Story:A third-person tactical shooter from Epic, running on the Unreal Engine 3. Gears of War thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing story of humankind's epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet.
Unlike other shooters, Gears of War is all about teamwork in a big way. All game modes, levels and scenarios are designed specifically to encourage co-operative play, whether it be with A.I. partners or human players (with A.I. teammates designed with specific strengths, weaknesses and personalities.) On top of that, voice recognition will be available for players, and obviously voice chat to discuss strategy with your friends. In addition to voice chat, gamers will be able to experience individualized matchmaking, view player statistics, earn player achievements, customize their games, and build and personalize their gamer profiles over Xbox Live.Show more
Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.1 351
One of the best games on Xbox back in the day. I have fond memories playing co-op with my dad. Gears 1 actually had a pc port, but it was never released digitally and was plagued with games for windows live. I would love a digital release on GOG without GFWL and with multiplayer too if possible.
I grew up with Gears, seeing my father, then me, play. Awesome experience from end to beginning. A story set in a world where humans are being overruned with strange aline species, mowing dawn humanity, that is something. From the ennemies to the weapons, Gears has a universe so interresting that it's such a shame the 3 original game are not on PC.
The first game that made me choose the 360 over PC gaming. A single preview from a gaming magazine on Liverpool store, showing a horror, tactic game, totally different compared to Unreal Tournament, made for the same developers, Epic Games. The premise made me fall in love, and it has a pretty good campaign. The multiplayer componente was primitive but it was fun.
die hard gears fan right here! i own all the games lol and still enjoy them all but they could of left some things alone cause my feels man! my freaking feels! i know its not for everyone taste and preference but hell the gears series was one of many growing up playing and loved the combat system and story. hands down a great game that needs more recognition.
I heard this game came with the unreal editor, and saw how much cool stuff people made with it, sure i played the Xbox version but many times a game that can be modded or the community can add stuff into it, often become unforgettable as the community keeps it alive and updated.
Why the 2007 Gears of War PC Port Deserves a Comeback on GOG
The 2007 PC port of Gears of War was a landmark moment—it brought one of the Xbox 360’s most iconic exclusives to PC, featuring enhanced visuals, five additional campaign chapters not found on console, and full mouse and keyboard support. For many, it was the ultimate way to experience the gritty, cover-based shooter that redefined third-person action games.
Unfortunately, due to the use of the now-defunct Games for Windows – Live service, the game became nearly unplayable over time. Licensing issues, DRM complications, and lack of support made the PC version vanish into obscurity—despite its importance. That’s where GOG comes in.
Re-releasing Gears of War (2007) on GOG would be a huge win for game preservation and players alike. GOG is known for reviving classic titles, removing intrusive DRM, and ensuring compatibility on modern systems. A version of Gears that runs smoothly on today’s hardware, free of GFWL, and optionally supports controllers or keyboard/mouse would be a dream for fans of tactical shooters.
Moreover, this version includes content never re-released in other editions. Restoring it on GOG would allow newer generations of players to experience the definitive version of a genre-defining game.
And with Gears being a foundational Xbox franchise, bringing the original PC port to GOG would show respect for its legacy and prove there's still demand for classic, offline-friendly versions of major titles. It's time to chainsaw our way back into the Locust Horde—DRM-free.
