But Gears designer will never release a disc-based title again.
"The whole 'old guard,' where you get a Game Informer cover and an E3 reveal, is dead," he said. "I'll never make another disc-based game for the rest of my career, and [at E3] they're trying to woo buyers from Target and Walmart?"
He added that for all the excitement over indie hits such as Rust and Gone Home – games Bleszinski is openly a fan of – his future remains in the shooter genre.
"As a developer myself, I will probably always make shooters. It's in my DNA," he explained.
That said, Bleszinski wants his games to change lives.
Former Epic Games developer Cliff Bleszinski has championed the Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR) headset on his blog. Stating that the device needed games built from the ground up rather than ports, Bleszinski called using the Oculus a magical experience, likened to the first him he played on an Atari 2600.
