Naturally, texture filtering, motion blur, and an option to turn on an in-game performance graph are available as well, all of which add credence to The Coalition’s previous announcement thatGears of War 4will be extremely configurable on PC, thus enhancing the experience of the title’sgraphical improvements.
While some may consider all of these configuration choices forGears of War 4’s PC version to be overkill, it’s safe to say that simply giving players on the platform the option to manipulate the visuals will undoubtedly go a long way in pleasing them.

Moreover, with the original trilogy’s protagonist Marcus Fenix returning to fight side-by-side with his son J.D., the story ought to explore some interesting father and son dynamics while also touching on both the plot’s past and present to deliver an enriching narrative.
Taking all of this into consideration, it’s no wonder whyGears of War 4is being thought of by many as one ofthe most anticipated video games of 2016.
