NowGamer: The man formerly known as DudeHuge has explained that Epic learned lessons from Gears 2, meaning combat in Gears 3 will be more intimate...
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.
"Too Linear". Doesn't necessarily make it crap. Anyway cannot wait for the next build of the UDK!
I disagree Cliff.
Ya know I think I'm starting to see a pattern here.
I hope I'm wrong, I seems like he's not hyping Gears 3 but bashing Gears 2.
Gears 2 was a great game even with it's flaws.
Which BTW I think were blown WAAAAY out of proportion.
Yes Gears 1 was a great game too but too many folks look at it through rose colored glasses.
You know cliff...that
Is not the problem with geow2
The REAL problem is.......THE ONLINE SUCKED SOOO BAD
You can make 5 glitches by just moving around....and don't get me started at host advantage
Here is a little easy solution for this problem is release a beta for geow3 I mean how hard is that???
