A few days ago, Cliffy B. made a comment on Twitter that made some waves in the gaming community. Tweeting at Capcom, he suggested that they allow him to help them "fix" Resident Evil. The comment caused a cascade of speculation - not much of it particularly positive - throughout the gaming world. However strange the suggestion may seem, given that the man has spent the better part of a decade making the dudliest of the bro-iest gaming franchise out there - Gears of War - when you think about it, this may not be such a bad idea.

During a recent Game Rant interview, Gears of War creator CliffyB comments on Xbox-exclusive games possibly adopting multiplatform models.
Sometimes I don't get what he says half the times. He could of put gears on the playstation from the start but he's fanboyness for xbox got in the way
Well when you look at the sales perspective of ps5. It has a big audience selling over a 2 to 1 ratio. It makes money sense.
Fanboy era was at its prime during the ps3-360 generation. It’s not as toxic as it once was, thankfully. People grow out of it eventually. I have my preference just as the next person. That being said it’s coming to be more about expanding availability instead of standing behind a brand. Much more Microsoft than Sony. But Sony will probably move up its time of PC release for increase revenue.
We will see, it’s just speculation.
CliffyB is like David Jaffe at this point, always quick with the opinions but haven’t made a successful game in over a decade at this point. Do any of us really care what they think about anything? I certainly don’t.

A reimagining that continues the lore, and story of established characters is absolutely a great way to continue a series that needs a refresh. I agree that any long standing franchise that has run it's course definitely needs a "God of War" style reboot, because GOW did it right. I might have my issues with the last two games but they did right by the series regardless.
There's no helping Gears of Woke. Microsoft killed this franchise when they forced the woke culture into the story.
I thought they were doing a soft reboot with gears4 but then it turned out to be the exact same as all the others.
A more horror oriented and tight corridor renewal would work for that franchise....also...why they got guns? They're alien like...they should have other types of weapons entirely.
Really... Adding a chainsaw on a gun won't help Res Evil. Cliffy B is a no talent douche with an ego bigger than the game industry itself.
I say give him a chance... He could not do any worse then capcom's own team.
Say what you like about his charater as a person, but all things being equal, Gears of War was a great series of games apart from Gears 2 and even then they fixed alot if not all the issues it had with gears 3. This proves he can at least listen to feedback, unlike Capcom.
Why not? Whether you like him or not, you have to admit he can't really do any worse.
Star Wars recently got sold to Disney. You know why I don't care? Coz episodes 1-3 sucked and they can't really do any worse, or if they can, I don't care anymore. Same thing here. Although I find it funny as he said he was taking a break.
People keep assuming that he will make the game exactly like the Gears of War series. While I'm not a huge fan of that series, I think Cliffy is a very capable developer. Capcom is destroying the RE franchise with each bad release after RE4 (minus RE:Revelations).
I'm not really sure what's going on at Capcom. Maybe all of the talented developers have left or maybe they have gotten cocky. Whether the reason, it's hurting their franchises.
Hell, if they want to turn the franchise into Gears, might as well get some experience to help out.
They obviously can't do it themselves.
