Former Gears of War Lead Designer Shares Thoughts on E-Day
One of Cliff Bleszinski's recent tweets reads, “Those grasshoppers are dying easy, just saying”. His post probably refers to the fighting gameplay Gears of War: E-Day Revealed during the Xbox Game Showcase, where Marcus Fenix is seen taking down Locust Drones. To further illustrate his point, Bleszinski added that when Randy Pitchford played the original Gears of WarHe said, “Wow, it's a pill, isn't it?” The former game designer also said, “The locust's skin and armor should be thick, and the game feedback loop should evolve to reflect that.”
Those locusts are dying mighty easy, just 'saying.

Responding to his post, some fans suggested that the drones don't look as hard in the demo as it is probably being played on easy mode. However, Bleszinski replied that that was not the point. When another fan pointed out that the enemies in the demo had “zero reaction to bullets”, the game designer responded by saying, “That's one of my big notes to be honest.” In other words, Bleszinski didn't seem concerned about how quickly Gears of War: E-DayLocust-type enemies die, but lack animation feedback and how they react when taking damage.
Cliff Bleszinski also praised Gears of War: E-Day
Except for a small note about e-dayOf enemies, Bleszinski had plenty of positive things to say about the upcoming AAA game. “e-day Looks great,” reads another of his tweets. “Awesome feature set, great tech improvements, and most importantly, it seems to have heart,” he continued. He praised developer The Alliance, saying, “It's exciting to see what the Alliance is doing.”
