Epic’s Cliff Bleszinski Talks Gears of War 2 At E3 2008
July 31, 2008
During E3 Microsoft hosted a small event at The Last Laugh, a tattoo shop and retail space run by LA-based tattoo artist Mr. Cartoon and street photographer Estevan Oriol, to show off Gears of War 2 and Madden 09 in a more intimate setting. And by intimate setting I mean they had free drinks, freshly made tacos and a lot of killer art. Around the shop Mr. Cartoon had his oil paintings, limited edition sneakers, vinyl figures and even a pair of air brushed tricycles that would set you back nearly three grand a piece all on display. Inside guests got to throw back free drinks and got a chance to talk to Gears of War 2 designer Cliff Bleszinski, Mr. Cartoon, Oriol, actor (and voice of Gears character Augustus Cole) Lester Speight, the Konsole Kingz, hip hop artist Murs and Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg.
I got a chance to catch up with Bleszinski to talk about what he has left to work on before shipping Gears 2, “stepping on other people’s skulls,” and the current state of E3 as a post-apocalyptic ghost town. Hit the jump to watch the video and check out a gallery of photos from the event.
