GB: "We recently caught up with Zombie studios director Jared Gerritzen to talk about their upcoming free to play game for the PlayStation 4, Blacklight Retribution. We got a chance to ask about how it was developing for Sony's next generation console, the DualShock 4 controller, the in-game monetization model, the possibility of new content and post launch support."
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.
Lot of articles about this game lately. I figure I'll give it a try for myself since it is free. I do like the fact that the game is ported with max settings but I do not believe it is pushing too hard compared to a game like Battlefield 4 or Crysis 3.
[“As Blacklight evolves out of Beta, we plan to use as many of the PlayStation 4 peripherals as possible, but we are very happy to hear that the PlayStation will not only be using on-board streaming functions but capture cards will be able to get game footage via the HDMI cables themselves."
I hope Sessler is reading this!
["Rashid Sayed: The PS4 version looks absolutely gorgeous. But does it hold up against a high end PC running Blacklight Retribution?
Jared Gerritzen: We have all the PC settings cranked up to their highest setting on the PlayStation 4, so it holds up great! We are really happy how the transition between high end PC and PlayStation 4 works for us."]
["Rashid Sayed: Can you please let us know what resolution and fps does Blacklight Retribution run on the PlayStation 4?
Jared Gerritzen: We are currently at 1080p, and as the game evolves we are targeting the highest frame rates possible"]
Great news.
#PS4GreatnessAwaits.
Everyday we just get more and more good news.
This is a great game on PC, and it really does look incredible on pc, and I don't even run it on max settings. I'm a little more comfortable on consoles, so I will def. download this day 1 on ps4. Since the new cod sucks so much (IMO, just mine) this will take it's spot for my twitch, fast paced shooter.
will there be cross play between the PS4 and PC?
