Gears of War 2 Dev Diary

September 25, 2008 – 11:00 am

Listen to Cliffy B., Rod Fergusson and Mike Capps discuss the characters and plot of the new Gears of War 2 game. This puts the game in perspective for you if you were wondering what the game would be about and also connects it to the first game as well. I like the introduction of the new character that is almost samurai like in nature and fights for honor. Gear 2 story is looking a bit deeper than the first already, but I have my reservations as the game looks a lot like the first one with tweaks, only time will tell.

Cliffy B. Finally Loses It

September 12, 2008 – 7:00 pm

Thats right I called him Cliffy B. want to fight about it? No matter how grown up he wants to sound he will never be able to shake the name Cliffy B. If I were him I would just embrace it, it could have been worse if his name were Mike Crotch or something of that nature. In any even it is hard to view Cliffy B. seriously after watching this video, this is testament that if you are going to make funny noises during an interview to show off new game mechanics you may want to make sure no one has the footage to remix it. Listen to Cliffy B. as he seemingly loses his mind and makes some seriously funny machine gun noises. Boom!

Cliffy B: Gears 2 is not Metal Gear for a Reason

Gears of War 2 Screen 3

Some say this was taken out of context, but he said what he said.

“Games aren’t movies and aren’t consumed in a single sitting” explains Bleszinski, “Metal Gear Solid is our example of the game we’re not doing. Passive entertainment is on its way out.”

I would not expect extended cutscenes and active camo in Gears 2. We all knew this already, so why did he take a shot or sorts at what some consider the greatest game of this generation? Some people like run and gun and some like crawl and gun. I, personally just like really fun games. Gears 2 has to be a killer, and I mean, killer app because with GTA IV and MGS4, he could be looking at a bronze medal for Game of the Year at best.
