We saw developer finally announce its multiplayer spin-off at last week's Xbox Partner Preview, and it looks… cool, as far as multiplayer shooters go. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:FBC: Firebreak puts you in the shoes of a first responder in the 𒆙Federal Bureau of Control, the𓆏 brutalist federal agency building we see Jesse Faden exploring in the main game.
In the three-player cooperative FPS, this unit of Firebreakers has to control “reality-warping anomalies” and “otherworldly monsters”, according to the game’s . You’ll have unique tools and skills to customise your loadout with, and you’ll also be incentivised t🏅o improvise with whatever you can find in the environm🍌ent.
There’s plenty of that delicious Control DNA apparent in the game’s trailer. The building will be familiar to anybody who’s played Control, as will its spooky enemies, surreal and twisty interiors, and gorgeous art style. We also see a garden gnome, presumably an Object of Power, detonate in the middle of a fight and fry the enemies around🐬 it.
What The Success Of Silent Hill 2 Cou🦂ld Mean For The Future
Can we expect r🤡emakes, remasters, fresh stories, or something entirely new foꩲr Silent Hill?
It’s got more style than most contemporary shooters, and the incredible setting that Remedy created is likely to pique a lot of people’s interest. Combat looks frenetic and smooth, and it seems to have theဣ mix of the absurd and serious you’d expect from a Remedy game. Quite frankly, it piqued my interest, and I don’t typically like shooters.
We also know that Control and Alan Wake 2 share a universe, and could eventually have ꧂a crossover, which could appeal to existing fans.
But all the same, it is a live-service multiplayer game. It will have post-release content, and you’ll play it with other people. While game director Mike Kayatta states that FBC “should be easy to get into and quickly understandable, not feel like a second job or that you have to spend an hour ℱsetting up your loadouts etc. before you get into a session”, and similarly pushes against its description as a game as a service, it still very much is that.
Despite its pedigree, the familiar and compelling world the game is set in, and the way it plays with lore while adapting familiar shooter mechanics like ultimates, it’s entering a gaming landscape where we’re seeing live-service game after live-service game fall apart. There are already so many of them that the market is totally saturated. We just saw Concord crash and burn less than two months ago.
I don’t want FBC: Firebreak to crash and burn. I very much want the opposite of that. I like Remedy and its games, and multiplayer games with unique hooks can succeed – just look at – but it’s all too easy for perfectly good ideas to fail in this industry, especially when they’re so reliant on hooking players who already dedicate so much of their time to other live-service games. Some fans of Rem🥂edy’s single-player games might make the jump, but will it be enough to make the 🦂game a success? There’s really no way of knowing, and while I’m hoping for the best, I’m not so sure my optimism is founded.
