Gears 6 won’t be announced “for some time”
If you’re eager to find out what happens next with JD, Del, Marcus, and Kait, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that Gears of War developer The Coalition is switching over to Unreal Engine 5, meaning the next Gears game is going to look even prettier than Gears 5 does. The bad news is also that Gears of War developer The Coalition is switching over to Unreal Engine 5 – because that means we’ve got a while to wait before we hear anything about Gears 6.
Following on the release of strategy game Gears Tactics and the Xbox Series X|S launch of Gears 5, The Coalition says it’s looking to capitalise on the advanced hardware now available. “As we look to future games, we’re excited to start shifting our resources to next-gen development using Unreal Engine 5,” the studio writes in an update posted today. “Gears of War has always been at the front of Unreal Engine development … and we’re excited to continue
Gears 5: Hivebustersexpansion and continued live service content updates.
While
Gears 5 content updates will continue, the studio has confirmed that it is now shifting its resources to next-gen games projects, and Epic Games Unreal Engine 5 will be powering them.
Gears of War has always been at the front of Unreal Engine development – as a breakout 720p title for Xbox 360 through last year’s 120FPS multiplayer update for Xbox Series X|S – and we’re excited to continue that tradition by developing on UE5 for multiple new projects in the coming years, said the studio in a blog post explaining the decision.
Below is what their time with Cloud gaming on iOS and PC has been like so far:
Brad Bennett’s experience
I was initially pretty hyped to get into the Xbox Cloud gaming demo. I love the concept of game streaming because I’m an impulsive person that doesn’t like to wait for downloads, and cloud gaming solves that problem for me. As a result, I’ve become a pretty big fan of the concept over the past year.
However, since I’m also a pixel-peeping nerd, most current game streaming technology isn’t up to my standards of 4K excellence just yet. With that in mind, I played
Integrated Graphics
For our main tests, there are areas to consider and determine if these processors are at the very least, usable. This means:
Competition against Intel’s previous IGPs: Comet Lake (i9-10900K) or Broadwell (i7-5775C)
Competition against other integrated graphics: AMD Ryzen R4000
Competition against entry level graphics: GT 1030
When comparing these against entry level graphics, the usual consideration is for combined price comparison – what would be the equivalent CPU+GPU combo in price against the integrated graphics solution.
For example, the Core i5-11600K retails for $255. This is very expensive for a processor with integrated graphics – in the past integrated graphics solutions have targeted price points around $100-$160. That being said, AMD’s latest R4000 APUs cost $355, $262 and $170.
