Cliff Bleszinski’s New Game Finally Revealed: LawBreakers

In the past few days, Cliff Bleszinski's new studio Boss Key Productions and Nexon have been teasing their new game, that was previously code named Blue Streak. Yesterday you saw a world falling apart (upwards), and today, the game has finally been revealed.

[TheLoCoRaven]

Lame name. Thats like calling a game "Criminals"

[FullmetalRoyale]

Or "Military"

[JamesBroski]

Or a superhero who uses an arc Archer.

[SlightlyRetarted]

Fuck, now i want a shooter that is called just "Military". I don't know why this makes me laugh this much, maybe i'm just tired.

[thorstein]

Or Warfighter

...oh wait...

[nveenio]

Or Super Happy Fun Game.

[ShinMaster]

I was hoping for another Jazz Jackrabbit. But no, it's another shooter and it's free to play... sigh.

[harbie]

More like calling it Government, since governments, nor the people who "run" them, ever follow the rule of law.

[x5exotic]

Or an exploration game "Uncharted"

[Chaosdreams]

There's bad guys and stuff. We stop the bad guys.

They break the law.

But we are the law.

WE ARE THE LAW!!!!

[TheLoCoRaven]

Pushing little children, with their fully automatics, they like to push the weak around!

[Chaosdreams]

@TheLoCoRaven

Push the weak around
Push the weak around
Push the weak around
They like to push the weak around.

*grins*

[Mikefizzled]

EDF!
EDF!
EDF!

[thorstein]

"There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town
feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
so I might as well begin to put some action in my life

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law..."

[_-EDMIX-_]

lolz at those who got the reference. Bubbles for you troubles.

[Kleptic]

@Chaosdreams

'They're tryin' to build a priz ON, they're tryin' to build a priz ON'
er, different song...but its crazy that that shat was a decade and a half ago...

[Hellsvacancy]

I commented here on N4G years ago that I would call my game LawBreaker

http://n4g.com/news/234860/...

[TheLoCoRaven]

So you came up with a bad name too. heh jk

[Angrymorgan]

Cliffs must have seen your post haha

[jcnba28]

^^ Or maybe he is Cliff?... !

[Blank]

Hilarious comment! Now I await the imending article on this!

[VforVideogames]

Hi cliffy!!!!

[Whymii]

Let me guess, you shoot and things blow up?

[squeezx]

I think the name is a bit of a double meaning as in breaking theoretical laws and also laws of gravity are broken.

[nveenio]

Yeah. And it definitely does. Earth's gravity wouldn't change if the moon broke apart. Earth doesn't get its gravity from the moon. Strange tides and earthquakes, sure. But unless the mass of Earth changes, the gravity won't. Sad they'd need a science advisor to explain this. And if it's not the moon that does it, they shouldn't have said it was. Just makes them look stupid.

[Th3o]

Unless it's a play on words? Like Breaking the laws of physics...

Also wouldn't that make GTA a lame name? Grand Theft Auto? That's describing the things u do....

Or Counter Strike? Call of duty?

I don't get it, most games are called by a name that mostly describes what is happening.

Amensia? the game is a horror but u literally have amensia....

How are you getting 31 Agrees? lol

[Dee_91]

who said the names of those games weren't generic?

[dmonee]

Or "Plane Flyers"

[quaneylfc]

It's a double entendre. Breaking the normal law and breaking the law of physics.

[Pixelart]

Wow..an educated person on N4G.. Such rarity. Bubble for you.

[OhMyGandhi]

and I thought the book/movie name "clockstoppers" was bad.

[gedapeleda]

I thought law breakers as of physics law being broken and manipulated by someone...

[Hoffmann]

Free2Play Shooter...well stopped reading/caring after that.

[TheLoCoRaven]

Yea I have Blacklight Retribution installed and I think I played it once for about 10min. Never went back to it.

[user9950279]

I know some of these cutting-edge devs like to think they are making a point by not announcing games for consoles.... but just announce the damn game for consoles.

slightly off topic, this remind me of APB, which is also headed to console. I want updates on that.

[spicelicka]

It's free to play i mean, in that case it's forgiven.

[PlayableGamez]

Being free to play makes me not want to play this game

[spicelicka]

I feel the same way, I meant the name and concept is forgiven. Could care less about the game as it is.

[HammadTheBeast]

The thing for me is, I probably wouldn't even consider it if it wasn't free, but since it is, I'll check it out and see how it goes.

