new Judgement trailer and pre-order announcement
Original “Gears of War” Games on Demand tokens will be included in early copies of “Gears of War: Judgment,” offering fans and newcomers alike a fantastic way to experience the iconic game that started it all
Microsoft and Epic Games today unveiled a new “Gears of War: Judgment” video entitled “The Guts of Gears,” giving fans an in-depth preview of the most intense and action-packed “Gears” campaign yet in the highly anticipated blockbuster, which launches worldwide on March 19, 2013. Narrated by the game’s hero and fan-favorite character Lt. Baird, the video offers a sneak peek at the wealth of exciting new campaign features, including the dynamic Smart Spawn System, new weapons, dynamic defense scenarios, Declassified Missions, new player rewards, and more.
Additionally, Microsoft and Epic Games also announced that initial launch quantities of “Gears of War: Judgment” will include a Games on Demand Xbox LIVE download token for the epic game that started it all, “Gears of War,” in all worldwide regions except Germany.* Research indicates that more than half of the consumers who played “Gears of War 3” did so without having experienced the original title from Epic Games. This added bonus, a $19.99 value, offers veteran fans and newcomers alike a fantastic way to re-experience the iconic game that sparked one of this generation’s most beloved and critically-acclaimed franchises and connect with the prequel storyline of “Gears of War: Judgment.”
*The original “Gears of War” was not sold in Germany due to ratings restrictions, and therefore is not part of this promotion. All tokens are restricted to region-specific markets and will only work in the region they were purchased in.
To bad they can't update the matchmakeing for gears 1 or add the PC extras that would make playing it again worth it.
Ya that would have kicked ass if they added act 5 or whatever that extra add-on PC content was . BUt they're just giving you a download code for Games on Demand so it's exactly what you'll get if you go to Gamestop and pay $4 for Gears 1 used there.
Guess I'll have 3 copies of Gears 1 then. Lol.
At least the campaign looks intact gameplay-wise. Executions, active reload...etc.
Tank - if you ever want to try to finish of Gears 1 on PC I still have my copy. Hopefully our connection will be better than it was before.
I also have a better headset.
NIce... and I have a better computer at this point so I could run it better. i'll have to try and install it this weekend and see how well it runs.
I got it new. Friend of mine has been looking and it's apparently hard to find now and expensive.
It's still $60 on amazon.com
You can find it on ebay sealed for between $25 - $80
There's a bunch on amazon used for $10 and up. I don't remember though if it had a one time use online code to play. I do remember that it uses the PC Xbox Live so having a gold account was a requirement.
Thanks for keeping us up to date Tank!!!! I know a bunch of people aren't all that excited about this new Gears but that Trailer looks awesome...
Thanks for the info. I might do some digging of my own to see if I can get a cheap copy.
I think it's like with most PC games, there's an installation key. I think it gets tied to your gamertag once you install the Windows Live or whatever it's called. So I dunno if a used copy will work.
source?
ah damn....microsoft store or lamestop.....hmmm
I think that pre-orders must be pretty low for Gears or at least lower than expectations. Seems kind of suspicious to me that they would wait so late to start dumping all the pre-order extras on us when there had already been the pre-order character and hammerburst as pre-order bonuses. I think they're trying to drum up some business in a very very competitive March and people really don't seem to be paying it much attention.
I preordered it today finally. From the Microsoft Store. Got a free 1600 point card with it. Though the code obviously won't be emailed to me until the day the game ships.
Sadly won't have the game day 1....but at least I know it's coming. I may end up being a douche and getting a 2nd copy from Gamestop as well so I can play on launch night and just resell the copy from the MS Store.
I was super fired up for this game but was crushed when i heard DBNO was removed, thats what made Gears IMO I put my money on Bioshock Infinite I might regret it but really hated that DBNO was removed
