Spellbreak was fun. I played it a lot with a friend when it came out on ps4. We were absolutely beasting. We were MLG tier, steamrolling everyone other than 1 or 2 teams we came across. Then we figured out we were mostly playing against bots because the game was dead as fuck. Never played after that.

I miss that multiplayer mode. I know it's just The Ship but with parkour, but holy fuck that parkour added a LOT to the experience. It especially sucks, because the lobby size is small enough that you totally do it as a private group game night thing, but then Uplay being involved just sabotages the whole thing all over again.

All the WW1 games. That "Over the Top" game was rad as hell, Im glad I got in when it was active.

I really wish the devs of these kinds of games would realize that they have a shelf life and to make a singleplayer component. Its like if Mount and Blade was only the multiplayer, it wouldnt last, the singleplayer gives it immortality and I wish to see a WW1 game treated the same way. Such a shame.

I think it's fair to say that there are some games that are impossible to properly play due to a lack of players. Like you'd have to have a miracle to piece together enough players out of the blue to reassemble a 64 player lobby/server for some games, rather than it just being a somewhat big ask for your friend group to all play something that just needs 8-12 players.

But yeah there's definitely some examples in this thread where it's less
>I can't play this at all because the servers are shut down
and aren't even
>I can't find players for this
and instead it's just
>Having to actually go play the current way that only has 200 or so players feels like too much of a bother for me, so it's dead

No, don't you understand? A random thirdie on /v/ didn't like the game, so it's a flop! The game isn't the #1 most played game on Steam, so it's a flop! The game didn't move a billion copies, so it's a flop!

spellbreak might had a chance if it was anything other than a battle royale
people were quick to crack down what the meta was and abuse it, they did a terrible way balancing it, which made players leave
but the game would still be alive if it wasnt by the fact the game map was too big for small number of players so they filled with bots
if it was just an arena "shooter" would still have a decent player base even if they didnt care about balancing it

For what it's worth, it looks like multiplayer works with RPCS3:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXlNT0UkRLU

I'm not sure how well it works since I've never played the game myself, but if you can get a community of people playing then you can relive those sweet memories. This game genuinely looks great. It's a real shame that it never was ported to PC at any point, but at least you can get back to kicking ass on multiplayer.

Thievery UT.

Basically Thief but multiplayer using the UT99 engine. It worked surprisingly well, never had another MP experience that came close. And because the community, even at the peak, was only a couple of hundred players, everyone knew each other. The banter was unreal.

Holy shit this game was so fucking good. The movement, the character skill sets, the maps. Most fun multiplayer game I've ever played, but I knew it wasn't gonna last when I started sweeping lobbies. People couldn't wrap their head around stamina and dodging and movement tech or even how to game actually worked and how you won. Not to mention individual characters builds and summon loadouts. Too good for this work. Best melee roster I've ever played in a game like this, but people suck and the game never took off. I remember how many people would just fight over the hyper range characters and would suck at them, but they just wanted to do everything possible to avoid midrange and melee combat cause it was too much if a skill check. When you moved tech to them and they just became panicked retards was always fun.

Thanks.
Seriously though I think they might do a good job with it since that studio's issues are mostly downstream of not actually engaging with the higher difficulty content in their game which a pvp focused game would force on the devs. They're pretty good without that.
>>
>>738394734
Oh I see, yeah it could work but to be honest getting something like PS2 to work takes a special kind of networking expertise that is in short supply. Higby basically had to scam Sony to get them to front the money for it and I doubt any AA studio has access to those kinds of resources (and Sony isn't going to fall for it again lol). I think the only way a PS3 gets made is if a group with inordinate resources buys daybreak entirely and then fronts the costs of an entirely new engine (i.e. a miracle)
