[...] Gears 1 was hard for us, because Epic utilizes an organic, iterative, design process ... new ideas are constantly being churned, there's no such thing as locking down a design doc, really. The best idea wins. If we get a really good idea, even late in the schedule, if it's really good, odds are it's going to make its way into the game. But after seeing how we survived Gears 1 and making appropriate trade-offs to get to that fixed ship date and still having a great game at the end of it, you kind of realize that not every feature has to be in there for it to be a great game.
I always say it's the thing that you're not thinking about is what's going to bother the consumer, not what you're cutting. Like if you cut something, you're going like, "Oh, they're going to be so upset," but I'm like, "No, what's going to bite us is something we're not even thinking about yet." It's going to be something you think is perfectly fine, and it'll be, like, the idea of some particular bug-like grenade tagging in Gears 1 where we had a bug when we first released. That wasn't on our radar at all, that grenade tagging was broken, . And then lo and behold, we had to do a title update to fix it, that kind of thing, so ... I think it's just a matter of being mature about knowing that not every feature has to be in the game to be a good game, and making appropriate trade-offs for what's the biggest bang for the buck.
So you say, "OK, here's our five biggest things, and as long as we have these five pillars, and everything we're doing is supporting them, then at the end of our two-year cycle we'll have a great game." [...]

Umso mehr Schade fand' ich's als er diesen üblen Headshot gleich im ersten Kapitel kassierte :<
) und vor allem nach diesem genialen Interview kann ich es echt nicht mehr erwarten. Gears ist einfach nur genial, der Multiplayer Modus fesselt ohne Ende.
