Cliffy B Turned Down Offer From Hideo Kojima to Work on Silent Hill(s)
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
It's funny, because Cliffy B might be someone who at one point you could have said was also in the running for someone who is adverse to good PR.
I would have been cool with that team up. Both men are distinct personalities within the industry, and both are quite adept at crafting unique experiences and building atmosphere; at least visually.
In the very least I would expect the game to be more playable and less janky than the last few SH games.
Regardless of how some around here feel about Gears of War and other Epic Games IPs, Bleszinski is a talented designer.
Though, some of the worst maps in the original Unreal Tournament were made by him, so I can't give him too much credit.
How does one confuse Bleszinski with Orth?
The most Bleszinski ever said was that Orth may not have been far off the mark in predicting an "always online" future for many devices. He didn't say Orth was completely right, nor that he was justified in insulting console gamers, just that always online devices may be an inevitability.

I don't even like the guy and even I'm surprised by the sheer degree of seething, unbridled hatred the man gets around here. It's embarrassing.AzrealMaximillion said:

I think we can at least assume he wouldn't have turned the series into pachinko machines. So there's that...
Uh, that was Adam Orth.Darks63 said:

It was, but let's not let FACTS derail the Hate Train.kiri3tsubasa said:
Man, people love to hate on this guy, but he really brought some great games forth. Kinda sad to just see people jump on board of a hate train for him. He sounds like a great guy anytime I've ever read about him. He just has this down to earth kinda feel in terms of being real with who he is.
Reading his quote though that he would've fucked it up, I took it that he would've torn it up, given the way he usually talks. But I guess it was the other way.

Gotta admit that this is true. There was a level in the original GoW set at night in a raging storm (appropriately named Downpour), and it still remains one of the most engrossing and atmospheric levels I've run across in a game. I just wish that the game could've indulged itself more often in that sort of display.The Wooster said:
I remember I got so salty trying to beat the final Gears 1 boss on Insane that I figured out how to glitch him out so he got stuck behind a wall and just blasted him. Good times
Here is 3 stories where he raged about the retraction of the always online but dont let that get in the way of your passive aggressive snarky jabs at me.Vigormortis said:I would have been cool with that team up.

Raged? His tweets seemed pretty straightforward and calm to me. In fact, some of them even came true. Hell, he even laughed at the audacity of one of the MS reps saying "if you're offline get a 360". He wasn't agreeing with the statement. He was laughing at the absurdity of it.Darks63 said:
Where again was it that he "raged at" and "insulted" console gamers like Adam Orth did? Your links really don't support your claim. If anything, they refute it.
And just for clarity's sake: I still don't like the guy, but the unbridled and undeserved hate he gets around here just makes me embarrassed to be associated with this forum.
Especially when it's CliffyB of all people. It's almost like Trump being gracious in defeat in a political debate. Impressive, but rather rare.Quellist said:
Of all the people to ask... I'm glad Cliff declined though. It would be fantastic if Kojima and Del Torro collaborated on anything, really.
The picture is from almost twenty years ago. I honestly don't know why that's the one used, except maybe in a "Do you really think this guy can handle Silent Hill?" But even then, I think this picture does a better job of explaining why he'd be a bad fit for the series:Xsjadoblayde said:
The first thing that entered my head reading this article and associated thread, is how fucked up are people in this world that basic humility and understanding of ones' abilities, strengths and weaknesses is something that must be recognized and praised. I mean come on, we have fucking morons like Kanye West who just spew non-stop self aggrandizing bullshit, we make the dumbest people famous and throw money at them.
What, is it so hard to just recognize you aren't god's gift every once in a while?
(apologies for OTT bitterness)

Though even to this day he's cursed with Douche Face. Again, can't place why, but I just have this inexplicable urge to give him a black eye from merely looking at his mug. Doesn't help that he's a hack, but even without that he's got an insufferable visageMysticSlayer said:The picture is from almost twenty years ago.

Its so sad to see. This attitude of hating Cliffy B started when Gears of War came out. People hate on that series for being the most popular "grimdark untraviolence" game when that's what all the AAA games were going for at the time.Mr.Pandah said:
Its also sad because I bet those same haters loved playing UT, Doom, and Quake growing up. The hate for Cliffy B is all essentially "he makes games I don't like because I feel I'm a 'Grown Up Gamer' even though I watch Gaurdians of the Galaxy."
