Blacklight: Retribution developer Zombie Studios isn't trying to reinvent the first-person shooter genre. Instead, it's taken familiar modes and combined them with excellent visuals and some of the tightest shooting controls since Call of Duty.
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.
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.
Blacklight: Retribution is a fun game and worth your time! DX11 graphics on a F2P game is a big PLUS!
My only concern is............Switching back and forth between Tribes:Ascend and BL:R is hard to do!
It takes a long minute to get adjusted to the completely different gameplay styles of both excellent games!!!
....and then Ghost Recon Online is coming out along with Warface in the near future! The F2P FPS category is on FIRE right now!!
