Cliffy B on resistance 2: My game is better

I'm only surprised at the audacity of the the comment. I'm pretty sure Insomniac doesn't send copies of R2 over to Cliffy for evaluation, so he is, therefore, talking straight from his backside if he's comparing these two unreleased titles already.

In any case, obviously if he thought his competition was making a better game, he would talk it down, and his own game up, while heading back to his team and working on improving his game, so his commentary is totally meaningless.

His not mouthing off about how his game is "better", would go a lot further toward implying that his product will speak for itself when it ships.  So now I'm worried that he's scared of R2, even though it doesn't directly compete with his game because its on a different platform -- maybe that's why he thinks he can talk trash and get away with it.

Comments like that are pretty typical of Bleszinski. That's just the kind of guy he is, not that it detracts from his abilities as a game designer.

As long as he can keep delivering the goods to keep players happy, he can get away with it. Otherwise he could end up being the next John Romero, sans his own independent company/development studio.
