The Xbox 360 will be over five years old by the time Epic's Gears of War 3 hits stores in April 2011, but that doesn't mean the game won't be doing things that seemed impossible back when the first Gears of War shipped.
"We actually went back - it was a funny thing, a side anecdote - I haven't told anybody all this yet this week and I'm not lying. Our chief engine architect right now Dan Vogel basically took a Gears test level, put it in the Gears 3 code base, and it ran at 500 frames per second," Bleszinski told VideoGamer.com. "The point was we'd optimised everything from the way the VSP was running to the static meshes to the lighting to the skeletal meshes that you're basically squeezing water from a stone and solving this puzzle box on a console."
Cliff Bleszinski shares thoughts on Gears of War’s PlayStation debut, E-Day, and Microsoft’s Game Pass strategy.
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).
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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 😱
I think Cliff has been humbled in recent times and seems alot better than in the past
As an xbox only player, im happy that final fantasy is not exclusive to sony anymore. nice trade.
I wouldn’t hold your breath as FF16 didn’t sell at all on Xbox. Maybe one more chance if that
trade?
girl. lets wait and see.
square goes where they get the most money from. be it exclusivity or not.
Ayi Sanchez: "Old work. I did this 10 years ago now as part of a material test for a remaster of Gears of War 2 that never happened."
Weird, in mean they had no studios to make anything really new so there's a part of me thats kinda glad they scrapped it. If they released this back then it would of gotten ridiculed for remakes and remastering stuff. Now they have new and interesting games so the collection is harmless.
Geez, Xbox, something like that I would’ve bought Day 1. Great business decisions over there.
10 years ago it wasn’t such a big deal. The games were only a few years old by that point
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition came out in 2015 (essentially 10 years ago), having a follow-up to that on the then next-gen console would’ve absolutely been welcomed, in my book.
I can only assume the the Gears of War Remaster flopped so they decided to scrap the other remakes?
Seems short sighted to me as I really enjoyed the 1st remaster. Regardless, I'll snap up some remakes to play on my PS5.
I was impressed with the live demo.
on pc yes may be, on any console not possible. Gears looks pretty good even by today's standard. I am sure they have optimized there code and everything but how many current games run at 60 fps let alone 500 fps. Serious bs.
never believe fanboy's
thought that was a great interview.
This was not run on an Xbox 360, this was on a dev PC
