I've read a few of the "thought pieces" on the Internet about the recently announced Gears of War Remix, and surprisingly most of them have been less than enthusiastic, citing that bringing the PC content to the XBox 360 was previously stated as "Impossible for many reasons" by EPIC Games (See here and here)Actually, what EPIC said was that brining the new content as Downloadable Content (DLC) was impossible due to the size of the content and the fact that the PC release used an updated version of the Unreal 3 Engine. So, because this is a new game, you can have every confidence that it will indeed have all the extras that the PC release had and more.
Why? Because Microsoft and EPIC want as many gamers as possible to buy the new Gears Of War; even those who've previously purchased it. And why would you do so unless you had at least everything the PC release had and more? Most of you probably wouldn't.
Here are my predictions for the Gears of War Remix:
- New Achievements
- All previously released DLC will be included (Map Packs, Game Modes, etc)
- At least 6 Acts (including the missing chapter with the Brumak boss battle)
- Improved graphics (textures and lighting) because of advances in Unreal Engine 3 technology
- New Game Features & Modes
- Bonus Gear of War background story videos
- Bonus Gears of War 2 preview videos
If you haven't seen the Unreal Engine 3 Tech Demo yet (video below), have a look to see what to expect from the new Gears of War:
