Gears of War 3 ships this September and will no doubt be one of the hot sellers of the fall/holiday period. As any developer would tell you, however, working on the same property for years can be tiring. It's one of the primary reasons Bungie sought out its independence from Microsoft - to escape from Halo. Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski would very much like to create a new type of game too, if he can get the chance.
Cliff Bleszinski shares thoughts on Gears of War’s PlayStation debut, E-Day, and Microsoft’s Game Pass strategy.
The project will purportedly launch in November 2026 and is the result of Disney's $1.5 billion collaboration with Epic.
The Walt Disney Company's new CEO, Josh D'Amaro, is a big fan of video games, and one former Disney executive believes D'Amaro would be smart to do even more in gaming going forward. This could include a buyout of a gaming company like Epic Games.
In an interview with CNBC, Kevin Mayer--a former Disney and TikTok executive who now runs Candle Media--said D'Amaro will need to take "bold steps" to help Disney make more money and grow its stock price. One part of this could be doing more in gaming, he said.
Apparently nobody remembers the absolute shitshow that happened when EA brought the Havok engine which was used as the default engine of the 6th generation like UE is used today.
You've got it wrong, EA bought Renderware not Havok. Havok was bought by Intel in 2007 and then Microsoft in 2015
Nor was it ever a widely used or considered, game engine, Renderware was. It was and still is a physics/material simulation plugin for the actual game engines.
Yeah you're right i was thinking of Renderware. But point still stands Renderware was used literally everywhere from games like GTA 3,VC,SA to Sonic games and Tony hawk it was really the default industry wide engine that UE is today.
If Disney takes over Epic and UE we could face a situation where they change the terms of use for other game devs big and small. They could remove the licensing agreements currently in place and impose a payment per download model like Unity did which could cripple the industry.
Well I can imagine DIsney with their transgender Snowwhite and black cinderally and mermaid and other garbage. Imagine video games lmao!!!
Dumbass cant even spell Cinderella but apparently he's upset by the 1997 Cinderella classic starring Brandy. Almost 20 year old movie.
Just say you dont like black people man, we all know it.
I really hope this doesn’t happen. They ruin everything that they buy. Terrible company
Trolling. Hope Disney take the Maval characters like Spider-Man and Wolverine away from Sony and make it themselves that would me laugh so hard.
Hope its good. BulletStorm was pretty fun at first but it just got boring after a while.
Of course he does, he's a passionate developer. I think all dev's crave creation. I wonder when we will get to hear of a new game from Epic? Post Gears 3 I guess, man I can't wait for Gears.
wonder if he will go kinect since he seems to be soooo fond of it over other motion control systems :) less talking more showing cliffy
which will be over in september no one is stopping epic from signing another exclusive deal but by the time next epic game comes out made by these gears studio both ps3 and xbox360 will have a install base of over 70 million
so to do a exclusive and let go of such a big install base just won't make business sense.
so here is hoping its something fresh and on all the consoles including wii-u the more people who get to play it the better it is for the devs and that means their future projects will have bigger budgets to do even more awesome games
I am not sure what they should work on next whatever it is i am interested
I hope it's nothing like Bulletstorm, that was the worst game I've played in 2011 so far and I've played and passed a quite a few games this year....although, I've mostly played great games this year. In fact, every game was at least 8.5/10 except for Bulletstorm which was kinda crap.
I played and passed:
Dead Space 2
Killzone 3
Crysis 2 (360)
L.A. Noire
Infamous 2
Portal 2
Assassins Creed Brotherhood
MK (haven't passed)
Bulletstorm (crap)
