , etc.

may have to move to vista

!!!!!!! noooo

all those files that will need to be moved into place again

I never gave in and bought this for the 360 and now I'm glad.

Played GoW for the first time at a LAN over these past 4 days (yes, we're insane and have had no sleep either) on a 360 and well, wow, I can't wait for this to be released

.

I just hope the make a LAN Co-op story mode.

Aankhen · 17th Jul 2007, 22:10

Yay, GoW.

Console ports in general suck, but Epic "gets" PC gaming, so I'm not worried at all. I'm sure it'll be a fantastic port.

will it need Windows LIVE to play online i wonder? or with the fantastic launch titles of halo2 and shadowrun, is that now dead in the water?
