Cliff Bleszinski: “First Gears Of War Was A Perfect Storm For Failure”

Gears of War is the third best selling franchise on the Xbox 360. However, Gears lead designer Cliff Bleszinski said that if you read what the first Gears of War looked like on paper, you’d see it was a perfect storm for failure.

I wonder how long it will take for people to miss interpret his words and start flaming.

SmokexFFx4924d ago

Thinking the exact same thing.

Igneel4924d ago

Doesnt take long That's all they do on N4G. half the people here dont even read articles they just talk about the headline.

T9X694924d ago (Edited 4924d ago )

@Igneel - Troll Police just did that exact thing in the "Halo War is going Dark" article. Let's see if he proves his ignorance once again.

Red_Orange_Juice4924d ago

igneel, but thats what n4g is about isnt it?

Second Gears Of War Multiplayer Was A Failure.

OneSneakyMofo one of the trolls that never read articles

Cevapi884924d ago

wait, why would you blame people on this site rather than the damn writer who wrote this article...they purposely misinterpreted Cliff's quote in order to get hits...if anyone is to blame its the flamebaiting site/writer

Karum4923d ago

I think that is true of most publications though.

Headlines are designed to draw you in, most publications will sensationalise a headline...that's how they attract attention. Their version of a big neon sign saying HEY THIS IT HOT COME READ ME!!!

And to be fair to the writer, Cliff Blezenski is actually quoted as saying “Looking back now, if you look at the first game on paper, it’s the perfect storm for failure"

I don't see anything wrong with using a quote from the interview as a headline..Cliff actually said that so why not use what he said as a hard hitting headline?

I do get your point though. there are too many who are doing this and are being somewhat dishonest with what the headline says but as long as it is actually related tot he content of the article, being sensationalist is perfectly ok in my book...this article being an example of that.

Happens every time something comes out of Cliff's mouth.

R_aVe_N4924d ago

Well working on using intelligent remarks would help with that. Bad wording just fuels fanboys even more. Most fanboys will not even get paste the title.

soundslike4924d ago

mmmm paste.

gears 2 was fun.

FACTUAL evidence4924d ago

I love the artwork in gears, but I never liked the stiff gameplay. I'm happy it's a well loved IP. The game has potential.

likedamaster4924d ago

Potential? lol

Gears of War = Instant Classic

RememberThe3574924d ago

I agree.

I didn't like Gears 2 very much, but Gears 1 is one of my all time favorite games.

Theonik4923d ago

Pity it didn't fail. If it had failed we wouldn't have to put up with brown filter and cover mechanics for the majority of 3PS this gen.

awiseman4923d ago

Not long why do you think the news is in the op 10? Only Xbox fails or ps3 wins articles make it thais far. And ps3 fanboys click on this thinking its an article about Gears sucking.

Trolls incoming in 3...2...1...

Dylantalon14924d ago (Edited 4924d ago )

you guys are right though,because people will misunderstand what he is saying. we all know that the first gears of war was amazing because it didnt suffer from any glitches, slowdowns or lag issues while they literally had those written down on paper for the game to do.

hoops4924d ago

...And one of the biggest trolls above ^^ comes a calling...

sp1deynut4924d ago

...because nobody should have to read more than 1 of your ignorant, fanboy garbage posts, in any given comment section.

RememberThe3574924d ago

Well... Thats the point of the bubble system. At least one person is happy with it.

No Way4924d ago (Edited 4923d ago )

True. But, it doesn't work anyway, regardless.
If they have one bubble they just make another account.
Therefor, now that person with the one bubble.. now has six bubbles.
Then ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. And, then so on, and so forth.
It's hard telling how many of these accounts belong to one sad individual..

We'll never, never!, ever stop hearing these annoying fanboy posts.

pixelsword4924d ago (Edited 4924d ago )

On paper it may have looked like a failure,

onscreen it was the first real next-gen game, period.

I will never forget that; Gears blew me away.

Like he said, there's no gene for the human spirit, that game had a lot of that.

STICKzophrenic4923d ago

I just played Gears of War campaign again and the game still blows me away.

I've beat the campaign at least a dozen times and I still think it's a great experience.

8thnightvolley4924d ago

agreed most great things are always a result of accidents... gears is a great IP that is different from every game out there.. and it hs a wicked multiplayer if u are going to over look the occasional lag which is somewhat reduced now.. and thnks for the new dedicated servers AMEN! in gears 3...

PS anyone on xboxlive wants to go on some gears. here is my gametag.. add me up.. SENSEI CHRONIC. heading there now.. to kill some noobs

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756121d 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.

Blad3runner00121d 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?

FinalFantasyFanatic121d 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.

TheEroica121d ago (Edited 121d 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!

RaidenBlack122d ago

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

phoenixwing122d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic121d 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.

Profchaos122d 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__Merrin122d 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_vulgaris122d ago

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

Concertoine121d 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.

Brazz122d 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."

Wyesvin126d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack126d ago

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

phoenixwing125d ago (Edited 125d 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.

CrimsonWing69126d 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*.

ocelot07126d 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_corn126d ago

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

Juiceid126d ago

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

raWfodog126d ago

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

franwex126d ago (Edited 126d 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.

neutralgamer1992126d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
