The XDefiant player count has reached 10 million in less than two weeks, which was more than expected. Team Deathmatch mode incoming soon.
Paul Tassi: "Sony recently reiterated its commitment to live service games with one big hit last year (Helldivers 2), one big cancellation (The Last of Us Factions) and one big failure (Concord). It’s no great surprise it is continuing down this road, given the way the industry is trending and the limited shelf life of its famed single player games. But it immediately made me think of a game that Sony is allegedly releasing that I have to believe is pre-destined to fail, Fairgame$."
Fairgame$ feels like it's destined to flop out the gate- that initial trailer felt full of that same instantly-dated 'fight The Man with a ragtag team of weirdos' energy that was prevalent in Sega's Hyenas (which they wisely cancelled.) Unlike Marathon I just don't see this standing a chance.
It will definitely flop, missed the boat by a couple of years. Agreed that Marathon has a decent chance of succeeding it looks genuinely good and interesting.
It can't be sustainable having all these expensive GaaS being DOA being balanced by the odd modest success like Helldivers. The aim is to find the new Fortnite or whatever but it's highly unlikely and seems to be a massive waste of money.
With all of the upcoming XDefiant content now released, fans find the experience bittersweet and hope everyone the best.
XDefiant fans have come together to create a petition in hopes of saving the game. Created by Nytefall, the petition already has over 500 backers.
Jumped in a had a blast on my first couple matches. I made a difference in the fight despite being level one and both matches were fun. Can’t say the same for The Finals, but this free to play doesn’t even require PS Plus so it scratches the itch for me.
