Today, on the eve of gamescom, Xbox and The Coalition are excited to announce that all fans who purchase Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, or the Xbox One Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Bundle, will be able to unlock the entire Gears collection via Xbox One Backward Compatibility. By playing Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on Xbox Live from Aug. 25 through Dec. 31, 2015, you’ll get access to Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3 and Gears of War: Judgment in Backward Compatibility when it launches this fall. In Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, you’ll get the complete remastering of the original game – painstakingly reimagined from the ground up with stunning next-gen graphics, recaptured and rebuilt cinematics, new achievements and modernized gameplay for an even better experience. And don’t forget the new maps, modes and missions, early access to the Gears of War 4 multiplayer beta, new Achievements, improved haptic feedback and an additional difficulty level – it’s a must-have for every Gears fan and part of the greatest games lineup in Xbox history.

All Gears of War titles will be supported on Backward Compatibility when it launches publicly this fall.

Doesn't backwards compatibility render this, or any other remaster, pointless?

That is one hell of a deal for anyone new to the series.

Faster frame rate, redone cutscenes, uprezzed textures, better resolution, adding in game mechanics from Gears 3 and remastered music.. So no, a remaster is not pointless, the fact you get 4 games free is stunning, HORDE LIVES!

GEARS 1 is on BC now? :toot:

Am I right in thinking they have given away all of the Gears games except 2 through Games with Gold?

Yep.

Pretty cool then that most long term Gold members will get all of them bar 2 on BC when it launches later this year. Apparently I never bothered to grab the first game though as it isn't coming up on my games list.

That's a pretty sweet deal, I already have Gears 1-3 but on disc so being able to play them digitally will be nice. I'm in the middle of a complete Halo MCC campaign playthrough so it'll be cool to do the same with gears.

Gears of War UE Launch Trailer, Dem Feels. :wub:

My plan is to play GoW ultimate edition and then replay 2 and 3 and experience the whole trilogy again

Is Judgement worth playing?

I'd say yes, it's a gorgeous game and its very game focused, story is almost non existant, it's gives options to only play with shotguns or only melee stuff to get A+ reward for portions of the game.

Risk reward stuff really plus a few horde moments in the campaign. I think it's better than Gears 2 easily.

I like Judgement but it is easily the worst Gears game for me. Still a good game nonetheless.

I loved Gears 2. It had horde mode. That alone makes me hold it in high esteem. I thought the campaign was fun.

I'll replay through them all, slightly concerning that last year and this I'll have played through Halos and Gears but I guess I've had a ball doing the Halo's.

Halo 5 is hopefully awesome though.
