Not that video game lovers needed another reason to tune into the Spike TV Video Game Awards, but Epic Games is giving us one. Epic Games Design Director Cliff Bleszinski announced some exciting gameplay that’s “not what you’re expecting” from the much loved shooter series. “Cliffy B” isn’t giving out more than that, but has shot down rumors that Microsoft’s Kinect motion control would be used.

Epic Games Design Director Cliff Bleszinski, known better as Cliffy B to his fans, wants people to know that neither game makers or gamers are warped.

He told the BBC that the blood and violence in the famous Gears of War series is really about “feedback and interactivity” for the player. Cliffy B said Gears is inspired by his love of ’80s action thrillers including Predator and Aliens . So it’s no surprise the Gears games draw heavily from sci-fi cliches. A musclebound squad of alpha males are humanity’s only hope against a cadre of ugly, lizard-like aliens known as the Locust Horde.

These days, it seems like every disgruntled employee for a major developer is complaining about his or her job.

The road from videogame-to-film adaptation seldom runs smoothly. The attempts to put Gears of War on the big screen have had several major setbacks. At San Diego Comic Con 2010, Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski said the whole thing is being reworked. Cinema Blend reports on the reworkings, coming from problems New Line Cinema is having with the project.

In April 2010, director Len Wiseman (Underworld) bowed out of the troubled project. Bleszinski said New Line Cinema has concerns about funding a $100 million project with an “R” rating and no romance.

Video game fans will have to wait a couple of days to see what charismatic game designer Cliff Bleszinski will unveil on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. CliffyB has delayed his appearance until April 12, 2010…

It can be hard for late-night talk show hosts to figure out their particular niche (jusk ask Conan O’ Brien) but NBC host Jimmy Fallon is the undisputed king of late-night video game coverage. He has challenged Tiger Woods to a Wii golf match, aired a lengthy display of Project Natal’s capabilities and even done video game oriented comedy segments. My favorite was a Kobe Bryant basketball simulation without a passing button.

Now Epic game designer Cliff “Cliffy B” Bleszinski is going to reveal a new video game on the April 8, 2010, episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Speculation is that it will be…

After much speculation, rumors and even a debunked article from Gamepro Magazine, it has finally been confirmed by Microsoft at the Game Developers Conference 2008, which is currently being held in San Francisco, that Gears of War 2 is defiantly in the works.

Better yet, fans of 2006 game of the year won’t have to wait too long as Microsoft stated that Gears of War 2 would be released November 2008.
