Bleszinski: "I'll never make another disc-based game"

Ex-Epic design chief Cliff Bleszinski has had it with disc-based games.

In a new interview with Gamasutra, the former Gears of War designer said he wanted to make a PC game in the modern online environment that allows creators to have closer relationships with their players.

No cares cliffy b, go be conceited in some other industry.

Fishy Fingers4465d ago

It's a small segment ripped from a proper interview. Cliffy doesn't ask to be interviewed just some some other site can ride on it with attention grabbing quotes.

die_fiend4465d ago

You're telling me the catastrophic gears of war 2 multiplayer had nothing to so with him? Seems like your opinions are a load of BS son!

Gears 1 had a decent single player but the franchise grew stale for a reason - it lacks charm and appeals to muscle heads like you! Why are you defending the indefensible? He made one good game in his entire career...

Deep-throat4465d ago

die_fiend,

That's your opinion, I enjoyed Gears games (SPs and MPs).

They are great and original TPS games.

die_fiend4465d ago

Isn't Gears of War currently dying a horrible death Cliffy? So much that Epic sold it so that they don't get asked to make more games? I think it's for the best that you don't make anything else macho man

Fishy Fingers4465d ago

Yep helped shape one of the biggest exclusive franchises of last generation which went downhill after he stopped working on it.... Time to quit the industry.

Do you have genuine opinions or just run with the masses?

Volkama4465d ago

Why? I don't think his name has been attached to a bad game yet, and that's surely more important then how he comes across in an interview...

4ShotKing4465d ago

I hope Cliffy B is working on an Arena Shooter, it's time for that genre to be revived, can't think of anyone better to revive it.

4ShotKing4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

Dafuq why are people disagreeing... Cliffy B was a huge influence on Unreal Touranment and created Gears of War... He may be a giant douche, but he's a damn talented game designer and there's a serious drought of Arena shooters.

CaptainPunch4465d ago

It's N4G, what do you expect.

Skate-AK4465d ago

Gears was probably their first Cliffy game.

pompombrum4465d ago

Felt the same way for a while. I'm tired of all these modern day orientated shooters which all are so similar. We need the revival of the Quakes and UTs.. bring back that fast paced gameplay with creative weapons that actually take skill to utilize correctly.

Volkama4465d ago

I find half the battle in these modern FPS games is actually seeing your opponent.

Drop the camouflage and give me brightly coloured enemies again so that I can focus on movement and gunplay, rather than squinting to see if that object is a person or not.

Volkama4465d ago

I pinned my arena revival hopes on Titanfall, and so far it's just not that game. Not because the features (bots, AI, Parkour, Mechs), but because the level design.

Now I'm looking to see what Clifford does next.

Honest_gamer4465d ago

Anyone even care what this guy has to say any more :S

Mikelarry4465d ago

So as

1) your game excite and intrigues
2) you don't over charge

then i am cool

CaptainPunch4465d ago

Just like you Sony fanboys are.

Ares84HU4465d ago

And this, ladies and gentleman is how you loose your bubbles.

Gears Of War Creator Is "Thrilled" That The Franchise Isn't Xbox Exclusive Anymore

Gears of War creator Cliff 'CliffyB' Bleszinski is "thrilled" more people will be able to experience the original game when it arrives on PlayStation.

Gears of War: Reloaded is set to be released later this month, on 26th August, across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It's a revamped edition of the original Gears of War, which first debuted on Xbox almost 20 years ago (yes, it has really been that long).

Ouch. Since when do we consider Cliffy B the "co-creator" of Gears?

maximusprime_264d ago

Good spot, title corrected. I copied title from Gamespot because I couldn't fit or amend Eurogamer's long title..

Yes Cliffy B is the creator

VenomUK264d ago (Edited 264d ago )

He’s changing his tune. When Microsoft bought the Gears of War franchise from Epic Games Cliff Blezinski gloatingly wrote: ‘I suppose this puts the nail in the coffin of the question “Will Gears ever come to PlayStation?”’

Maybe he’s in line for all the royalties that will come from the PS5 remaster.

Cacabunga264d ago

I haven’t seen this face for an eternity..

Doc-Bobko264d ago

Best thing for this franchise is to be multiplatform.

Shane Kim264d ago

So why did you do it exclusive in the first place?

ocelot07264d ago

Microsoft offered a lot of money is my guess. I remember they actually had a PS3 build up and running (not great mind you). Not sure if they planned on releasing Gears 2 and future installments at that point. My guess yes but Microsoft made a deal to make it exclusive and then out right buying the IP.

Reaper22_264d ago

Just like sony did Resistance .

franwex264d ago (Edited 264d ago )

Not to mention that it was the game that convinced Microsoft to use 512MB instead of 256 of RAM when they showed them the build difference. Microsoft was so impressed that they HAD to have it.

UnbreakableAlex264d ago

Back in the day Gears was graphically top notch and Playstation didn't have the power to run it. Nowdays the hardware is pretty equal.

TriniOutsider264d ago

The PS3 had plenty of power to run.

DarXyde263d ago

PS3 was pretty capable hardware and it had a better (albeit difficult) CPU than the Xbox 360, though Xbox 360 had a better GPU. It was generally a wash between the two. The RAM difference came down to configuration (unified on X360 + 10MB EDRAM, split RAM pools on PS3).

Don't know what you're going on about.

1Victor259d ago

@breakablealex: “ Back in the day Gears was graphically top notch and Playstation didn't have the power to run it.”
Is that why PS3 low/mid gen games was looking far better than Xbox 360? Is that why uncharted beat gears at the game of the year awards and the other 2 ether won or was nominated while gears was left at the lock doors 😱

.
“ Nowdays the hardware is pretty equal.“
😩🤦🏿
I see the obscured decease is spreading 😱

SockeyBoy264d ago

There are two developers I can't stand, this dude and Phil Fish

YoungKingDoran264d ago

I think Cliff has been humbled in recent times and seems alot better than in the past

Hereandthere264d ago

As an xbox only player, im happy that final fantasy is not exclusive to sony anymore. nice trade.

UnbreakableAlex264d ago

Unfortunately FF games get worse and worse...

jznrpg264d ago (Edited 264d ago )

I wouldn’t hold your breath as FF16 didn’t sell at all on Xbox. Maybe one more chance if that

gold_drake263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

trade?
girl. lets wait and see.

square goes where they get the most money from. be it exclusivity or not.
