I didnt game for about 13 years. Started gaming when the witcher 3 came out and i got a ps4. Seriously thinking about getting a xbox 1 x to play gears of war series and the mass effect trilogy. Sounds like i missed some great games.
Ioannis Stefanakis Mass effect trilogy run just fine on an Xbox one, and even better on the Xbox one x, Why are you informing him about 360/and ps3. And the advising spending money on a cheap pc? Some bullshit advise if I've ever heard it.
Pooya Ansary How can you possibly know his disposable income is? He already owns a PS4, so he’s got the exclusives you mentioned on lock. But to get the best experience for those amazing multi-plats you listed; his best bet would be the Xbox One X. Not to mention the upcoming Gears of War, Halo, Forza games. If he’s looking to catch up on Gears, I’m assuming Halo as well, and no one should miss out on all that!
Anthony Tosh gears is class, great characters, great story, really good online too, it still has a world eSports championship, the problem with playstation is no online support in games, completed and shelved in 3 days is no good, it's time Sony showed that that can include online functionality in a game, it's 2018 after all, not 1996
They like money. It's a shame, mobile gaming practices in AAA gaming is absolutely awful. And battle royale is an addicting genre because of unpredictability and RNG, there's always that rush of dopamine around the corner for knowing you'd get first place. It keeps you coming back and then the microtransactions entice you further. Horrible method of profit, but effective.
minimimimaxiboy they didn’t make Fortnite because they “like money”...They made fortnite as a love project from some of the developers, producing the story mode for years, changing the overall game at one point and starting over. They released it, and it flopped, hardly sold, was laggy, and had a tiny player base. They saw how well PUBG was doing, and used their existing assets to make a Battle royale, made it free and took a risk...and wow did it pay off. So to answer their question...no, they don’t just “like money” gears of war was a love child, they poured heart and soul into it, and it wS the same with fortnite, it just so happens it took off
Man I own Gears 2, still need to play and finish it. PS: Kinda silly knocking a game for nothing having some visual effects, that the engine itself didn't feature yet. It was one of the best looking games and still looks nice today 9 + years later...
I remember those underground areas just looking so stunning in Gears 2, such an epic artdirection and character. Still holds up now especially the water rendering!
Garbage Gang I bet you cant say any 360 game that looks better than Sea of thieves or State of decay 2, at least on a technical level, have no realistic graphics does not mean = looks like last gen
I agree story wise. The New Hope Research Facility is my favorite mission. Gears 3 improved in level design, enemy variety, weapon variety and multiplayer though.
Gears of War 2 was a huge departure from Gears 1 in terms of control scheme and timing which directly (and negatively) impacted multiplayer. This game was incredibly panned for being “Cliffy B’s Original Vision” with regards to the cover system and slower motion. The furor over the jarring change from Gears 1 was inescapable back in 2008 and to this day arguably primed his departure, finally catalyzed by Judgement. The delay was similar to Rockstar’s euphoria motion in GTAIV, but incompatible with a game like Gears. Just bad design calls. Gears 3 further changed this decision but reverting it back to more closely play like Gears 1.
I wasn't impressed by this game in 4K, but boy Gears of War 3 in 4K is a different story, that game holds up extremely well. I hope you make a video about it.
Guys do I just buy a copy of Gears of War 3 for the Xbox 360 for my Xbox x I actually thought Gears of War ultimate edition was all 3 games I'm really confused I've only had my Xbox x a week
i dunno, i'm okay with my purchase because i'm not tight for money right now, but i don't think the upgrade from the base xbox one was worth it. the base one was good enough already.
GraveUypo wait..what? Im not trying 2 be a dick but going from 720p,900p sometimes 1080 to 4k with high res textures, faster loading times etc etc was a huge upgrade. Especially if you consider the tiny res bump the ps4pro only offers.
i don't care. it plays the same games with the same framerate caps. it has better image quality, but even the graphics are generally the same outside of iq. i'm used to much more significant upgrades on my pcs. if this at least made all games 60fps i'd say it was totally worth it. for now, i'd say it's only really worth going for the X if you don't have the base console. otherwise it might or might not be worth it, depending on how much you fetch for your old box. you think it is, fair enough. i think it was not a very good purchase in my case, because i didn't sell my old one, i gave it away to my nephew. i could have bought a base ps4 AND a switch for the same money and i probably should have. i'd have all consoles now. but instead i have one console that plays the same games as before but with better image quality. meh
absolutely agree, i have both a ps4 pro and xbox one x and playing forza 7 on xbox one s to the x was a huge difference in visuals yet gran turismo sport looks a tiny bit better going from the base ps4 to the pro and it still has texture pop in on the tracks and vehicles, thats pretty bad for a console that is more powerfull and the game is supposedly ps4 pro enhanced?
