Gears of War

[SirBaron]

Anyone else getting this? Sure i finished it on the 360 ages ago, but i want the new content and the high res graphics .

My copy should arrive tommorow.

Wow, I had no idea this was actually coming to the PC. How the hell did I miss that.. :confused:

[SirBaron]

Yep, it's just come out

One of the best games of 2006 imo, can't wait to see the extra stuff

Yeah The Inquirer of course seems to think it's total crap.

But than again The inquirer is total crap.

Got it for the xbox 360, didn't like it to much. I'm not a big fan of 3rd person shooters. /pass

I'll buy it when I can, which will hopefully be around the end of this month. I'm not really interested in SP, though. I just want it for co-op and MP.

same reason i am going to eventually get it.... supports up to 3 people for coop right? Maybe we should organize a coop session

I think it's 2 people for co-op, but I might be wrong about that.

[Cassius]

Wow, actual coop on a PC game.... YEY!!! That's almost reason enough to buy it, even if its just decent.

[SirBaron]

It's not decent it's awesome, great gameplay, great story. Can't wait for the 2nd personally.

[sittal]

been cooping all day. great game.

[Cjl64]

when i get this... would anyone like to coop it with me?

[SirBaron]

Finally found a program to force my TV to run at 60hz at 1920x1080, games kept setting it to 30hz interlaced . Now that it's working at 60hz the image quality jumped up 10 fold. This game looks incredible on my 47" LCD , major leap in graphics from the 360 version just from the bump in resolution, then you have the increased texture resolution too which just makes it worth it alone .

Some quick pics i took yesterday, but didn't have time to upload.

DX9 1920x1080 max settings, runs smooth as butter.

[SirBaron]

are they vista only tho?

[SirBaron]

are they vista only tho?

Not as far as i know...

However i'd advise getting the 360 version, the PC version requires a damn fast CPU otherwise you're gunna get stuttering.

[Deaderinred]

hope epic release the extra content for 360 soon then i dont think my pc cpu can cut it

I liked the new chapter. You can skip right to it from the beginning of the game just in case you already beat it on the 360(which is what I did. I dont know of that warrants a purchase of the game if you already had it for the 360 though. It looks so much better on the PC, if you dont have it for the 360 this is a mist buy for the PC if your comp can handle the game.

[RAY16]

No.

Eh? I don't notice any stuttering on my system. Maybe a little bit when the game is loading the next level in the background during a cutscene but it doesn't last long and rarely (if ever) happens during gameplay.

[Cjl64]

must be the quad core because i also get no stuttering when i play.. not to mention the FPS are insane high. i have a "temp" copy of the game until i get around to buying it. Anyways..... anyone ever find a tutorial in getting hamachi to work with this title. Im getting the game...but i don't think my friends will get it.

[Deaderinred]

No.

awesome! i might get it now, even if it wont run.

[seadude99]

Can't get mine to work. I've tried every single thing that the Epic forums suggest to no avail. Waiting on a patch.
