Lawbreakers is the first videogame in years to actually have something to say.
So, I guess the market is going to be flooded with arena shooters next year with this game, Blizzard's Overwatch, Gearbox's Battleborn, and Bethesda's Battlecry, huh? At least three of them are "free-to-play." I'm trying to care, but just can't really muster any enthusiasm for any of them.

Unreal Tournament is also in the works, think its free to play, don't know if its coming out anytime soon though.

Yeah, I made a thread on this subject on the bore maybe 6 months ago. At least most of the above games are adding different elements to the traditional formula. They all kind of look cool to me in various ways but yeah its unlikely for all of them to find an audience. Overwatch because of the Blizzard name I have a feeling is going to be the most popular one by far.

Unreal Tournament is also in the works, think its free to play, don't know if its coming out anytime soon though.I wouldn't lump UT in with the rest, it's a straight HIGH DEFINITION remake of 99/04. You can play it right now, they have tons of all the old maps/weapons already in with no real textures for the maps yet. The differences are minuscule with how it plays. It's like CS->CS:S->CS:GO, you can tell if you've overindulged but it's more like GO in that it's not drastically different like 3 was and the differences are good/not game breaking.
Isn't that what Dirty Bomb was attempting, but did poorly?Dirty Bomb is quite good. I'd definitely recommend giving it a few hours. Especially if you're one of those weirdos who actually liked any aspect of Brink.

Correct. Unreal Tournament 4 is Free to Play and supposed to be shooting for next year.
Either way, it is the only one besides Overwatch that I'm honestly looking at. Cliffy hasn't done anything since Jazz Jackrabbit that resonated with me.
(And yes, I know the contradiction with caring about UT. But that's only because of the UT v Q3 war days)
i bought this game (https://streamable.com/nk7j2)
and hate myself
Market too saturated for this game. Rip.

I dunno. Shooters can get sales. But I'm so tired of folks copying Overwatch (I don't like MOBA elements in my shooters) that it's pretty much:

What I've read is that this really isn't like Overwatch, in that the game is more balanced and is all about just the shooting mechanics and not about which character you pick to counter whatever other characters are on the map and blah blah blah.
I think the problem here is that people just look at it and see "Overwatch clone."
Im 100% certain their plan is still to go F2P in a couples (im calling by spring) but they managed to find a decent audience with the betas/alphas so they decided to see what they could get as early adopters.

What fucking gets me is that Cliffy B has genuinely convinced himself that he's the main reason behind GoW's success. It wasn't the hyper talented team, definitely not Microsoft's pitch-perfect marketing, wasn't even the visually distinct subject matter, definitely not the world class graphics engine, and absolutely couldn't be that people were desperate for brand new shooter IP when the 360 launched. No, Cliffy B thinks it was due to him and his brilliant game design direction of which he was happy to take all the credit for.
This dude's ego is beyond legendary.

To be fair: If you believe the intro shit within the manual for the 360 version: The idea of the cover shooter came to him while playing paintball in North Carolina. So, I mean... at the time the genre (cover shooters) wasn't being done, so he did break ground on having numerous clones (like Uncharted) done under his idea.
The problem is: Outside of the Epic team (like you said), what has he done individually?
I remember Cliff Bleszinski had a website dedicated to scanning cats back in the Unreal. Good times: https://web.archive.org/web/20000511112205/http://www.cat-scan.com/Old/entries3.html
Heya. I'm a 23 year old designer/producer/useful person who works with Epic Games on cool games such as Unreal and the Jazz Jackrabbit series. I was lead level designer/co-designer on Unreal and designer of Jazz Jackrabbit 1 and 2. I also worked on some really bad Windows adventures a while back, but we're going to ignore that. I NOW live in beautiful Raleigh, North Carolina. Glad to be out of California.
When I was younger I used to play tons of games and I would always wonder what goes on in the heads of the people who make them. So, now that I'm on the other side of the fence, I figured I'd let people peer into my noggin and see what's going on. It isn't always exciting or controversial, but it is me. Take it or leave it!
In case you're curious, in Unreal I did Vortex Rikers, Skaaj Mine of Rrajigar, Depths of Rrajigar, DMCurse, DMHealpod, DKNightOp, DMElsinore, and DMFith. I designed all the levels in the Jazz games except for the 2nd level of the Medieval areas in Jazz2. (Nick Stadler did that one.) And, yes, I knew I'd make you shit purple twinkies when I did that "Skaarj Introduction" in Unreal. Ever since the Cyberdemon made me jump out of my seat in Doom, I had always wanted to scare people in games, and judging from the great reaction, it worked! Expect more in the future.
I frequent irc.unreal.org #unrealed under the nick Cliffyb.