Just got my X today and am now installing Read Dead Redemption. Added the Gears of War games to the list as well. These games are looking excellent in 4K. First time I've ever bought a console mostly due to BC.
BC is absolutely amazing, and a crucial means of preserving the artform. Shame on Sony for taxing the players with overpriced PSN-only, limited versions of PS2 classics with only a resolution bump, shame on PS Now. Xbox did it extremely well: put the disc in, wait for the download. I have two OG Xbox's, one 360 and a boat load of games for them, including the Splinter Cell collection. Installing them on the One is quick, simple and easy. And FREE.
John and Alex, my favourite DF guys and both working together is like a ear orgy, I love you both, this is like a dream come true! I also mean the content they put together, I love it
And lol at the PS fanboys trying to say that the Xbox "only plays old games"... they don't seem to be able to grasp the concept that you can have BOTH old and new games on a system! They think because PS4 can't do it that it's not possible... might want to step out into the big bright world and see that backward compatibility CAN exist with all the new hot 3rd party titles. I certainly admit PS4 has several awesome exclusives, but there are sooo many incredible games on Xbox plus BC plus X performance that I really do think Xbox is very competitive these days.
Gears 2 upon release was about two things: Horde match and a fantastic campaign story...one of my favorite games. Regarding Judgement, I did not actually complete the game till the other year, but once one gets used to the interface difference, Judgement is a visually amazing game that does have a good story...sadly, it was eclipsed being released only months after Gears 3.
Nope, those were the days of exclusives for xbox, plenty games still not on other platforms. Getting the X is the best way to experience those older titles (again) since emulation is still a ways off for any xbox.
I haven't played ANY of them despite owning them all now or access through Gamepass ... My time is limited and I want to play 4 and 5 for sure because of their graphics and newness ... What is needed to play before those ? I can watch a story catch up but thinking might start with Gears 3 as it seems to look good still ?
@@thebesttheworst2277 gears 4 is a good jumping on point though, some of it won't make sense but its set 20 years after the first 3 and has mostly new characters
@@unstablerupture6983 Thanks for the advice ... I have 97 games unplayed and installed 🤦🏻♂️ so have little time ... I think I'll do from 3 onward and story recap the first 2 👍
I'm a PC gamer but I'd buy an Xbox One X just to be able to play Gears Of War 3 online horde mode again, playing that on the Xbox 360 was the most fun I've ever had in an online multiplayer game, I must have sunk thousands of hours of game play time into that one.
Although I'm a PS4 and PC player now. I will never forget the 1st time I played Gears of War. I actually bought the GoW-360 bundle, and it was so worth it.
Really don’t think people understand how big gears was/is a vast amount of art lore brand new ideas taken from classics, new game modes unseen until gears it’s really crazy how much this franchise has done for the video game world
i followed gears of war since 2006 till now Gears 5 at 2019, i can say the story are awesome and their graphic getting better with series. :D in my opinion, gears 3 has the best story and gameplay so far :D
I think you should do one on Rocksteady's Batman series to show how they've evolved and brought new features. Even adding Eidos Montreal Batman game too. Nice video as usual
I just picked up again for $5.00 each Gears of War 1 remastered for the Xbox One, Gears of War 2, and Gears of War 3. I also just installed them on my Xbox One X that is hooked up to my Samsung Series 7 Curved UHD 4K TV!
Can you do some sort of retrospective on the tech of killzone 2? Something about that game’s lighting, models, destruction and other things still look really impressive to this day.
Could you me tell any reason why certain Xbox One X Enhanced games are not showing up as X1XE True or appearing under my enhanced game list, yet others are? All games are on external storage.