[kupomogli]

@PlayableGamez

We need a new acronym. F2NP. Free to not play.

[someOnecalled]

so are yall saying that about that capcom game ps fanboys love to brag about or PS2 thats been downgrade to be handle on consoles that yall love to brag about. or h1z1 and everquest that people went crazy when they announced they maybe MAYBE port to PS4.

We all know that if it aint on ps4 it aint $h!t to the massive amount of ps fanboys thats on this site. they are the biggest hypocrites. i bet if ND or some sony dev announced a f2p game they would hit back flips

[zsquaresoff]

Well he should have specified that this game was pc only and not troll gamers on the console side.

[Sir_Simba]

I'm thinking free-to-play brink.
But we'll see.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

That's already out, it's called Dirty bomb

[LightofDarkness]

Bit late to the party on F2P shooters, Cliff. Especially something that sounds as humdrum as this. I suppose he hasn't gotten the memo about F2P (I.e. it works almost solely for MOBAs and casual MT riddled affairs), and that trying to steal market share from established entries in similar efforts is tantamount to insanity.

[MoveTheGlow]

Well, the F2P shooter landscape really hasn't had its killer app yet. Blacklight is nice, TF2 is a very specific kind of thing, and many of the prospective entries in the genre are MOBA-izing their stuff. If he can bring a level of polish to the aesthetics and gameplay that no one else can keep up with, maybe this is the game that validates F2P shooters as a good thing.

I mean, we've seen a ton of Frogger ripoffs over the years and most have completely sucked, but Crossy Road was still awesome and successful because it was done well.

All that being said, lol, I'm not interested in the least.

[x_RadicalAura_x]

Meh.

[Nischayraval]

Kkkk....

[blackblades]

Eh, doesn't seem that unique.

[gangsta_red]

Breaking the law, breaking the law!

[Cy]

Oh god, I'm trying to think of a way I could be less interested in this game, and I'm struggling. Maybe if it was mobile...?

[Zeref]

I wonder what you have to say after seeing the gameplay footage.

[MilkMan]

Hey its Cliffy B and he was in retirement. Lets see what a relaxed fully chilled, rested gamer that played games with the resources to make killer games and has had made killer games....would ever call his next game Law Breakers.

He really should have worked on Bulletstorm 2

[s45gr32]

Damn, I was hoping for a survival horror game. Also the game sounds like being there done that. Another apocalyptic game. It would of being interesting if the player is an alien race that took over earth . That is struggling to keep humanity in check. Destroying human resistance forces, spying on the human race, eliminating alien sympathizers/ aliens marrying with humans, etc. But no is the poor humams struggling to survive the apocalypse which we seen games done it to death . No originality from Cliffy B for shame.

[maulberto3]

Okeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeyyyyyy.................

[2pacalypsenow]

Yawn

[remixx116]

You have an awesome name.

[scark92]

@remixx116 Its based of a real album.

OT: I agree, looks generic imo.

[chrisx]

I got flagged for offtopic but a lot of comments like mine still stands,e.g this...no dis bro just stunned at n4g's politics lol

[Ashlen]

lol not to mention this article had less than 150 heat then instantly it's top article on the site.

Gotta love the transparency and legitimacy of the site user driven content. Oh well Cliff must be friends with a mod around here.

[chrisx]

@ashlen, exactly lol. Its a Pity

[feraldrgn]

I thought he was making a survival like game?

[Chaosdreams]

It is survival. It's surviving the law breakers.

They be scary.

[jay2]

i'll give it a try

[fluxmulder]

Meh.

[MasterD919]

Not really digging the name...at all.

[SlightlyRetarted]

Only for 4.99 you can unlock Judge Dredd skin with +200% HP and +300% Damage buffs, so you can show these noobs the true meaning of "free 2 play". Add extra 1.99 you get a sound pack that includes a legendary line "I AM THE LAW!", voiced by Stallones uncles friend. Pre-Order Judge Dredd pack now (you idiots)!

[x_RadicalAura_x]

ACT NOW FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GET AN EXTRA SIDE OF BRO WITH YOUR BRO SHOOTER WITH THIS LIMITED TIME OFFER FOR THE LOW PRICE OF ONLY $9.99!@#$%

[nix]

For 4.99 more you get to beta test and with another 4.99 you get the bike insignia signed by Stallone himself.

[Persistantthug]

AND THERE'S MORE!!!!!!!......

[Kal-V3]

Queue the Judge Dredd references..

