Bleszkinski: shooters take themselves so seriously

For all the epic games that Epic Games has churned out so far, you'd be surprised to know that one of the biggest challenges they face is not really the pressure of producing quality titles, but rather, making them for the shooters.

In Qore's latest episode, Cliff Bleszinski divulged that their biggest challenge would be the fact that most shooters take themselves "so seriously". So he said: "“The biggest challenge with this game was getting to the point where we could develop an IP that was fun, something that was pulpy, but wasn’t really over the line [right], there’s a really fine line there, if you look at where the state of shooters are right now it’s very serious.”

He also spoke out about why he thought Bulletstorm was different from other military shooters. According to him, you could "put a montage of all these militay shooters togethe and you wouldn't even recognize them."

“Bulletstorm’s just like screw that, let’s just put a big boot in peoples face, let’s have crazy lines of dialogue, over the top weapons, just put the fun back in the first person shooter. I think its hands down one of the most fun games I’ve played in years.”

Bulletstorm comes out for the PC, Xbox 360 and PC on February 22, 2011.

Most shooters these days are disgusting. I'll not be playing anything from Activision, their games are so 'cookie-cutter' it's not funny. The genre is flooded and stagnant. It's time to step away from the war shooters and create something fun like the article suggests.

I wish they'd allow M/KB controls on consoles already too.

That would defeat the purpose of a console. You want a mouse and keyboard, use a computer.

Oh yeah? Wait till Crisis 2 hits the stores in March and we'll watch Cliff eat his own words.