These major tech shifts were essential to establishing the new consoles. I remember a lot of the launch stuff for Xbox360 was very underwhelming, because it largely felt like mere upscaled PS2 stuff. Left a lot of people on SDTVs severely underwhelmed.
Do you use HDR for this? If I choose HDR10 on my Sony the colors get way washed out so I set it to auto HDR but need to do some major tweaking to make this game look better on my Sony 900f playing this on my Xbox One X.
It's a little weird to me that Gears of War 2 doesn't get a bump to 60 on backwards compatibility. Gears 2 is one of those UE3 games where there are a couple places that if you point the camera in the right direction, the game will click over from 30 to 60, suggesting that the game would benefit from more horsepower right out of the box.
Great video! I am going to get an X soon. All these enhanced games make me feel it's worth the upgrade. As for Gears of War specifically, it's one of my favorite trilogies of last-gen for sure. I last went through the trio just before Gears 4 came out. Man, aside from a few aspects, I was pretty disappointed in four. I thought Judgment was great, but not as good as the main trio.
They never patched the latest barrier break glitch (from like 7 years ago or something) that broke online multiplayer, and made a cool exploring tool in the campaign.
I didnt realise how much better gears 2 and then 3 looked they got better and better with each game definitely looking through the next bargin bin at my local games store for gears 2 and 3.
Please, make a video showing us how to cap to 30fps properly by minimizing input lag, frame pacing issues and screen tearing introduced by various methods. Im asking you for this video for past 2 years...
Whats the difference between Gears 1 and Gears 1 ultimate edition on Windows? I have and play Gears 1 ultimate edition on my windows 10 machine. It's why I ask?
I bought xbox 1 x at Christmas, played through all the Gears(5 of them). 2 wasn't remastered/patched when I played it, bummer lol Most of the others were though. Good times.
2 things I notice in the comment section on this type of videos. - We have the people who are really happy with backwards compatibility (which is completely understandable). Saying what a great feature it is and that they are so happy MS implemented it. - And the people that say who wants to even play those older games? It's all about the new stuff. And the funniest thing of it all is that most of those comments are made by people whose opinion turns like the wind. Or should I say what the company they are "invested" in does. First of all to say backwards compatibility doesn't matter is just a stupid remark. It does and it's an awesome feature. However it's also quite hypocritical to say how awesome of a feature it is, while I'm almost 100% sure that the people now saying what a nice feature it is for the X, were amongst those people that said a couple of years ago it wasn't important. How many times haven't I seen a comment like: "Nobody cares about old games" or "PC gamers buy such expensive machines and only play games that are 10 years old". And those were comments from both the Sony and MS fanboys. Always dismissing backwards compatibility as something irrelevant but suddeny when it's a feature of the console it's super awesome...
I love this whole 'X Enhanced' trend. I don't think we should be forced to wish and hope...and PAY, for full remakes of games just to enjoy them with improved visuals. I'm playing through the series now on my X and Gears 2 looks better than any 10 year old game has a right to look. Can't wait to move onto Gears 3 as I know the improvement will be significant. But Gears of War 4 is going to be the REAL treat. The only games I have are Gears 1(Classic and Ultimate), Gears 2, Gears 3, Gears Judgment, Gears 4, Halo: Reach and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. So Gears 1 Classic, Judgment, and Halo Reach are 360 Games that are NOT X Enhanced. Master Chief Collection is a One game that is NOT X enhanced(yet) and all of the 4 games contained on it are 360 games(Even the Halo 2 remaster doesn't really feel like it takes full advantage of being a "One" level game)....Gears Ultimate is a One game but is not X enhanced. Meanwhile, Gears 2 and 3 are X Enhanced for 4K....but they are originally 360 games. Gears of War 4 is the only Xbox One game that is X enhanced for 4K....so that is going to be a pretty spectacular experience.
This is what gets me about this generation. They managed to fit FOUR Gears releases into the life span of the Xbox 360. And so far, in this generation, they've managed ONE game. Why is it so bad this time?
I actually liked Judgement, but yeah, I doubt it could be updated to 4K. It runs pretty well through backwards compatibility now after patches, but it could end up struggling once more if they try to enhance the resolution. Even as a fan of the game, I certainly wouldn't mind if they simply moved on from it at this point.
