Gears of War Ultimate coming
Posted: 02.01.2011 00:00 by JonahFalcon Comments: 4
Retail stores have gotten a Gears of War Ultimate listing. The bundle will cost $29.99 USD, and appears to include both Gears of War 1 and 2.

The bundle lists February 15, 2011 as the release date, and seems to be a compilation of both games with all available downloadable content. Even though it seems the new bundle seems to be prepping gamers for Gears of War 3, there will be no Gears of War 3 content included in the bundle at all - though an Epic Games rep seemed to hint there would indeed be a beta sometime in 2011.

Gears of War this, Gears of War that! Sheesh, when's PC version of Gears of War 2 going to be developed? I know someone said that ain't gonna happen, something because of piracy but come on, that's the lamest excuse ever.

It may be an excuse. but unfortunately it's one they can rely upon. In all fairness, if somebody is still waiting for a PC release of GoW2 before they play the game, they're on something....

I for one do hope however, that Gow3 is released for PC if it's on the new W8 OS.

This would have been a grand opportun ity to release a PC version of "GoW 2", as Jasca says. If Microsoft is so "PC-friendly" (a BIG "if") and is promoting Windows 8 as the premier gaming OS, then this should have been a priority.
Alas, seen it all before with "HALO 2" and Vista.

I wait and see what is "microsoft pc gaming friendly" means. I dont buy (OS) it without BIG support (not one title like H2 with Vista). Microsoft PR hype is not enough. And XP is still very good OS.
