This year Sony has really upped the ante where indie games and free-to-play titles are concerned. During E3 and Gamescom 2013, the console giant paraded a wealth of titles coming to PlayStation 4, one of which is Zombie Studios’ Blacklight: Retribution.
For the uninitiated, Retribution is a follow-up to Blacklight: Tango Down, a downloadable shooter which launched on PSN/XBLA some years ago.
Blacklight Retribution PS4 operations will continue without official support but the game's PC version has been shut down.
Shut the servers down but let people host their own and keep these games active for those who want to play. Its bullshit when they kill a game completely when they could easy patch it for hosting / creating online content
Hardsuit Labs has mentioned that the Blacklight Retribution servers are shutting down on March 11 for PC, though PS4 version will continue as is. All items in the PC store are now free.
Remember playing this when I first got a ps4. Never good news to see games shut down I guess one day online only games can bite the dust
This is why buying into these sort of games are a bad idea.
See this is why online mp only games effing sucks and definitely will never support them. ;)
Depending how much of a cult following it has, it could be revived by some mod team in the distant future. Similar cases have happened with games like 2142 and Star Wars Galaxies.
Blacklight Retribution review with screenshots and videos.
meh.
Free-To-Play, so i'll give it a try, looks pretty good.
I'm very excited for these new consoles and but not so much the games. I can't wait till next year to start getting the games that are only available and possible on these console so i can truly see the beauty of these new machines.
Bring on GT7, Whatever Sony Santa monica is working on, Infamous SS and The last Uncharted Drakes Daxter or whatever Naughty Dog's next game will be.
Come on validate my early purchase baby. Because lets be honest outside of KZ:SF for the PS4 and maybe Forza 5 on the X1 these launch games just aren't doing it. I'm looking at you Ghost. *Straight face*
Honestly I think it's a good move to get the game ready for PS4 launch. There's only going to be 3 main FPS at retail when the system launches, (Killzone, BF4, COD). Better to get the game game out now before the market gets flooded with games.
Looks like crap in all honesty. If this looks next gen to you good lord.... Sticking to BF4 and KZ at launch
