First person shooter games have always had a special place in gamers hearts. It’s no wonder that some of the all-time best games are from this category. And because of this success we are now seeing this genre converge with MMO games. This new emerging MMO category, MMOFPS, focuses on the action-packed games that you control in first-person view. Although online first-person shooters have been around for some time (like Halo and Call of Duty), these MMOFPS games incorporate MMO elements such as leveling, armor upgrades, and special abilities into the mix.
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.
Revive Network kept fans happy with a few long dead Battlefield titles, but today that all stops.
Planet side 2 will destroy its competition. Especially since its f2p and not pay 2 win.
Personally, I think that if a game is to be considered an MMO, it has to have a free-roam sandbox.
If those games are MMOs, then also count Battlefield and CoD as MMOs.
A true first-person MMO game is yet to be made, at least a good one.
