Gear of war was very beautiful in my life
Same here! My nostalgia for that game hits deep in the heart when I hear its name. I think I managed to put more hours into those games than any others. I played through 1 - 3 on their hardest difficulties both with friends and solo for those achievements. It's unfortunate how the industry changed and what happened to Cliff Bleszinski. I almost feel like GoW was his greatest creation and couldn't maintain that height.
I still follow and try to keep up with Cliffy B. He was the first person I personally remember to be the face of his game on social media.
Gears 6 should be revealed this year I'd say. Maybe it'll comeback near former glory.
I do that from time to time with certain developers. Sometimes I get really curious about what developers from games 20, even 40 years ago are up to now. Sadly a lot of them left the industry and ended up in some other one, or just some sort of producer role elsewhere. There are some good YouTube channels here and there that do documentaries on certain studios/games. There definitely aren't enough of them, but it's so fun to see those stories being told, the ideas they had and the challenges faced. The passion too!
Here's one I saw a few months ago and loved, I wish there were more like it:
I'm sure there are so many similar stories to tell even in today's industry, but in comparison it all just feels so much more closed off.
Thanks for the link. I will watch that sometime soon.
