Ok I have an Xbox Series S and I have gamepass.
What do I need to do if I want to play all of the Gears games in order? Do I download the ultimate edition? Is that just 1 remastered? Do I have to separately download 2 and 3 ie the 360 ones? Then grab 4, and I see 5 has a Series S version?
Yes, Ultimate Edition is a remaster of Gears of War 1.
2 and 3 are Xbox One X enhanced 360 games.
Judgment is sadly not enhanced.
In this case I would play Ultimate Edition, then play 2, 3 (and judgement if you want) BC before removing up to 4 and 5.
Although Judgement was just ‘fine’ to me, it’s unfortunate it’s not enhanced, it looked absolutely incredible visually.
It’s not as essential as 2 and 3 but it’s a decent game in its own right. Also set up some plot threads for Gears 5 interestingly enough. And yeah very good looking, so it’s a shame it’s not in 4K like the others.
I too am in a vibe to play the Gears franchise. I only played the first two games back in the 360 and never played anything after. Didn’t know that Gears Ultimate Edition was a remaster for the first game.
Thanks for the help all. I installed Gears Ultimate Edition and will start with that. Then I’ll work through the rest as suggested.
Judgement looks fuckin awesome and it isn’t even enhanced. I hope they do enhance it. Some really good scenes in that game.
But I would go thru Judgement/Ultimate/2/3/4/5. Plain and simple.
