Blezinski is writing a book about what went wrong.Who's going to buy that?or is it going to be a bedtime story?
lol

EazyC2728d ago

If people didn't care about the game they're not going to care about why.

Baza2727d ago

I already know the narrative. It’s Cliffy blaming everyone but himself, including gamers, why this game failed.

VTKC2727d ago

Alot like feminists, ghostbusters movie and oceans 8 bombed, reason?= its because the white misogynist men didnt go watch it.

Good ridence cliff. Result of your hubris

ChronoJoe2727d ago

People interested in game development? Most likely.

rainslacker2727d ago

Eh. I'm in development, and I'll wait for someone else to read it and tell me if it's worth a read.

I don't really have a major problem with Cliffy, but given his track record and how he sees things, I don't feel that there will be a lot of insight in this book.

For the most part, what went wrong with LawBreakers is pretty apparent, and I don't need to read a book about how he failed to see it, when it was painfully obvious what happened.

There is more to the book than Lawbreakers though, but Cliffy has been pretty public with his career for a long time, and his views on things are pretty well known.

LawBreakers Being Revived Unofficially, Public Test Happening This Weekend

After six years since servers were killed off, LawBreakers is being revived in an unofficial capacity with playtests happening this weekend.

Hey, if Gigantic can garner enough attention it can happen for LawBreakers too. Funny thing is that both would share a similar story if going multiplatform:

-Gigantic remained Xbox One/PC until closure
-LawBreakers remained PS4/PC until closure

vTuro24690d ago

Oh shit, it's actually happening? This game was pretty dope. Shame the marketing was shit-tier.

Walalon689d ago

Yeah, the marketing side for this game was Uber Trash. But the gameplay was awesome

Lawbreakers was never successful, and therefore not worth reviving. It was hero-shooter [incorrectly labeled as an arena] that failed cash in off the popularity of Overwatch.

Gwiz1045d ago

LMAO I guess he really thought it was going to be competition.
This wasn't the only game that failed and claiming to be something entirely different.

Battleborn anyone?.

IamTylerDurden11045d ago (Edited 1045d ago )

Battleborn flopped but had more going for it than Lawbreakers. Oh how i had wanted to like BB. It had solid art and characters and a campaign but the gameplay nor story were there.

kryteris1045d ago

it having mobile graphics should have targeted that.

Inverno1045d ago

I'm still amazed this guy opened a new studio, and then shut it down after their first game flopped. Your excuses didn't matter cause all that people got was their money taken, and a product they could no longer play.
