http://www.gamespot.com/articles/gears-of-war-hd-remaster-runs-at-60fps-report/1100-6426910/

On Friday, a report emerged that claimed Microsoft was working on an HD remaster of the original Gears of War for Xbox One. Now, additional sources speaking to Polygon have shed more light on the project, which remains officially unannounced.

The site says it has seen a handful of multiplayer screenshots for the new Gears of War remaster, noting that the Xbox One version features better lighting and improved texture quality. The publication adds that multiplayer runs at 60fps.

This frame rate, which previous Gears of War games were not able to achieve, is the staple of Activision's Call of Duty series. This year's Halo 5: Guardians will also run at 60fps.

In addition, the Gears of War HD Remaster will reportedly feature new cinematics.

Another source told Polygon that Splash Damage, the UK-based independent studio behind games likeBrink and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, is handling development on the Gears of War HD remaster. Multiple job postings at the developer reference that the studio is currently working on a "very well known and highly popular AAA title with next gen technology."

Microsoft acquired the Gears of War franchise from Epic Games last year, putting its internal team Black Tusk Studios to work on a new entry in the action-shooter series for Xbox One. That project is separate from the reported remaster.

As for when Microsoft may officially announce the Gears of War HD Remaster, and maybe Black Tusk's new project, producer Rod Fergusson previously teased that fans should tune in to E3 in June. For its part, Microsoft has said its E3 presentation this year will focus on first-party games.

The original Gears of War was released in 2006 for Xbox 360 and PC. It has since spawned three major follow-ups: Gears of War 2 (2008), Gears of War 3 (2011), and Gears of War: Judgment (2013). A spinoff called Gears of War Exile--rumored to be a Kinect game--was canceled.

Though it certainly sounds like the Gears of War HD Remaster is in development, Microsoft has not offered any kind of statement whatsoever regarding the project.

Oh snap! 60fps = seal of next gen quality. What is your interest in this series, SW? I'm new to the series as I was primarily a PS3 player last gen (MGS 4 ftw). I would definitely pick this up as I'm manticore now. You?

60 fps on a next gen game = seal of quality, not a last gen rehash.

I can't believe they are releasing the one game you can already play on PC at 1080p 60fps. Thank you Sony for giving MS the idea of remastering 1 game at a time.

I'd fucking hope so, not particularly because I care, but if it didn't achieve 60fps then I'm sure I wouldn't hear the end of it... for that matter, better be 1080p too.

Pass I'm done with single game remasters. If its not a collection like MCC or Metro then it's not worth it. Besides Gears sucks anyway

Lol, I read the title like this was going to be a remastering of several Geow games.

Yeah single games should come at a really low price or be bundled along with other remasters of the series.

I'm still expecting a bundle, and that they are just waiting for E3 to have a surprise. Last year we also thought at first that it was only going to be Halo 2, and then a couple of days before E3, we heard "The Master Chief Collection" name drop

I expect this game to be under the $20 threshold or a free GWG giveaway. Why bring out just the one it makes no sense. I am expecting more to be revealed at e3 about this.

I'll be passing on this single title remaster. I found Gears of War great fun for coop but that's it really, and definitely not worth a $40 price tag I expect it to be when the original game has been $5 at a GameStop value shelf for quite a few years now. Actually, $3 at the moment, as is Gears 2. Gears 3 is $5 and Judgment is $9.

I personally wouldn't find the revamped visuals to be worth the purchase, but I hope Gears fans are happy with it while a new one is being developed.

@SolidGame_basic: Anyone else sick of "remasters"?

I really enjoyed ET:QW - for the PC . Yes, yes, I hate gaming on PCs - but the 360 port sucked really, really bad.

Gears of War is the best TPS franchise around, Shuhei Yoshida would cut of his left nut sack for Gears of War on PS4

I wonder if they will revamp gears 1 gameplay. After playing gears 2/3, its so hard to go back to playing gears 1.

Played the hell out of it in 2006, I want to play new games now. Stop trying to get me to rebuy games I've already played and give me something new. I don't see many PS gamers switching to X1 this gen so I'd imagine that most people who wanted to play Gears Of War 1, played it sometime between 2006 and now. Let's see what they charge and a collection ala MCC would make a lot more sense.

Seriously this is some fuckery, Gears pc was released in 2007 and this sounds like the exact same thing. Maybe MS is scared to put another compilation out after how MCC turned out, although I'm positive that was a 343 issue.

If it's remastered, I might get it for PC(IF it comes to that platform at all). I dunno, though. Gears hasn't aged very well to me.

I only played the 1st GeOW, and would only pick this up if it was a collection having all the GeOW games.

If done well, will buy on the cheap. Gears 1 is the only game in the trilogy that really needs remastering. Meaning not just res and framerate bump, but new textures etc. Wonder if single player will be 60fps too.

The other 2 they could just slap 1080p or higher on it and call it a day. Gears 2 bullshots looked ridiculously good.

@davem1992: I already played it last-gen, if they add something that wasn't on PS3, then we'll see. I do enjoy God of War series, so I'll think about it as we get close to release date if I'm not playing any major games.

These are not games that need remasters. Good for the time, but not classics.

@SolidGame_basic:

You should try the games on a 360. Borrow one and the games, one of your friends must have one, go to their house and play it. Proclaiming you're a manticore now doesn't make it so. Everyone knows where your allegiance is

@DarkLink77: @charizard1605: Umm you guys, didn't we learn anything from MCC? If MS were to do the same with Gears, it's MCC disaster all over again. This is the better way to just do one at a time. I rather have a remastered game 99.8% (nothing is never 100%) better launch game.

The MCC speaks more to the fact that 343 is incompetent than it does that this sort of thing can't be done.

@davillain-: Right I am so sick of this "MCC disaster repeat".

Why exactly does this excuse it huh?

According to Xbox fanboys MCC was using 5 different engines while Gears uses the same 3 in each game, there is no excuse.

I already played Gears of War at 120fps. Why would I downgrade to a mere 60fps?

Anyways, if this comes in a Collection, I might dip in. If it's only Gear of War 1, look above.^
