Could the Gears of War franchise finally be getting its first playable female character? …maybe. It’s the weekend, “real” news doesn’t happen.
Speaking with 1 vs. 100 LIVE host Chris Cashman during the August 1st live game, Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski, better known to gamers as “Cliffy B”, “The Cliffster” and “Captain Snugglepuff”* was asked if gamers could ever expect to play as a female character in a Gears of War game. Cliff’s answer, in short, was that he could not comment on “possible aspects” of a game that “may or may not” be in development.
Typical.
However he did quickly follow that comment by mentioning the female Gear that is sitting on the head of a slain Brumak (image above) for the cover of a Gears of War comic book and saying that she “may or may not” be involved in any “as-yet-unannounced” video game projects.
Now we all know there is going to be a Gears of War 3. It hasn’t been announced officially yet, but considering how incredibly popular the first two were, a third one is inevitable.
*Don’t ask.
Popularity: unranked [?]

She looks like Joanna Dark (Perfect Dark)
But yeah whatever new characters is always good
Even as a female gamer, I think that’s more or less the worst idea Captain Snugglepuff has ever had. Gears of War’s overwhelming machismo is an enormous part of what makes it work. Introducing a female character is only going to (inevitably) burden the game with unnecessary sentimentality. No thanks. Let’s hope this is nothing more than a misunderstood comment.
@tarryn it’s just a rumor not a confirmation i don’t think it’s going to happen just a rumor EVERYONE!!!!!!
not true or false not confirmed either so don’t go crazy
people it’s just a rumor
If they do introduce a female character, I don’t see anything wrong with that. As a female gamer yourself you would think you would like the idea of a strong female character in a such a popular game. I know I would welcome that idea but that’s just the way I feel about it.
what r u gay?
ok now that statement practically confirms it to me, but i doubt it will be announced any time soon.
since that cliffy said that gears 2 was using 100% of the UR3 engines power, i cant see them using it for gears 3.
and the only engine i know there working on is UR4 thats not due to finish till mid next year.
i would say gears 3 would be out november 2010 at the earliest.
but hope im wrong gears 2 is one of my favorite games.
Her boobs like like Human Female boobs in World of Warcraft.
Yeah, Dill.. Great example
ok i likley doubt that this wiill even be comming this generation of consoles because well using ue3 it’s going to
look bad and there not even finish with ue4 yet and cliffy
must be getting scared because sony has two games that look
like there going to give gears hell (quantum & uncharted)
that exsplains why he is talking about a playable female
to: theunleashed666.. u must be joking right?? why would epic care about quantum or uncharted.. the gears franchise has spun off comics, books, toys, and numerous other products, not to mention the possible movie adaptation.. not to mention the ACTUAL GAME outselling BOTH of those games combined under the table.. I think you’ve got it confused sir.. or should I refer to you as demon!!!!
@dave ok another 360 fanboy you really haven’t played game in a long time have you uncharted 2 was the game of show at
e3 dumbass plus it’s highly anticipated to so i would shut
my mouth if i was you and cliffy likes uncharted so what
fucking rock you came from also quantum is being anticipated as well so shut up and it’s pretty obvious all the sudden he’s talking about a playable female similar to
quantum having a playable female and tecmo makes great titles ng,doa,fatal frame,rygar,plus some hints of new ip’s so please be quiet you are just a fanboy who has nothing else to do but insult everyone who doesn’t give a damn of what you are any 360 fanboy thinks because he’s too busy whineing about who’s the better console i,m a fan of gears of war but you are pathetic 360 fanboy idiocy with no knowlege or intelligence.
you are just a fanboy who has nothing else to do but insult everyone.
wow… looks like you have alot of time on your hands too.
actually i’ve have high school tommarrow next a street fighter tournament plus karate lessons so i have plenty to do oh fanboys are so nice but it’s just sad like a troll like you to insult me and any fanboy but i’ll take it as a
complement but what are you OH wait you are a troll with no
life so thank you for the love letter troll
heh.. unleashed666.. anyone notice how IT never mentions sales which was the whole point of my reply.. sure uncharted 2 looks great.. will probably be a good game.. and yet sales will not be great.. that’s the ps3 for you.. look at the first uncharted or little big planet for proof.. great reviews.. small sales.. if you’re going to reply to a post.. at least show you have a modicum of intelligence.. otherwise just bend over and take it
@dave i likly doubt that uncharted 2 will have poor sales
but it happens i did read your comment and to be honest it was the most idiot post and dumbest thing to ever grace this site ever still i call you a 360 scrub but of
your pin sized brain and yet stiil your doubting that a game can go against gears of war uncharted 2 will prove
that and quantum so still you are a idiot and you really
proved how you are intelligent and to tell you the truth
you have no intelligence what so ever was you born last
night or yesterday because today i feel like im talking to a 1-year old using a 360 console as his bottle so please be quiet 360 fanboys never learn do THEY!!!!!
just stop commenting.
your making yourself look bad.
but what do sales matter?
why is every xbot so heffed up in game sales?
you getting a potion of the revenue?
game sales means a higher quality title?
just because game A sells better than game B does not mean its better.
im 99% shure both uncharted and bioshock sold worse than COD4, but both uncharted and bioshock are 10 times better than COD4.
@ theunleashed666
This is an artical about a exclusive Xbox 360 title so you should just shut the fuck up. Quantum is just a wannabe game that suck in everyy category. So just SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!! fucking ps3 fanboy

@GATORMATT

i call bullshit
@newshadow101
i call fucking moron and bullshit i can play the
same game dipshit
@gatormatt is a virgin guaranteed… only virgins talk that way
You would know.
As this is my first time posting on such a site i would like to first stress that i am disappointed at all the users of this forum. Giving a troll like theunleashed666 more fuel for her flame war is truly a sad way to deal with his/her attention-seeking behavior. Personally, I suggest ignoring theunleashed666. If he/she realizes that her crazed ramblings aren’t affecting anyone, she’ll move on.
@MARK
first of all i am a guy second it appears that everyone is
ignoring you for the matter so sad is’nt no one cares for
a troll like you oh well too bad. and if there is a flame
war i wasn’t aware at the time just posting a commet of my
own when a pack of wild and idiot and pathetic fanboys come
storming on this site and pretty seems that a good number
of trolls did go for the bait and you did as well. and it seems that no one took your suggestion which means you pretty much failed to prove your point just pathetic is’nt
your are the one dying of attention as no one here didn’t
notice you like didn’t even exsist. is this the comment of
a pathetic of worthless troll with no life i pitty you
so sad so sad for a fanboy like you if it is a flame war it
appears that most of these trolls took fell for the trap like you did just like a dog waiting to be put out of your
misery.
quantum is a gears rip off, uncharted 2 will be better than both of them
@og
quantum is not a fuckig ripoff you dumb fuck unchared will be awesome as well quantum both third person shooters on ps3 quantum,uncharted 2 will be fucking huge
and awesome call me a fanoy all you want but doesn’t matter to me just talking bullshit out of your mouth
so for those calling quantum a ripoff is either fucking
stupid or just fucking retarted and you are one of them
fucking SCRUB
Oh, looks like I mistook this website for a hub of intelligent conversation. Ooops.
Hey, don’t lump us in with these vultures — I don’t even recognize most of the names.
its nice to see how many 8 year olds have access to the internet these days.
