CliffyB Interview
by Steve Gibson, Aug 19, 2004 9:28am PDTA pretty good and candid interview with CliffyB to lead things off this morning. Cliffy talks about UT2004 of course which has been quite a success. Check out Cliffy's attempt at describing mod communities.. I dunno where he's going there.. hehe
Bleszinski: Well I think our stuff’s easier to use than most other people’s so the barrier to entry is slightly lower. And I think, you know, Quake fans generally tend to be like Grrr, Arrrg, you know? So the Quake fans tend to be kind of like having that kind of old school like, Oh I’m a badass, kind of Internet It’s like the Unreal fans think that they How do I explain it? I don’t know. Maybe Unreal fans are more like guys. You know, it’s like, Hey buddy how’s it going? (gruff, low voice). Whereas women are all so competitive with each other. I’m totally, like, digging my own hole with these comments. Be careful with how you edit this.

Quake guys are, like, grarrr.
Unreal guys are more like, y'know, rarrrg.
And then the women. They're totally arrrrg.
These are technical terms, of course.

GI: So speaking of your new franchise, anything you can tease our readers with?
Bleszinski: Um, it’s not Unreal. … We’re not really ready to announce much about it, but it’s… I like co-op.

On 98+% of the CS servers out there, its pretty much the same game with the same rules. For the small fraction of the servers running some custom rules, they have their community of followers and good for them.
With U2K4, you can be playing a round of BR one map, CTF the next, then DOM. But what if I didn't want CTF or DOM? I just wanted BR and was hoping the server would stick on such gameplay.

The bit below me, had me giggling because it's so damn true.
I operate under the fundamental belief that any time you have a device that’s built for work people will find a time and a way to blow off work on said device. It’s the same reason why every time I’m on a plane and I see a laptop and mother******* are playing solitaire on it. A $3,000 device that they use for what? A $3 deck of cards.

Unrealers, even rivalling clans were friends, they'd take a beer together and talk old scraps.
Quakers, let's just say that two guys from a certain clan took the competition offline and went to see who could get the most piercings done. The guy who got the prince albert won.

So not only do you have players scattered to the winds, but the modders have followed suit. There are over 50 UT2K4 mods (and 30 more in the works), some with a player base in the hundreds, many with a player base consisting of only the developers themselves. Some of them are original, but most of them are CS clones or a combination of two or more gametypes. There are like 10 CS clones. 10! So now you have 10 choices as a player, but that also means that the available pool of players is divided into 10 groups.
What UT2K4 needs is some bank mergers. We'll use this feature from your mod and this feature from my mod, we'll tweak our maps to make them look like they belong together, and we'll merge our fan bases.
breathe....
hahahahahahahahahahaha