Oh, and leave my employer alone. They have nothing to do with this website.
The Dark Souls line is the perfect example of him.He likes to ham it up in cringey ways, it seems. All I can think of when I hear his name now is the one time he made a butt-plug simile on the Giant Bomb E3 couch. If I remember it right, that landed like a bag of cement. Not even Ryan had anything to respond.

The picture he was painting was of an executive (?) at some kind of debauchery, whispering "perfection" as it slides into some prostitute's asshole. Goddamn it, you're gonna make me scrub through this shit to find it.All I can think of when I hear his name now is the one time he made a butt-plug simile on the Giant Bomb E3 couch.

I only ran into him once, at a GDC afterparty. He had an exquisitely coifed woman on his arm, and no-one else had brought show-model dates. Other than that, he seemed OK.

Back in 2001 I was shopping for hardware for my company in Akihabara, and saw a guy wearing gold chains and an Unreal Tournament leather jacket. I was like "Hi Cliffy B!" and he's like "HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS ME?"
I wound up taking him back to my company and they were like "OH SHIT SHO NUFF-SAN, YOU FOUND A CLIFFY B" and we wound up going out for drinks and getting hammered, it was the fuckin best day

Seemed kinda funny at first, even if it's beating a dead horse. Then it goes into his girlfriend dumping him, which is shitty. Then it goes into full on trans phobia and I turned it off.
The video gives a lot of time to the disinvited youtuber before it starts making fun of unisex bathrooms. I wonder what he actually said for Boss Key to tell him that they don't want to be associated with someone who doesn't respect diversity.
I'm not impressed with people who are involved in takedown culture. Jokey criticism is inherently disingenuous, because the authors want the ability to back out with a "j/k!" Fuck that. Create something original or create through honest criticism, but at least stand behind one's words.

I was interested in this pre-release. Looked like a cool concept with a unique look. Then I tried it and found it to play like something out of the 90s -in a bad way- with clunky game play and a very limited number of players per match. :-\ At least this was free to play.
No posts for months and many of the last posts talked about how long it took to find a game.I seem to remember Twisted Metal having this same problem to the extent that to show the problem, much of Giant Bomb's quick look was dedicated to showing how unable to find a game you are despite it saying there were plenty of players online.
LawBreakers Community,
It has been a while since we said anything about LawBreakers. With that, the past four months at Boss Key Productions has been especially trying, as we pride ourselves at being communicative and transparent.
So here is the very real truth, which may not come as a surprise.
The fact is LawBreakers failed to find enough of an audience to generate the funds necessary to keep it sustained in the manner we had originally planned for and anticipated. And while a pivot to free-to-play may seem like easiest change to make, a change of this magnitude takes publishing planning and resources to do it.
The team here has worked hard on this game over the past three and a half years and our studio is determined to give this game the second life it deserves. However, between now and then, we cannot sit idle. We will continue to support the game in its current state, but we also need to focus on other projects with fresh creative leaders. We have been working on something new and we can’t wait to share more about it! It’s a passion project that we’re in complete control of.
Thank you for your ongoing understanding and patience.

They cant make it F2P? I want to play it but Im not gonna pay shit for it
They should have made this a third-person shooter. Would have at least helped to stand out somewhat against Overwatch and the like.

Anyone ever try Toxikk? That's a Quake/UT style game that's F2P on Steam IIRC.
What about the new quake? Was that any good?
