Gears of War Euro players invited to chainsaw Epic devs
Is this commlink working right, Max?… You getting – okay, it’s fine now. *Ahem* Good afternoon, Euro Xbox Live gamers. This is your mission, should you choose to accept it:
Epic Games is inviting you to challenge its people in a Gears of War developer showdown from 1900 to 2100 GMT this Saturday, February 24. Epic shall be led by Lead Designer CliffyB (Cliff Bleszinski) and Vice President Mark Rein in an all-out effort to to perform battlefield surgery on your corpse with their chainsaws (rumor has it they’ve been practicing medical malpractice with Trauma Center to hone their skills – of course we kid on that detail).
Tempted? Below are the GamerTags of the various Epic staff who will make their presence felt in multiplayer. Add them to your Friends list, keep a sharp eye out for them, and rev up that saw and slap a fresh magazine in. Oh, and here’s some intel we found on the opposition (and we quote the interview):
And if you must ask, as Planet Gears of War asked Cliff and Mark, the best Gears player in the Epic office is AI programmer Steve Superville (it goes with the name, don’cha think?). And the worst? According to CliffyB, none other than Mark Rein himself. And we quote him: “Mark Rein is, without a doubt, the worst Gears player I have ever laid eyes on.“
Oh, this is going to be so much fun.
Epic staff GamerTags after the jump, soldier.
