Gears Of War Ultimate Edition "Mad World" Launch Trailer Released

A trailer which sent this writer straight back to 2006 has been released in anticipation of Gears of War Ultimate Edition's launch next week.

Microsoft released the 81 second trailer in promotion of the "regeared" Gears of War game, featuring lots of gun shots, explosions, and the game's famous chainsaws, but none of their sound effects. Instead, the trailer features Gary Jules' "Mad World," song.

Those of us who remember the original marketing campaign for Gears of War in 2006 will remember watching Marcus Fenix in peril as "Mad World," played in the background. Rather than stumble into shelter and finding a Corpser, like he did in the original trailer, Marcus teams up with Dom, Baird, Cole, and other CoG members to take on a horde of Locust in the new Gears of War Ultimate Edition launch trailer.

Gears of War Ultimate Edition comes out on Xbox One, allowing Gears fans to play the entire Gears of War franchise on their new generation console, August 25, 2015.
