"Too Linear". Doesn't necessarily make it crap. Anyway cannot wait for the next build of the UDK!

LukaX235066d ago

Wow, I just saw the interview on GameTrailers... This is nowhere near newsworthy...

candystop5066d ago

It's only crap for me me when there are a bunch of invisible walls and hardly any exploration.

R6ex5066d ago

No fun having only 1 direction to advance.

Look at how open the Crysis 1 & 2 environments are. Halo 3 was great for the same reason.

radzy5066d ago (Edited 5066d ago )

just when the next version(gears 3) of their franchise is going to release , they start speaking crap about the former version(gears 2).
why the hell do they take this dumb , non-convincing approach.
gears 2 was never a sandbox game !
there are better ways to make your fanbase buy your next iteration without doing this.

WrAiTh Sp3cTr35066d ago

The first Gears was definitely more open the part 2 though.

badz1495066d ago

why didn't he use a better explanation? like "too glitchy" perhaps?

I disagree Cliff.
Ya know I think I'm starting to see a pattern here.
I hope I'm wrong, I seems like he's not hyping Gears 3 but bashing Gears 2.

Gears 2 was a great game even with it's flaws.
Which BTW I think were blown WAAAAY out of proportion.

Yes Gears 1 was a great game too but too many folks look at it through rose colored glasses.

theonlylolking5066d ago

If you can admit your mistakes as a dev then you know the stuff might get fixed with the next game.

Excalibur5066d ago

Of course there is always room for improvement and who else would know more than the developer?

It just seems like to me that thing is some sort of subtle reverse hype.

mcslick1015066d ago

You know what they say "Fail early, fail often", that way you will learn and correct your mistakes. Too bad Gears 2 failed too late.

hamoor5066d ago

You know cliff...that
Is not the problem with geow2
The REAL problem is.......THE ONLINE SUCKED SOOO BAD
You can make 5 glitches by just moving around....and don't get me started at host advantage
Here is a little easy solution for this problem is release a beta for geow3 I mean how hard is that???

BeaArthur5066d ago

Agreed, multiplayer could be really good but it's plagued by bugs and glitches and Gears will never be what it should until they address that.

Im sure he would love it. More money for him.

OtterX52d ago

Yea, I remember seeing him and his Lamborghini at one point in history. Lol, I think that kind of gives it away.

rippermcrip52d ago

Doubtful he gets any residuals from anything Gears related.

rippermcrip51d ago

Bunch of clowns down voting without any explanation of how exactly he is getting money off Gears. You think Notch still gets Minecraft money too?

jznrpg51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Depends on the contract. Some contracts have residuals some don’t

Whitey2k52d ago

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

Notellin52d ago

I imagine this is exactly how fanboys feel how this went down. Microsoft paid for all the development and took all the risk off Epic games for a new IP.

It has nothing to do with anyone being a fanboy. Well other than yourself who oversimplified this entire franchises history.

LoveSpuds52d ago

I agree Notellin, however, once he was in bed with MS he did become pretty 'anti Sony' ans was such a shill for MS.

Hofstaderman52d ago

This. And Sony also does this with titles these days.

shinoff218352d ago

I thought it was said cliffs shopped it around hence rumors of a ps3 demo being out there. If ms took on all the cost, why is there a ps3 demo?

Rude-ro52d ago

Not true at all.
Microsoft had to buy the ip because the contract ran out on keeping it exclusive.
Microsoft took no risk, they just marketed the game and payed for a contract.
Not hard to find out.

Ironmike52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

Your the the fanboy

Sciurus_vulgaris52d ago

No, Epic signed a development and publishing contract with Xbox for Gears of War. After Judgement Microsoft still had the Gears of War publishing rights. Epic then sold the Gears of War IP to Microsoft in 2014. Cliffy B never owned Gears of War, he was just a lead designer of the series.

rippermcrip52d ago

Ya I don't know what people are saying about CliffyB making money of Gears sales nowadays. He was never the owner and Epic no longer owns it either.

ChasterMies52d ago

“He could of put gears on the playstation from the start but he's fanboyness for xbox got in the way”

It has nothing to do with fondness for the Xbox platform. Microsoft paid for exclusivity.

Travesty52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

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.

Psychonaut8552d ago

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.

shinoff218352d ago

I never liked the guy tbh but he's got more relevance in gaming then we do.

Skuletor52d ago

CliffyB, I haven't heard that name since Lawbreakers flopped.
