Phil Spencer er som bekendt Microsofts nye Xbox-boss. Han har i et nyligt interview med IGN kommenteret på, hvad der for ham var det vigtigste i Gears of War-spillene, og hvorfor han gerne ser serien gå tilbage til rødderne.
Her fremhæver han især følelsen af storhed i de første spil og den mere dystre stemning. Han synes ligeledes, at de senere spil nærmest blev en parodi på dem selv.
"The thing that was great about the early Gears of War games, to me, was just the epic scale of the settings that I was in. The story, the setting was a lot more what I would call soulful and maybe even a little dark."
"I think the game over time became almost more of a parody of itself; not for any kind of horrible reasons. But we have a new team, [Fergusson] is there to really help with the continuity. I think we can make sure that we're investing in this thing for the next decade, which is how I want to think about it."
Hvad mener du? Var de første spil i serien de bedste?