[alti]

I watched the live action trailer...the narrator was so boring to listen to. He felt like he was droning on & on between yawns with familiar gaming cliches and rhetoric. It...sort of ruined everything.

[FoxyGotGame]

Seems Cliffy B is no longer interested in making Console games. Everything he promotes recently is PC only.

Fair Enough .... /

[Seafort]

He said the same thing about PC gaming a few years ago.

A man not to be trusted. He goes where the money is.

I won't be buying into his BS especially when Nexon are hosting the game.

[Jmanzare]

Lol basically all pc games are f2p with piracy might as well make money somehow

[Germany7]

Remember everyone, this is the same guy who criticized Metal Gear games. xD

[BLAKHOODe]

Hideo Kojima is the most over-rated developer on the planet.

[ShinMaster]

MGSV's gameplay stomps over anything Cliffy B has made.

[Germany7]

No, that's Cliff Blezwinsky.

[BLAKHOODe]

CB can be a jerk - a role he plays up mostly for his own entertainment. HK, on the other hand, acts as though he's the Kanye West of video games. People buy in to it. Why? I'll never know.

[MegaSackman]

Mmm I sense an Overwatch/Battleborn behind this curtain, which I think it would be the only way this could work.

[Relientk77]

Yeah not really impressed by this at all

[pandehz]

Unreal Tournament: Lawbreakers?

[ICANPLAYGAMES2]

Man is this guy a one trick pony.

[ASBO-5]

Brother you just took the words right out of my mouth!

[nklh4x0r]

Doesn't sound very exciting.

[xPaYDaYx]

Everyone is bagging on the name lol, it's a cross between the rules of gravity and also breaking the law. It's actually kind of creative if you think about it, people just see it and think omg cops n robbers.

[ASBO-5]

ah I remember when cliffy b was relevant!

[blakstarz]

"it’s a post apocalyptic (oh boy...another one of these type of games)free to play shooter (okay..its free you got my attention) set in the real Earth (well I sure as hell hope it's on Earth)after a calamity called “The Shattering,” (interesting) that caused the moon to split, completely screwing up gravity on our planet. (whoa...now that sounds like a cool concept)"

Well...sounds like its may be worth it...whack name, but as long as its fun, I'll bite.

[sAVAge_bEaST]

The "Law" of Gravity has been Broken', hence the name.

[blakstarz]

Oh yea.....I get it just the name is meh....but it's growing on me.

[ScorpiusX]

F2P ON PC, May have to give it a try at release .

[Dark_matter]

He's breaking the law by that damn name. It's criminal.

[urwifeminder]

Popular rock tune in the 80s lol.

[SuperbVillain]

law breakers? sounds like a bad 80's movie

[Orionsangel]

As a 37 year veteran of gaming. I've seen it all. So sorry if it reminds me of others games and I'm not impressed.

[fermcr]

Well, I'm curious about this game.

[PhoenixUp]

I really want a Bulletstorm sequel

[mochachino]

I guess I'm the only one that likes the game.

In any event, I like the premise and hope Cliffy delivers like I know he can.

[ShaunCameron]

LOL @ the title.

[UNKLE]

Tch big mouth cliff this is all he can do? What a shit game...

[kraenk12]

I stopped reading at free to play.

[Seafort]

I still remember what he said about PC gaming when he was a console developer sellout working on Gears for Xbox.

"I think the PC is just in disarray... What's driving the PC right now is Sims-type games and WOW and a lot of stuff that's in a web-based interface. You just click on it and play it. That's the direction PC is evolving into." - CliffyB

Supposedly PC gaming is where it's at right now once again. Never trust a man who changes his mind every leap year.

[Pixelart]

For a period that was true. Last gen the consoles were a force to be reckoned with. This gen the consoles suck a$$. Things change.

[Seafort]

Not it's not. It's never been true. I've been a PC gamer for the last 15 years and there have been some amazing games during that time on PC platform.

Just because the consoles dominated the headlines doesn't mean there was no great games on PC which could rival anything the console could deliver.

I mean who on the consoles had heard of a little unknown PC exclusive called The Witcher back then? Hardly anyone and look at it now.

There were many titles like The Witcher that console gamers couldn't give a shit about or never even heard of them until now.

It's never been about just The Sims, WoW or web-based clicky crap. It's always been so much more but they were never advertised on mainstream websites. It's still like that today with a lot of PC exclusive games.

If it's not AAA most console gamers don't wanna know.
