When Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski got bumped from last night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon because of a Justin Bieber-shaped "scheduling conflict," someone forgot to tell the Xbox Dashboard programming team who, inadvertently, spoiled Mr. B's big reveal: Gears of War 3. Re-booked for Monday's show with no big reveal has left Epic Games with only one alternative: reveal a second game!
CliffyB took to Twitter with the following comment: "NEWSFLASH: Two announcements about two upcoming games on Monday. BOOM!" Lucky for them, Epic has a second game that's just about ready for its close-up, People Can Fly's Bulletstorm.
Now, he didn't say specifically that Bulletstorm would be the second "upcoming" game, but the pieces are certainly in place. Take, for example, the cover of next month's Game Informer magazine, which can already be found floating around various corners of the internet. Of course, Epic could simply be following Nintendo's lucrative Pokemon strategy and releasing two editions of Gears of War 3. If so, might we suggest Gears of War 3 Brown and Gears of War 3 Gray?
[Update: Not ones to let some internet scans steal their story, the Game Informer crew has come right out and said it, albeit a few days earlier than planned: "The latest issue of Game Informer Magazine [has a] world-exclusive look at People Can Fly's upcoming shooter, Bulletstorm." They've got some higher-res art too, if you're interested.]
CliffyB: 'Two upcoming games' on Monday's Late Night; Us: It's totally Bulletstorm and Gears of War 3

I hate Cliff, but I always want to hear what he has to say. Especially about their new game releases.

Not a big fan of him either, but in the end, I do agree.

My memory of Cliff: Seeing him at a gaming convention in NYC literally surrounded by scantily clad women.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan either.

Because he holds this egotistical attitude and thinks he is being funny when he isn't. His personality in general is just rather annoying.

Ah so it's jealousy.
In my opinion the guy jokes about with the "ego" role no more than any regular male would, but as soon as you decide you don't like the guy, for whatever reason (most likely jealousy), then all his "jackassery" just makes you angrier.
That's my opinion anyway

Interested for Bulletstorm...but either I'm insane or I definitely see a Locust in GI's cover art.

i guess bulletstorm wouldn't be bad, but i'd really prefer a new shadow complex.

I think it's safe to say its Gears of War 3. Unless it's not GoW3 and he shows us Bulletstorm on Jimmy Fallon, remember he did say he's showing off a "NEW" game GoW is not new but Bulletstorm is.
Well take a look at this,

I don't get it. What does this have to do with the PS3? I know Gears 3 isn't coming, so it must be the other game. Right? Or am I missing something?

Meant to say: I know Gears 3 isn't coming to PS3.

I hope they announce the rumored Kirby Air Ride sequel.

Chair is hiring FPS developers, whatever they are making could be the second game announced.

Some games just doesn't work in 3D as good as it did in 2D, Donkey Kong is in my opinion one of them, and from the looks of that video, a 3D Jazz Jackrabbit wouldn't have worked. Glad it got canceled.
But a HD remake with just added resolution and polish would be fantastic!

Can they at least start giving the PC some love again? : (

It's called Bulletstorm and it's from the People Can Fly team. Yeah, definitely more of an arcade shooter. Wonder if it'll have a little metagame like 50 Cent: BotS and The Club...

Was the scheduling conflict that CliffyB can't show awesome Mature rated games around some little dork named Bieber who is too young to buy one?
Posted: Apr 10th 2010 1:12AM DigitalTwisted said
Nah I read on the TV sites that Bieber had a scheduling conflict and could only make it on that day, so they just switched their slots around.
As much as Bieber is a douche, he's not really to blame.........unfortunately.

Does Bulletstorm look incredibly, painfully, who-the-hell-greenlights-this-crap generic to anyone else?
