The Gears of War franchise is well known for its over the top violence and masculine characters, but according to Cliffy Bleszinski, former developer of the series, this was not the original plan.

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.
As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.
(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)
All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
It's probably best it turned out how you didn't want it to Cliff because what you wanted sounded like every other military shooter out there now.
What bothers me , is that he is only saying this now , and was in a position where he could have changed that . Too late and to easy now to wholly exonerate yourself from those decisions
Well it suited the game IMO, can't imagine Gears of War without the overly muscle turtle men now.
Mhm cliff, if you didn't want that you COULD have done something about it...however you didn't because you're just trying to cover your a**.
Why is it a lot of devs are incapable of admitting when they messed up, it just makes them look bad. Being 'buff and manly' isn't so much a mistake but it looks bad the fact he is trying to blame everyone he worked with instead of saying 'yeah it was a pretty dumb choice, just like the choice to not use any color besides brown'.
Just curious, why do people hate Cliffy B so much?
