1UP: Cliff Bleszinski on Gears of War 3's Beta, Servers, and More

Cliff Bleszinski has used phrases such as "the Tony Stark of videogames" and "Dude Huge" to describe himself at various times during his career at Epic. Yet underneath that polished, manufactured persona is a simple guy who loves videogames.

During a recent trip to Epic Studios, !UP had the opportunity to talk with Bleszinski; and he explained why his coworkers called Gears of War 2 a beta for Gears of War 3, how Epic kept a close watch on what fans want, and answered some community questions.

Damn, beta still not dated it seems.
And it sucks that they're using the shotty from Gears 2. I hate it.

Hopefully that'll clear up most of the lag. Honestly, that's one of the only things that kept me from going back to Gears 2 multiplayer.

its one of those things that i see once every 3 matches. But aside from that the game still good to play. just a bit still broken IMO

killedinaction94974d ago

Did you not see the new double barrel shotty?
it`s mean as hell lol
I agree it wasn`t great at first but definitely got better after the updates.

seinfan4974d ago (Edited 4974d ago )

It's kind of risky, though. From what I've read on IGN's preview, you have to be in there really close to get the job done, else you're going to get owned. It's more of a caught-you-not-looking weapon.

I stopped paying for Live as i didn't see hardly any progression in the service where it mattered most, the gameplay experience while playing. Netflix, ESPN, Facebook, Hulu and so on doesn't make my gaming anymore fun if there's lag.

Microsoft should be offering more games with dedicated servers. Hopefully this is a sign of good things ahead.

if they have dedicated servers and cut price on the 360 next holiday i might jump in

I currently play Gears 3 often, especially after the 60 FPS Boost. Gears of War is my favorite gaming franchise, and the Locusts are the coolest faction in history. Gears Judgment will always be a disgrace for not having the Locust in VS multiplayer.

AuraAbjure336d ago (Edited 336d ago )

GoW 3 and Judgement were the last installments before the series went woke and soulless. I'm level 50 in GoW 3 and LOVE it's multiplayer to death. It's just so crispy.

My first thought. Deserved to be somewhere in there.

Vits495d ago (Edited 495d ago )

That is the most "normie" list that I ever saw. This does make some sense given the console in question, but still.

Tacoboto494d ago

Sure, the list itself sucks. But that click-saver table-of-contents, every list should have that.

BrainSyphoned494d ago

Might as well list it as the One's top twenty as well since all it had for games was backward compatibility.
