Next Gears of War To Have Playable Female Character?

Cliff Bleszinski drops a few hints.

August 3, 2009 - Will gamers finally be able to play as a female in the Gears of War series?

That's the question Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski was asked by 1 vs. 100 Live host Chris Cashman during a game this past Saturday, according to Binge Gamer.

Bleszinski danced around the question and said he couldn't comment on "'possible aspects' of a game that 'may or may not' be in development."


He then followed up on his comment by saying the female character sitting on top of a dead Brumak from the comic series "'may or may not' be involved in any 'as-yet-unannounced' video game projects."

To further add to the speculation, the director on the upcoming Gears of War movie, Len Wiseman, said at Comic Con he wants female characters in the movie. "I'd love to see it happen. I'm a big supporter of that."

Do you want playable females in Gears of War 3?

Seeing females in Gears of War is really bizarre, because they're like one fourth as big as any of the male characters.

But sure, go ahead. It's not like I actually care about the gender of the character I play as, but if you're gonna put female characters in, please don't make them as big as Marcus Fenix...

Characters have to have similar hit box sizes to keep multiplayer fair, else everyone would use the tiny hard to hit characters.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

It's not happening, he is just playing around. I think there is only 1 woman in Gears of War so far anyway

That's very true. Then no, no female character for Gears of War, please.

I can think of three.

Anya, Dom's wife and the Locust Queen.
