normally I play the Gears 1 at least like once a year around this time of year. But. Just wasnt feeling it tonight. So I just opened up wine & watched the cut scenes. CUZ THIS SHIT IS MY KIND OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks uploader. Great reading all the comments of people talking about the golden age of gaming. This was one of the big games that made it the golden era

The graphics were so ahead of its time in 2006 holy shit

'Jack rip that door' brings back so many memories

Finally a gears of war campaign and not ultimate edition

I could've sworn the brumak battle was only added into ultimate edition. I don't remember it being in the original game at all and was shocked to see an old cutscene of it here.

19:20 Funny, when i recorded this part it was different. Lol and Marcus "Baird, turn that shit off!" Haha!

I haven’t seen any comments clearly explaining what the OG and Remake do better so I’m going to make a clear list Gears OG: the cutscenes are longer and more natural. When Hoffman says get it done - I want you to give me 110% Fenix! It’s a lot quicker and more unatural in the Ultimate edition The music: the music in the OG uses the gritty music you’ve come to know a lot better. When dom breaks Marcus out of jail the eerie music plays the whole time. In the ultimate edition the music is gone The 2000s “Saw” shot: Becsuse of the OG’a budget and limitations with the graphics engine at the time they do a lot camera zooming and shaky cam. Example of this would be when the berserker cutscene happens. In the OG it’s shaky and very horror centric with its shots. Giving the perception the berserker is a rabid beast. Also the way the original shows the depressing state of the war and what it once was is handled better. In the Kim death cutscene it starts out with Marcus having flashbacks to the time everything wasn’t in ruin. Getting slightly more saturated with color. In ultimate these flashes don’t happen. Berserker cutscene: in the original as I stated the shaky camera is way better. But on top of this one thing the original does better is the over the top violence to make you terrified of the berserker. When it kills the cog who runs away, the berserker takes the cog for about 8 seconds and rips him apart. It’s so over the top and the amount of blood that comes is unrealistic but extremely disturbing. Also the bomber cutscene in the original is way better IMO. There’s and extra second or two to register the cute rat so when he dies it is more impactful (sounds stupid but watch both it’s true.) also the shot of them walking is way more intimidating IMO than in the remake. I also like how they warn Baird and dom of boomers as there walking to further show how scared the gears are of boomers. Overall gears OG has way worse graphics but a way better horror vibe and gritty element ULTIMATE EDITION: ULtimate does a better job of adding little details and obvious graphics enhancements. One small detail I like to point out is you can actually see Baird grab the tunnel data as they leave after setting the resonator. The small cutscene with raam after the resonator is also way better In ultimate. Instead of shooting the cog with a Boltok like in the original, they demonstrate raams strength by easily snapping his neck. An obvious improvement. Although the Kim death cutscene overall is better in the original, the actual skirmish between him and raam is a lot better in the remake. Kim tried to chainsaw him first and then as he is stabbed he spits on raams face. After that I can’t think of too many specific examples but obviously the graphics of how people move and stuff is way better than the OG The OG as stated doesn’t nail the horror aspects quite as well as gears OG, but makes for a way more immersive experience nonetheless. Both games have there strong suits and I enjoy playing both still when I’m in different moods. The coalition overall did an excellent job on there remake. Obviously nothing will be perfect and it’s easy to nitpick when it’s all said and done, but overall it is an extremely solid remake that adds a lot to the experience of the game. The og due to limitations was just able to make a more gritty game for the time.

19:25 Damn, that is my jam!

7:26 It looks like Kim gives a friendly wave to the sniper that just fucking nailed poor Anthony.

that old microsoft logo man, classic.

This game is gonna live on in my heart forever🫡

The original cutscenes especially Kim's death and the final one are so much better than the remaster

These were the days

Man I miss these days. I'd sprint off the bus and rush inside to load up some execution matches. The load up, the menu music, looking through the servers to find the hosts you always played with. There was always that one host that was a boss with the torque bow. Then there was the other guys that were always on Gridlock, all Carmine and all snipers, all spawn camping the other team. I miss the pitched grenade fights on the steps of Clock Tower. I miss kung-fu flipping out of the map to hunt down glitchers. I miss it all. That was like 5 gamer tags ago. Back then I was Cr1ms0n L1b3rty. The kid is 13 now and missed all of these golden days. Hard to believe. I'd kill to have a full match of old-schoolers these days. Nothing hits like old-fashioned GoW. Nothing.

