BulletStorm PS3 Interview: Me and CliffyB

Playstation Blog writes:
"Cliff Bleszinski is a not an easy man to find. When he’s not Tweeting away, he’s cooped up in Epic Games‘ Raleigh, NC-based studio working on his latest ultra-violent fascination.

This time that fascination is BulletStorm, an off-the-wall shooter spectacle that will grace the PS3 sometime in 2011. Cliff himself is a big fan of PS3 titles like Heavy Rain and the God of War series, and in our one-on-one interview for the PlayStation.Blog, he expressed excitement that BulletStorm will strut its stuff in front of PS3 players."

He's a game designer for ONE series. WHY does Cliffy B have to be some kind of international face for the whole of Epic?

I'd rather hear someone real at Epic like Tim Sweeny or Mark Rein or some PCF staff talking about him.

Wait, do most you guys even KNOW those names? Tsk.

TheHater5863d ago

I would much rather have them interview someone at People Can Fly because they are the ones developing the game. Why is Cliffy B getting credit for a new IP that he isn't creating. If I was working at PCF, I would be pissed that this guy is getting all the attention for a game he is not creating.

palaeomerus5863d ago

I think a lot of the direct People Can Fly press involvement got stymied by the Iceland Volcano eruption that grounded a lot of transAtlantic flights.

Shaman5863d ago

Wasnt CliffyB designer for Unreal Tournament also?That and Gears...

I think why he answers the interviews is because he is closest to the game itself.He tries it 3 times a week and tells what to change or add.Even though i agree,it would be cool to see Tim or Rein on interviews,so they can also tell us a bit more about new tech and improvements in UE3,it looks quite good now.

BeaArthur5863d ago

I think it's always Cliffy B because he is "the face" of Epic. I mean like you said we only really know of Cliffy B so it makes sense that they march him out there every time they want to talk about a game because people recognize him. With that being said Cliffy B needs to spend less time worrying about Bulletstorm and more time worrying about Gears 3's multiplayer.

Double Toasted5863d ago

Don't be lazy "chicken" do some research. Cliff has paid his dues...don't be such a hater, lol.

Chubear5863d ago

lol, Epic is making sure people KNOW the game's not being developed by Epic themselves so if it doesn't do well people can say "NO NO NO, it was People can Fly game!!" lol

TheHater5863d ago

EPIC is the best yo. First it was Unreal, then Unreal tournament, then Gears of War, and now Bulletstorm.

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_285d 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

VenomUK285d ago (Edited 285d 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.

Cacabunga285d ago

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

Doc-Bobko285d ago

Best thing for this franchise is to be multiplatform.

Shane Kim285d ago

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

ocelot07285d 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_285d ago

Just like sony did Resistance .

franwex285d ago (Edited 285d 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.

UnbreakableAlex285d 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.

TriniOutsider285d ago

The PS3 had plenty of power to run.

DarXyde284d 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.

1Victor280d 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 😱

SockeyBoy285d ago

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

YoungKingDoran285d ago

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

Hereandthere285d ago

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

UnbreakableAlex285d ago

Unfortunately FF games get worse and worse...

jznrpg285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

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

gold_drake284d ago (Edited 284d ago )

trade?
girl. lets wait and see.

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