I don't know, Black. Unreal was in essence the typical Doom/Quake clone but powered by fantastic technology. Tournament was the take on Arena shooters like Quake 3. Gears of War was a 3rd person shooter heavily influenced by RE4.Nah, the game industry took a loss today. In interviews, Cliffy STILL has the enthusiasm of a new guy! He's still got more ideas in the can than people ever cook up their entire career. I remember this one interview where he was talking about a concept for survival horror where the entire mechanic is that the monster is active the second you look away. You're constantly looking over your shoulder!
Cliffy is AMAZING, and I'm sorry to see him go. Good luck to your life, Cliffy. You've earned whatever rest you get. Just don't stay away too long, hear?
The point im trying to make here, is that the products he was involved as a creator while solid ones are heavily inspired by others. He wouldn't probably been able to come with that stuff by himself. So all the ideas he might have never materialized, he is very good at iterating and improving what already exists.
I am really curious of what he is after now, i don't really see the point of him departing been still so young.
