Ex-Epic Games dude Cliff Bleszinski let slip the codename of his new IP recently, and it's named after a Transformer. He was being interviewed and the interviewer was asking him about his favorite Transformer, to which Bleszinski replied, "My first Transformer was Bluestreak - which was later changed to Silverstreak or something like that - which is the codename of the new IP I'm gestating on slowly."

He also later stated, "I don't want the chainsaw gun to be my legacy."

"Whenever someone puts together a 'Top 50 Weapons in Video Games,' there's like the Halo sword, the Lancer, like it's there with everything else, like Doom BFG and that's really flattering.

"But a lot of these kids who have only been playing games for the last however many years, they think that's the only thing I ever did. They forget about Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal Tournament that I worked on, things like Bulletstorm, a little bit on Shadow Complex, things like that. 

"Moving forward I'd like to work on something new and fresh and kinda redefine my legacy.

"Steven Spielberg didn't want to be known for just E.T., right? So he made a lot of different kinda things."

Cliffy also reiterated his belief that video games these days are too easy and cited games like Dark Souls and The Legend of Zelda for not being too easy, which has led some to thing that he has something more hardcore in mind for his new IP. Whatever it is.
