Just bought my first ever Xbox at 29 years old (series S) and I'm playing through all the gears games right now. Currently at Gears 3. Man what a great franchise. I wish games could go back to being so simple and fun. It's not overly complicated or convulated with systems. Just straight up fun linear gameplay. Mad I missed these games as a kid
When I saw the article about Cliff saying he wanted Microsoft to bring him on as a consultant I thought “YES! Please do!” I fired up Gears 3 just yesterday with FPS boost and it still visually blows away almost every game on half a gig of RAM!(?)
I'm sure you know this but for others sake, the reason behind that is, Epic games CREATED unreal engine, no other studio had the deep understanding of it they did. They have UNMATCHED optimization skills for it. Gears 1 was a struggle to get running on the 360 yet somehow they wizarded Gears 3 graphics out their ass onto 360. Incredible to say the least.
I swear Cliff really is a real one from everything I’ve seen. He’s got some edge to him, but he treated his employees well. He actually set everyone up with relief packages as Boss Key was going under instead of the usual stories we hear of employees being blindsided while they’re coming into what felt like an arbitrary work day. Thanks Cliff, you’re a big contributor to my high school years
I definitely say this, not being in the spotlight as much has definitely deflated his ego quite a bit. I went to pax 2016 and the dude looked like lex luthor. Not because he was bald at the time, but when i saw him, he has the expression like he didnt want to be there. He was showing off his new game (lawbreakers, yah i know) and his colleague was the one really selling the game. Take it what you will, but cliff had the ego the size of texas and i personally think that the failure of lawbreakers put him in check
I’ve been dealing with major depression and been away from games for the last 2 years, i decided to go through Gears of War trilogy on insane to act for myself and do something, i did, then i jumped to Dead Space trilogy again on their respectively harder or hardest difficulties, and just as im feeling better i see on your channel fresh interviews with the legendary gentlemen who brought us these masterpieces of games.
Dude my dad met this guy at a bar and he doesn't play games but he just heard he made this game called gears of war and he tells me about it all the time lol
I appreciate Cliffs passion for gears but i do not aggree with his idea of the locust growing wings and going airborne. Gears is way better on the ground.
I agree. It might of been an alright idea for a enemy type..but not the whole of the locust. Goes to show you the importance of having multiple brains on a project.
i love this dude. i grew up with his creation and he made my childhood memorable. now i'm 33 and waiting for new gears of war game, even though i know he is not working on this game but gears is his creation. i wish him all the best and healthy long life.
How great you are Cliff B. You maked a before and after in third-person shooting games. I hope you come back with somethimg magical and spectacular in the form of a triple A Video Game 👾.
This guy had such a massive ego. I remember the way he would trash talk about players on the XBOX not being able to play his game "lawbreaker" on it as it didn't release and would embarrass himself without even knowing it. I hope he learnt to be humble after that colossal of a disaster.
I love Cliffy B interviews because he's such an all over the place kind of character and tends to just say whatever comes to mind. He's a bit of a dick, a bit obnoxious, but also likeably unadulterated. Not sure I'd want to work with him in a professional setting but he's responsible in large part for some really cool games. One of my earliest gaming memories is Jazz Jackrabbit. I definitely think he should be back working somewhere as he is a great mind in the business and has the track record to prove it. If LawBreakers came out today it probably would have had more of a chance of succeeding. You look at something like Concord and the games are 7 years apart and you just wonder where the innovation has gone in the industry. Things seem to have slowed to a snails pace. You get a new game from a studio every 7-8 years and it's just GaaS copy paste garbage. Gears of War was pivotal, especially for XBOX taking the next step after the original console and the success of Halo. They've accomplished next to nothing of actual note since Gears and the 360.
Good stuff doe! Do some treyarch stuff for da upcomin bo 6, or treyarch devs dat left n what dey think bout bo 6 Or even movies, like interview writer of upcomin gi joe wit transformers movie, or director whoever its gon be cause i dont think dey chose one yet but might be wrong
Oof. I just read your comment and looked online. Campi sht talking about a fellow comic artist Valerie D’Orazio long after she left the industry. And Campi herself being named dropped in a talented recently deceased cartoonists(Ed Piskor) suicide note. Campi is just unhinged.
@@SSwormy Dancing on Piskor’s grave is the most recent display her of vindictive bitterness. She’s been at it for a long time. I wasn’t very impressed with Cliff after this either honestly.

