Questions For Cliffy B

Post by Steve Farrelly @ 03:29pm 14/10/08 | 31 Comments

That's right. Tomorrow I'm heading out to interview the one and only poster boy of modern gaming, Epic's Cliff Bleszinksi about all things Gears of War 2 and whatever else I can think of.

Actually, that's why I'm posting this - if you have any questions you'd like me to ask, just post them in the comments of this news article, and if they're reasonable (outlandish can be good sometimes though), I'll sneak them into my repertoire and post them here for your pleasure later on.

So go ahead. Wanna know what hair gel he uses? How keeps his teeth so pearly white? Or if he even realises people make so much fun of him? Just post your question and I'll pose it to
him tomorrow!

Ask him if Epic needs any animators, because I'm keen.

Ask him if a plane was on a treadmill, would it take off?

Ask him what spin offs he could see the gears franchise doing? gears of war RTS: gears of war wars? gears racing: Brumac kart? Arcade fighter? Brawler?

Why the nickname change from oldschool CliffyB to this new Dude Huge persona. It took me months to realise CliffyB and Dude Huge weren't different people :(

Ask him about alternative gaming finical models, as in the Free-games with some sort of advertising approach. That sort of thing.

O, and What's better, LCD or Plasma?

O, and What game does he tag for Game of the Year.

Does he miss being the developer with the best looking engine now that Crytek have taken that place?

I think that's debatable.

Pity Crytek failed to actually make a good game with their pretty engine. Besides, CliffyB didn't make the engine anyway so I doubt he'd really give a shit :P

Definitely PC questions. Also does he still have anything to do with Unreal? They need to release the old ones as free games. Package up the old UTs and give them away as promos for the new ones.

Possibly ask his thoughts if they'd be willing to change specific builds for Australian releases of GOW2 due to our countries strict policy on fun video games.

Is anyone else just completely uninterested in PC related questions? Epic have been pretty clear of their stance on the PC (that it's not their focus anymore due to piracy) I'm not sure what new info you're all hoping to find out.

Imo, the interview would be better spent delving mainly into more Gears 2 specifics.

Also, Cliff is supposedly Exec Producer on the Gears of War film. I'd like to know how much input he has into that. If it's going to stay within the continuity of the games (or totally shit on it and change everything like Doom and Resident Evil) and whether it has the potential to set a new standard for video game film adaptations or if it's just going to be an action-packed popcorn flick.

I don't want to find out anything; I just don't want to stop asking in case they take silence for a lack of interest in the PC market.

Ask him if hes a fan of Joss Whedon so I have some yardstick to measure his awesomeness by.

David Jaffe recently said in his blog that he'll take on the "Cliffy B" nickname. I'd like to know what Mr. Bleszinksi thinks about that.

I have saw some leaked Multiplayer gameplay videos by people who already have the game (Don't know if they have the retail version or review versions) anyway the guy was playing against bots on insane difficulty and the bots AI was really bad so will the bots AI improve on release ?

Ask him if many people from different places come to him with questions they've sourced from a community in attempt to get some sort of publicity

That's funny because when you work in a public forum based around a community of people sourcing and reading news, the last thing you want to do is publicly make available news-worthy items with their expressed involvement through asking relevant questions based on the forum media

Could you ask CliffyB to translate that?
