My mouth literally dropped reading the title.

 

[subversus]

Kickstarter incoming

 

[Hoo-doo]

this is no different to port begging.

I seriously hope you're joking.

Anyway, good luck on all your future endeavors, Cliff!
I'd like to see you present your new game on a Playstation keynote for a change. Make it happen.

 

[Sadist]

Huh. Well that's surprising.

 

[Anteater]

Cliffy joins Platinum games.

Bayonetta 2: Bleszinetta

 

[alr1ght]

Look at all dat wheat

 

[AHA-Lambda]

omg wtf?! D:

Best of luck to him with whatever he does now, but damn this came out of nowhere.

 

[Joe]

I barely follow games anymore and I'm not surprised at all he left....


Ever since he said this:

One of the options I've thought of was what if I left Epic right now, and became a consultant to help Japanese developers make games that are more Western-friendly -- not only from an IP perspective, but also from the game mechanics and features perspective. I could seriously have a very healthy consulting gig doing that, right?

I knew some some shit was gonna go down. That statement seemed very odd to me. I took it as public contract negotiating.

 

[brochiller]

Had a conversation with Cliff at the Gearbox party at Hotel Figueroa party during E3 this year, and yes I saw this coming.

Something to do with Gearbox then?

 

[Mrbob]

I don't think he leaves mega publisher to join another mega publisher. So I don't see a move to MS.

Sounds like he is taking some time off to recharge, and when he comes back I bet it is in the mobile space.

I could see him join Kojima Productions in some capacity, though.

Whatever you do in the future, good luck Cliffy!

Edit: See a couple posts above.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Would be epic lol if he goes to Sony!

and exciting

 

[fluffydelusions]

We can only pray.

That would be a megaton

Duke Nukem Revival.

 

[Muffdraul]

Holy shit.

Holy Fucking Shit.

I bet Capcom would love to hire him in a heartbeat.

 

[keltickennedy]

See what Skyrim does to people!!!!!!!

 

[black_vegeta]

Best wishes at Nintendo Cliff.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Naughy Dog or Insomniac?

Decisions decisions.

 

[funkystudent]

Best of look Cliffy.


Cant wait to see your iOS game.

 

[GlamFM]

Joins Capcom, they want to go "all the way" with RE7.

 

[WinFonda]

He will join Naughty Dog to work on Uncharted 4. He will give Drake a chainsaw and gear him up in rugged football (nfl) gear. Drake will get a new sidekick replacing Sully: Cully Fenix. Cully "Look at all dat bling bling treasure" Fenix will introduce campaign co-op to the series. Drake will also have a three way with Cully and Elena at the end. The game will sell 20 million copies.

 

[Odrion]

Not really surprising when you remember everything he said that is wrong about modern games, and how Epic's been doing exactly that.

 

[Metalmurphy]

That's a shame.

I hope the iPad hasn't taken another victim.

I hope he joins Valve and Gabe gives him a team to make his skyrim FPS clone or whatever it was that he wanted to make. It could be good, and I wouldn't have to worry about it releasing as some ultra dumb RPG from a prestigious RPG series.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Best of look Cliffy.

Joining Molyneux!

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Damn, this was unexpected. The man is truly a great game designer and I wish him luck.

 

[Raide]

Well, at least Cliff knows how to get third person movement and shooting right, so RE7 will be golden.

 

[Xater]

That is surprising. Kinda expect him to have his own studio within a year though.

 

[Nibel]

He should try to kickstart that horror game he wanted to make

Has anyone mentioned Cliffy B stealing that gaffer's girlfriend yet? Good times. XD

 

[Anteater]

Finally, an opportunity to put that "cornfields" jpeg folder to use

That's not corn.

Joins Capcom, reboots Resident Evil. Shootbang in yo ass.

 

[Typographenia]

Wow, that came out of nowhere. I can't wait to see what he does next.

 

[KdMgMan]

I really hope he stays the game industry in some way.

I hope Cliff starts his own studio to make some mega RPG of doom!

 

[maniac-kun]

Never liked that guy.

 

[wsippel]

Cliffy joins Platinum games.

Cliffy and Nintendo SPD could be the best thing ever, but would probably result in the most horrendous trainwreck of all time.

 

[Raide]

Hrmm...he said he wanted to do Survival Horror, so he might be able to make one and make it have great combat! Win Win!

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Cliff, Carmack, Kojima + VR Goggles. BELIEVE!

 

[Dicer]

Can't wait to see him at NOA...

 

[Crawl]

Cliffy b leaves EPIC. and isn't seen till he comes out with iD software on Stage at the VGA's to the NWO theme song with black and white NWO t shirts that say Quake V on the back.

New World Order!

 

[Data West]

Naughy Dog or Insomniac?

Decisions decisions.

I imagine he'd want to work on something different rather than a worse version of his own game.

Hrmm...he said he wanted to do Survival Horror, so he might be able to make one and make it have great combat! Win Win!

He also said he loved Vanquish and SOTD and wanted to consult on Japanese games. Two Mikami games. Maybe he's looking at consulting with Tango, at least temporarily.

 

[1-D_FTW]

some quotes from his recent ama:

Cliffy is good peeps. Should be interesting to see where he goes next.

 

[Trevelyon]

Only one man can whip that team ICO into shape.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Jazz Jackrabbit 3?

 

[SmokyDave]

this is no different to port begging.

Ignoring the bit where it's completely different, I agree.
