News CliffyB wanted more romance in Gears 1

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/11/11/cliffyb-wanted-more-romance-in-gears-1/1

Chatting about Gears of War 2 and the romantic subplot that plays out as Dom tracks down his wife, CliffyB says he wanted it in the first game.

 

I read this earlier this morning and I can see the book exploring this in a lot of depth, maybe exploring Marcus' life even more as well. There are a lot of stories and ideas in Gears, it's a shame the games have such a short storyline.

 

WOW, why does this moron talk so much and why does anyone care? Seriously?

 

Yeah, this punk here is just another forumer on some website and obviously not the design director or something at some big games developer like Epic Games man.. pft! Who does he think he is?!

 

Captian Planet, that's who!

 

Gears of War 2? Is that the game PC owners aren't going to see? Nothing for me here then...

 

hey cliffy!

Last i checked being a video game designer hardly makes him anything, many other great Game designers have made better games then him don't constantly run their mouth. Get off his nut sack.

 

I met him once at a lan party back in 2004 he was there to show the then (very very new) beta build of unrealtournament 2k3 on (as yet to be released) athalon x64 system. It was the first time a game had been shown running a xp-64 platform. He also entered the UT2k3 tournament which I thought was wierd being the dev of the game, I was half expecting him to open the console type in some lines and have the other guy instagibbed. He was actually pretty cool, and was competitive at UT making it to the top 20

 

Jeeze you're gonna last long here...

Since when was saying he had hoped for more romance in Gears 1 "run their mouth"
I'm aware he's been in a lot of other articles saying stuff but if people come to him and interview him he has the right to speak his mind!

"Last i checked being a video game designer hardly makes him anything"
Last time I checked being a jackass who is jealous of a man who is the producer/director of a very successful games series and makes much more money than you'll probably EVER own wasn't that respectable and it doesn't make you anything except an idiot.
So he comments on this and that? It's a free country. Don't like it? Don't read it! No need to be an arrogant p**** about it.

 

Are you serious? This guy is always saying BS in the media, even Mark Rein corrected him in public a few times, learn some facts. Jealous? LOL, hardly. Many people in the industry make more then him, do they keep talking crap to the media? If you think this has anything to do with jealously you need your head checked. This guy is always spewing some BS, he thinks he is some kind of celebrity or something. I suggest you go back and see this guy runs his mouth more then bigger industry guys like Carmack, Newell, others. The guy takes himself too seriously, he is just lead designer, hardly the big honcho of gaming. I am talking a lot mote then just this episode, this guy is always trying to sound like a teen trying to be cool in the media on a weekly basis, the sad thing is guys like you want his nutz in your mouth. Stop the hero worship dude, it's pathetic.

 

On a side note, game desginers do not make big money at all, there are many people at my work that would make more then CliffyB, how much do you think he makes, lol. If I was gonna be jealous of someone it surely would not be him.

 

"Romance" is not in the vocabulary of the typical Gears-playing demographic. This nutter is out of his f*cking mind.

 

Seriously Leper, I'm failing to understand your problem here, Gears of War's lead creator has commented on introducing a romantic storyline into one of Epic's games.

Chill.

I also request you lower your tone in future discussions.

 

So what examples of CliffyB talking crap are you going to give to back up the last couple of posts? Its easy to say someone talks crap, but I can't really tell unless you say what he said that you thought was full of crap. What he said in this article is hardly BS it is most likely what happened.

 

CliffyB makes more than enough and is a very visible figure. He makes tonnes. It's the developers and animators who work under him and who actually do all the work he tells them to that don't get paid as much and who have to work twenty hour days for months on end. Cliff is more a storyline creator and and public face for the company - he doesn't actually do any of the coding IIRC.

 

can we please get lepermessaih banned? Hes a complete asshat.

Leper, nicest way i can say this "fook off you ******"

 

Aside from the very wealthiest people there's always gonna be people making more than person X.
Okay I can't even be bothered replying to the BS overload that is detected in that post so I'll keep it simple:
You sir have an unhealthy obsession with fantasizing about CliffyB's genitals. I'd keep it to yourself in future.
Also it's not "worship" just because I'm defending the guy coz some idiot on a forum is jealous that someone is making way more money than you'll ever see and have a tantrum everytime he says something. Grow up. Or Get off Bit-tech.
