Bleszinksi's next game totally different to Gears of War

Former Gears of War developer Cliff Bleszinski has spoken of his plans for future projects.

Bleszinksi left Epic Games earlier this year after deciding to take a much needed break from the games industry.

However during a conversation with G4TV [via X360A] about his favourite Transformer, he revealed the codename of a new IP that he's working on.

"My first Transformer was Bluestreak - which was later changed to Silverstreak or something like that - which is the codename of the new IP I'm gestating on slowly," he said.

Bleszinkski also said he wants to be known for more than just the chainsaw gun in Gears of War, revealing a desire to create a new legacy.

"I don't want the chainsaw gun to be my legacy," he added. "Whenever someone puts together a 'Top 50 Weapons in Video Games' there's like the Halo sword, the Lancer, like it's there with everything else, like Doom BFG and that's really flattering.

"But a lot of these kids who have only been playing games for the last however many years, they think that's the only thing I ever did. They forget about Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal Tournament that I worked on, things like Bulletstorm, a little bit on Shadow Complex and things like that.

"Moving forward I would like to work on something new and fresh and kind of redefine my legacy."
