Bleszinski on Dark Corners SP and Natal

“It’s a 90-minute section that was actually snipped out of Gears of War 2, where Marcus and Dom are actually going to the Locust homeworld and they’re basically suited up in Locust armour and have a choice – because they knocked out a couple of Therons – they can go in guns-blazing as they always do, Rambo-style, or they can go with a more stealth approach, so it’s a little bit of stealth in the Gears universe,” Bleszinski told Major Nelson’s podcast.
“You get Achievements for playing the mode either way and it kind of plugs right into the main game. It’s actually the first time we’ve done any sort of single-player DLC. It’s kind of a test to see whether people dig it.”
Microsoft Deals Harsher Damage To Cheaters
by Slade on May.18, 2009, under Gears of War News
During a recent podcast by Major Nelson, it is revealed that Microsoft has a bigger punishment for cheaters than just wiping their scores. Stephen Toulouse, Xbox Live Policy and Enforcement, stated that the cheaters will also be branded — for life.
When talking about the resetting of gamerscore’s, Stephen stated “I’m going to admit that the bar is a little bit higher than that, because we are a little bit conservative. The other thing it does is reset your gamerscore, but it also puts a tag that you’ve been caught cheating on your gamercard. That’s a pretty big Scarlet Letter.”
So the moral of the story? Don’t cheat unless you want a tag saying you’re a cheater for the rest of your gamer life.