Anyone know when this update happened because it doesn’t say it’s enhanced on my Xbox one x but it looks amazing and way clearer than gears judgement and more close to gears 3 that’s enhanced so I’m thinking it did get the update
Compared to how ps2 games look compared to ps3 games, a lot of last gen titles look really good, compared to current mainstream games. I think Uncharted 2 and Gears of War 2-3 still look good rendered at 1080p or above. I remember TLOU in 4k looking fantastic. The only thing missing is the scope of current gen games, a lot of these last gen titles being very corridor-ish in their level designs, due to ram limitations I'm guessing. And I'm honestly still surprised to this day that the Xbox with it's superior graphics chip never quite caught on after the slew of 2007-2010 ps3 exclusives really looking good. Good times though, though we are certainly approaching a new jump forward in graphics quality with the next gen consoles. I am really excited to see a time when consoles are powerful enough to produce meaningful VR, a task I can not see possible with even Xbox X just yet. But I can see it coming next gen, or at latest 2 gens forward when we are dealing with 20+ tflop gpus in mainstream consoles. Good times are ahead for graphic heads.
When I first saw Gears back in 2006, it was the best graphics i'd ever seen
Thang Nguyen Are you serious?
He's right theres nothing that top that back in 2006, one of the main reason for it success was its graphics.
Satanicxela There are games who top it, even ones from 2004.
If you would use a Pc you would know that.
name 3.

Who else but Epic Games to get the best out of Unreal Engine 3 (an engine they developed) on Xbox 360 hardware.
Now we only need Xbox One X-enchanced Gears of War: Ultimate and Gears of War: Judgement!
Peer165 i would love to see an gears 2 remaster though
Same its my favorite game in the series
Gears Ultimate didn't get a 4k patch? The pc version had a patch for 4k textures.
We don't need judgment enhanced but that's just me
Peer165 “now let me tell you why your wrong”
Xbox needs some new games not more enhanced old ones
I remember those underground areas just looking so stunning in Gears 2, such an epic artdirection and character. Still holds up now especially the water rendering!
Gears of War 4 is stunning on Xbox X, and was just the first game sequel to Xbox one, cant wait to see how will Gears 5 look
if the rumors are true, you won't have to wait long to see that
Hopefully amazing
I want them to use the Xs full potential
They sure didn’t with sea of thieves and state of decay 2
Both look like 360 games
Garbage Gang I bet you cant say any 360 game that looks better than Sea of thieves or State of decay 2, at least on a technical level, have no realistic graphics does not mean = looks like last gen
Lost Montanelas cod mw2 looks better than sea of thieves
Sea of thieves looks amazing, no clue what you've been smoking
This game is the best of all GoWs.
Oliver Toronyi Gears 2 is phenomenal but Gears 3 takes the cake for me.

I just revisited Gears 2 on my X, it's awesome!
Alex really loves the word “bespoke”.
Gears is what got me back into gaming after being absent since Dreamcast and a few PS2 games. LOVE Xbox One X.
Alex, your VO here is great. Looking forward to more!
Being a playstation owner, I was always interested in gears of war series
Alan George It's a great series.
It’s boring AF. The game is basically the same cover based wave tedium for its entirety.
funny kid

lilDeviant Gears of War boring? Boy, you clearly haven't even touched the series.
Great video! I'd KILL for a Gears 2/3 Remaster like UE. They had such killer campaign locations I'd love to see them reimagined.

It's great to see John and Alex together in the same conversation.
The Locust City is the coolest level environment. It just looks so fucking cool as you're going through one area after another.
I love these tech vids of older badass games!!! Great Vid as always!!!
The best game series in the 7th generation by far.
gears is such a great series!
i followed gears of war since 2006 till now Gears 5 at 2019, i can say the story are awesome and their graphic getting better with series. :D
in my opinion, gears 3 has the best story and gameplay so far :D
What a fucking beast of a game, i'm a PS fan but i got into Xbox thanks to this serie.
I think you should do one on Rocksteady's Batman series to show how they've evolved and brought new features. Even adding Eidos Montreal Batman game too. Nice video as usual
gears of war 2 my favorite game all time .. i still play it ..specially on line ...fucking love it
Its amazing how much they managed to squeeze out of the 360 hardware in Gears 3
Judgement looked ever better.
