Epic Games president Mike Capps cares not for the massive audience of Wii owners salivating for a decent game not based on Nintendo IP, he cares only about technology. “We go forward, not back. It makes more sense for us to invest in the next-generation tech,” he said in a recent IGN interview.
As we near the PC release of Gears of War, it’s a shock to hear that the multiplayer mode was very nearly scrapped from the initial Xbox 360 version. President of Epic Games, Mike Capps revealed the fact at this year’s Leipzig Games Convention:
“I was going to cut multiplayer from Gears because I thought it wasn’t coming together fast enough, right, […] The day before E3 I’m like ‘no guys, it’s not pulling together.’ And they made it, they pulled it together, and then we won every award.”
It boggles the mind to think that the ridiculously popular Xbox Live modes nearly missed the cut, and proves an important point - your boss isn’t always right.
The PC version of Gears of War will hit stores on November 6.
