Gears of War: The Race to E3 on MTV2 Tomorrow [UPDATED]
Tomorrow the “music television” channel MTV2 will premiere a special documentary called Gears of War: The Race to E3. The show follows the Epic Games staff preparing our favorite game, Gears of War, for the big show in Los Angeles.
The show is being developed by LivePlanet, a production company founded by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who was on site at Epic Game’s headquarters in North Carolina to film the documentary. LivePlanet was also behind Project Greenlight and many other projects and feature films. I’m personally happy to see a game documentary in such talented hands.
So be sure to turn your TVs, or set your Tivo, to record MTV2 tomorrow at 10 pm Eastern/Pacific to get a sneak peak behind the scenes at the development of Gears of War. Until then you can also grab some clips of the show from the show page on MTV2.
[UPDATED 5/23/2006]
For those of you without MTV2, or who missed the show, you can now watch it on MTV’s Overdrive service. FYI: MTV’s Overdrive only works with Internet Explorer for Windows XP; Mac and Linux users are out of luck.
[...] Cliff calls this the “Best. Interview. Evar.” and he uses plenty of colorful language. For thirty minutes he discusses some history on the Gears of War project; like how pieces of the game became Unreal Tournament 2004. Secrets of the drama on the MTV2 Gears of War documentary are revealed. But instead of telling you everything that was revealed, it’ll be much more entertaining to go listen to it yourself. [...]
