PC Gears of War PC: TrustedReviews.com Preview

[Atif]

"Gears of War PC is looking to be an excellent conversion of an already excellent game, which is probably all you need to know. Moreover, with the PC version providing new chapters, more story, another major boss battle in the form of the Brumak, more multiplayer options and an editor, there are still plenty of reasons to consider it, even if you've played it on the Xbox 360," Andy Vandervell of TrustedReviews reports in a 3-page preview of Gears of War for the PC.

*yawn*

good stuff

On the plus side, in the last year Epic has found the time to fasten a few bells and whistles to its grunting, stomping monster of a third person shooter. When the PC version of Gears is released this October it'll be with an all new King of the Hill multiplayer mode, three new maps, a game editor and five new single player chapters. It's up for debate whether this makes up for the 360 days spent waiting since the 360 release, but after our playtest we can at least tell you that it's all good stuff that has Gears' trademark polish.
The new single player levels slot neatly into the middle of the original campaign, the aim here being for them to fill the holes in the plot. So hopefully PC gamers won't have to employ as much guesswork as to how and why the train and bomb at the end of the game come about.

other stuff

Graphics are a little more disappointing. Playing the PC version did reveal the kind of improved resolution that we were told about before we were let loose on the demo units, but it's going to take a serious rig to get Gears to make use of them. What's worrying is the version we were playing seemed to have lost some of the post-processing effects- the blood spray in particularly seemed more vivid and more defined, appearing even more cartoony than the 360's ketchup splodge gore.

It is. Guess the pale europeans have weak stomaches.
