Just when you thought no one else could make another new BR

It appears of all people,  Pearl Abyss / CCP are.  Props to MassivelyOP who clued me in, but this story I found explains better who Hadean is and their goal of this "test." (it specifically calls it a BR test which the Massively story fails to mention)

    Well the flooding of BR games seems ridiculous,we should realize that once the gimmick/trend begins ,it takes a couple years or so for many to get THEIR version finished.I am not surprised CCP would jump in,not a very intelligent operation and again very late to the party.Then again some will say APEX,late to the party,look how well they are doing,well for one lUCKY there are 10-20 unlucky dead in the water attempts.

    Reason we see so many bad games being copied is because once one makes some good money,they are very low cost games to make,so nothing for 20/30/50 more studios to go ahead and wtf let's just do it.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Except a few hundred thousand players disagree with your baseless opinions. Anyway, on to the topic.

    It's a nice niche to shoot for, hey if you wanna be in the biggest BR, in space, we got ya. I am warming up to the BR concept. There is a lot of strategies that go into winning a round and a heap of individual skill. Not sure if I will jump on the wagon but they are looking more interesting.

    If you want a new idea, go read an old book.

    In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.

    BR games are the new WOW. PUBG took off, then every developer thought they were clever and started developing their own flavor.

    I see Apex as the BR-WoW. PUBG was the EQ1 and Apex took everything good and remade it into one game (PUBG being to simulation heavy, fortnite being to crazy, H1Z1 don't want to talk about it).

    If they don't mess up, no other BR will be successful any more.

    How dare game companies add game elements that are popular and successful in other games! Don't they know they're only supposed to be resurrecting game features that were dropped due to a lack of participation decades ago?

    The horror, I tell you. The horror.

    Really need to blame the players, not the developers. Just as you should be blaming the voters, not the politicians.

    No, neither of those things is true at all.

    Players play what they want to play, or they don't. Always have, always will. Developers make games that a) they want to play, because they are players too, and b) they make games that players want to play. It's that simple.

    Niche games are just that - niche, and there are plenty of devs who cater to specific niches too.

    As for politicians, yes, you do blame them. When you are giving two options in an election, and both of them are usually bad, you either don't participate or knowingly choose the lesser of two evils.

    That's not the voters fault - that's the politicians who have engineered and rigged this game for a generations.

    I assume you are talking US, and we are neither a functional democracy nor a functional republic, as the will of the people (the mob) is blatantly ignored, and our "representation" via the republic is a joke at best.

    I think the comparison isn't so bad.

    Players are a diverse group with a huge range of interests and wildly varying levels of engagement with developers. Developers are largely mobbed by special interests that represent the interests of only a few people. Some have the playerbase's best interests at heart, some are in it for themselves, and it's not always easy to tell which is which because all of them have to constantly keep in mind that without money, they're out of business.

    Sounds a lot like a realistic view of politics to me.

    EVE isnt a game, it's a virtual universe simulation. 

    OK, with moves like this, not so much anymore.

    Actually looks like it will be it's own new game, and CCP needs to find success somewhere besides EVE.

    Farmville add a BR mode yet?

    I'm pretty sure EVE is a game and a simulation at the same time. Shocking, I know, but there it is.

    At least it's a space sim and not just another shooter... that's something.

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Jumping on the bandwagon seems like such an inadequate idiom at this point.
