Gears Of War 4 (coming to Win 10 in Oct)

[oldestgregg]

Pro tip if like many you are not able to download the game after pausing the crappy Windows store download You have to download the entire 73.3Gb in 1 go without pausing it then its possible otherwise be prepared for frustration as it appears the Win 10 store does not currently have a working pause button due to MS utter lack of QA regarding their own store

I spent days trying to download & grabbed around 100Gb on several failed attempts where I paused the download then today left the PC on for 4.5 hours & it successfully downloaded all 73.3Gb in 1 attempt.

Good DRM from MS actually not letting many people even download the game they paid for along with the Win 10 locked to 1 Xbox account DRM & the EFF file encryption DRM which unlocks on the fly as you play it (same DRM schemes used on the new Forza Win 10 game).

Game does look seriously good graphically though but screenshots do not do it justice you have to look closely at some of the PC in game videos released

Also if you bought the Ultimate edition of this game its unlocked for you on the 7th October 4 days before the release date for the other versions of the game!

Aw man. Im seriously considering picking up the ultimate edition now as this will be my only MP game I play

ok downloaded ultimate edition and preloaded ......

Anyone know when this game or what time it will release unlock at ? cause with the digital ultimate edition we are meant to be unlocking 4 days earlier...... so does it unlock today or tomorrow ? anyone know the GMT time ?

This game is picking up steam and hype. Watched the live stream last night and it was great.

I hope someone makes a ocuk club or something like forza horizon 3 and the port is apparently the best from the uwp and store so far.

Does it show up in the store ? did you check the store account purchases

Turns out I wasn't logged into the Windows Store. Assumed I would be after being logged into Xbox app. I see the game in my library now

Got to 50gb and I paused it...big mistake! Now starting the DL again

Not looking good for AMD, Fury X beaten off the 1060, and even the 970.

Not holding much hope for my 290's in xfire but I still have an Xbox One if it doesnt run well.

 

[JakePNEFC]

Tempted to upgrade my 980 to a 1080 and get this..

Its got the season pass included and and a few more bits. TBH its going to be the only MP game I play so I thought I might as well get all the maps I can

 

[Amatsubu]

Damn, this game has a crapload of settings And, surprisingly, seems to be running all right on decent hardware?

 

[Sega Mega Dave]

Supposedly its a pretty decent port from everything I've seen. Seems like they have made an effort.

Private online matches, OCUK PC v Console>?

 

[Amatsubu]

Just my usual luck, had a cheap nvidia key for this game and let it go because I was scared it'd run like crap. Splashed out on Forza Ultimate and it runs like crap, whereas Gears is said to perform decently

[sunlitsix]

Crossplay for the Campaign and Horde modes iirc.
