The lights are on
As the face of Epic Games, design director Cliff Bleszinski is well known to the gaming audience. The famed developer has been honing his craft for years over titles such as Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal Tournament, and more recently the Gears of War series. We sat Cliff down at his desk in the Epic offices and spoke with him about everything from his first moments with video games to how he get into development, and even what he’d like to explore through his games in the future. This video interview is just part of our epic (no pun intended) coverage of Gears of War 3, so don’t miss our hub!
I like this guy, Hes a good guy. Respect.
cool
Cool history of videogames
Nice interview, it's funny to me because Jazz Jackrabbit is what got me into PC gaming, and Gears is what got me back into console gaming!
A great guy, and an inspiration to others
This guy did it right! Most creative directors have no talent and just tell you what to do and expect it "ASAP" without the slightest idea what it takes to write that much code. Cliffy B, however, learned what it took and then tackled creative directing. Respect, Cliffy. Respect.
Cliff probably has some of the best soft skills in the industry.
Exactly why he's such a big asset for Epic.
mad props for a great designer
I want to see Overfiend.
i like this guy, what a story,those are the kind of stories that inspire people to choose what they want to do for the rest of their lives.
wow that is the deepest thing i have ever said.
This guy might be one of the developers that I give total respect to.
I would love to have that Gaiking, and the G1 Optimus he has behind him. Oh wait, he was speaking? Let me play it again....Nope, I just saw toys !
Hes a great designer there's no doubt about that but im sorry, the Unreal engine still need much needed work and even after all the update they did to it its still a mediocre engine. Other than that he is one of the best design directors in the game industry to date.
Ciff is the man!!!
Cliff is the man!!!
he must be a cool guy to hang out with
I love Cliffy B. He gets a lot of flack for being too much of a "dude" but I think he's a good representative for video games. He's really smart, good-looking and just seems like a cool guy. He kind of breaks a lot of stereotypes of what video game nerds should be like.
Dang, that's pretty impressive that he made his own game at the age of 11, pretty impressive stuff right there. Truly one of the gaming industry's best!
interesting stuff, I like this guy. I think I want to get into creating video games lol I feel like that's the sweetest job ever.
