Han var trött på Gears of War, på tighta deadlines, Microsofts krav och på hela kalaset med brutalhårda macho-män och gurglande fiendeslem som poppade upp ur asfalten. Han ville spränga hela skiten och ur denna frustration föddes ursprungsidén till Gears of War 3, som röstades ned hemma hos Epic och slängdes bort. Men nu har Gears-pappan Cliff Bleszinski pratat lite med spelsidan Destructoid och förklarat hur han tänkte.
"I can't remember the specifics, I think the Locust winded up burrowing back underground, and Sera exploded. The core of Sera, over many many years, wound up solidifying. And then all of a sudden you see a spaceman boot land on it, and you hear 'That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.' It turns out their moon was Earth, it was always like the Moon and the Earth in the past, and our Moon is the remnants of Sera. And the Locusts in Gears 4 would've been on Earth. It was kind of a really far out there idea, but Rod thought it was too extreme. So I respected his opinion."
"I was getting tired of Gears. Wanting to blow up the entire planet was probably my frustration of having worked on that for ten years with all the crunch hours and stuff like that. It was probably too much."
