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.”

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.
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.
That's the right attitude! Both Epic and Turn 10 seem to have upped their game immensely with their latest efforts.
seriously im sick of this guys mouth shut the f*ck up and make games deuche bag
