Bleszinski on Gears of War: ‘We can do better’

Epic Games and Microsoft Studio’s Gears of War 3 launched last month to universal critical acclaim and staggering commercial success. It’s a videogame that’s pushed boundaries for the developer, publisher and the industry as a whole, showing that blockbuster productions can become the smash hits that so many titles fail to achieve, as long as the community rallies behind them. Breaking new ground in terms of scale, audience and revenue was never going to be enough however, as Lead Designer Cliff Bleszinski attests: “we can always do better.”

I hope they've remastered all the maps from the previous two games...all of them. If they did, I doubt I'd take the disc out of my 360. I seen that we will be getting a new BloodDrive map sooner or later and it's destined to be a fan favorite like the old one.

SantistaUSA4590d ago

Agreed, I can't seem to put this game down, just too much fun, I'm getting my money's worth on this, now I'm gonna go ahead and buy the season pass.

That's the right attitude! Both Epic and Turn 10 seem to have upped their game immensely with their latest efforts.

Im sure he would love it. More money for him.

OtterX50d ago

Yea, I remember seeing him and his Lamborghini at one point in history. Lol, I think that kind of gives it away.

rippermcrip50d ago

Doubtful he gets any residuals from anything Gears related.

rippermcrip50d ago

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?

jznrpg49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Depends on the contract. Some contracts have residuals some don’t

Whitey2k50d ago

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

Notellin50d ago

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.

LoveSpuds50d ago

I agree Notellin, however, once he was in bed with MS he did become pretty 'anti Sony' ans was such a shill for MS.

Hofstaderman50d ago

This. And Sony also does this with titles these days.

shinoff218350d ago

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?

Rude-ro50d ago

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.

Your the the fanboy

Sciurus_vulgaris50d ago

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.

rippermcrip50d ago

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.

Psychonaut8550d ago

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.

shinoff218350d ago

I never liked the guy tbh but he's got more relevance in gaming then we do.

Skuletor50d ago

CliffyB, I haven't heard that name since Lawbreakers flopped.
