It’s a new month so we always knew it was only going to be a matter of days before the latest monthly maps arrived in Gears of War 4...and today they have!
The Coalition have been good to its loyal fanbase with Gears of War 4, bringing heaps of new content to the game since launch and providing two new maps each month to expand the experience along the way. This month is no different.
A new month is here and that means a new update for Gears of War 4. This month sees the Easter celebrations make an arrival too, with a number of new festive additions for Gears fans everywhere. But April isn’t just about a few colourful skins – although they are included, instead we see some major changes that are sure to make for a nicer experience for everyone – Here’s what you can expect to find in the update.
We’re just about halfway through the month, so as with those previous to it, it was to be expected that we’d see new maps for Gears of War 4...and as if by magic, today marks the arrival of those new maps.
You’d be forgiven for thinking this is some kind of joke, after all, the only romance you’ll find in Gears of War 4 is likely to come from the beloved sound of our trusty lancer...as the blade revs up to slice through the hordes of enemies bounding down on JD Fenix and crew. But this is no joke and it seems the guys over at The Coalition want to share the love this Valentine’s Day, with an entire week of themed content fit for the occasion.
Gears of War 4 may have been released a few months back but that doesn’t mean the content will be drying up any time soon, and today marks another occasion - one in which new content hits Gears of War 4.
Many will find themselves happy with their current Xbox One, but there were certainly plenty of people out there who were excited at the prospect of a new console when Microsoft announced the Xbox One S back at E3 2016. Sure, they also announced the hotly anticipated Project Scorpio – but no-one really knows what that is. The Xbox One S on the other hand was a new and improved console that would be available this year. My initial response to a new machine so soon into the cycle was of surprise and uncertainty on whether it was worth upgrading or not, but Microsoft’s more recent announcement of the limited edition Gears of War Xbox One S that would be releasing alongside the game of the same name was certainly more than enough persuasion to ensure I coughed up for the upgrade. But just how good is Microsoft’s sleek new Limited Edition Xbox?
Back at E3 2015, I was sat down for Microsoft’s briefing, waiting in anticipation to see which exciting new games I would be spending the next year emptying my wallet for. So when Phil Spencer got to the stage to announce something new and unique for console users, we had no idea the next thing we would see light up the show would be the Xbox One Elite Controller. With an elegant and sleek look alongside customisable features it immediately become an in demand product. So when E3 2016 rolled around, the announcement of an improved look to coincide with the release of one of the greatest franchises in Xbox history blew it out the park for me.
So how good is the Gears of War Elite Controller?
