Bleszinski: "We're not quite Blizzard yet"

Cliff Bleszinski, the design director for Epic Games has said that the company is "not quite Blizzard yet".

TheBeast5444d ago

Probably never will be community wise either but who knows.

Reibooi5444d ago

I don't think they ever will be from a Game quality Standard or Community standard.

Yeah Epic makes great games but Blizzard games are on a whole different level. Hence why Blizzard takes as long as it takes Epic to make 3 games to make 1. They take the time to make sure the game is as good as it can possibly be and it shows.

Not trying to down Epic or anything but very few devs will ever live up to the Blizzard Standard.

Yeah, but under Activision, Blizzard is selling Starcraft 2 in three different copies, each for 60 bucks.

So, while Epic probably will never be like Blizzard used to be, the Blizzard of today will never be as good as the Blizzard of the olden times.

You have to realize something though. He doesn't just mean games here. Epics number one source of income is their Engine. They are happy to break even on their games because the games are more marketing and hype for the engine itself. The Unreal Engine community that Epic has is massive and there are some very dedicated users there.

LocO_o5444d ago (Edited 5444d ago )

I think you nailed it.

The unreal Engine is the work horse of this generation of gaming and has provided and still providing some AAA games.

I hear people bitch about how bad and old the unreal engine is but then they turn around and praise games like Batman AA and Mass Effect with out knowing what engine is running those games.

If next gen games are anything like the Samaritan tech demo then I can see where Epic and the Unreal engine will play a major part in gamers heart.

Each of the Gears of War games have made a lot of profit for both Epic and Microsoft.

Bring Gears to PS3 and you might be

Anyway, as is often the case with articles centered around some dumb excerpt, the interview itself is worth reading, despite the fact that the story linked here is absolutely worthless. Enjoy.

so ironic

TruthSeeker5444d ago

Well i dont want epic to turn into Activision-Blizzard!

dabri55444d ago

Blizzard's community is amazing. Even if you ignore the games all together, if you just look at the community, you will not find another massive group of people who get together to talk and discuss the games they love all under one little umbrella all from one company. They are doing it right and a lot of developers are looking to replicate that.

TruthSeeker5444d ago

Thats great that they have a maasive community. I just dont want them to replicate Acti-Bliz's gredy business practices.

dabri55444d ago

But the article isn't about business practices. It's about replicating community interaction in the same way Blizzard does with it's forums and conventions and other community driven events.

I currently play Gears 3 often, especially after the 60 FPS Boost. Gears of War is my favorite gaming franchise, and the Locusts are the coolest faction in history. Gears Judgment will always be a disgrace for not having the Locust in VS multiplayer.

AuraAbjure1065d ago (Edited 1065d ago )

GoW 3 and Judgement were the last installments before the series went woke and soulless. I'm level 50 in GoW 3 and LOVE it's multiplayer to death. It's just so crispy.

My first thought. Deserved to be somewhere in there.

Vits1225d ago (Edited 1225d ago )

That is the most "normie" list that I ever saw. This does make some sense given the console in question, but still.

Tacoboto1224d ago

Sure, the list itself sucks. But that click-saver table-of-contents, every list should have that.

BrainSyphoned1224d ago

Might as well list it as the One's top twenty as well since all it had for games was backward compatibility.
