The Cliff Show: Epic's CliffyB Interviewed
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."
The world needs more interviews like this.
...or maybe...
Tomorrow on Dateline NBC, Matt Lauer interviews Dick Cheney in a vat of Jello(tm).
This week, on Meet the Press: Tim Russert and President Bush have a heart-to-heart in a kiddie pool of rice pudding.

So the real question is.. will we see a UT2005? If so, what will it be like?

No one knows if we'll see a UT2005, but what HAS been announced is "UT2004: Editors Choice Edition". Its gonna be all of UT2004, plus new maps, three new vehicles, six new characters (return of the Necris and MetalGuard AFAIK), and some of the top mods in the community today (Frag Ops, Red Orchestra, and UnWheel are all i've heard of so far). Some people might consider this to be sort of like a "UT2005", though its supposed to be released sometime this fall. At any rate, the good news is all the additional Editors Choice content will be available to UT2004 owners for free. So really, this 'update' is no different from when the original Unreal Tournament was re-released as the "Game of the Year Edition" (GOTY). Same game, only patched with some new toys and a bunch of mods right in the box, for all those people who missed the boat for the original release. :)
So will we ever see a UT2005 or UT2006? The only definitive answer is maybe. Chances are pretty good though, that if there IS an 05 or 06, they'll merely be re-releases with updated content that any existing UT2004 owner can snag for free.
As for a UT2007 (or '08)... now THAT we might have to pay for again. But it'll be a totally new engine (yes, supposedly that swanky new Unreal Engine 3 that has everyone drooling) and game content, so its all good. But we'll just have to see what Epic cooks up for us next. All I know for sure is that, free or not, i'll be there allong with half a million others in the Unreal Legion.
Happy Fragging everyone!
When he was talking about that in part 2, what was the 3rd picture he mentioned. I have never heard of that one... If you can't give me a link, directions to google searching would work :p
Actually, I think that if they do make a new Unreal Tournament game, it's probably going to be using the new Unreal 3 engine. And CliffyB has said in one of his video inteviews with IGN that Epic is not going to release a new UT game every year to scrape the money pot.
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!

They didn't even finish the image list :
Looking for quality journalism in the gaming industry's TV media outlets is like looking for a replacement bank security guard at an Ex-Convict Social. You just aren't going to find it unless you lie to yourself about what you're looking at.
The fact that television provides has potential to provide much higher presentation levels than print magazines or to a lesser-extent, gaming sites, lends the media in general to buddy up with the companies that produce products they cover.
But will it run on my Phantom? :-P

How was the above comment three times more overrated than it was rated? Which is to say it only got a single +1 and then had a grand total of -3 taken off.
This moderation system makes absolutely no sense.
