"I'm officially coming out of retirement to make video games again," the developer announced on Twitter. "Stay tuned here for details in the next seven days!"

 

Last time Bleszinski discussed his upcoming project in December, he said he wanted to make "a PC experience that will hearken back to a certain type of game that we cut our teeth on."

 

He also noted that it would be a first-person shooter and said, "I don't ever want to make a game that has a cutscene or a scripted sequence in it ever again."

 

"A lot of these kids playing Call of Duty- I don't think they know what a proper arena shooter is," he added, suggesting that this latest project will follow in the footsteps of Unreal Tournament.

 

Say what you want about Cliffy B., but he has worked on quite a few great games, so I faith in him to make a good game. So what do we know about his new game so far? Looks it'll definitely be on the PC; looks like it'll be another first-person shooter; and it looks like it will be an arena shooter - judging from that tease in the last quote.

 

Either way, whatever his new project is, we'll find out in a week when he releases more details. In the past though, Cliffy B. did tease his new project with this image. So for now, this is all we have.

Retirement must have been boring as shit, eh, Cliffy B.?

[NInety]

Who is he?

[FrozenIpaq]

Who is he?

 

Game designer responsible for Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal and Gears of War series.

[Hidden Orange]

Who is he?

The guy known for Gears of War aka Bros of War or: The Tale of Bromance, Testosterone, and How I Dealt With Alien Scum. I have played the 3rd game and it's pretty good. He also worked on Unreal Tournament, but Gears of War comes to mind whenever people see his name.

[Seldszar]

The first Unreal Tournaments games were great, I hope we get something like it used to be. A bit better than Unreal 3. I don't know anything about Gears. Im not an Xbox owner or fan and it never seemed good enough to warrat a console. It looked a lot like bro stuff for sure.

[Bagmup]

Dear lord no...

[Askew]

I really don't like Gears of War.

[Misanthrope]

Knowing the kind of dipshit he is he'll quickly join the stupidity of "PS4/XBONE is as powerful as high end PCs" and "Resolution it's just a number/ 30 FPS it's fine"

[EChondo]

Whatever company he joins, I'm not buying games from.

[ShiverMePenguins]

I loved GoW multiplayer. Actually felt balanced and well done compared to cod and bf

seeing how many people associate Gears of War with Cliffy B. is making me realize how old I am

It's only going to get worse. Soon, people will talk about Angry Birds as their favorite childhood video game... Oh, wait... That's already happening.

[JcGross]

Well, that didn't last long...

[TopWargamer]

I *think* he's starting his own studio.

[NickTheMajin]

Eh. Never really liked the Unreal series or Gears of War. 

[Exotath]

He is also a massive douche. But... he has worked on some pretty awesome games so I am looking forward to what he has in store.

[Scionyde]

Is Gears of War considered an arena shooter? I've never played it, but I've always assumed it was just like CoD.

[Guest Kloaked]

This is older news. I expected tho this to already be posted.

I remember this guy being a very frequent panel guest on the original G4 tv show "G4tv.com" hosted by Tina Wood and Geoff Keighley

[Misanthrope]

I thought he hated PC gaming community and was console peasant ?

I'm guessing the PC gaming experience he is talking about involves complaining about piracy, and pointing fingers at PC gaming community, since PC gaming community is clearly all about piracy.

 

Not really, he's the worst kind of fucking hypocrite: He made his bones on the PC then not only left for console dev but was particularly vocal AGAINST the people that made his career possible in the first place which is PC gamers, so fuck him: He should stay retired for all I care we don't need his fucking cancerous attitude to eventually undermine PC gaming again.

No and No

 

It actually had a good skill curve and could be unforgiving which is what I liked about it.

 

Sadly all the good guys started leaving around 3 so it went down hill from there.

Actually it started to go down hill from TU6 for Gears 2 when it rebalanced a lot of the games mechanics and completely ruined what made Gears 1 and 2 so unforgiving and judgement was just so much awful none of the guys I played with even look at it.

 

It was the death of Gears 2 the beta for Gears 3 forced me back to PC as I was left with nothing on a console that had any sort of skill curve worthy of playing.

It also made me realise how helpful it is to be friends with a community manager. Free swags

[jaggysnake57]

Who is he?

think the person form of ubisoft....fucking tool

[EChondo]

I don't know who'd want to work for him then. Cliffy B starting an Indie studio? Cool, good luck.

[LukaP]
