I'm so conflicted about Cliff.
The whole thing is just kind of a bummer. Hopefully they get a chance to make something again and when they do, the game can speak for itself.
It hurts EVEN MORE when you know about that Samaritan tech demo. It WAS a game, it WAS being made. But Epic changed, just like Valve and many others, and wanted to focus on Multiplayer only games.
This video talks about that: https://youtu.be/oqg4ub5ao9s
It's really a shame. As far as I know, Cliff was involved in this project. When it was cancelled, he tried to pitch other games but got rejected. Then he left Epic to do his own thing.
Cliff could be a Kojima-like developer, he could have gone the high-risk path and make an AAA game that feels unique. But it's a shame that he too made ANOTHER multiplayer only game that died.
