Cliff ‘Not Burned Out’ on Gears
by PWNiSH3R on Jun.21, 2009, under Gears of War News
OXM UK sat down with Cliffy B. himself to talk about Gears of War and all things gaming….
Do you feel shackled by the franchise at this point?
No. There’s only been two Gears games, man. There’s still plenty of opportunities for things you can do in a cover-based shooter and there’s still a lot of stories to tell in the Gears universe. I’m not burned out on that at all.But there are tradeoffs. With an established IP, you’re not saying “Are we going to do cover?” and “Who is this Cole Train guy?” It’s all there – the writer writes and it’s a known entity. But with a new IP, it’s raw and wide open – you don’t know and you’re playing in the sandbox and feeling out. “Is this feature going to work? Is this fun? Who’s this character, how does this fit into our fiction? How does this all come together” It’s like solving a giant puzzle in your head, and it’s great.
Whenever I talk to people in the business, I ask “What are you working on?” and when they say “I’m working on a new IP,” I say “Good for you!” Because I swear to god, if tomorrow someone came to Epic and forced me to do a licensed IP – “you have to make the new video game for the new Mummy movie” – I would go out back and put a shotgun in my mouth.
Original IPs are the best-selling and the strongest titles in the industry because they generally don’t have to adhere to rules or limitations. You can say “Can we do a flamethrower? That will fit into the fiction.” It’s the wild, wild West in the business right now. It’s like the comic book industry back in the day.
The interview continues…
Are you a douchebag?
I’m a giant douchebag.
