That looks great and can we just take a moment to appreciate a developer supporting campaign split-screen co-op? Quite rare and the times it does happen, it's mostly two player. The Coalition went that step further.
Which modes can be played in split-screen?
Xbox
Three player split-screen is supported in the following modes:
PC
- Campaign (2 Characters + Jack)
- Horde
- Escape
- Versus
In Gears 5, only our campaign experience supports local split-screen co-op on PC.
No, those were originally:
Mac (Anchor)
Clayton (Gunner)
Lizzie (Pilot)
Marcus (Veteran)
Cole (Brawler)
In the last update they separated the characters from their classes, so you can be Marcus as a sniper etc.
I know this, guys. I'm sorry if I didn't correctly convey what I was trying to say but Wake Lestat understood what I was driving at.Lahni is a "Blademaster". Cole was the "Brawler". These are for Horde/Escape.
So is this included with the $10 GamePass for PC subscription?
Can't help but wonder, with Xbox announcing the Forza and Gears DLC this week that they must have bigger news to announce at TGAs? Am I crazy here?Nice, been looking forward to this. I finished my Series X replay of Gears 5 a week or so ago and I've been waiting to play this before I free up some SSD space. Looks great!
I was kind of expecting it to get announced at the Game Awards, so I guess we can scratch that one off!
Looks like its gonna be a standaloneI'll ask again, can this be played as a stand-alone title or do I have to download the base game?
I wouldn't be surprised if this and the FH4 trailer are actually what MS considers big parts of their VGA showing that they just got out there early for the hardest of hardcore. A lot of people watch the VGAs that won't know about this stuff until showtime, I think.Since MS didn't feel the need to show this and the Horizon update at the game awards im very curious what they will show.
Holy shit is this how good Gears 5 looks? damn I really need to play this game.
Gears is gorgeousHoly shit is this how good Gears 5 looks? damn I really need to play this game.
I don't think it is standalone. As you've pointed it out, it says you need the game, and the official blog about it says it's an update to the base game.Thank you. This page says it requires a game, and it doesn't clarify if Gears 5 needs to be installed.

No sir, this is not true.I was able to enjoy Forza 4 and all its dlc just by subscribing to pc GP.
Thank you. This page says it requires a game, and it doesn't clarify if Gears 5 needs to be installed.
as a PC player, the coalition certainly gets credit for supporting splitscreen campaign on coop, but that goodwill evaporated for me because leading up to release, they said they would be supporting 3 player splitscreen on PC.
Gears 5 will support 3-player splitscreen on PC
A nice feature for a predictably beefy PC version.www.pcgamer.com
fast forward to the release of the game, though:

so, they failed to mention that PC was only getting some splitscreen support, while Xbox was getting more modes playable in splitscreen.
seems to be a consistent thing with microsoft, as MCC has splitscreen on xbox but not on the newer PC version.

This could make a good case for being the best looking console game out right now. It's that sexyHoly shit is this how good Gears 5 looks? damn I really need to play this game.
I didn't know MCC games didn't have split-screen on PC and that's very disappointing, but it's something we've often seen on the format. As for Gears 5, I knew about that and while it is annoying, that it doesn't support every mode, the PC version of split-screen comes with its own advantages. Not only did it run at 60fps or higher at launch, it used the entire screen, while the Xbox version had large black bars at the sides.
All that said, it would have been nice to have every mode supported and it's understandable being disappointed, when the other version has it.