This was my first ever Blood and Gore game

RAAM has a huge ass sword in the original Gears. In UE, it’s much shorter and looks like a dagger which I don’t like. It would’ve been nicer if they kept it the same.

While I didn't have too much problems with the ultimate edition.... I thought the cinematography of the original truly conveyed the darkness of the story... And while the visuals are dated I still felt that Delta squad looked more rugged...

The camera work is immersive as hell in 1080p

45:32 still the best end credits track

I prefer these old gritty cutscenes. You know you are playing the very first one, no doubt about it

I love the part where the boomer stomps the rat the rat is cute

Been goin through all the games again and man i forgot how hard the OG game was. Stilk dorky as hell and fun i love it

This game is really the best game ever made

7:24 NOOOOOOO

Its funny seeing Marcus meet Baird for first time after finding out in judgement day he did the same as Marcus and messed up his mission that's how Marcus knew who Baird Was

It still looks beautiful

Baird turn that shit off 😂😂😂

14:30 always will be better than UE of bairds reaction to marcus being promoted lmao

I’ve always wondered how shooting Raam made him lose his hand?

This is killer

I love Anthony Carmine!

4:32 I actually liked this part of the original since carmine was there alive. In UE, when a carmine was running, or that was Anthony, got shot in the fuckin’ head.

good ol times poor ps5 and xsx dont have one proper action game for 4 years .

4:00 another reason why I like the 2006 version better, because when Hoffman tells Marcus to step aside he doesn’t and Kim goes around him. Showing he still wont bow to him.

RAAM looks 10 times more meanacing in the original, in the ultimate edition he looks like a dumb brute. Plus the scene at 26:50 is a lot more brutal. That being said the ultimate edition has better cutscenes (that show a lot more the pesonality and expressions of the characters).

Yes

37:44 that explains why it was cut from the original Xbox version

I honestly never liked remasters and remakes in video games I mean it it isn’t broken don’t fix it, I personally liked OG gears of war way more than UE same with halo CE and 2 over master chief collection editions

Great game

The one thing I wish Ultimate did was keep the color palette. Keeps the desolate and depressing tone. Other than that the remake scenes are great.

So you if pay the bundle You get all the gears of war games on Xbox one

I can't beat RAAM on hardcor3 lol

Zack Snyder - Gears Of War movie please!

If only the 360 was that good

22:04 “ohhh, crap”

Man is there some mod, filter or it was just me that forgot that gears 1 had a green feel instead of a grey and blue

My game skipped the whole bridge segment for some reason when i played Gears 1 OG. I thought it was something the ultimate edition added. Weird glitch ngl

I love the OG cutscenes but clearly a lot of people here are wearing rose tinted glasses.

I just got the cosmonaut YAY

Gears Of War And Epic Games Forever

U mist the Cole train scene out before y meet him when he's kicking ass

I know this may sound weird But ue is better than the original first game

Listen closely and you'll hear a burp 19:08

💪 🗿....

The scenes are just directed differently from the remaster and the original.

Is this pc

surprise qte lol

I love you 💚❤️💚❤️❤️💋

8:39 kojak

Gears of war

Nahhh Gears UE cutscenes were way better. Detailed animation and smooth too. These old cutscenes are chunky and out dated.

All the movement was annoying.

Your pc settings have ruined the dark atmospheric lighting in a few places

THE ORIGINAL WAS BETTER

Oh I missed those days alright? I usually look up to this game as a graphic benchmark (along with FEAR). Anyone still remember when EGM Magazine still a thing and there are a cover with Baird about to to be excute by the Drone? or the story of some dude already have a tattoo from the games? Good time.
