Gears of War Ultimate Edition, the upcoming remake of the original title in the third-person shooter series, has just received not one but two different gameplay videos, as well as a suite of comparison screenshots that feature the upcoming Xbox One version and the original Xbox 360 edition.

Gears of War started out life many years ago on the Xbox 360, and developer Epic Games has kept on releasing different installments over the years, before ultimately selling the rights to the series to Microsoft.

The large corporation then offered its The Coalition studio the chance to work on a Gears of War 4 for the Xbox One, but first, the team wanted to stretch its legs on the new console by releasing a Gears of War Ultimate Edition.

New videos and screenshots show off major enhancements

The remake of the original shooter is nearing its late August release date, and now quite a lot of new goodies are available, via AGB.

As you can see below, there are not one but two different gameplay videos showcasing different sections of the game. In the gallery, you can also find a suite of comparison screenshots between the upcoming Xbox One Ultimate edition and the original Xbox 360 version.

Besides remastering the textures, it's clear that The Coalition has improved the character models, the objects in the world, as well as the lighting system for added realism and a bit more color.

All sorts of improvements are included

Besides the enhancements seen in the videos and screenshots below, Gears of War Ultimate Edition also comes with gameplay refinements so that the title behaves closer to the Gears of War 2 or 3 installments.

The multiplayer mode also comes with the Team Deathmatch bonus mode, as well as plenty of other gameplay improvements.

Those who buy Gears of War Ultimate edition until the end of the year also get Gears of War 1, 2, 3, and Judgment for free via the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility program.
