Cliff Blesiznski is the lead designer for Gears of War, helping to craft the game all the way back in 2006. With the remastered edition launching on Xbox One yesterday, Blesiznski took to Twitter to share some facts you may not of realized about Gears of War.
The facts range from Blesiznski explaining features of both the male and female characters, to laser guns and how the sadness came out of a failed first marriage.
It isn’t hard to admit that Gears of War is a highly regarded game series amongst the critics, and one of the most influential third person shooters to release within the last decade. With the remasters coming to the Xbox One, will you be replaying the series?
Either way, you can follow Mr. Blesiznski on Twitter @therealcliffyb , and take a look at (some of) the tweets below.
I never asked for buff characters. Kevin Lanning just made it that way with the AD Jerry. #GearsFacts

Anya originally had huge boobs but I pushed back on Pete to make her less cartoony. Ironic, considering the guys. #GearsFacts

We had a laser gun planned but we decided for Vietnam like tech so it was cut you can see it in an early image of Marcus. #GearsFacts

The style of Gears’ architecture came from my exhaustion of concrete bunkers and Jerry’s hatred of hazard striping. #GearsFacts

In hindsight, the Berserker being female and being chained down for breeding is really fucked up. I was in a dark place. #GearsFacts
