As Epic’s Mark Reign confirmed a while back, Gears of War was getting extra content with its debut on the PC platform. His exact words were “it’s about 20 percent extra” when discussing extra content added between chapters 4 & 5 of the campaign. Gears of War will also bring three new multi-player maps, new game modes, a game editor, and of course Games for Windows – Live support. Sorry, no PC to 360 cross-platform networking. Epic felt such a daunting task would have pushed the long awaited title well past the holidays.
Regardless, PC gamers have been anxiously waiting on Gears of War to come to their beloved platform. With Epic’s stance on Unreal Tournament III being released “when it’s done”, and news of UT3’s potential November release date now in the air, many fans have been looking to GoW as a stopgap to UT3. In any event, the above video shows new gameplay footage taken from the PC version of Gears of War. It should give a good idea of what PC gamers are to expect this holiday.
[Fair Warning regarding the video: There is a fair amount of adult language used as well as graphic violence.]
Why on earth are they still using the controller to play on the pc. I don’t even have to see the person playing to know that they were using a controller to make this demo reel. So slow… makes me cry just watching this. Show me the pc reel with a guy playing with the keyboard and mouse. Then we’ll see some serious ass kicking.
