If CliffyB wants an alien invasion... then so be it! - Image 1We've heard Jeff Morris talk about a sequel to Gears of War. But what about the mastermind behind the game himself, Cliff Bleszinski? He did create the game after all, as the game's designer. So what are his thoughts on designing a second game? Here's an excerpt from a recent IGN interview about it:

IGN: Do you think we can expect a second Gears of War in 2008?

CliffyB: I don't know. Talk to Mark Rein (Vice President of Epic Games). [...]


I never said there would be a second Gears of War, man! (Laughter.) Let me re-phrase it for you. There have been games in the industry that have been complete failures, and since Gears is not one of those, logically you can extrapolate that since it's done so well, a sequel seems pretty smart.

IGN: But what I'm really getting at is will it be in 2008? I mean, we get Gears of War in 2006, Halo 3 in 2007, and Gears of War 2 in 2008. Works perfectly.

CliffyB: I don't know, anything can happen. Aliens could attack our city.

God. That means if aliens could attack our city, then a GoW2 is possible. I'm so wishing now that aliens would attack out city [sticks out "Live Long and Prosper" hand signal to the skies]. Of course, it's up to you, whatever you'd read into his statement. That's just a minor excerpt from a very extensive interview in IGN.

 » This game will be often Imitated, but never equaled

With the amount this game has sold around the world (Multi millions) I cant see it not happening,this game has set the 3rd person shooter standard for the next gen consoles.

Expect to see many imitations in the following months.
