Gears of War underwent secret boob job
No tits out for the girls
THE CREATOR of Gears of War has some funny ideas about how his bloodthirsty game can be more girl friendly than most.
Speaking to Wired, Cliff Bleszinski said that games had to be a bit more popular with the birds these days.
So when Cliff wrote Gears of War 2, he decided that in amongst all the horror and carnage he would drive women to the game by making female characters' er, Bristols smaller.
Girls apparently want different difficulty settings with nice scenery and broader vistas and a bit of a plot.
Girls like to jump-in and jump-out [shake it all about? Ed], they like cool and bad-ass main characters that have a very human side. The want females that "don't have ginormous tits and aren't bad stereotypes", he sagely said.
Instead they should be strong but a bit like your mother, he added.
Now we don’t want to appear like knockers here, but when it comes to chainsawing insects with heavy weapons, we are not sure that your mother is going to approve. µ

Women got the vote in New Zealand in 1893, however British women were not
recognised as real people until 1918 and the US until 1920. In computer games
women get the vote if they have implausible jugs.

"Girls apparently want different difficulty settings with nice scenery and broader vistas and a bit of a plot."freaking girls, ruining our(!) games with nice graphics, believable characters and, gasp, PLOT!
UAAAARGHHH!
UAAAARGHHH, indeed.
Hold up!
Quote: "Girls apparently want different difficulty settings with nice scenery and broader vistas and a bit of a plot".But that’s what I want damn it! Meaningless violence never really cut it in the first place. What draws you into a story is the character association and detailed plot with twisters.
Producers of games that roll out the same old BS are barely entertaining to guys and even less to girls.
Interesting...
"Instead they should be strong but a bit like your mother, he added."Actually, that's quite interesting.... (generalising!) considering all the conflicts that women tend to have with their mothers when growing up.
I wonder if he actually means that or means that they should be realistic and thus flawed rather than barbie doll-esque?
this isant fair at all
there should be a new unwritten rule in video game creation that if someone is going to buy a video game for 60 USD the end user should be able to pick the size of the breast's. so that way hormone driven teens can play a game with girls who have boobs the size of small moons and uber "uptight" conservative female gamers who absolutly have to chainsaw an insect with a machine gun can get thier fix without haveing to witness a women with large tit's lest they be offended somehow.What a load of crap
but then look at what company this game is for, Microbloat!FPS games are a mans world and I want bare chested women with huge bouncing boobs. Better yet totally naked vixens I need to rescue and they then show their appreciation to me.
:-)
GoW already had this
"Girls apparently want different difficulty settings with nice scenery and broader vistas and a bit of a plot."GoW1 had 4 different difficulty settings.
GoW1 had great scenary, the ruined buildings were amazing.
GoW1 had a "bit of a plot"... and there are cut scenes and conversions that continue it between the characters. No it's not a movie, but there's a story and it's acceptable.
Juggs/Girls
The girls I know who play games, enjoy a nice rack as much as I do.I think they should ask the girls who play, rather than a bunch of men who probably don't have a girlfriend, make the decision.
Yep!
"we are not sure that your mother is going to approve."I can vouch for that one: Mum heard something on the radio, asked if I "played that game where you chainsawed babies", and I corrected her, saying it was evil giant locusts, before admitting that yes I had chainsawed the bastards legs off!
All in a good day's work eh marcus!
whatever
"FPS games are a mans world and I want bare chested women with huge bouncing boobs. Better yet totally naked vixens I need to rescue and they then show their appreciation to me."someone needs a real sex life...
its not that women have problems with some characters like that, just with the obscenity of the concept to have a few girls characterised in the same way as they would with any guy. you know, other than the evil ones and whores... well im not sure a motherly characters any less stereotypical.
it just means that you draw us in as some kind of different species that are fun when we jump. tbh i think we would prefer not to feature in your games at all if the designers cant find a normal or interesting woman anywhere in their heads or they get swapped incase we might offend the mass market.
erm.......
Well, i've never got the whole thing about computer games having birds with massive knockers in. Does it actually do something for you lot?Its similar to the Sun, having a page 3 bird, and then printing something stupid next to it like "vikky thinks drugs are bad".
New girls
BBC news told me underage (15ish) girls now binge-drink more than boys and get arrested more due to their drunken violence.So I guess this analysis of what girls want is not applicable to britain then eh.
A plot better involve waking in the gutter in a pool of your own liquids I guess.
It's True...
I was quite surprised when my girlfriend used to load up Gears of War when I wasn't watching and have a jam. It was the only game she liked, apart from World of Warcraft. Ever noticed how long it takes girls to get past the character creation part of WoW. They like to look at every dress and hair do until they get it just right. Its funny.sex and guns
sex and movies goes pretty well together, but sex ad video games?When the games look a little better then maybe, but right now there is just something about square tits that doesn't hook me, and I don't care how much aliasing is done.
Save the sexiness in video games until their picture perfect... until then... ya, a bit o' plot would be nice now and then.
btw, GTA4 ain't so great... kinda boring actually, but I still play it incessantly.
hmm?
Big Boobs Won't DO!
All C'mon! You telling me that Gears of War2 gonna have some love scenes?!?
Umm?... Wait a minute!!!!
Hey this might just work!!!
O Really?
To the comments above, well yes, thank god for girl gamers because until now games haven't had realistic graphics, good characters and believable plotlines.Cliffy B and Epic are not in a position to comment on plotlines given that Gears of War was nothing more than a shooter and don't even get me started on Unreal Tourney. Leave the believable good characters and good storytelling to the peter molyneux's and gabe newell's of this world.
But some of us girls also like girls with big tits
As a lesbian I actually enjoy looking at big boobs, and if given the choice when choosing who to play as in the game would play as one.Gives me an advantage in multi-player, the guys are too busy ogling, to shoot back.
Pedophiles on the Inq??
"but then look at what company this game is for, Microbloat!FPS games are a mans world and I want bare chested women with huge bouncing boobs. Better yet totally naked vixens I need to rescue and they then show their appreciation to me. "
Perverted prick.
May i suggest The inquirer turn in the IP of this user and have the authorities look up if this is a convicted or wanted sex offender.
There are many pedophiles/rape convicts around these days. This moron fits the description.
strange people with strange suggestions

Cerebral retardation at its best.
Which female gamers are these?
Which female gamers are these? Last time I checked, I was stilla) female
b) gamer
c) partial to the buxom characters in unrealistic scenarios
d) not at all keen on decreased difficulty levels..... nor in need of them.
Though, eye candy(take that as you may) is always nice....
