Cliff Bleszinski: “Borderlands is the Diablo of this generation”
Cliffy.B the design director of the Gears of War franchise is one of the most talkative developers out there. In the past few months, he had made a comment on the future of shooters by saying “the future of shooters is RPGs” and with games like Fallout 3 and the recently released Borderlands, it’s seem like a reasonable comment.
Today, the infamous designer has praised Gearbox latest game through his official twitter account by saying “Borderlands, I adore you. You’re Diablo for a generation raised on first person shooters. I want a Claptrap statue.” It’s not the first time that he gave praise to Borderlands, as he said earlier “I think Borderlands is not getting as much hype as it should, because it really looks like a more accessible, shootery version of Fallout.”
The loot system in Borderlands is well implemented and it’s very rewarding. But there are some questions I want to ask you folks: Are we going to see Cliffy.B make a game similar to Borderlands? Or will Gears of War 3 have some RPG elements? Let us know in the comment section.


i tell you what they SHOULD DO.. so listen up cliff. Gears meets Fallout3 meets Borderlands.
So gears third person characters and camera.. yada yada… in a FALLOUT3 open world (super big) with the 4 player co op of borderlands and loot system.
I only wish i could play fallout3 with a gears character, running all over the place, with a duffel bag on my shoulder, whoopin ass.
Gears meets fps rpg. FTW

Why is it that these fags always want to mention some game nobody has heard of just to sound cool.
