Free FPS Blacklight Retribution Shows Off Cutting-Edge Graphics

Perfect World Entertainment is pleased to present a DirectX 11 flythrough video for its upcoming, futuristic first person shooter (FPS), Blacklight Retribution, which highlights what PC enthusiasts can look forward to in term of graphics.

Dayum, we've got F2P games that are starting to look better than the AAA console exclusives in the graphics department.

Good to see someone using the dx11 ability in Unreal Engine! I hope this becomes a trend! Seems to be way more support than the days of dx10..

If PC gaming is not getting better and better every week I will eat my own head!

Ducky4686d ago (Edited 4686d ago )

Yea, but console devs have to sweat their way through static hardware to get those fancy effects whereas the PC devs just hump the newer, fancier GPUs.
Not really a fair comparison there.

The visual special effects look good, but the overall feel is just too familiar for me.
Reminds me of neotokyo for some reason, might just be the location though.

kevnb4685d ago

the idea of a console is getting more redundant by the day, have you seen what phones and tablets we buy anyway can do? Imagine in 5 years!

xtreampro_REVENGE!4685d ago

Exactly! everything's changing so fast that the next generation of consoles could be the last.

ATiElite4685d ago (Edited 4685d ago )

For a F2P game that does look pretty dam good. G onna have to mosey on over to their site and check them out.

DX11 is kicking ASS every time and yeh time for new consoles cause it's getting pretty ugly for Consoles everytime we see a DX11 game.

Looks really great for a F2P FPS game!

xX-StolenSoul-Xx4686d ago

this game is actually terrible for the PS3 version. It's called Blacklight tango down look it up :).

But yea the graphics look very awesome for this version

Ducky4686d ago (Edited 4686d ago )

Tango Down is on PC as well. (...and from what I've heard, isn't all that great on it either)

This is a newer game they're working on.

freemmogamer4686d ago

Blacklight Retribution is a sequel to Tango Down

poopturd_mcgee4686d ago

Those big fancy words sure do make PC gamers horny!

Pandamobile4686d ago

It helps when you know what the big fancy words mean ;)

xtreampro_REVENGE!4685d ago (Edited 4685d ago )

Yeah this game definitely eats every console fps for breakfast.

xtreampro_REVENGE!4685d ago

Have you guys seen this http://www.youtube.com/watc...

It's another F2P game, seriously I never realised they could look this good.

Obviously PC wasn't cuttin it, PS4 is a Juggernaut, makes sense.

letsa_go1901d ago (Edited 1901d ago )

That sucks

Majors1901d ago

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

Blacklight Retribution Servers & Official Support Ending in March, All Items Made Free

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.

LuzCB19871903d ago

Another one bites the dust.

Father__Merrin1903d ago

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

Sgt_Slaughter1903d ago (Edited 1903d ago )

This is why buying into these sort of games are a bad idea.

BlacKJesu51903d ago

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

Sgt_Slaughter1903d ago

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.

BlacKJesu51902d ago

Is there no other f2p games.....Apex legends just came out..play the new version

masterfox1903d ago

See this is why online mp only games effing sucks and definitely will never support them. ;)

Giblet_Head1903d ago

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.

excaliburps1903d ago

Yes, I see this happening if the fanbase is there, too.
