Cliff Bleszinski and Mark Rein Interview

[SPBTooL]

There is an excellent Cliff Bleszinski and Mark Rein interview (http://xboxyde.com/news_2042_en.html) over at xboxyde.com (http://xboxyde.com/index_en.html) with some great info on the state of the game play, graphics, AI, and the power of the Xbox360.

Editor: It's a horrible interview qxC

[slink-jadranko]

4? Ouch...

[Taco]

Someone golfing?

[Murmillo]

This is what he says about the 360 - the rest was just about his games.

Question: How easy or hard do you find it to program for the 360 platform?

We got it up and running two weeks ago like really really nicely on the 360 and we were pleasantly surprised. I ran through the office grabbing all of our designers, and artists going “come check this out, come check this out!” and we really had this watershed moment where we were looking at the game, running at a good frame rate not even as optimised as it’s going to be on the 360 on a HD TV and we’re like “okay!” because in the past coming off we’re making Unreal making out of the PC it’s like the PC is always the apex platform to work in. A PC developer generally tends to have a bad perception of a consoles as far as thinking you have to scale down all of your attach rates and goal overheads but in this instance were running high res textures , were running in HD resolution were using post processing effects, the lighting looks tight, the visuals look perfect and it’s like a breath of fresh air really!

This is a good example of a user submitted story that could have used some heavy editing.

Cliffy B is such a cutie

[EvilBob46]

What was wrong with the post except the '4' replacing 'for?' Also, what does this mean:
Editor: It's a horrible interview qxC
What makes it a horrible interview?

[MasterEvilAce]

And more importantly, what is qxC

[kickmybum]

Seems like an ok interview to me, not sure what the deal is.

[noxa]

And more importantly, what is qxC
Acronym Finder says "Qualifying Cross Country (pilot training)", but somehow I doubt that is right :)

I thought it was a decent read - some new info to me about the game. I'm really looking forward to this, and depending on how it plays it might convince me to get a first gen 360.

[The Iron Weasel]

I cannot wait for Gears Of War, thats about all I have to say.

[Magnanimous Gnome]

CliffyB is so pretty. Every video featuring him conjurs up naughty thoughts in my head.

[Liquidize105]

:) (this is me), :C (me bummed), q:C (with cap), qxC ("can't stand to look" bummed)

*drums* It's a smiley (or a frowny).

Anyway the info's there, but I just gotta laugh when an interview shows up and reminds me of all the "don'ts" people have warned me about.

You mean CliffyB isn't a woman??

(S)he's hot as hell regardless. :eek:



Edit - Don't worry Liquid, I understood your frowny. :cool:

[mister_slim]

They could have at least tried to proof their transcript.

[ElectricMonk]

i first read it as cliff yabolanski....

OOoooo............kay...

[F3nyx]

Smilies aside, this might be worth reading if it had been typed up by someone with at least the reading level of a 13-year-old. I got about 1/4 of the way through and realized I didn't care enough to slog through that garbage.

[SPBTooL]

I wrote that as a post to the console forums and then just cut and pasted it as a news submission. Afterwards I notice that I didn't state that it was for Gears of War. I was able to edit the forum post but I couldn't edit the submission. I'm kind of surprised to see it posted the way it was submitted.

My idea of a good interview is one that contains new information. As long as it's not a chore to get the information I don't really care about the quality of the writing. If I want good writing I'll turn off my PC and go read a book.

[TrackZero]

Because I played most shooters right now and you’re the alien; by the way there’s no aliens (points to TV screen) and I’m the bad guy I mean the good guy and you’re running at me and were just shooting at each other and to me it just feels silly to me now.

Jesus fuck, they could use some editing there.....

[Stryfe01]

I definitely want this game. I don't see how anyone says that this game doesn't look different than what can be done on current gen consoles. If they could do it i'm sure they would have. Stop hating. Just buy each console as you can afford them! :P

[thecrazyd]

The graphics may not be able to be the same on current gen, but beyond that, I see nothing really special. I mean, I am sure it will be polished really well, but I am sure the basic gameplay is nothing more than any given third person shooter.

[megaman]

That interview was stupid. And cliffy b is gay. And I wudn't play gears of war even if you pay me for it.

[Subbacultcha]

It seems Cliffy B is from the over-excited cheerleader school of the English language.

"It's like, he uses the word 'like', like, two times every sentence"

[earthworm48]

The graphics may not be able to be the same on current gen, but beyond that, I see nothing really special. I mean, I am sure it will be polished really well, but I am sure the basic gameplay is nothing more than any given third person shooter.

Same as UT 2007 then. (Except its the same as the other damn UTs not 3rd person shooters). Every time I see UT 2007 I can't help but think "Pretty but rather dull and hardly any one ever plays the older ones online here (UK/Europe)".

Well the cover thing and staying in the light makes the game a bit different, but to see how fun the game actually is I'd have to try it like every game, and I can't do that yet.

Don't we have a rule against moronic twelve-year olds posting on this site?


Leave CliffyB alone. The man is fucking hot.


Edit - Even if he does talk like a Valley Girl.

[Mr.Green]

Daily gaming news... with attitude
Take a guess... ;)

[bobbler]

Is being hot for CliffyB the new rage or something?

I don't understand!

As someone else mentioned... I can't look at his name without seeing Cliff Yablonski =/

[Stormwatcher]

so... apart from graphics, why should anyone be interested in Gears of War?

And I feel nothing for the cliff guy. or any other guy. Not that there's anything wrong about guys feeling things for guys. Erm, you get it.

[Taco]

Screw Cliffy. It's all about, you know it, Paul Steed!!

[Magnanimous Gnome]

Take a guess... ;)

Yeah, I'm guessing that's a no to a ban on moronic twelve-year olds. Too bad. :(

I don't understand!


Who else would I be hot for? Romero? Broussard?



Screw Cliffy. It's all about, you know it, Paul Steed!!


I'd never heard of this Paul Steed guy, so I looked him up. He's also quite attractive, and in a much more manly way than the almost overly-pretty Cliffster.

[H.Bogard]

Thats honesty!

ONLY GAY PPL PLAY GEARS OF WAR LOL!
this isnt sarcasm!

[Stormwatcher]

I'll take Cat Schawrz (sp?) over those dudes anytime.
