Put down that razor, don't swallow that poison and for the love of God pull that hosepipe full of carbon monoxide out from your car window! Cliffy "Don't call me Cliffy B" B has revealed to the world that he is not yet burned out on Gears of War, despite wanting to explore fresh IP. The world sighs a collective breath of relief.
"There have only been two Gears games," sensationally reveals Cliffy while talking to OXM. "There are still plenty of opportunities for things you can do in a cover-based shooter and there are still a lot of stories to tell in the Gears universe.
"I'm not burned out with the franchise at all. But there are tradeoffs. With an established IP, you're not saying, 'are we going to do cover?' and 'who is this Cole Train guy?' It's all there - the writer writes and it's a known entity. But with a new IP, it's raw and wide open. It's like solving a giant puzzle in your head, and it's great.
Cliffy also says that he doesn't ever want to work on a licensed game, stating that he would "go out and put a shotgun in his mouth" if he was forced to. I won't attempt to pre-empt any jokes you want to make about giving Cliffy a sawn-off and the source code for Iron Man 2.

Don't you mean Unreal Championship 3?
wouldn't that be Unreal Championship 3?
Gears is shit anyway, the campaigns are ok but the multi is ALWAYS broken, I loved how they lied to the consumers saying they fixed everything and Gears 2 ended up having every single glitch Gears 1 did and a bunch of brand new ones.
No, I don't want another random Unreal Championship game because the first was trash, I want a sequel to Unreal Championship 2. So I want an Unreal Championship 2 2.
You got it sister!
Gears 2 is a shitload, wait, 10 shitloads of fun.
O love the SP and MP, and tou Sony fanboys will babble everywhere,
