“If, in the event there were to be another Gears game, that’s something we might explore. But we want to do it right. If I had unlimited amounts of time and a team I could sit down and make a cool Kinect game, and I would love to, but it’s a matter of time and opportunity costs right now.” – Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski speaking with Industry Gamers.

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).

Quick Quotes: Bleszinski on people writing-off the story in Gears of War

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.
