Unfortunately for him, there are people who'll continue to compare games with one another. He also admits being glad about the success of Overwatch, as it somehow gives significance to the genre, as noted by GamingBolt.

He remembered how a certain 'kid' was trolling him about this comparison on Instagram.Īs of this writing, Bleszinski is all about hoping big things for his forthcoming title. That his heroes who possess Gatling guns are quite similar to the latter, who has two rotating automatic canons equipped. The popular gaming designer also shared a comparison players made between LawBreakers characters and D.Va from Overwatch. So, in one way or another, there's nothing he can do but accept the fact that it's just relative. In fact, as he explained, human beings love to 'pattern-match' things. After all, he's been 'dealing' with this sort of thing for his entire career. For him, it's something he's grown accustomed to. It's worth noting that he's made a name out of being the lead designer of the titular Gears of War.Īpparently, Bleszinski has his own two cents to share to the community. This is what Cliff Bleszinski's up-and-coming game is experiencing.

Take for instance Battleborn and Paladins, though the latter is seriously close to Blizzard's. They're basically referring to LawBreakers.Īccording to PC Gamer, Overwatch has been compared to various games, of the same genre, of today. And this is also the very reason why players - not all of them - tend to raise a brow when a near-duplicate of it rises. Regardless, it's a fact that this Blizzard game is quite unique on its own way. Well, it is, though it borrowed the concept of pioneer titles such as Team Fortress 2. While there are some who won't agree, many believe that Overwatch is a totally different kind of shooter game.
