Former Epic Games creator Cliff Bleszinski teased fans about his next game since he left 'Gears of War' and announced about his new virtual reality headset from Valve and HTC during the recently concluded PAX East. Game will be released in Xbox One, revealed by Xbox head.
Reportedly, former 'Gears of War 4' and Epic Games creator announced about the release of his next game title and at the same time expressed his amazement to the virtual reality headset that seemed to compare to a "Disneyland" experience.
He said in an interview with GameSpot, having a virtual reality headset will be a good thing as the Oculus VR is no longer a trend in the market nowadays, since Bleszinski will have his next title "Project Bluestreak" that revolved around virtual reality.
Based from sources, Project Bluestreak is a code name for Cliff Bleszinski's new form of gaming, as described. It was also mentioned that this is suited for the new era for shooting games because of the free-to-play gaming system.
Nowadays, in every game upgrades, usually game developers will announce pre-orders, upgrades, and so on associated with some amount for each. This trend contrasted Bleszinski's beliefs of having a free game for gamers without really compromising the quality of experience that each of them could have.
This was also the same reason why he left the Epic Games while developing 'Gears of War' because of its costly game development. He was tired making the game [because of the contrasted beliefs]. The said game series used to be a big title and unique for this new era of gaming. He has also mentioned before that in each game, it usually it would reach around $60 just for the additions required for an optimal gaming for users who wish to upgrade gaming experience.
Regarding Bleszinski's free-to-play gaming system -- well-known genre for his shooting games like the former, Gears of War series -- he also appllied this same system to his next title with BossKey Productions, "Project Bluestreak."
For this particular game, it was mentioned that the creator wished to make a free-to-play game and at the same time hasn't compromised the upgrades needed.
However, there were also doubts if the game developer could really make a shooting game free for all users alike. If so, it would be more likely a signal to dawn the new model for a game under a free-to-play development that other game developers would also consider.
Bleszinski said that gaming shouldn't be costly. Instead, as a game developer, he hinted that it should be the task to create a certain community where money making will revolve around unless already established, by saying, "Go build a fantastic game and a community around it, and we'll work on figuring out how to make it hopefully make a lot of money" during his interview with PC Gamer.
On the other side, official trailer for "Project Bluestreak" is already available with pre-alpha footage. But, it doesn't show the details about the game as Bleszinski hasn't said any word about the entire game information yet as of the moment.
Meanwhile, 'Gears of War 4' has no official date of release yet. But it will be launched in Xbox One platform. Fans guessed that it would be announced during the E3 2015 by June. After the former creator left, Black Tusk replaced in its development.
Until now, there was still uncertainty about the progress, not even the official launching of the game. But recently, Xbox head Phil Spencer hinted about the "massive progress" for 'Gears of War 4,' so it might be released earlier this year.
He said, "The thing was great for about the early Gears of War games, to me [was] just the epic scale of the settings I was in ... The story, the setting, was a lot more what I could call soulful and maybe even a little dark."
He also mentioned about Rod Fergusson's spot to replace former GM of Microsoft Studios UK, Hanno Lemke and his resonsibility linked to the said position for the continuation of 'Gears of War 4' development. "And [Rod Fergusson] and I have talked about this; I think the game over time became almost more of a parody of itself; not for any kind of horrible reasons..."
