Firefall completely shut down along with its website and social media accounts completely at random without telling its...

They had to fire everyone, apparently nobody has worked there for a week, they just left it running till it shut down.

It was fun while it lasted

Better question is do you believe him

...

I just know that game from that Mega 64 thing which admittedly was pretty funny and I commend Mark Kern for going along with it.

game had potential but it felt like it was 1/10th of what it was supposed to be

You could say he's my Todd Howard

Nailed it.

I swear I must have read news along the lines of "Firefall is revamping EVERYTHING, this time promises to fix problems" like 6 times.

I played it around the second revamp, I really enjoyed the PvP because it reminds me a lot of Global Agenda but it's a horrible shame that all this mismanagement botched it. From what I hear it was complete hell to even get out the gate, with lots of internal conflicts and nasty shit.

I've never even heard of this game before now.

You know what bothers me the most about this is that the game will most likely never be played again.

I doubt the community is going to get a server running and god knows the company behind it isn't going to do a damn thing about just releasing a offline version or the code for people to run a server.

I'd be pissed if I had ever spent money on this thing.

Of course people here wouldnt have heard of this game.
Holla Forums is shill central, unless peopple are paid too, they wont be talking about any game.
This month was shill for Blizzard month.

...

You don't know shit, it was incredible fun. Playing with dragonfly medics, shitposting about which battleframes are the best and who's a shitter and spending so much time with Warbros.
GIVE IT BACK GOD DAMNIT.

...

Good riddance. It's kinda shit they didn't give players a heads up, but anyone still playing this trash beyond the alpha deserves whatever they get.

user…

He's trying again.

I'm sure his 10 followers will be thoroughly disappointed if he doesn't deliver.

Who is

Why do games involving jetpacks always seem to crash and burn?

I guess Douk 3D and the Tribes series(Ascend and Vengeance aside) didn't.
Actually come to think of it isn't there supposedly a new update coming out for tribes today? I don't remember what it had besides removing screenshake

Because they usually have no substance (and thus, fuel)

...

I think Dark Void had plenty of substance to it, it's just that it was tied to a shitty cover shooter and Capcom's and whoever was developing the game's incompetence

I am interested

Mark Kern's trying again with Ember, made in his tabletop setting.

It's Hi-Rez trying to remove all access possible to Global Agenda, except you can still install Global Agenda through their launcher and play it. It's just that no one's playing it.

i liked the first area but by the second it felt padded, probably to encourage people to buy whatever the fucks to get around easier

i hope its oppai loli

Man I wish I could just have a thread on incredibly incompetent devs, Hirez would be my subject.
Did you know if you had two hirez games installed on your PC, let's say Smite and Paladins. If you want to play Smite while there's a Paladins update just released it won't let you, it'll give you a "Smite is waiting for a Paladins update" message and not let you play until that update's been finished, or you decided to uninstall the other game.

I forgot this piece of shit even existed.

my friend with bad taste got me to play it. why are all MMOs this awful? it's like a real game but you trade a well made game for seeing other people that you never interact with run around.

I actually got into the SUPER early betas of Firefall and never played it because the game was a fucking unplayable mess.

Some time ago, I can't remember when, I got back into the game when I had literally nothing else to do. Grinded out a few classes, had some fun, participated in world events. The most fun I actually had in the game was traveling back to the starting area and crafting really powerful weapons for newbies and watching them go wild.

Firefall died for a good reason: it just wasn't a very good, focused game.

It was fun for a bit, but got boring fast. I remember going around with a moustache and a cowboy hat just punching everything to death cause weapons were for pussies. That and cause of the ridiculous XP and creds you got, managing to get a group of people to form a highway patrol. Best though is when I found a glitch that allowed me to use a glider repeatedly meaning I could fly permanently along with become completely immune to the melding. Best time I had though is when I settled one of the devs events with a dance off.

Cause nobody has any idea how to make MMO's these days.

Who cares.

Dubs.

Just read this. He was fucked over hard. Being a developer sucks so much.

EA/DICE could learn a thing or two.

The best part of firefall was the mega64 livestream, arguably the best thing they've done in years

weak excuse. it's great if it's clearly alt-history fantasy.
t. history buff

Battlefield 1 is pretending to be historic, that's fucking awful.
Hidden and Dangerous 2 was somewhat historic, but had super-science, that's awesome.
