The Cliff Show: Epic's CliffyB Interviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the getting-to-know dept.

Warrior-GS writes "GameSpy has a rather unorthodox video interview with Epic Games designer Cliff Bleszinski. Entitled 'The Cliff Show,' the two-part streaming video takes place entirely in a swimming pool in Cabo, Mexico, during an Atari University event. The 15-minute interview touches on Unreal Tournament 2004 briefly, but also talks about Cliffy's 'gay' dogs, a few odd web sites and the possibility of getting a syndicated gaming show."

    What you want UT to be like Madden and so we have to buy the same fucking game over and over? No thanks. As it is UT2004 is like a mod to UT2003. The whole reason UT was so great was that it was out on its own for years allowing lots of mods and a nice fanbase to build up. If UT2005 comes out and breaks compatibility once again that many less people will be upgrading after the whole UT2003 to UT2004 shuffle.

    Hardly.

    UT2004 is much more than just a mod for UT2003. It takes UT2003, expands upon it, and brings it up to what UT2003 should have been in the first place.

    Assault returning, Onslaught and it's vehicles, vehicle capture the flag, new characters, and the return of the original sniper rifle, as well as the removal of those God awful shoulder lights for teams and the return of colored armor are all things that UT2003 should have had.

    UT2004 feels more like UT than UT2003 did. It's a return to what UT should be, and a divergance from the Quake-ness that UT2003 felt like.

    It's way more than mod to UT2003; it completely erases UT2003 from the face of the Earth for the game that should have been in the first place.

    Hmm, spending time on a Mexican beach with all the amenities. I wonder who's picking up the tab for these "journalists?" Wonder how it'll affect Atari game ratings in the future...

    Do you want to see something really horrendeous? Then head over to Gamespy and download The Cliff Show video starring EPIC's level designer/pimp wannabe CliffyB. In their infinite wisdom the Gamespy journalists thought it might be cool to make a video where they're 'just chillin' homey' with CliffyB in a pool at some Atari press event that was held in Mexico of all places.

    Hey, G-spy (and CliffyB) here's a goddamn clue! Seeing you fucking geeks going MTV on us while you spend other people's money and act all cool; while the rest of us poor bastards sit behind our desks; doesn't strike me as cool. In fact it makes me wish that instead of that nice pool, someone threw your asses in quicksand. That would've been the shortest and the most enjoyable interview ever:

    G-spy journalist (standing in quicksand): So Cliffy... now that we're just chilling here...
    CliffyB (standing in quicksand with him): Hurry up dawg!
    G-spy journalist: Yeah so... Cliffy! Is he telling me to talk to the hand?
    G-spy cameraman: I think he drowned in the quicksand! I don't think his hand is supposed to just twitch like that while the rest of his body is submerged.
    G-spy journalist: Oh hel....... *goes under*
    G-spy cameraman: That's right, wave to the audience, guys! Cutting edge journalism!
