In an interview with GamePro, Cliff Bleszinski did his usual Gears of War talk, but one thing stood out towards the end of the interview, his lack of understanding concerning EA/DICE's upcoming FPS/FPR(Runner) Mirror's Edge.

Bleszinski went on to say "I think Mirror's Edge will be great, too, but they're showing me too much parkour, I want to see the gunplay. I hope it's not all just running and jumping. As long as there's something chasing me...even Mario had Goombas, you know?".

Many might be able to see how Cliffy may be a bit TOO addicted to guns and that you don't necessarily need a TON of em' in order to have a great and, in Mirror's Edge's case, beautiful game.

Why didn't he try the demo? Then he'd know that there are people chasing and shooting at you and whatnot.. What a tool.

I'm glad there are people with more brains than Cliff in positions higher up than him, and scattered amongst the various companies out there. If everyone were like him, we'd have no Myst, no Bejeweled, no LittleBigPlanet, no Portal, no Zack & Wiki, no Petz 2: Dogz.

I mean, I coulda did without the last one, myself, but maybe someone out there likes it!

Cliffy B is a douche. Just sayin'. Hope that doesn't stop us from interviewing him someday...when he makes something for PlayStation :)
