CheatCC says - The free-to-play game model has been something MMORPG game studios have been taking quite seriously lately. Blacklight: Retribution, the sequel to Blacklight: Tango Down, is looking to apply this F2P model to the first-person shooter genre. I got to spend a little time chatting with the folks at Perfect World about it, as well as getting a brief play session with the game.
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.
"The End of Camping as We Know It?"
Um no camping exist in every fps so whats going to make this game any different?
Minus that ridiculous question this game looks amazing. Graphically I think it can give A.V.A (which also uses the unreal engine) a run for its money. Hopefully PWE can fight hackers better Ijji.
