An interview with Cliff Bleszinski: “I still have other game ideas and things I want to do”

Mike Stubbs: This statement feels quite apt for LawBreakers. While only a handful of its ideas are truly unique, the combination of them all is something that few have tried before. There are similarities to Overwatch and Battleborn, and at the end of the day it is a shooter not too unlike Unreal Tournament but the unique sci-fi world and the gravity mechanics make it feel like nothing else out there. Ultimately that was Cliff’s goal, making something that didn’t feel like other shooters and didn’t just copy everything from other titles.

“It’s like, well you’ve gotta have a sniper. Do you? You’ve gotta have a medic. Do you? Well, you’ve gotta have CTF, well dude you’re just making the same shit as everyone else does. Don’t you actually have a vision for what you want to make? Come up with something different and unique instead of just iterating off other people’s smoke trails. So with this game there are things that are in other games, you know, swords and kicking and everything, but the key is to take it, consume it, and this sounds gross but regurgitate it into your own. Man, I’m making you guys think I’m the mother hen who is barfing this game into other hens mouths.”
