Cliffy B is coming back to gaming

1 min read
0

Clifford Michael Bleszinski is one of the most polarising developers on the planet. He’s young, super wealthy, has a big mouth and is never scared to open it and tell the world exactly what he thinks.

Those are just some of the reasons why people love hating on Cliffy B –  but no matter what you think of him as a person as a gamer you can’t be anything but impressed by his development credentials. The games he has been part of read like a top 20 gaming list of the last two decades with hit titles like Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal Tournament, Shadow Complex and Bulletstorm to name but a few.

However he really hit the public conscience with the massive break out-title that was Gears of War which propelled the Xbox into millions of homes around the world. Well last year he took a sabbatical from gaming and just last night he announced that he was coming back.

While he hasn’t given us any more information on the type of game that he is going to be making I for one am excited that he is coming back. We need characters in this industry and he still owes us that kick in the nuts he promised previously, how can he do that if he isn’t in the industry?

            What I love most about that, is that you didn’t deny the mommy/cutesy thing at all.

    This is one hell of a douche bag….We don’t hate him because he’s wealthy or that he speaks his mind. We hate him because his mouth reeks of horse sh*t. Foul mouthed arrogant SoB

        Swapped him out of the party…..Well, I just don’t like this guy, and you’ll always hear people praising him for ‘telling it like it is’…..Difference between that and being an arrogant douche…

            Nothing against his achievements though, great game, one doesn’t have to like the person who made the game to like the game…Also Gears 1 was best and only great game in the series. Everything else did NOTHING to improve

            That just made me think of Dune. A far superior (and much missed) franchise.
            Just saying.

            Once it was good, twice was a rehash and thrice it was nothing more than the first two and wait, Dom died in that one, you said? Quite frankly, I wept a lowly tear for A Carmine and B Carmine, non for Dom…

    You can’t deny how much good this guy has done to the console market. He can be a diva at times but if it weren’t for him, we’d still be waiting for Doom 4 and Crysis to run on those feeble consoles.

    Cliffy B makes games? Didn’t know he was a coder, concept artist, sound designer etc. Much skill. Thought it was a team effort. Probably not in Cliffy’s world.
