Blog: The Future of Shooters is RPGs

Cliff Bleszinski recently talked to Develop about the future of first-person shooters and where they’re headed.

“When I first saw BioShock I thought, ‘how is this going to sell?’ As a nerd I thought it was amazing but I was worried that a fifteen year old kid would pick it up and think ‘what the f*** am I looking at’?” said Bleszinski. “But it pleased me to no end that the game did so well. I had a conversation with Harvey Smith – one of the lead designers on Deus Ex – and said to him the future of shooters is RPGs. He said he completely agreed.”

While proud of his success at Epic Games and the Gears of War series, Bleszinski stated his ambitions goals in advancing the company. “[I’d like] to continue to make very trans-media-friendly properties, and maintain our existing ones, and see what happens with the Gears series, and create new universes, and leverage our partners at People Can Fly, and Chair Entertainment, and continue to get our properties into comic books, and novels, and film.”