6:25 where'd you get that crispy footage of the UE3 tech demo?
"Oh yeah judgement, graphically great looking but uh yeah, judgement." HAAHAHAHA
Give us Gears of War Ultimate with a performance 60fps mode.
I just picked up again for $5.00 each Gears of War 1 remastered for the Xbox One, Gears of War 2, and Gears of War 3. I also just installed them on my Xbox One X that is hooked up to my Samsung Series 7 Curved UHD 4K TV!
Have it. Cannot wait to play on X
Can you do some sort of retrospective on the tech of killzone 2? Something about that game’s lighting, models, destruction and other things still look really impressive to this day.
The best one in the series !
Could you me tell any reason why certain Xbox One X Enhanced games are not showing up as X1XE True or appearing under my enhanced game list, yet others are? All games are on external storage.
These major tech shifts were essential to establishing the new consoles. I remember a lot of the launch stuff for Xbox360 was very underwhelming, because it largely felt like mere upscaled PS2 stuff. Left a lot of people on SDTVs severely underwhelmed.
Do you use HDR for this? If I choose HDR10 on my Sony the colors get way washed out so I set it to auto HDR but need to do some major tweaking to make this game look better on my Sony 900f playing this on my Xbox One X.
It's a little weird to me that Gears of War 2 doesn't get a bump to 60 on backwards compatibility. Gears 2 is one of those UE3 games where there are a couple places that if you point the camera in the right direction, the game will click over from 30 to 60, suggesting that the game would benefit from more horsepower right out of the box.
Call me crazy but this to me was the best looking gears (from original trilogy)
As a Gear head since '07, I appreciate your attitude towards GoW: Judgment... I like to pretend that one doesn't exist.
Great video! I am going to get an X soon. All these enhanced games make me feel it's worth the upgrade. As for Gears of War specifically, it's one of my favorite trilogies of last-gen for sure. I last went through the trio just before Gears 4 came out. Man, aside from a few aspects, I was pretty disappointed in four. I thought Judgment was great, but not as good as the main trio.
For some reason I got hungry from seeing the MEATCUBE.
Mmmm...meat cube
We gonna get the full gears 4 analysis for the X at all?
Why does everyone hate GOW JUDGEMENT I loved it
They never patched the latest barrier break glitch (from like 7 years ago or something) that broke online multiplayer, and made a cool exploring tool in the campaign.
The amount of games that used the unreal engine is huge, probably the most popular engine of last gen.
I didnt realise how much better gears 2 and then 3 looked they got better and better with each game definitely looking through the next bargin bin at my local games store for gears 2 and 3.
Please, make a video showing us how to cap to 30fps properly by minimizing input lag, frame pacing issues and screen tearing introduced by various methods.
Im asking you for this video for past 2 years...
Whats the difference between Gears 1 and Gears 1 ultimate edition on Windows? I have and play Gears 1 ultimate edition on my windows 10 machine. It's why I ask?
I tried playing through this with a friend on the base Xbox One but it just kept crashing at a certain point which was frustrating.
I still play Fallout 3 , RE Racoon city and unlock achievements in GFWL (i can see them on my xbox) so why do people think GFWL doesn't work anymore?
I bought xbox 1 x at Christmas, played through all the Gears(5 of them). 2 wasn't remastered/patched when I played it, bummer lol Most of the others were though. Good times.
Please make a video about a few games that employed normal map for the very first time.
I played this game on a CRT monitor, no LCD will reflect the saturated colors, contrast and smoothness provided by interlacing
Man, do I wish Gears 2 and 3 were Remastered just like 1. They would look stupidly good on PC.
Just beautiful!
I would love to see GOW2, 3 and Judgement come to the PC.
Great console for old games.
When i played gears of war when the xbox 360 came out damn it was the best game i ever sow.
2 things I notice in the comment section on this type of videos.
- We have the people who are really happy with backwards compatibility (which is completely understandable). Saying what a great feature it is and that they are so happy MS implemented it.
- And the people that say who wants to even play those older games? It's all about the new stuff.
