    Really?

    It's the lead designer of Gears of War.

    He's CliffyB of Unreal "fame". He was a level designer originally.

    I guess he's supposed to represent some hip, Dane Cook side of game development.

    WELL I GUESS I DON'T NEED TO POST THIS IMAGE ANYMORE, THANKS

    From Gamasutra:
    A new interview with Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski (aka CliffyB) suggests that the Gears of War developer may focus its development efforts on consoles rather than the PC in the future, with Bleszinski describing the PC market as in “disarray

    Speaking to Stephen Totilo of consumer website MTV Multiplayer, Bleszinski commented: “I think people would rather make a game that sells 4.5 million copies than a million and Gears is at 4.5 million right now on the 360.”

    “I think the PC is just in disarray,” he stated. “What’s driving the PC right now is Sims-type games and World of WarCraft and a lot of stuff that’s in a Web-based interface. You just click on it and play it. That’s the direction PC is evolving into so for me, the PC is kind of the secondary part of what we’re doing. It’s important for us, but right now making AAA games on consoles is where we’re at.”

    This is why PC gamers don't like CliffyB right now. Mostly becuase it was such a great year for PC games, but UT3 and Gears PC sold pretty crappy. Also Crysis.

    Here is a recent interview where he says that his PC game failed because of pirated software and not because it competed with games that were much better: Retarded MTV interview

    If I'm offended by anything, it's the interviewer's horrible writing.

    Fuck off and die.

    but gears of war came out later on the PC and still sold 1 mil

    I bet if it had been a PC exclusive like it was first an xbox exclusive, it would have sold pretty good as well

    I like how he ignores the fact that pirating multiplayer games is dumb and does not work

    discussing pirating is ok so long as it's a scholastic thing rather than a "Oh man I pirate so much you guys want links where do you get your warez" thing

    I don't really see anything wrong with saying that you know of people who are pirating software. As long as you don't facilitate it.

    But I'm no mod.

    I thought console pirating was quite common

    It's more of a hassle than PC pirating, but you know, it's there

    CliffyB is irrelevant these days. His UT games degraded since the original and Gears was only for those halo nutheads to pass the time till Halo 3.

    Can't say I know many people who don't mod their consoles for various illegal ends.

    Fuck, I even read an article in a well established news paper here that said that modding your console for pirating was an integral part of console ownership. They likened it to crossing a red light in the middle of the night with no traffic.

    Yes Gears of War and Unreal tournament 3 are clearly pieces of shit.


    I don't know how the developers can live with themselves. 83%. God.

    I think burning at the stake would prevent repeat offenders.

    Unless, you know, they were actually phoenixes.

    Apparently you got the joke then. You know. Killing people to prevent...nevermind.

    Yes phoenixes. That's the ticket.

    Yeh never mind the fact that UT3 on pc has terrible problems. Like how if you installed the game without an internet connection running you can't play online till you reinstall the game. (This has happened to me. I installed it while I had my computer at my parents house and now I can't get online. It just tells me to go to www.gamespyid.com WHICH IS FREAKING USELESS since there is no UT3 section or means to add or remove game profiles)

    Ratings don't mean shit to me if I still don't like it. Oh no its 83% I must have no opinion and flock to my local Gamestop and break open wallet. A *guuuurrrrr* I'm a mindless zombie that must conform to other peoples reviews.
