[Giard]

Good luck to him.

 

[S1kkZ]

first rob fergusson, now cliff.

 

[gofreak]

Sounds like he's taking a break for personal commitments? I'm sure he'll be back though eventually, with a new studio perhaps.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

He's going to China!

 

[LiK]

megaton

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Cilffy pls.

 

[charsace]

Damn. Big blow to Epic. Wish Cliffy B the best.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Good luck to Cliffy. I wonder if he is taking a break or starting something new besides games.

 

[onlyindreams]

RIP Epic

 

[Red Blaster]

Please make a spiritual successor to Jazz Jackrabbit called Jack Jazzrabbit

 

[Flame Lord]

Well...

 

[StuBurns]

Really surprised by this, thought he was well on his way to being that 'power creative' he has been talking about.

Oh well, all the best with whatever he has planned next.

 

[catotheyounger]

Very interested to see where EPIC goes from here, design-wise. Cliff has helped define its game design philosophy for nearly a decade.

 

[whitehawk]

I hope Cliff comes into this thread and clears up any confusion. What are you doing cliff? Forming your own studio? Taking a long vacation?

 

[BibiMaghoo]

I bet a weeks ban he is working for microsoft within 6 months.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Huge.

Even if I'm not a fan of most of Epic's latest output, he was still an integral part of many of my favorite games of all time. Good luck in your future endeavors!

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Can't wait for Chainsaw with Friends.

 

[MrCunningham]

Oh no

Spoiler

said Microsoft

.

So what's next for Cliff?

Microsoft could always hire him and put him in charge of his own team. He'd be a good fit.

 

[Patryn]

Surprised it's happening now. Would have figured a more natural time would have been after Gears 3 shipped.

Finishing something up?

But, yeah, this is kind of huge. Kind of the public face of that company.

 

[Corky]

Jazz iOS.

 

[WinFonda]

Besides the teeth. He is so hawt.

Idc idc

uh, what's wrong with his teeth?

 

[Grisby]

Damn. Thanks Cliff for the good Gears memories. One of my favorite series!

Best of luck.

 

[SolarPowered]

Bombs be dropping yo.

 

[hiryu64]

Spoiler

#gamechanger

 

[brochiller]

Good luck to him. I look forward to see what he comes up with in the future.

 

[Seda]

All I can say is whoa.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Going to MS' 343i equivalent for Gears. Calling it now. "COG studios"

 

[Hato-kun]

Unexpected.

 

[Fracas]

Damn.

 

[hwy_61]

Anyone think he'll form his own studio?

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Whoa, this really came out of nowhere .

 

[Dorfdad]

Hes joining Nintendo to design Wii-U games ...

/internet melts..

 

[Jb]

Holy shit. I guess he's setting up his own shop, right?

 

[Dance Inferno]

Whoah! Unexpected! Good luck to him wherever he goes, he's a talented guy.

 

[Clydefrog]

He's gonna run for president

 

[Palette Swap]

What. Totally unexpected. Seriously.

 

[TTP]

Isn't Kojima creating a new studio in US, California?

 

[ScreenSplitter]

His games are pretty good, but he's always come off as a bit of a prick to me. Good luck to the guy and everything, just hope he doesn't go off on one when someone gives his next game an 8/10/.

 

[Timan]

K wheres the drama, what happened! GAF must know...

 

[StriKeVillain]

Best of lucky to Cliffy - he'll be successful no matter where he moves to.

 

[RustyNails]

Dude's rolling in piles of money anyways. He can set up 10 different shops. Good for him.

 

[Fragamemnon]

for the super old school pc gamers around here. A classic CliffyB moment from the pre-console PC heydays.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

That megaton just blew the doors off.

Where is our Clifford going?!?

 

[chertipros]

All I can say is whoa.

This makes me miss jazz jackrabbit :/ And Imma miss cliffy too. Best of luck to him and epic. They seem to have had alot of key members leaving lately

 

[Pachterballs]

I am shocked. won't lie.

 

[Squire]

Going to Polygon.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Who will we blame for all the things we don't like in the next Gears installment NOW!?

 

[GatorFan]

Joining Polygon. You heard it here first folks.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

figured he would ride epic into the sunset.

interesting turn of events.

 

[ultron87]

Never again.

Good luck Cliff!
