Call of Duty Black Ops Voted ‘Best Game Ending’ Of All Time
16 hours 11 mins ago
With Gears of war being released on PC today, Eurogamer ask Mark Rein whether the Xbox 360 versions will contain the 5 new chapters that the PC version will have. It looks like the Xbox gamers will be recieving these five new chapters, although it is still early days and is yet to be confirmed.
Asked if Epic is categorically never going to release them as downloads for Xbox 360 users, Rein said, "It looks that way."
Never? "Well, never say never, but I mean there's no plans to do it. The problem is the two versions aren't really compatible," he added, reiterating the previous explanation that the PC and Xbox 360 code-bases are too far removed from one another for an efficient patch.
Gears of War on PC introduces chapters that bridge the gap between events at the end of Act 4 and those that kick off Act 5. In essence (mild spoiler), it explains why they go from the house to the train. Sort of.
Gears on PC also includes a level editor and of course the ability to play with a keyboard and mouse, which we certainly appreciated, and it also allows you to get on board with Games for Windows - Live (Xbox Live for Windows) on XP as well as Vista, meaning you can unlock another 1000 points worth of Gamerscore for Gears of War if you're really that bothered.

Does this mean PC gamers will be playing online against 360 gamers?
ive never played the 360 version but if its anything like the PC version (some ports can be pretty dodgy) then it must be a really great game.
and yeah, as far as i know the new chapters focus mainly on the brumak battle. looks fun. on the PC version you can skip straight to act 5 and the fight.
the editors very in-depth too. its like an unreal specialised version of maya, the best modeling/animation piece of software in existence. it would be difficult to get that onto the 360 due to how complicated it is. well not complicated, but there are alot of tools and itd be impossible to work with if you didnt have a mouse/keyboard setup.
