Cliff Bleszinski Interview - LawBreakers, Xbox fanboys being salty, Possible Switch Version

Yesterday Geoff Keighley interviewed Cliff Bleszinski about the upcoming release of LawBreakers for the PlayStation 4 and PC on 8th August 2017.

During the interview Cliff talks about a possible Xbox One and Switch version and how the Xbox fanboys are really salty about LawBreakers not coming to the Xbox One at this time.

That was pretty hilarious never been a Cliffy B fan but he has a good sense of humor.

That PS4 Pro looks pretty sweet though.

[gangsta_red]

Yea, this guy is awesome, especially when he called out fanboys when he made some jokes about PS Move and Killzone.

I've always thought this guy was hilarious, can't wait to see Lawbreakers in action!

[Liqu1d]

Cliff is definitely right about the salt.

[ShottyatLaw]

Don't forget when he called out Gaf. One of my favorite quotes.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Always like you to try to take a shot at PlayStation even on an article that doesn't pertain to them one bit

[gangsta_red]

@dark

How am i taking a shot at playstation?
The article is about extreme fanboys and Cliffy has always been vocal about them in the past.

Now exactly where did i take a shot at Playstation?

[EatCrow]

Interesting. I completely agree with you. But of course...something tells me some sections of his humor arent as funny to you depending on the direction.

I like the humor in any and all directions. But I never liked this guy much.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

Bwhaaaaahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"little sprinkles of salt"

[RDOUBLE]

[hahaha]

He is such a Eugene.

[meka2611]

Used to be a fan of this guy, until he jumped on the PC bandwagon to make sure there were gender neutral bathrooms in lawbreakers, hopefully he came back to his senses and got rid of that BS.

[ziggurcat]

How is it PC to have unisex washrooms in a video game? Do you boycott restaurants that don't have separate male/female bathrooms?

[meka2611]

Mostly because I'm tired of PC bullshit, yea let's have unisex bathrooms so predators can have easy access, sounds like a good idea. Anyone who supports crap like this is an idiot in my book.

[Istolla]

You are a strange one...

[KwietStorm_BLM]

THAT is the thing that you settled on to be upset about? This society is amazing....

[Death]

Been a fan of CliffyB for a long time and wish him well. I get the decision to release on PS4 over Xbox One since the difference in user base size is pretty obvious. I'm not sure I believe it when we see it's coming on PC and PS4. Porting from PC to Xbox One is relatively easy. If it were as simple as the limitations of a 65 person team it would make more sense to say they are launching on PS4 and PC first with an Xbox version to follow if he actually wanted to appeal to his fans on the Xbox. If fans are salty, it's because he's doing something wrong. There are ways to do things without creating ill will with fans.

Either way, I wish him the best of luck with LawBreakers.

[ocelot07]

If it was an easy process am sure he and his team would do it in a heartbeat as it's more money in his pocket. But with only 65 staff am sure even supporting 3 platforms is just to much for them to handle. As he said in the interview there is chance Lawbreakers makes it's way to Xbox with XOX features and maybe even a Switch version sometime in the future.

[Death]

I agree there is money involved and suspect they were paid to keep the game off Xbox, probably for a fixed amount of time. I don't think sales will be higher because it is PS4 only since you cut out 30 million potential customers. If you look at historical sales from previous generations, individual game sales don't increase at the same rate as install base. The reason for this is more games are released trying to appeal to the larger group of potential customers. Releasing a game to 60 million PS4 owner only isn't going to mean you automatically get twice as many sales. Ubi has already released numbers in the past showing this isn't the case. For a startup like this, the better bet is to release on as many platforms as possible. Like I said, I get targeting PS4 first. I'm just not sure why Cliff is working against himself with Xbox owners. So many ways to approach it without making it worse.

[Arnon]

"With an Xbox version to follow" is a statement catered too heavily towards guaranteeing an Xbox release. At the most, he could have stated "we'll see how the game does and later there might actually be an Xbox release"... which is essentially what he said.

[King Nezz]

Why are Xbox fan boys salty really? I can count about 20 games on all the 3 consoles I would want more than his game.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Well here's the thing.. You counting 20 games you want doesn't mean anything to them. Lawbreakers is a very fun shooter, and it's from the guy who created Gears. That, and gamers get upset about everything, especially about games not on their platform of choice. So it should be pretty obvious really.

[81BX]

Love gears, this game looks like crap. I'm not upset.

[King Nezz]

Well it should mean something. He's competing in the video games department. He wants his games to stand out when comparing to titles like the new God of War (which looks amazing by the way), Forza 7, and Mario Odyssey to name a few. When gamers have to choose from that small list I mentioned, his game will be ignored. So again, why are Xbox fan boys salty. I see more potential in Ashen than in his game.

[Psychotica]

Yeah it will be a quite a while before I buy that game, just too many other games I rather play..

[cfc83]

Cliff likes to get his digs in at xbox. Very few xbox players are bothered about this game. I doubt many have even heard of it. There's just so many games out there.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

ha why does someone always say things like that? Nobody has heard of this game. Doubt anyone will miss it. Very few people blah blah.. Why is there always someone who wants to speak for everyone? If few people have heard of this because there are so many games, then how is that different than any other game? Gamers play games, and we know what's available.

[81BX]

You could also assume a lot of Xbox only gamers are upset about this.

[Sevir]

Tell that to the ones who behave brand new because His game is launching on PS4! They were the same ones who praised him when he bashed the PS3 because it was so hard to develop for!

[meka2611]

Or better yet, game looks dumb. Just another arena shooter which everyone has tons of choices for. Just my opinion but I am so sick of standard FPS nowadays, the market is saturated with them.

[gamer7804]

if you want a multiplayer to be really successful the ideal scenario is on 3 consoles and PC, and crossplay between them.

[XxINFERNUSxX]

"144fps is the new 60fps" I like that line from Cliffy :D

[jlove4life]

First few secs :32 mark i was glued to the window :)

[DivineAssault]

I cant blame early adopters but anyone choosing xbox over PS knowing its the lead console are asking for things like this..

[feraldrgn]

Unpopular opinion: It's weird seeing the people who didn't like Cliff praise him now that he's not catering to another user base.

[meka2611]

Thought the exact same thing.
