Cliffy B says his next game will be a PC-only first person arena shooter
- Thread starter Doug Heffernan
- Start date
It's fine, the rule was no more CliffyB threads until he finds a job. Which he apperantly has found.

Of course, but the word "hopes" imply there's a possibility where he's not granted the license of Unreal engine, AFAIK it's only matter of money, and Cliffy B should be wealthy enough to get a license.

Boring. I wish he'd do something adventurous and atmospheric like the original Unreal

Wrong demographic.

I love Pokken!
I would back that, and i hate kickstarts.
No. He was a level designer primarily back then.
kinect driven controls and 320x240 per eye VR?

I'm not getting hyped until they show something, but the idea is very appealing.
Unreal Tournament was one of my favourite games.

Haha, I should, it's been a while since I've enjoyed a UT game. Is UT3 more popular than 2K4 these days?

If it's as good as Unreal Tournament 1, maybe I'll support this project.

I like Cliff and the games he has done. But I think Sony would need to see him show a little more diversity in the way his games look before they would go throwing money at him. Also I think if Cliff is taking on this project on his own, it's because he wants to. Not because Microsoft or Sony didn't want him.
Like I said I've liked his games in the past, and will be interested in finding out more but I'm not overly excited at this point.

HOLY SHIT! Right in the childhood.Cliffy if you are reading this, remember game play over graphics please.
I dont want foliage, sparks, water drops, smoke, dust, etc etc to block my view, just want good level design and the ability to shoot anything that moves.
Actually, the less walls the better.
So many good times with Q3A. dm17 ftw! \o/

Quake bitches leave.
I also just realized that what 2GD's doing and what CliffyB's doing could revitalize the old Q3 vs UT wars (which UT won).

ARENA Shooter using Oculus Rift? Vomit Tournament 2014?

That's a lot of 0's to risk losing if he can get funding up front from Kickstarter, wether it's the right thing to do or not is up for debate.

I don`t think he created Unreal, but he was one of the lead designers on the first game (the original single player game) as well one of the lead designers and map makers for Unreal Tournament `99. Actually, I think he was involved in every Unreal Tournament game to some degree or another.

So even if this does become a reality, how long until it's possibly released? 2016? 2017? Longer?

Looking forward to it and I truly hope he'll make a great game.

One of my favorite maps from Q3, as long as you were playing with people that sucked at the game too. Playing that map with pros was a nightmare, fucking railguns everywhere.
But yeah, if Cliffy is making an arena shooter, PLEASE KEEP IT EXCLUSIVE TO PC. We don't want the game to be slowed down because they have to work around the limitations of a gamepad.

Unlimited Capacity
Does not compute
Even arena staples like Quake 3 Arena got console ports. I don't care if those exist or not, as long as the game itself isn't compromised to maintain parity with the eventual console releases. There's a difference between a console game ported up to the PC (Call of Duty MW2) and a PC game down-ported to consoles (Quake III Arena and its Dreamcast, PS2 and XBLA versions).
It is a shame that specific mix of mechanics doesn't exist. In some areas it is very far into the realism side of the sliding scale between that and fantasy(fire modes on guns, bandaging, limping, bleed damage) but in other ways it is more arcadey than cs.
He's been on a break for a year now.

Disappointing. I'd hoped he'd perhaps be looking into exploring some other genre after spending so long mired in shooters, but apparently not. That said, there's a possibility that the description is misleading... or the business model (my gut is screaming F2P here, but we'll see)
