Recent developments regarding the ARC Raiders PlayStation and Xbox files suggest that a beta release is set to happen soon.
Burly Bird Media: ARC Raiders has no business being this good. A reasonably objective eye can see it’s not a particularly original conceit within the extraction shooter space, and the scale of its ambition is such that one might expect servers to be wonky or combat to be unbalanced. Yet despite these assumptions, what remains is a title that is fiercely confident in its delivery, and a developer that is leveraging its considerable talent pool (following their barnstorming work on The Finals) to make a game that feels cohesive and ready to drop.
Embark's hidden countdown worked against it, as ARC Raider fans review bombed the studio's other game when it wasn't shadowdropped at SGF.
It was a countdown timer to their release date trailer, it makes sense in a bubble, rather innocent really. I just don't think they were anywhere near aware of people's hype and expectations. It was a bit of a tone deaf mismanagement, and honestly i think people are really over reacting
ok maybe they effed up ... maybe there was a last minute change of plans ... happens ... but nothing to review bomb their other game, The Finals.
Both are excellent games. And the community is just over reacting to a minute digital countdown that wasn't even publicly revealed, proper.
PC gamers over reacting? Who would have thought...
That being said, I feel it needed to come out two months before the end of October. With COD and BF likely to drop around that point, I'm worried ARC is going to get lost which would be a shame as the test recently was amazing. It went from not being on my radar to a game I'm actually looking forward to
Shit happens and you just have to deal with it. It’s called life. But too many these days overreact to anything that doesn’t go their way. It’s just a video game.
Fan are becoming like spoiled children unfortunately. If for some reason things don't go their way they lash at at the wrong things. It can have the opposite effect Review bombing can cause some to not buy a game as it is badly reviewed and then the company needs to layoff staff or work with a smaller budget directly affecting their next game which is Arc Raiders
Maybe we should stop using the word fans in place for 'entilted brats with main character syndrome'.

Stop calling everyone fans.
People are that excited for an online only game that will probably have microtransactions forced on them? Odd
It's an online video game. Tell me I'm wrong regardless who the devs are. C'mon. Be smart
