  Looks like Sony is after their own Back 4 Blood.

    How did that game pan out? Last I heard the hype died down pretty fast, I didn‘t follow it further.

  Another live service bullshit endeavour for Sony

  I hope it’s not another Sony attempt at a live service game.

    They‘ve been so successful with singleplayer stuff but would somehow rather burn billions failing live services than sticking with them. They could‘ve put that money into several offline experiences and made at least SOME money but yeah, rather lose MOUNTAINS of money, I guess.

  Looks inside: Season passes and micro-transaction skins.

  You can’t be out of the game this long and think you’re going to make another left 4 dead. We saw that with back 4 blood and we will see it with this one.

    I mean, Spielburg brought us Medal of Honor and that slapped hard. I bet JJ could make something cool.

  It feels like so many devs and studios have been trying to bring back the magic of that era but L4D was such a product of the times. Hard to imagine any similar games in that vein succeeding today.

    I don’t know about that. If Valve made Left 4 Dead 3 with some minor iterative improvements (better graphics, same gameplay, maybe a new mode) and no trash monetisation (B2P like the first two games), I think it would be very successful.

  Not a huge fan of multiplayer games, but can be fun with friends.

  As for people who don’t like live service games, Sony has mentioned multiple times that the budget for live service games is completely separate from single player games. The issue was that they previously put their good single player studios to making these games, as long as they get proper third party or specialised studios for these and leave their first party studios for first party, I am happy.
