cliffybgdc11

“I’ve been itching for a while [to create something new]. When we finished Unreal Tournament I wanted to do another game. It’s just a matter of opportunity and figuring things out. So all hands are on Gears right now, in the foreseeable future. But, we’ll see how things go.” – Epic design boss Cliff Bleszinski, speaking to IG, at E3, clearly having an itch to make something new after Gears of War.

Quick quotes: Bleszinski hoping for Gears 3 MP to rival Halo

gears31

“I don’t think we can hit CoD numbers, because that’s such a phenomenon, but I’m hoping we can get close to Halo numbers. The thing about those franchises is that they’re wonderful and they’re established – but they’re also two or three games ahead of us. We’re only on the third game of the series. There’s a few more Call Of Dutys and Halos under their belt.” – Cliff Bleszinski, speaking to CVG, on where its aiming for Gears of War 3′s multiplayer

Quick Quotes: Bleszinski on embracing the good things hacking can produce

gearsmarcus

Speaking to GameTrailers: “I was on a panel with Tsunodo Kudo, and we were talking about Kinect Fun Labs, and he was saying they’re embracing a lot of the homebrew and hacker stuff that’s going on with Kinect. Generally speaking, when it comes to hackers, you want to embrace a lot of what they are doing instead of fighting it. I think the industry is slowly learning that.” – Cliff Bleszinski on seeing more user generated content options for Gears of War 3 (via Develop).

gears33

“People say, ‘yeah, I tried the campaign, but whatever.’ Gears of War 3′s campaign is very important to us, and we’re going to have the longest damn campaign of the series in Gears 3. With these Pulp Fiction elements we’re adding, you get a better perspective of characters like Cole and Baird. But yeah, I dont get why people write it off either. (Laughs) The amount of work we put into it.” – Cliff Bleszinski speaking with Destructoid.
