Cliff Bleszinksi’s New Game “Silverstreak” To Be PC-Only Arena Shooter

Posted Dec 11 2013 by Dylan Zellmer with 8 Comments

During a recent podcast, Cliffy B dropped several details about his upcoming IP (Silverstreak). Namely that it will be a PC-only Arena FPS. He also mentioned that he’s still on good terms with the team at Epic, but can’t elaborate any further (UE4?). The designer also stated he’s ready to get back in the game proper and start his own studio. He’s looking to utilize Unreal Engine 4 technology for his new IP and would like to return to his roots for the project.

He also spoke very highly of the Oculus Rift VR headset, possibly teasing support for the device. By reading between the lines, the project may be Kickstarter bound.

Cliff, with all his money and connections in the industry, is still gonna kickstart this game? I don’t like this trend of high profile individuals and companies exploiting the platform for their own devices. Kickstarter seemingly was designed to get the “most indie” of ideas, from the most humble beginnings, the chance of coming to fruition; not for established companies to use as their angel investors/R&D lab.

My two cents, don’t have to agree with it.

  It’s a trend that many aren’t comfortable with, but I can tell you after working with hundreds of crowdfunding campaigns; it’s there for everyone. It’s basically evolved into a marketing platform more than anything nowadays.

    It really sets a strange precedent letting the consumer determine the success of a product or idea before it even hits the market. It also allows the consumer to pledge for value-added options that the community as a whole may find value in. These two things are inherently good for everyone involved.
    
    Maybe it’s my resistance to change speaking but I just feel like these companies are looking at how to exploit the benefits of kickstarter (trendy, indie association, brings in significant additional funding) without taking advantage of it’s true potential (delivering the exact product the community wants, with voting and funding accordingly).
