Cliffy B: Not One, But Two Game Reveals On Monday!



What do you do when your (not-so-)surprise game announcement is accidentally announced by someone else beforehand? You plan to announce another one, if you're Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski.

CliffyB, as he is perhaps better known (to his great chagrin) was all set to announce a new game [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/99661-Cliffy-B-Wont-Bring-a-Weapon-to-Announce-New-Game] on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night - however, scheduling conflicts (and a desire on Epic's end for some additional last-minute polish) led to a reschedule, with the announcement planned for Monday.

However, apparently nobody told Microsoft's Xbox Live team [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/99838-Microsoft-Accidentally-Unveils-Gears-of-War-3], and the wholly-unexpected (and good God am I being sarcastic) Gears of War 3 was accidentally revealed before CliffyB could do it himself. But with the wind taken out of his sails, was Epic's frontman just going to give up?

Come on. Would Marcus Fenix give up?

Instead, Bleszinski is just going to make the announcement spicier by announcing not one, but two games! That's according to his Twitter account [http://twitter.com/therealcliffyb/statuses/11900944054], anyway: "NEWSFLASH: Two announcements about two upcoming games on Monday. BOOM!"

The other game could really be anything (Unreal 4? Jazz Jackrabbit? Gears of War HeartGold Version?) but is most likely People Can Fly's long-rumored title Bulletstorm. But that's just speculation, so don't hold us to that. Instead, hold Game Informer to it, since that's the game on the cover of next month's issue.

I seriously hope it's a new Jackrabbit.

I grew up playing Id games instead of UT, but I still like CliffyB.

Oh for God's sake. JUST ANNOUNCE UNREAL 4.
Yeah, pretty much this.

Hopefully it won't stink as much as 3, and rock more like UT2004

I agree!

...

Actually now that I read what I just quoted... maybe they should do Unreal 3 first. :)
But yeah, I'd love Unreal 3!

Did Epic publish Shadow Complex? Maybe a sequel to that would be cool.
If they turned that into a full game I'd have to change my pants...

IMO it was a full game, it took me like 25 hours or something to beat.

I still haven't bought Shadow Complex yet... I must buy it...

OT: I've tried Shadow Complex so a sequel would be awesome.

That sounds Epic games like.

Some one take the flare out of your sunrise? Add more Dakka.

What a coincidence, I just got that issue of Game Informer out of my mailbox not 10 minutes ago.

Am I the only one that liked UT3? I think the reason that it didn't succeed like UT2K4 was that there were so many people still playing UT2K4 and didn't want to give up all their mods. I think if more modders had switched to UT3 it would have been just as successful as UT2K4.

Now, if they were to take UT2K4 and just update the Graphics and have it run on the latest Unreal Engine, I'd buy it right away.
