In an interview with UK gaming magazine Xbox World 360, Gears of War 2 designer Cliff Bleszinski said:
“We’re basically at the 85/90% polish stage right now, doing some last minute optimisations. I boot the game up every morning and go through campaign mode, making sure it’s all stitched together and batshit insane.”
You can’t very well have a Gears of War 2 interview without anyone dropping a Gears of War 3 hint. Talking about the colors in the Xbox 360 FPS series, Mr. Bleszinski was quoted saying:
“We kind of actively aimed for the de-saturated look, but its since become de riguer for this generation of games. I think that’s why something like Mirror’s Edge has become kind of like an oasis in the desert of E3 - ‘Look! There’s a red crate! I love you!’
We actually have a little more colour in Gears of War 2 - reds, oranges. Hopefully you’ve noticed. What I can tell you is that if there was a Gear of War 3 it’ll be a total disco town: purples, pinks and greens everywhere!”
Gears of War 2 will launch worldwide on November 7, 2008. Microsoft Corporate VP of Global Marketing and Interactive Entertainment Business Jeff Bell stated in late 2006 that Gears of War is the first in a trilogy. Perhaps Gears of War 3 will follow another two years later in November 2010?
