Gears of War creator CliffyB says series needs a God of War style reboot
Cliff Bleszinski, the creator behind the Gears of War series, has suggested the games get a God of War-style reboot. Oh, and that Xbox just needs to give him a call.
Speaking with Comic Book about his upcoming comic Scrapper, conversation turned to the shooter series. Bleszinski said he could consult on any ideas Microsoft may have for the series, and suggested it could get a «little bit of a reboot, like God of War» had in 2018.
«I've always said, Phil Spencer has my number,» he told the publication. «I'm happy to consult. Gears will always be near and dear to my heart.»
The creator went on to reminisce about the series as a whole, stating he often likes to watch key Gears of War cutscenes on YouTube with a mimosa in hand.
«I've said this in other interviews, but I'm friends with Karen Gillan from Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy, and Doctor Who and all that, absolute sweetheart. We had lunch with her at GalaxyCon recently in Raleigh. And the thing is, there's a scene where, Doctor Who, Matt, and Karen take Vincent van Gogh to the Musée d'Orsay, through the TARDIS and time travel and whatnot,» he said on somewhat of a tangent.
«Vincent van Gogh lived a tortured life. He believed his work was terrible. He struggled to sell a painting. And then for him to see his impact. And then Matt, the Doctor, grabs Bill Nighy, not the science guy, the British actor. Bill does this amazing monologue, and the actor who looks just like Vincent just starts losing it and the music starts swelling. Every time I watch that scene, man, I just get totally fucking misty-eyed because, yeah, I like money. Who doesn't? I like to eat prime rib steak and sushi sometimes, but you just want to know that your work makes [an impact].»
