Gears head

Rod Fergusson, studio head at The Coalition, revealed at the PC Gaming Show that Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is coming to PC.

Ferguson said about the remastered game: "We built everything from the ground up." The Ultimate Edition will feature visual improvements, support for 4K resolution and DirectX 12, and no framerate locking.

For those hoping to see Gears of War 4 on PC, there's no news there. When asked if he had anything else to present to PC gamers, Fergusson said, "Nothing to announce. Maybe we can talk about it at a later time."

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
