CliffyB is Cool
So say I. Doesn’t take himself too seriously and has some interesting thoughts on game development. He blogged a while back about horror games and wanting to do one himself. I’m not sure to what extent Gears of War has frightening elements though it sounds like there will be some. Anyhow, nice interview here on Gamasutra. It’s a face-to-face interview that flows nicely unlike your typically flat email interviews. Great quote here too:
GS: I like that arc on the grenade [in Gears Of War].
CB: My logic here is that we give you a cursor for your gun, why not give you an arc for your grenade? If you’re a soldier, and you’re going to have a good idea of the weight of the thing, and how far it’s going to go, so why not just give you a visual indication of it?
GS: How would you do that with the Nintendo Revolution?
CB: Just throw the controller at the screen.
