The Game is Dead??

So the Game is Dead??

Not dead, more or less complete. Not the same as dead.

Go to the discord if you need more coop partners. There are always people looking for teammates.

It's also not clear the game is "Complete".... Neon Giant hasn't made any official statements of how much further they intend to take this.. and they haven't done any of the classic "We are done making DLC for this" moves. Cyber Heist just dropped out of the blue in August. That's fairly "Alive".

Bro its not a massive multiplayer game. Whats the point of there being 100.000 people playing it or only a handful? It's mainly a single player game with the option for co-op.

It is a singlee player/cooperative game. People completed it, and moved not, not dead, it is not an MMO.

Well back in the day, when a game was released and complete, such as something for the SNES, N64, etc, there was never any 'support'.

Game isn't dead. As I stated before, the base game is 'completed' and done. Sure, maybe some bug fixes or minor patches will come along, but they don't HAVE to continue adding content to the game or fixing bugs.

Game is fully launched, game is otherwise complete. Has a beginning, a middle, and an end that are all made abundantly clear.

Modern era of gamers belive games are nonstop services and if a game dont get any update in 1-2 month then it is a "dead game".

Too true.

Seen the same sort of posts coming up for other games like Elite: Dangerous, and it just amazes me. Game's still running and live, so it's not dead. It's not abandoned. They're generally content complete as far as need be beyond extra DLCs/content that get added or bugfixes that are applied over time.

Neon Giant is a small studio. When they made this game, they only had 13 people. They recently formed a partnership with Krafton who has given them seed money to work on a much bigger project.... so they are hiring more employees... but this game is far from finished. The only way you will KNOW for absolute certain they are done is when they say they are. This same studio dropped the Cyber Heist expansion without any hype or press.

However, a good indicator that they are wrapping up content production for this game will be when they release the Pre-order Bonus weapons to the general public. For the record, those are "The Bitsplit ~ Digital Shotgun" "The RPEG-33 ~ Energy Rocket Launcher" and "The Persuader ~ POTENT Energy SMG"

You can rest assured Neon Giant is secretly putting something together as long as those remain unattainable to most of us. Once they release those weapons, that will be "We are moving on to other projects" goodbye note.

I heard, know about Bitsplit (preorder) and RPEG-33 (PlayStation Exclusive), but never heard about The Persuader. I always wondered why have the game NO energy SMG. Do you have any source about this weapon? What is the requirement of this? Maybe Xbox, MS Store exclusive?

The Persuader was a Steel Series Pre Order Giveaway contest exclusive. Very few people got their hands on it. Even the information about it is very scant. I posted a link to the Steel Series information about it in Spoilers. I haven't been able to find any videos online of the weapon actually in action. I wonder if any influencers actually managed to get one... It was for Steam, as far as I know.

XBox and MS Store never got their own exclusives... although MS Store probably shared the same exclusives as Steam. XBox is really the odd man out.... but it shouldn't affect anyone's choice to buy the game now, since you can't get any of the preorders after the fact.

I dont know what is Steel Series preorder mean, but thanks for detailed answer. :)

Yes it is

Dunno, just got the game, seems to work fine. I have several friends I regularly play PC games with, and also seems fine. As for finding randoms? No clue, but I hear Discord is the place to go.

There are always people looking for teams on discord. Steam and Playstation are both particularly active with new players. The game isn't dead... but it's a coop game, not a competitive game. It doesn't have lobbies for matching up, it's not cross platform, and it's not cross gen.

Despite the many complaints of crashes, particularly in Coop mode, the coop mode is tons of fun and worth it. If you are plagued by crashing, try lower your graphics settings, don't rush things, don't mash buttons at loading sequences. You'll find the odds of a crash seem to go down quite a bit. They have fixed the crashing before, I think the biggest reason there is a lull in updates is because they are in the middle of hiring people at this time.

If they can get the crashes eliminated, I would love to see team competitive modes... Imagine having Dueling AGI Capture Tournaments!
