Feedback from the beta is in
Gears of War: Ultimate Editionis creeping up on me with that August 25 release date. I missed the beta for this Xbox One remaster, but plenty of you didn’t. A million matches were logged in a week and, somehow, a single person claiming to be human participated in 597 of them. Darren tells me it has taken himsix monthsto play about that many matches inThe Last of Us Factions.
Some (but not all) of The Coalition’s takeaways from the beta:
I’m primarily looking forward toUltimate Editionfor its multiplayer, but thestory modehas also been retouched, so we’ll see. The package sounds fairly comprehensive: “19 maps (plus special community map ‘Boxes’), all the original game modes inGears of War, plus Team Deathmatch and King of the Hill, split-screen support, party support, LAN support, private matches on dedicated servers, two spectator slots in private and LAN matches (does not take up player slots), and 17 additional playable multiplayer characters unlocked with level progression in Versus.”
