"Gaming far more engaging an activity to children than "idly watching cartoons all day""
Cliffy i would disagree with you now if we were still in the 90´s.
90´s had the best cartoons on tv on the air every day.

Back then when i was kid i use to watch cartoons and power rangers before anything in every morning.

With gaming you're actually getting some kind of intellectual stimulation, usually. Though outside time is still a good idea.

CrazyOrange5685d ago

totally agree with catroon thing in 90s

EvilBlackCat5685d ago

you know those boring useless propaganda brainwashing coming from a tv

gamingdroid5685d ago

So WTF happened to reading a book? Playing sports? Socializing?

I love gaming, but let's face it too much of anything is bad for you. Balance, like Ying and Yang!

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_279d 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

VenomUK279d ago (Edited 279d 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.

Cacabunga279d ago

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

Doc-Bobko279d ago

Best thing for this franchise is to be multiplatform.

Shane Kim279d ago

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

ocelot07279d 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_279d ago

Just like sony did Resistance .

franwex279d ago (Edited 279d 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.

UnbreakableAlex279d 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.

TriniOutsider279d ago

The PS3 had plenty of power to run.

DarXyde279d 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.

1Victor274d 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 😱

SockeyBoy279d ago

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

YoungKingDoran279d ago

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

Hereandthere279d ago

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

UnbreakableAlex279d ago

Unfortunately FF games get worse and worse...

jznrpg279d ago (Edited 279d ago )

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

gold_drake278d ago (Edited 278d ago )

trade?
girl. lets wait and see.

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