A shame Play Anywhere isn't available for retail version, I would've liked to test those settings out a bit, it's seems pretty awesome and extensive.
Sure, just boot camp Windows 10 on it.

I don't know how the game will present any challenge at all with mouse support. I love CSGO and Overwatch on PC, but the slower nature of rolling and shotgun gameplay shines on controllers and actually presents a consistent challenge.
Anyone with experience with the GOW1 port on PC wanna chime in?

The real thing holding me back from Windows 10 marketplace isn't the market itself, it's that most games formally categorised at Xbox One exclusives have run like shit. If this ends up beinga good port I may bite.
By retail you mean disc versions? I wonder if they'll sell code versions at stores.

The 2nd MS exclusive I will own. First being Quantum Break.
Starting to get more hyped for Gears 4.

Co-op only so horde and campaign.

That's certainly agreeable. Won't give anyone any chances to bitch about m/kb or anything, while still letting people crossplay.

They should do a "controller only" queue so that I can play multiplayer with my Xbox friends. Just cut mouse and keyboard support in the game and if it detects a Xbox controller then I can jump in.
It's cross play on Pc and X1.
That would be cool, but with PC being a PC I could see people modding their way around restrictions like that.
It will be still Xbox One port though 
Can't wait for Scorpio ports.
Also in multiplayer?

This shit is what I like to hear.
I want this for future Play Anywhere games. Not like I'll take advantage of it, but my friends sure will when they're around.
Problem is, something like that might be exploitable. What happens when someone figures out how to trigger aim assist while using kb/m?

I will be ready. Should be my first game played in 4K as well, plan is to buy a new monitor by then.
Oh I didn't know now it was co op only. Thanks for clarification.
Except this game is all new code, 100% UE4 while GoW: Ultimate Edition was built on top of the UE3 code-base of the original.

Yeah on disc, I already preordered it.
Well, on one hand that would be a pain in the ass for online play like is sometimes the case on certain titles, on the other hand, it would mean someone was able to do non-file related modding on a UWP, which would make some pc folks happy.

The dynamic resolution is the interesting bit for me. I was wondering if that would ever come given that some people on budget systems could make use of it. Or rather people that can run the game 90% well enough but there's always a portion that runs bad on their hardware.
I see it as a good thing. Make it known that games which are locked or capped is a negative.

Sounds like a sick port.
Now add 360 BC to PC

I have the game on PC and I play it with mouse and keyboard controls remapped to a Steam controller. Let's just say that the Steam controller is amazing verses an Xbox One controller, especially because of the mouse aiming. Headshots are a fucking breeze. I say all of this as someone who used to put a ton of hours into Gears 2 and 3 (the things I could have done with a Steam controller back then lol).

Unlocked framerate?
120FPS Gears of War sounds fucking wonderful. Might have to pick this up to try out on my 1080.

Thank you. This is good "news" as I plan to play multiplayer on Xbox and it would suck to play against M&K.
Great to have cross play coop though.
I wonder if games like Forza will have cross play multi, it would make sense.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Forza Horizon 3 definitely will. It was shown at E3.

Sounds like it'll be the definitive version

Different engine though, and the one which is actually designed to work on modern hardware.
On lower settings? I don't see what might prevent it. I do wonder though if they'll keep UE4's D3D11 renderer in (apparent) addition of a D3D12 one - 680 have a lot of chances to perform better in D3D11.

All MS has to do is put out solid ports on the Windows 10 Store and they'll get buyers. If the Anniversary Update truly makes the store more usable, that is.

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
Modding in UWP?
Killer Instinct runs on a potato PC and Forza Apex runs smooth as butter.

You can mod UWP who says you can't?
Only if the developer lets you.

I don't trust MS on a pc port until I see it.

Considering that Gears Ultimate Edition was one of the worst PC ports in recent years, this is something I would be very hesitant to claim, ignoring the fact that we're judging this on a bunch of claims from an unproven developer.
I believe thats a UWP deficiency.
At this time out data is as follows from MS.
Gears Ultimate - Not great
QB - Butt tier
KI - Flawless
Forza - Flawless
Did they fix the refresh rate issue in KI?
