A Twitter exchange to warm your heart: Cliff Bleszinski and Evan Wells chat

"Uncharted 3 and Gears of War 3 are both set to be the biggest blockbuster releases in videogaming this year, both releasing at the end of the year, and both exclusive to a single platform - both sure to be competing for your cash this holiday season.

That doesn’t mean that top developer talent working on the games can’t look forward to one another’s titles, and in a recent Twitter exchange, Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski (Gears of War) and Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells (Uncharted) remind us that, at heart, they’re just big ol’ videogame geeks like us."

That's good to see. Can't wait for Uncharted 3 :D

[zeeshan810]

yea :P UC3

True gamers

Bleszinski : “Just caught wind that [Naughty Dog] folks are checking out [the Gears of War 3] beta. I hope not. Their asses had better be finishing Uncharted 3 for us! ;)”

Wells :“How could we not? Had a great time with it! But for now, back to work if you insist. Can we expect to see you in the [Uncharted 3] beta?”

True class

[ilikestuff]

two gents with mutual respect, good to see. two good games and if i could afford to get a xbox i would, just for gears, not really a fan of any other xbox games, eh maybe the first crackdown too.

[Cosmit]

Yeah its great to see something like that.
Yeah I would love to play Gears 3. The only Gears I've played is Gears 2. And that was only because a friend of mine let me borrow his 360 with it. Never got a chance to start the story since my bro was playing through it. Only got to play the online mode with waves. I think its called Hordes mode. Good game.

[Active Reload]

Gears 3 is amazing!

[Therealspy03]

it is a lotta fun. the dedicated servers are what's making the difference.

think i'll play some right now

[Vherostar]

I just got a new 360 a few week ago ready for gears 2 first in 4 years since my last 3 died lol. Tried playing gears 2 and im in the gears 3 BETA and if i'm honest I am not impressed :(. I LOVED Gears 1 spent hours on end playing it but all the new weapons for me has ruined the fun element.

[zeeshan810]

Awesome! :)

[The Matrix]

I'm a huge fan of Gears and Uncharted. I never compare them, just enjoy both. Glad to see this kind of thing happening.

[zeeshan810]

I love both developers. *no homo* lol

[undercovrr]

Glad they are getting along. I only wish gamers could get along. Unfortunately we are bound to see Uncharted 3 vs Gears of War 3 comparisons by the end of this year

[zeeshan810]

Gamers can't never get along.

[Downtown boogey]

Do you think us in Denmark fucking believe this??

[Capdastaro]

Denmark should be flattened and turned in to one big pig farm for my bacon.

[undercovrr]

What's wrong with Denmark?

[PirateThom]

Nothing, but Danish bacon is amazing.

[ps3bestever]

lol, CliffyB is a Flattering man, oh no woman !

[DTForever]

Glad to see this type of exchange. All of the Sony / Microsoft fanboy-ism reminds me of my other passion...motorcycling and the retarded angst between Harley riders and Sportbike riders. What "machine" you use to get your kicks matters not...

[Excalibur]

In that club as well.
It always kills me when we sport bikers point to the road in a "keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up" gesture only to get flipped off in return.

Ya gotta love it.

[Vherostar]

Its mad as Cliify B is one of the biggest 360 fanboys going. It's thanks to him Gears 3 ain't a multiplatform. So gamers lose out really. Plus he never been one to hide his emotions either.

[yewles1]

To be expected, as both companies have been friends for a long time.

[theonlylolking]

I want naughty dog vs epic games in gears of war 3 just like naughty dog vs bungie in halo reach.

[Lamarthedancer]

I wonder what it would be like if for the PS4 a new Gears trilogy was made for the console.

Gears of War vs Uncharted 4

You know how Naughtydog like to be competitive but friendly with other developers like they are with Suckerpunch.

[Excalibur]

Be a gamer not a Hater. ;)

[DarkFantasy]

yeah we should drop this console war shit and rejoin as brothers and sisters in gaming,one love,one heart!

[lochdoun]

Gears 3 and UC3... two of the biggest games of the year.
Also the benchmark for graphics on their respective systems.

[Excalibur]

yep and I have them both pre-ordered, can't wait. :)

[Inzo]

Ahhwwww!!!

[CanadianTurtle]

In their minds, they're like "oh, I hope your game fails, and mine wins!" lol just kidding

I want both the games.

[DelicatePotatoes]

If anyone still needs a Gears Of War 3 beta key, I found some being handed out on a blog.

I don't know if any of the keys are left, but you can try here:

[Loko23]

i love gears of war, but I only have a PS3 :( and i cant afford a 360 =( Uncharted is like the gay version of GOW

[capjacksparrow]

@Loko23 What a stupid comment.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

Holy Shit!!!! I already bought 6 games this year. Thanks Sony and Microsoft for making my wallet bleed, in a good way of course XD

[ERMAC_]

Lance CHARRGE

They should put easter eggs in about the other's games in their own

[LDawgNL]

whatever. Gears of War 3 is far more superior to Uncharted 3.

[JeffGUNZ]

Only if the dedicated servers run consistently. Unfortunately this beta has more of us gamers on P2P connections then on dedicated server connections. I understand it's a beta, but I still don't know why they advertise dedicated servers when a lot of the games in this beta are P2P. It's like advertising an all you can eat buffet but not having any food.

[LDawgNL]

That's bullshit. You either haven't played the beta or have cheap ass internet connection.

[JeffGUNZ]

LDawg. I always get a good laugh when a moron spews out shit that makes no sense. Why don't you do some research on the beta before you make an ass out of yourself. The last week EPIC confirmed they were purposely stress-testing the servers. This past weekend, they released CTL earlier then first announced, to roll out more servers so most games will be played on their dedicated servers. Since Saturday, I have consistently got into dedicated server matches and they are perfect.

Also, if it's on dedicated servers, as long as you have a half assed internet, it's fine, sine you're connecting to a DEDICATED SERVER. I have comcast high speed internet. Idiot.

[capjacksparrow]

@LDawgNL Uncharted 3 looks ridiculous. It's the only one of these two games that I'm getting, though I'm glad the developers play eachothers games. Also, how is it "far more superior" to Uncharted 3? You haven't even played it...
