Locusts beckon: incoming Gears of War PC release date, details, screens |
Ó
Lock and load, mercs, because the Locust Horde will be emerging from the depths to invade your PCs by November 6. And don't worry much about Epic Games' Gears of War for Windows: despite being a product of Unreal Engine 3 development (shader 2.0) and Microsoft publishing, it will arrive on both Windows XP and Vista on PCs sporting older hardware to the newest and latest.
Epic may have claimed that the Windows version of Gears of War will come on an improved Unreal Engine 3, but things aren't all about moving up and forward. Giving gamers with dated hardware lots of love, the new, "almost different" UE3 will run on older hardware. If UE3-powered Unreal Tournament 3's requirements are anything to go by, then there's probably little need to worry.
"Once you fire it up on the PC...it's almost like an entirely new game. ... Gears PC is almost on a different engine. ... You can tell it's not trying to be a PC game," said game director Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games. Gamers disappointed with the critical flop that was FASA Studios' Shadowrun can rest easy, because Bleszinski assures Gears of War will not be a PC port.
"Quite frankly, we want there to be other reasons to buy the PC version," added Bleszinski. As a result, Gears of War for Windows will arrive with PC-exclusive content to lure gamers to its midst - some of which we've covered before.
In addition to the 19 multiplayer maps made available to Xbox 360 gamers, the PC version with arrive with 5 new single player chapters, a King of the Hill multiplayer mode and three new multiplayer maps, an editor for the mod-inclined, and yes, the highly anticipated battle against a Brumak.
