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.

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?.

IamTylerDurden1764d ago (Edited 764d 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.

kryteris764d ago

it having mobile graphics should have targeted that.

Inverno764d 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.

S*** for those affected.

But 'Marvel' aint the easy win it was a few years ago, far from it. 2 years on with nothing but a 9 second logo teaser. I'm honestly not surprised.

Well we already know where the review scores are going to be for this one. Who knows how his game is going to be but the narrative has been set and everybody is running with it so expect some pretty low reviews.

This is definitely not a day one for me and I'll wait for it to go on sale one day. Which probably won't be too long LOL.

This game releases in 13 days and we still don't really have a clear idea on what it is exactly. Everytime a game releases without some extended gameplay to show us what the actual loop looks like it turns out they were hiding a turd. I hope im wrong, we could use more urban open world games to at least give us something other than GTA alone, but the marketing for this game is weird

Trailer released on YouTube PlayStation channel showing gameplay

It shows him shooting stuff, big woop! What does the open world portion look like, where is it set in? How do you get missions? Is there a villain? Do you upgrade literally anything? Etc etc

Eonjay7h ago

@isarai

Uhhh.... I think shooting stuff is the what this game is about. I must say its a refreshingly simply and direct premise. Defenitly feels like an older style game which is not a bad thing. Sometimes simple is good. Just good ole fashion bang bang!

Maybe you should just wait for someone else to play it for you and tell you.

The_Blue8h ago

This isn't a gTA clone. It like you all lack knowing what the words parody or satire means.

isarai5h ago

Never said it was, also don't know what either of those words have to do with anything.

bigfish17h ago

Culture in work environment should be good and fair to everyone.

But Hope this game is good and sells well so companies can invest in more single player titles, can do without anymore live service trash.

Eonjay7h ago

I want to see it do good because I want smaller budget games like this.

Extermin8or3_14h ago

There might be something to this equally it could easily just be a few disgruntled former employees. There's really not enough to go on.

Lightning774h ago

It's more than a few. It's the CEO who's said to be a huge problem. Bullying, favoritism to yes ppl, incompetent instructions, doesn't take criticism well and fires ppl who go against his wants etc.

The_Blue8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Wonder if Rockstar work culture was a influence.
