Don't forget that after it shut down, they were like "gently caress we need money NOW" so they shat out an alpha of a battle royale game, called it Super Early Access, and charged people for microtransactions in it
it was the better of their two games. the bike mechanics were sick

I have a friend who plays a lot of these arena shooters and each time one shuts down he’ll say something like “man it was so good but people didn’t give it a chance :(“, each time

I believe him but it’s funny too

I'm glad when games like Lawbreakers still have their abandoned official media channels up even years later. You can see how devs were working on their game right up until the point the proverbial plug gets pulled.

And see things they would try to do to keep interest in the game going like this:

Oh, oh dear.

If only Lawbreakers had teamed up with Justin Rolland, they could have really found their audience.

Yeah that's what my oh dear was for. Someone on that team made the decision to spend what I assume was a good amount of the budget on getting him.

That's actually the most charitable version of events I can think of because the other version is that Cliffy B and Justin are/were/are friends and Justin did it as a favor to him because they get along so well and maybe share the same interests going by that old rear end post Cliffy made here like two or so decades ago.

I'm not doing a pixel by pixel comparison, but I played the Division for the first time last month, and it's a gorgeous game, with a sleek presentation. I'd say it lives up to what I remember of the pre-release footage even if it technically might miss the mark.



It's also my favorite tactical shooter in recent memory.

I'd also argue that Killzone 2 eventually delivered the goods that they initially faked.

It looked better in some ways worse in others, overall sort of a wash in terms of reputation. But the game itself looks extremely good to this day.

Do you feel the same way?
It was dumb, because as good as it and Motorstorm ended up looking, that plain and simple wasn’t engine footage.

I was going to say I miss Killzone, but they made that PS4 game that wasn't very good, so I guess not.
I guess Killzone was never great, but at least it was very different from the other console shooters.
