Joystiq: "During E3, we managed to distract Cliff Bleszinski, design director for Epic Games and the face of Gears of War, long enough for an interview. Despite our intense interrogation, he remained a good sport throughout and offered us candid answers."

During a recent Game Rant interview, Gears of War creator CliffyB comments on Xbox-exclusive games possibly adopting multiplatform models.
Yea, I remember seeing him and his Lamborghini at one point in history. Lol, I think that kind of gives it away.
Bunch of clowns down voting without any explanation of how exactly he is getting money off Gears. You think Notch still gets Minecraft money too?
Sometimes I don't get what he says half the times. He could of put gears on the playstation from the start but he's fanboyness for xbox got in the way
I imagine this is exactly how fanboys feel how this went down. Microsoft paid for all the development and took all the risk off Epic games for a new IP.
It has nothing to do with anyone being a fanboy. Well other than yourself who oversimplified this entire franchises history.
I agree Notellin, however, once he was in bed with MS he did become pretty 'anti Sony' ans was such a shill for MS.
I thought it was said cliffs shopped it around hence rumors of a ps3 demo being out there. If ms took on all the cost, why is there a ps3 demo?
Not true at all.
Microsoft had to buy the ip because the contract ran out on keeping it exclusive.
Microsoft took no risk, they just marketed the game and payed for a contract.
Not hard to find out.
No, Epic signed a development and publishing contract with Xbox for Gears of War. After Judgement Microsoft still had the Gears of War publishing rights. Epic then sold the Gears of War IP to Microsoft in 2014. Cliffy B never owned Gears of War, he was just a lead designer of the series.
Ya I don't know what people are saying about CliffyB making money of Gears sales nowadays. He was never the owner and Epic no longer owns it either.
“He could of put gears on the playstation from the start but he's fanboyness for xbox got in the way”
It has nothing to do with fondness for the Xbox platform. Microsoft paid for exclusivity.
Well when you look at the sales perspective of ps5. It has a big audience selling over a 2 to 1 ratio. It makes money sense.
Fanboy era was at its prime during the ps3-360 generation. It’s not as toxic as it once was, thankfully. People grow out of it eventually. I have my preference just as the next person. That being said it’s coming to be more about expanding availability instead of standing behind a brand. Much more Microsoft than Sony. But Sony will probably move up its time of PC release for increase revenue.
We will see, it’s just speculation.
CliffyB is like David Jaffe at this point, always quick with the opinions but haven’t made a successful game in over a decade at this point. Do any of us really care what they think about anything? I certainly don’t.
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
Cliff B is so cool and GeOW3 is gonna be amazing.
is easily one of my favorite console games.
But he is the douchist developer I have ever seen. He just comes across as arogent and... well a douche. I know many people enjoy Gears but I didn't enjoy the game nor did I think it had very inspired or well designed levels. One thing you learn while in my programming progam at college is that not everyone is going to like your game even if its well programed or designed so DO NOT act like your game is better than everyone elses. Have confidence in your game but dont be a douche about it. \n I mean \rant.
