Cliffy BleszinskiOver at Evil Avatar, they have an interview with Cliff "Cliffy B" Bleszinski about how things are going two months after the birth of his baby, Gears of War. If you're new to this, you should know he's the head designer of Epic Games, so he's the lead designer of Gears of War.

The interview is all good stuff and happy thoughts, of course. Cliffy B says things like, "Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive at both a critical and commercial level." In other words, he says that critics and the media loved the game and everybody bought a copy of the game. In other words, the interview is a lot of stuff you already knew. It's a very short interview, so here are the highlights of each of his answers:
  • Cliffy B is impressed at how good we've become at sticking grenades to each other.
  • He's surprised how few of us comment about the lack of loading scenes. [Maybe it's because it's so seamless and immersive we don't notice it?]
  • He plays both Ranked and Player matches.
  • He talks about more downloadable content like combat arenas. "I have a sneaky feeling that this ["Raven Down" and "Old Bones"] won't be the last content that users see from Epic Games!" Or by "last content," is he hinting at the sequel to GoW?
  • Flame bait. He thinks Marcus Fenix would win against Master Chief. The helmet ruins side vision, so Marcus could sneak up and tag a grenade or chainsaw the Chief. Hmmmm...
Like we said, good stuff and happy thoughts. So, have you guys gotten all the achievements yet?

YA RLY

um, yeah. I think he did

Cool but uncool

master chief wins. do some research cliffy! he's got motion tracking and i doubt if master shief can take a shot from a tank at close proximity then a chainsaw cant cut through his armor. and he could easily shoot marcus inj the head because he's got no helmet.

I wish I could get all the Achievements

but I don't have the time for it :(. You have to get like 11,000 kills in ranked matches for all 1000 points (one Achievement is for 10,000 kills and there's like 10 for killing 100 opponents each with a different weapon)

Cliff u suck. U really think u can take out halo
by - 2007-01-15 23:45:04
master chief is a wee wee

while halo is fun.. you have to admit that master chief is a generic character... i mean his 'really cool' spartan helmet looks like a grandpa cap on cobra commander's facemask... or maybe even mysterio... underneath he is stephen hawkings, and he laughing at how many people run around toting halo as the best.. fraggles with guns are lame. maybe the muppets actually sieze control of the covenant.. animal will take command over the entire galaxy.

Well...

You can get by the motion trackers by moving slowly :P It's a hilarious arguement and he can't say chief would win, even though I think it'd be a good match. :P

Big fat ditto

noo

MC would ***** on phenix...he would just take out his BR and kill him one shot. marcus would be trying to chainsaw like the little ***** he is and get killed, or try running and snorting like a *****g.

no *****ing way

mc would dance on marcus's head, shoot him twice, and teabag 'em before he even tried to rev his chainsaw

Dieing Snowman

What about the energy sword. Master Chief could kill Marcus Finex from only 10 feet away in a nano second. A chainsaw needs about a foot for a kill. So after MC kills Marcus he could take Finex’s chainsaw and kill the rest of his platoon. “Cut of the head of the snake and the body dies.” " Bungie and Epic suck I wish I could make games :\"
