Mark Rein: "[Shadow Complex] is bigger than Gears!"

OXCGN writes:

"In a sprawling, jovial interview with Mark Rein, Vice President of Epic Games, we got talking about the high overall quality of the titles on show at E3 2009. Eventually we discussed Shadow Complex and what the future holds for XBLA, including the quality and value of downloadable games across all platforms.

The comparison to Gears should not be an afterthought..."

Click agree or disagree and let the games begin! :P

Godem5381d ago

you sir, have been disagreed

cornfedgamer5381d ago

He's jokingly saying that the game is longer than Gears. Obviously not a bigger deal.

But in that vein it is a big deal to resurrect the classic action platformer we all grew up with and give it environmental depth. I hope we see more games like this.

And his comments about "The rising tide has raised all the boats," seems to fall in line with my theory that as the technology in AAA games advances it has trickled down to make better games at lower price points.

I'm not a huge fan of Gears Of War myself, bit it doesn't stop me admiring the effort and work that goes into it, especially from Cliff Bleszinski. The two (Mark) often class with comments and views, so it would be interesting to hear Cliff's views on the industry at this time.

Double Toasted5381d ago

this guy gets on my nerves sometimes, but he is an important part of Epic, so I'll tolerate him.

I need to find that interview were he didn't know Gears came to the PC, that was funny as sh!t...

XboxOZ3605381d ago (Edited 5381d ago )

I'd agree to that as well, I've heard him say an official NO to gears of war 2, or that 'no- Unreal Tournament will not be able to be played on the 360', or other such 'funny' stuff. Whereas Cliff tells it like it is, ansd has been pulled in line at times for doing so.

Asked him if there was more gears on the way last November while he was here (CB) and he said, yes, most certainly, there's loads of stuff, I just can't say what at the moment etc".

So who would you believe . . . sorry, but I'd chose Cliff any day.

Gears is one of the shortest sp available so no surprise here ...

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756118d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00117d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic117d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica117d ago (Edited 117d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing118d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic117d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos118d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin118d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris118d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine118d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz118d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin122d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack122d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69122d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07122d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn122d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid122d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog122d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992122d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
