If you are looking forward to the launch of Sony’s PlayStation 4 next-generation games console, you will be pleased to learn that a new trailer has been released for the upcoming new PlayStation 4 game Blacklight Retribution.
Blacklight Retribution has already been released onto PC via Valve’s Steam gaming network last year, but is now expected to launch later this year when the PlayStation 4 console launches.
Game Setting and Modes
“Blacklight Retribution takes place in a science fiction setting and possesses a number of game types and maps. The game appears currently to have no single-player other than training and practice mode, pitting players against AI or “bot” enemies.
The Blacklight Retribution game types are: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Domination (a ticket type of game), King of the Hill (objective capture), and Kill Confirmed (similar to Team Deathmatch, but players collect tokens from their dead opponents for extra Combat Points, and pick up their own from dead teammates, to form a kill denied).
Blacklight Retribution Siege Mode, where one team advances a Scorpion Tank through checkpoints into enemy territory, was added in August 2012. In March 2013, Blacklight Retribution Onslaught mode was added, in which players collect tokens to gain XP and GP.”
Additional Features and Gameplay
Blacklight Retribution is known for its deep customization options, allowing players to modify their weapons and gear extensively. This level of customization ensures that no two players will have the same loadout, making each match unique and challenging. The game also features a futuristic Heads-Up Display (HUD) that provides players with critical information, such as enemy locations and objectives, enhancing the tactical aspect of the game.
The game’s graphics are powered by the Unreal Engine 3, which delivers stunning visuals and smooth gameplay. The detailed environments and character models contribute to an immersive gaming experience. Additionally, the game supports DirectX 11, which brings advanced graphical features like tessellation and improved lighting effects.
Another notable feature is the game’s free-to-play model, which allows players to enjoy the core game without any initial purchase. However, there are microtransactions available for those who wish to enhance their experience with cosmetic items or faster progression. This model has been well-received in the PC community and is expected to attract a large player base on the PlayStation 4 as well.
The PlayStation 4 version of Blacklight Retribution is anticipated to take full advantage of the console’s hardware capabilities. This includes improved graphics, faster load times, and potentially new content exclusive to the console version. The game is expected to be a significant addition to the PlayStation 4’s launch lineup, offering a robust multiplayer experience right out of the gate.
In conclusion, Blacklight Retribution’s transition from PC to PlayStation 4 is highly anticipated by fans of the game and new players alike. With its diverse game modes, extensive customization options, and high-quality graphics, it promises to be a standout title on Sony’s next-generation console. Whether you are a seasoned veteran of the PC version or a newcomer eager to dive into the action, Blacklight Retribution on PlayStation 4 is shaping up to be a must-play game.