And the funniest thing of it all is that most of those comments are made by people whose opinion turns like the wind. Or should I say what the company they are "invested" in does.
First of all to say backwards compatibility doesn't matter is just a stupid remark. It does and it's an awesome feature. However it's also quite hypocritical to say how awesome of a feature it is, while I'm almost 100% sure that the people now saying what a nice feature it is for the X, were amongst those people that said a couple of years ago it wasn't important. How many times haven't I seen a comment like: "Nobody cares about old games" or "PC gamers buy such expensive machines and only play games that are 10 years old". And those were comments from both the Sony and MS fanboys. Always dismissing backwards compatibility as something irrelevant but suddeny when it's a feature of the console it's super awesome...
Just release the trilogy in one package like Uncharted did. I want to revisit all Gears games in 60 fps glory.
The graphics of this blew me away at the time...
1:24 imagine, the camera is on the dude talking and then it switches over but it’s the same dude but dressed differently talking a little lower lmao
I love this whole 'X Enhanced' trend. I don't think we should be forced to wish and hope...and PAY, for full remakes of games just to enjoy them with improved visuals. I'm playing through the series now on my X and Gears 2 looks better than any 10 year old game has a right to look. Can't wait to move onto Gears 3 as I know the improvement will be significant.
But Gears of War 4 is going to be the REAL treat. The only games I have are Gears 1(Classic and Ultimate), Gears 2, Gears 3, Gears Judgment, Gears 4, Halo: Reach and Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
So Gears 1 Classic, Judgment, and Halo Reach are 360 Games that are NOT X Enhanced. Master Chief Collection is a One game that is NOT X enhanced(yet) and all of the 4 games contained on it are 360 games(Even the Halo 2 remaster doesn't really feel like it takes full advantage of being a "One" level game)....Gears Ultimate is a One game but is not X enhanced.
Meanwhile, Gears 2 and 3 are X Enhanced for 4K....but they are originally 360 games.
Gears of War 4 is the only Xbox One game that is X enhanced for 4K....so that is going to be a pretty spectacular experience.
I do not understand why Gears 1 no 4k support received.
This is what gets me about this generation.
They managed to fit FOUR Gears releases into the life span of the Xbox 360.
And so far, in this generation, they've managed ONE game.
Why is it so bad this time?
I actually liked Judgement, but yeah, I doubt it could be updated to 4K. It runs pretty well through backwards compatibility now after patches, but it could end up struggling once more if they try to enhance the resolution. Even as a fan of the game, I certainly wouldn't mind if they simply moved on from it at this point.
Anyone know when this update happened because it doesn’t say it’s enhanced on my Xbox one x but it looks amazing and way clearer than gears judgement and more close to gears 3 that’s enhanced so I’m thinking it did get the update
Compared to how ps2 games look compared to ps3 games, a lot of last gen titles look really good, compared to current mainstream games. I think Uncharted 2 and Gears of War 2-3 still look good rendered at 1080p or above. I remember TLOU in 4k looking fantastic. The only thing missing is the scope of current gen games, a lot of these last gen titles being very corridor-ish in their level designs, due to ram limitations I'm guessing. And I'm honestly still surprised to this day that the Xbox with it's superior graphics chip never quite caught on after the slew of 2007-2010 ps3 exclusives really looking good. Good times though, though we are certainly approaching a new jump forward in graphics quality with the next gen consoles. I am really excited to see a time when consoles are powerful enough to produce meaningful VR, a task I can not see possible with even Xbox X just yet. But I can see it coming next gen, or at latest 2 gens forward when we are dealing with 20+ tflop gpus in mainstream consoles. Good times are ahead for graphic heads.
Just sad there is no gow trilogy on pc. My fav 360 games
Hello , why i can.t play gears of wars 2 ?
I buy but i received a problem....
GoW 2 was awesome
great game thanks Epic
All I seem to play now is last gen games
gears of war pc works perfectly fine for me and the saves come back if i reinstall the game, online servers also work
The audio level in this video is very low.
Gears of War should go back to this gritty n dark art style the games looked so much better and had the best atmosphere
Microsoft did fix the PC version of GTA 4 that uses GFWL for saves, so there should be a way for them to fix Gears also.