Gears has never been as good as it was with Cliff,
He has a great understanding of what makes games compelling & more games from Cliff is great news
His games are not good.
🐐🐐

So glad the old TC management left,
it's clear the guys in charge now know what they're doing,
The last months of gears 5 support also supporting that

Cliff is full of crap.
check out his old interviews from pre gow. Always wore edgy clothes, treated his people good, family good. He’s a really cool guy.
@@justaman3817I still remember his interview with gameinformer talking about Gears before it launched. Lol
I’ve been dealing with major depression and been away from games for the last 2 years, i decided to go through Gears of War trilogy on insane to act for myself and do something, i did, then i jumped to Dead Space trilogy again on their respectively harder or hardest difficulties, and just as im feeling better i see on your channel fresh interviews with the legendary gentlemen who brought us these masterpieces of games.
I'll always love Cliffy B for bringing me the Unreal and Gears of War series.
Wow, didn’t expect this video to be so deep but I needed this right now. Thanks guys
Dude my dad met this guy at a bar and he doesn't play games but he just heard he made this game called gears of war and he tells me about it all the time lol

Some locust having wings wouldn't be too bad. They are called locust, after all.
@@mattd5240nuh
Long time since I last saw Cliff, cutting a cake with a lancer around the time of Gears 3
Wdym
i love this dude. i grew up with his creation and he made my childhood memorable. now i'm 33 and waiting for new gears of war game, even though i know he is not working on this game but gears is his creation.
i wish him all the best and healthy long life.
I love your games Cliff, I can't wait to see what you create next.
How great you are Cliff B. You maked a before and after in third-person shooting games. I hope you come back with somethimg magical and spectacular in the form of a triple A Video Game 👾.
Cliffy has A LOT to say but it is a interview after all !! 😂 👏
This pod was great 😂💯❤. Look forward to Cliff doing a new IP
He loves to talk about himself. This podcast were almost a monolgue.
Glad you got humbled, Cliff. You blocked me on social media over telling you how much I loved your games.
Damn Cliff tells his story, 4 minutes in and he has me wide eyed
Cliff is HARDCORE
INSANE ⚙️
I once called him a Lindsay Lohan character. Hi did not take it well.
😆
It seems that the video is not out yet but oddly enough it appeared to me and I’m watching it.
Glad I seen DP3 before this came out
This guy had such a massive ego. I remember the way he would trash talk about players on the XBOX not being able to play his game "lawbreaker" on it as it didn't release and would embarrass himself without even knowing it. I hope he learnt to be humble after that colossal of a disaster.
Yeah, I remember this guy being a grade A asshole as well.
Nice,we need cliffy back for gears man fr...
His book is a fantastic read!
I wonder if it's hard trying to join The Coalition studio. I'd love to work with them in the future
Cliff if you’re reading this I love you
Great podcast
Gears died when cliffy b parted ways

Dude loves to namedrop :D
anyone who watch this and thinks this is a coherent and mature adult need to recheck their values. this was super unhinged.
Good stuff doe! Do some treyarch stuff for da upcomin bo 6, or treyarch devs dat left n what dey think bout bo 6
Or even movies, like interview writer of upcomin gi joe wit transformers movie, or director whoever its gon be cause i dont think dey chose one yet but might be wrong

CLIFFY IS THE FUKN MAN! I was engaged the entire time my god
Go on Kill Tony !!!
I like Cliff but he is like PC edgy. Kind of an NPC to be blunt
A pox on the man.
Cliff B sounds like a old dog 🐶 at this point, cannot teach old dog new tricks…
Old yeller time 😎😮💛🍑🌎
Cliff trying his HARDEST to stay relevant is adorable.
😆
Only reason why the final gears 6 be great if this guy comes in snd fixes everything
holy shit he goes off topic way too often
Alex De Campi is truly a horrible person. I would advise anyone against supporting her work.
Oof. I just read your comment and looked online. Campi sht talking about a fellow comic artist Valerie D’Orazio long after she left the industry. And Campi herself being named dropped in a talented recently deceased cartoonists(Ed Piskor) suicide note. Campi is just unhinged.
Assholes really do attract other assholes, it seems like.
@@SSwormy Dancing on Piskor’s grave is the most recent display her of vindictive bitterness. She’s been at it for a long time. I wasn’t very impressed with Cliff after this either honestly.
@@CC______ Seems the Comics, anime, and Video Games have a problem with sociopaths in the industry. No idea how this happened.
@@SSwormy Me either, things were very different 10 years ago
Elon is the only rich with a brain/heart.
Cliff “the one hit wonder” still as bitter as ever, loves to talk about his tough life.
Cliff someway or another contributed to Fortnite being created 😅
Cliff cool but he is a sensitive lib sometimes
Oof, not a good look Cliffy...

Cliff will forever be a victim
Zzzzz Bully 2? No?? Then go away
Att the end of the video I think cliff is hilarious
