"Gears of War: Reinstalled" officially launched on the Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC and Xbox cloud gaming platforms today, giving players the opportunity to relive this most representative third-person shooting game with a new look.This game is an upgraded and ported version of "Gears of War: Ultimate Edition" developed by The Coalition, assisted by Sumo Digital and Disbelief, and released by Xbox Game Studios.

For old players, the most concerned thing is the difference between the remake and the original Xbox 360 in 2006 and the ultimate in 2015.According to early analysis, the most significant upgrade lies in the lighting system: the reflection, shadow and global lighting effects are significantly improved, enhancing the sense of space and atmosphere creation of the environment.Texture quality and detail-level rendering have also been slightly improved, but the effect is not as significant as lighting changes.

Despite these optimizations, the game retains its technical foundation.This work continues to use Unreal 3 Engine, but incorporates features that are partly derived from Unreal 5 Engine to achieve modern presentation.This hybrid technology solution not only improves the sharpness of the picture, but also retains the unique texture of the original work.The deleted content in the first generation of Xbox 360 version has now returned, and the split-screen cooperation mode has been retained (except for PC platforms).

For players who have experienced "Gears of War: Ultimate", this upgrade may be a bit conservative.Although the improvement in picture quality is not subversive, the subtle improvements and content completion make it a more complete version.

However, this game has mixed reviews on Steam for the time being, and the main reason is the conflict with the binding of Microsoft account. Many players have reported that binding to the Microsoft account with the Steam version will cause a crash.
