Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Cliff Bleszinski: Switch’s concept is “brilliant”, Lawbreakers for Switch Could Happen.

Have we not seen games that have barely sold on the PS4 and X1 sell much better on the switch. With game modes made specifically for the system it could excel. As for the game itself, seems like a very bias bunch here. The majority of reviews are very favorable for the game and it seems like it provide a unique experience. Are we now judging a game by how much it sells instead of actually how good the game is..

I don't think anyone is judging it by how well it sells, but when you have such a game dropping to 10 concurrent players, surely the logical conclusion from that is that the people that bought it clearly don't feel it worth playing.

I'm not a nintendo fan, not even close, as many in the thread will happily tell you, but given how dismissive cliff b was of the switch early on, why should Nintendo fans get hyped for a game that he's wafting under thier noses that's clearly struggling to retain a player base on other platforms, that he's seemingly only considering bringing to switch because it's proven itself to be a solid platform and doing well in install base thus far.

Why would Nintendo fans see this as anything more than trying to cash grab for a failing game, regardless of what reviews say? 



This is good, it can add 4 more people to the 10 people that the lawbreakers community has.

If you think about it, it shares many similarities with the Switch.

What?

Game is unpopular and barely anyone's playing it

Switch is popular and selling like hotcakes

What similarities are you talking about?

Millions of people caring about it doesnt equate to 10 concurrent players.

There's 20+ year old mmo's out there with 2000+ concurrent players despite said games having sequels.

Dropping to 10 concurrent players goes flat against what you're saying 

 

This is Poe's law in action haha. No worries though, we've all fell victim to it.

Do we know how much the game sold compared to concurrent players.  If the game did not sell enough then people will not play it because the player base is to small.  

Where are the statements from Cliff is or were about the Switch.  I personally have not heard anything from him but then again its not like I read developers post on twitter or anything and I doubt your average Nintendo fan does as well.

88? Sure it's not a type and just means 8?

FFXI came out on the PS2! back in early 2002.

Its a mmo that currently has like 85k active player characters (that are useing the auction house) (lets assume something like 60k players).

15 years lateron, and it still has like 60k players.... its nothing short of amasing.

Wish it would go F2P, its model is well suited for it.



Highly doubt LB would do well on Switch. I'd rather get Overwatch for Switch.
