"A movie based on the extremely popular Xbox 360 series, Gears of War, has been rumoured since the original game hit shelves all those years ago. Movie-based games are always a worry for fans of the game and fans of films alike. Hear what Cliff Bleszinski had to say about the topic at this year's E3."
"Cliffy.B, the design director of the Gears of War franchise has killed all the rumors that have been popping on the internet about the possibility of a Gears of War game on Sony’s console, the PS3.
Speaking on Kotaku radio, when someone had mentioned that Microsoft doesn’t hold the exclusivity of the franchise and asked him about the possibility of the next installment in the series to appear on the PS3 as a multiplatform title, the creative force behind the Gears of War franchise answere..."
"Gears of War 2 been out in the West for nearly a year and it finally came out in Japan last week. Before the launch I spoke with Cliff Bleszinski, Lead Designer, of Gears of War 2 and asked what he thought about bringing Gears 2 to Japan.
How do you feel about the Japanese version of Gears of War 2?
Cliff Bleszinski, Lead Designer: They actually did a really good job casting the voices. Marcus sounds like, you know, how a Japanese version of Marcus would sound like and Cole Train always..."
"Eurogamer: I know you haven't made any announcements regarding a possible third instalment in the Gears of War series, and I know you hate stupid questions along those lines. So when is Gears of War 3 out?
Mark Rein: Haha! Gears of War what?
Eurogamer: Gears of War 3. You made quite a successful series of shooter games called Gears of War, do you remember?
Mark Rein: You know we're still working on Gears of War 2, right?
Eurogamer: No, Gears of War 2 was released last November. Di..."
"Rod Fergusson: First, we decided to make Dark Corners available for 1200 points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, a reduction from 1600. Don't get me wrong, Dark Corners is the biggest Game Add-on we've ever released, and it was a good deal at the old price, but based upon community feedback this just felt like the right thing to do. Also, we've decided to release the All Fronts Collection on Xbox LIVE Marketplace in order to make it available to the widest audience possible. The All Fronts Collectio..."
"1UP: So the part where Dom finally finds his wife, Maria, and then blows her away -- what the hell was that all about? A few square meals, a haircut, maybe some cosmetic dentistry, and she would've been well on the way to recovery!
CB: It's not that simple. The Locust were capturing and torturing people to the point where they break. The final step in this grueling process was to lobotomize their prisoners, and it's a one-way trip. Dom did the only humane thing he could do. There was nothi..."
It was announced about a month ago Gears 2 would not be coming to the PC, but Epic's Cliff Bleszinski never really let on why, per se. In a new interview with TVG, he says it is for many reasons, two of which include the multiple configuration problem, and piracy.
He also says there is no chance of it ever coming to the platform. PC gamers/non-360 owners: looks like you'll have to stick to the original.
Developer Cliff Bleszinski recently announced the downloadable content for the up and coming Gears of War 2 will be "multiplayer map focused." Lucky for all the eager Gears of War fans you won't have to wait months for DLC: it'll be available shortly after the game's initial release, sometime between November 16th and the month after, at this point. Don't expect a long wait to try out some additional new maps.
There's still no word on whether this time around the DLC will be free.
Last night at the X08 event in Toronto Joystiq was able to sit Cliff Bleszinski down and discuss the upcoming Gears of War 2, for the Xbox 360. Cliff discussed the co-op play and a little about achievements and how they'll be more friendly with them this time around. Look out for Seriously 2.0; 100,000 kills across cumulative single player and multiplayer campaign mode. It looks like you'll be playing through campaign more than three times.
