A new rumor cites the XDefiant delay is caused by Ubisoft pushing the devs to make the game more like COD, which the dev team has debunked.
The XDefiant Server Test Session has come and gone, and while it proved the game is fun, there are a few key changes that needs to happen.
The last test was fun. But I feel if I played it for 2 weeks or so I would get bored of it at the 2 weeks mark.
I gave up super early on this one the game aesthetically isn't very pleasing to the eyes, everything looks too clean and environments look like they are too deliberately designed to be shooting arena's or galleries instead of locations with personality. Gameplay wise there game is responsive and the gunplay is nice the movement seems fluid, but hit detection is a big issue, i'm actually surprised a lot of people haven't spoken on this, but it is incredibly bad in some situations.
Most people who have been around to suffer the Ups and Downs of COD likely remember the days of poor hit detection, it's been addressed over the years, but XDefiant takes it to a new level in some regards. I don't know if that will be addressed before official release or not, but at this point I feel like another truly competent Arcade style twitch shooter that isn't trying to be a battle royale or something coming around is just a pipe dream.
Sker Ritual is a welcome surprise to your PS5 game rotation, and we're glad it was there, as XDefiant's brief return fails to impress.
The hit-reg is awful and they're "aware" of it but still haven't fixed it. This being a Ubisoft game makes me want to see it fail. They are going to monetize it to death just like they will be doing with The Division Heartland.
Not seeing the XDefiant Echelon class in the session test? The faction has been pulled entirely due to a bug making it overpowered.
