Support NeoGAF

[Tashi]

Cliffy you had my curiosity but now you have my attention.

 

[Big_Al]

Despite some of the utter shit Cliffy B talks at times I like the man as a designer and I'd love to see him kickstart/produce a new arena shooter. He did a lot of fantastic maps. My interest is rising (and if he gets it off the ground my cash shall be ready too)

 

[IHaveCandy]

Uncanny Competition GO GO GO!!!

 

[Conor 419]

Consistently shitty opinions, I don't know how you guys do it.

I love arena shooters, but Cliffy B & exclusive to PC?

lol

Heard it on Kevin Pereira's podcast on iTunes today, interesting listen.

Other tidbits...

-He can't talk in detail about the Epic split, but is still on good terms with some of them.
-Says he's ready to get back in the game and start his own studio.
-Hopes to use Unreal engine.
-Wants to get back to his roots with this project.
-He also speaks highly of the Oculus so the game will probably have support for that.
-Just speculation on my part for this, but I think Kickstarter might be the route he will go.

Curbstomp if old.

Cliff B is an investor in Oculus. Of course he is going to speak highly.

 

[I H8 Memes]

So Cliffy comes crawling back to us.

lol

Back to his roots

 

[bee]

i doubt 2gd will ever make reborn but arena shooters are in a mini revival, with this, maybe reborn and reflex http://reflexfps.com/ there's even rumours of a quakelive 2.0 on the horizon, modern shooters are so boring i hope at least one of these is good

oh yeah and quake won!

 

[LTWheels]

You had me at PC.

 

[IHaveCandy]

I love arena shooters, but Cliffy B & exclusive to PC?

lol

You know Cliffy has a history in video games prior to Gears of War, right?

 

[Kade]

Macklemore is a stretch goal.

 

[hemtae]

I love arena shooters, but Cliffy B & exclusive to PC?

lol

PC exclusive is the best case scenario other than releasing console versions a few years down the line.

 

[BloodMoney]

must have flak cannon

 

[saelz8]

Please happen!

 

[H3xum]

H3xum says: so?

 

[eot]

Played that so much.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Just waiting for that one coy Cliffy post that will make this thread explode.

 

[Big_Al]

I'm also not surprised that this is happening. It was clear from what he said a while ago (even whilst still at Epic) that he wanted to focus more on game mechanics and the stories that can result from that. I could see an arena shooter being a result of those ambitions (as a starter option at least)

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I love arena shooters, but Cliffy B & exclusive to PC?

lol

This post is all sorts of wrong.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Some of the replies in this thread..... lol

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

If Sony was smart they'd give this guy the money to start up a studio and make a shooter for them.

this, sony would finally have a good exclusive shooter.

 

[Silphonica]

Arena shooter hype train.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Just waiting for that one coy Cliffy post that will make this thread explode.

I sent him a tweet that there is a thread here he may want to look at lol

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Hah what?

This is not something I ever expected to hear.

 

[Facism]

Played that so much.

Great map for iLMS.

 

[Protein]

More like UT99/U2004 and less like UT3.

AS-Hellbender-RaceBetaV2.61545413 with Oculus Rift please.

 

[The Technomancer]

PC only arena shooter? Oh god please let this be good

 

[Bookoo]

Doesn't Cliffy B. talk shit about the PC all the time? I guess the Rift has changed his mind.

 

[Goldmund]

Hope not. The amount of 0's in his bank account should pay for his new project.

Don't be ridiculous. You never use your own money to fund a commercial product.

 

[DJIzana]

So Cliffy comes crawling back to us.

Pretty sure the man is FAR from crawling back to anyone. He's Dude Huge. Huge success and he's likely doing this for fans of the arena shooter genre (and I'm sure for the money too) but yeah.. far from any "crawling back" stage.

 

[nynt9]

If Sony was smart they'd give this guy the money to start up a studio and make a shooter for them.

He hates Sony too much for that to happen.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

PC exclusive arena shooter ?

I'm there Clifford.

Dude Hugely Unemployed you mean?

 

[DJIzana]

Dude Hugely Unemployed you mean?

The man has barrels of money. He's an investor in the Oculus Rift, too. Pretty sure he's good for awhile lol.

 

[UltraGunner]

Oh man, oculus rift arena shooter is gonna cause soo many broken necks.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

I sent him a tweet that there is a thread here he may want to look at lol

Lol Hope he bites.

 

[CharmingCharlie]

Hm I think CliffyB's interest in his "roots" will probably disappear right around the time a future Microsoft cheque clears his bank. Not to mention why does he even care about his roots ? He hasn't cared about PC gaming since the Xbox 360's release and has used every single opportunity to take giant shits on the PC platform.

 

[out0v0rder]

I hate arena shooters, ugh.

yeah all those pc arena shooter that have been coming out in the last couple of years, ugh.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

shooter? You dont say.

TOO BAD MOTHERFUCKER

 

[CountAntonius]

Make it on the source engine....

Sure, but you're only as good as your last gig. Cliffy isn't exactly some bright up and comer any more, he hasn't done much in the eyes of the public but sit around scratching his balls and tweeting since he left Epic.

 

[abunai]

Come set a new standard for netcode cliffy. Thanks.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

I sent him a tweet that there is a thread here he may want to look at lol

haha that's awesome

 

[Madness]

Arena shooter? Wants to go back to his roots? I'm in day 1 as well. Can't wait to see more.

 

[Bookoo]

Oh man, oculus rift arena shooter is gonna cause soo many broken necks.

I really hope he does support rift on it. I know a lot of people say Rift probably wouldn't be good in a fast paced competitive shooter, but I had a blast in TF2.

 

[Pociask]

Was it Cliffy B who said in an interview that he liked doing private game reviews, for his own consumption?

I was kinda hoping he'd really stretch his creative muscles and try out some non-shooters. Ah well. Good luck Cliffy B, the world needs Arena Shooters too.

 

[hEist]

Arena shooter?
If he drops the word "translocator", i'm sold.

 

[Sdoots]

MISSSSSSSSSSSSSTTER CRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW

Isn't this what all developers say after not having a title come out for a while. I'll remain skeptical.

 

[Barakov]

I'm definitely interested in this.
