Earlier today, while attending a Microsoft press event in London's Covent Garden, we had an opportunity to spend some time with a demo version of Gears of War on the PC. As has been well documented previously, the upcoming PC version will feature content not found in the Xbox 360 version (at least not yet), including five new campaign chapters, three new multiplayer maps, and a new game type. Of course, the PC game will also support higher screen resolutions than its Xbox 360 counterpart and looked great running at 1920x1080 (1920x1200 will purportedly be the maximum) on large HDTV screens.
After opting for an Xbox 360 controller rather than a mouse and keyboard setup, we spent a short time playing through Gears of War's first chapter. This afforded us an opportunity to check out the PC game's visuals in a level that we're already familiar with, and although the improvements weren't mind-blowing, we certainly weren't disappointed. Your COG soldiers and their Locust enemies appear to benefit from the game's PC makeover a little more than the locales in which they do battle do. Their highly detailed faces and armor also hold up to even the closest scrutiny.
