July 11th 2008 00:19
Epic's Cliff Bleszinski has turned from his original critisism of the latest Metal Gear Solid game, showing appreciation for the lengthy cutscenes.
This is a different angle than taken earlier, where he had said that “Metal Gear Solid is our example of the game we’re not doing. Passive entertainment is on its way out.” In his latest interview, the media machine Cliff Bleszinski praises the cut scenes and their popularity with gamers. Bleszinski adds, "the kind of scenes they do in MGS4 are phenomenal. I think it has the best sound and real-time [cut scenes] I've seen in the industry and since they're the best at what they do, players love it."
He goes on to say "It's the hallmark of the series - the camera angles and dramatic scenes and it's really taking film-making to this new digital level," but does clarify his original intent by stating that he personally prefers shorter cutscenes.
Although acknowledging the fans positive response to Metal Gears' in game movie, he moves to assure us that we won't be seeing them "in the kind of games we do, the cut scenes are around three to four minutes on average. It just says what needs to be said and moves on to letting you actually play the game."
So no in game movie for the next Gears Of War... Although with Cliff Bleszinski's softening on his originally tough stance, who can say what we will see in Gears 4?
