I had no clue that song existed, let alone that it played during Gears of War's fucking credits and now I'm more tempted than ever to play them all simply because of that XD

These very quickly have become among my favorite co-op experiences, they're a little crusty in areas but you get into a rhythm with it (Judgement is weird but I like it). Gears 2 and 3 are still locked to 360 hell, but are backcompat with Xbox One (and has enhancements for Xbox One X/Series X|S; runs at 4k60 over there!)

The performance of splitscreen co-op on a One S is all over the place in 1, 2 is mostly smooth but the final act chugs, and 3 is very smooth until the final act as well where it has the worst performance across the 4 I've played lol.

Afaik performance is mostly fine in singleplayer/1 per console (online/lan co-op), but they very obviously optimized around aggressive off-camera culling (I could faintly see stuff unrender at the edge of my screen in Judgement in particular lol)
