Polygon: The PlayStation 4 lineup has two more confirmed games, Zombie Studios' first-person shooter Blacklight: Retribution and Primal Carnage: Genesis from Lukewarm Media, a pair of independently-developed titles due to be self-published on Sony's next-gen console.
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.
That's like saying buying cod at 60 is bad..cause you know a new version is coming and you won't play last years
Not even slightly the same. I can still play Modern Warfare 2 because, guess what, it still works online AND it has offline modes. This applies to I think every Call of Duty game.
With Blacklight, everything you've ever purchased is gone forever after the servers are gone, and you can never play the game again.
Is there no other f2p games.....Apex legends just came out..play the new version
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.
I need to see some gameplay. I need a dinosaur game.
Sony is really aiming to make the PS4 a massive success. Just from what we have seen so far, and the fact that games are regularly being revealed for the system before its full reveal, I think owners of this next gen machine will be quite happy with their purchase.
This game looks sick, I hope it doesn't disappoint. Been waiting for a good dinosaur game for ages now since Jurassic Park.
Blacklight I will pass on but it was fun while it lasted. I do love to see that though, more free to play PC games should aim to be on the PS4, games like Raider Z I think would be great or Loadout.
Blacklight is nice, its one of those games that you dont feel cheated out of a life Because someone was hiding in a corner or lagg. or the dozens of other problems you run into these days. XD but the gimicky weapons for high level/money players can be really infuriating some times.
Free-to-play games are generally second rate and not very good. Unfortunately Steam is swarming with them.
