Speaking in an interview on Planet Gears of War, Epic Games Vice President Mark Rein and Lead Designer Cliff Bleszinski have been discussing the game’s upcoming update, the power of the Xbox 360 and plans for a PC version of Gears.
“The first update we do will be some housekeeping to take care of a few things we need to adjust,” said Rein. “We hope to have that in the pipeline before too long. Unfortunately the certification group at Microsoft shuts down relatively early in December so we’re racing against the clock to try to get it finished and certified for release through the Xbox Live update system.“
Asked about how hard Gears pushes the power of the Xbox 360, Bleszinski noted that “future Epic and Unreal Engine titles will be even more beautiful and compelling on the platform.” Rein added, “… we pushed the 360 as hard as we knew how to push it during the development of Gears but, even as principle tech development on Gears finished this fall, we’ve already identified areas of improvement and further optimization we can make on Xbox360.“
And what of Gears of War for the PC? Rein said that this is something they’ve always considered a possibility for the future, but noted that “there’s nothing to announce at this time… For now however Gears is available exclusively on Xbox360 and we’re still working on improvements and enhancements to it.“
