Matt Searcy Interview
During COGConnected’s visit to The Coalition to meet the developers behind Gears of War 4 we had the opportunity to go hands-on with more of the game than we imagined and met many of the key creative team. All of whom are bursting with excitement for Gears fans to experience The Coalition’s take on Xbox’s biggest franchise. One such creative is Matt Searcy.
Matt Searcy is the Lead Campaign Designer on Gears of War 4 and COGconnected had a moment to chat with him about what makes a great enemy character, how to balance the old with the new to meet fan expectations and memorable milestones hit during development. Of course, you’ll also be able to find out which Gears of War 4 weapon Matt would want by his side if the Swarm infested earth.
Watch the full interview below.
Gears of War 4 will be released on October 11. It will be on the Xbox One and PC, and is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, meaning that if you buy the game digitally on either platform, you will be able to play it on both at no extra cost.
