Cliff Bleszinski to Premiere New Game This Thursday
Epic Games’ design director Cliff Bleszinski is scheduled to unveil the developer’s highly anticipated new title this Thursday on the popular US talk show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, says the show’s host, you guessed it, Jimmy Fallon.
“Game designer Cliff Bleszinski (@therealcliffyb) debuts his new game on Late Night next Thur. Set your TiVos! And your Xboxes.”
Now, there could be two possible candidates for this, the way we see it. On one end we have the heavily rumored third installment in the Gears of War series which Edge has reported to be revealed via trailer on April 8 which happens to be the exact day Bleszinski is to appear on the show. To add more fuel to the speculation, Jimmy Fallon says “Xboxes” and not simply “consoles” which suggests the game will be an Xbox 360 exclusive. Also worth mentioning is Cliffy B’s comment on the UFC game he attended following Jimmy’s tweet: “Did I just get… Blood on me?” OK, we might be looking a bit too much into this whole thing but it’s an interesting possibility.
On the other end we have another shooter known to be worked on by Epic Games studio People Can Fly which is set to be published by Electronic Arts in early 2011.
Making the second game a less likely candidate is that it’s probably going to be a multi-platform title and since Jimmy makes no mention of other consoles, we are putting our money on Gears of War 3.
What game do you think will be shown on Thursday?
I don’t thing I would play my cards by what Jimmy Fallon say’s
I think it’ll be a Gears Spinoff… not Gears 3, but Gears something or other… just like what bungie did with ODST, it could even be a prequel to Gears 1? who knows lol…I think it is Gears of War something because it just wouldn’t be as big otherwise, but not big enough to be a direct sequel to Gears 2
I think it would be a bad choice to make a prequel or a spin-off at this point, just as we learned a lot of new interesting tidbits in Gears of War 2, especially with regard to Marcus’ father. If it’s a spin-off, then people would just forget about that by the time numero 3 releases. Gotta keep the momentum going (despite the 2+ year pause) :).
its Gears of War 3: The Dawn of Armaggedon
