Square Enix is Shutting Down Mecha-Shooter “Figureheads” on June 30 Anonymous 03/20/18 (Tue) 21:03:40 811e74 No.14518189

>Square Enix has announced they’re shutting down Figureheads.

>The free-to-play, third-person mecha shooter will see its online services going offline on June 30th. The game originally released for Windows PC in March of 2016, with a PlayStation 4 release in March in 2017. An arcade release, Figureheads Ace, was released in Japan last summer.

>Square Enix claimed most players weren’t even finishing online matches, noting they would quit due to unwieldy controls and complicated game rules, as well as the overall slow pace of the entire game itself. They made changes to remedy this, however it wasn’t enough to save the game.

>Despite the game’s services being cut off, the company still plans on releasing a new “Colosseum” pvp map and new story content on March 22nd, with future updates planned.

>Starting March 22nd, all real-life money Gold currency sales will be cut off – while paid in-game items and gold can still be used until the severice ends completely on June 30th. The game client will be unavailable after June 28th.

It's probably p2w garbage but it would've been worth trying at least, how come this is the first time I hear of this game?

>releasing new content for a online game with no servers

As much as I like mechs, I doubt it's any good if it's free to play. Plus, never heard of it. RIP?

Cool mech deigns, pity they're wasted on a shit, moribund game just like Titanfall. I can only imagine how cool it would have been to see them in a proper single player mech sim.

Maybe they're planning for some type of offline client/server emulator to "accidently" leak allowing people to host their own servers?

I couldn't think of anything better for an /m/ thread since half the articles is X is going to be ported to the switch.

By now it's very apparent that game developers will never, ever learn.

I'm going to assume the reason no one ever heard of it is because if it isn't a thread about laughing at a AAA game's fuck ups or a webm/filename/lol/general/share/etc one then you get shit on with SHILL!!!

I've been actively searching for action mecha games for a few years now, and I've looked through everything on the PS4 F2P list. You could tell me it was just getting announced and I couldn't have known any different.

exactly, /v/ is shit, can't talk about anything anymore really, the real d&c shills won and now everyone who disagrees with something only resorts to shitposting, only come here now to get some news and remember the times people talked about games

Shouldn't have made it Japan-only, heard about this 3 years ago, never thought Squeenix in all their retarded glory would only make this nipland exclusive and of course they don't like third person shooters

>>14518197

>>14518399

That's because it was never announced or shilled outside of Japan.

Glad to see the retards astroturfing for their new board alternative here without pointing the fact it was Japan-only weeb version of Warframe that no one liked.

Here's one more video, the cute anime girls are HOLOGRAMS. They also didn't even bother with Steam for an international release.

It was just Hologram waifus and CLANG shit, this game is like Squeenix looked at Girls und Panzer or Kantai Collection, and thought they could make a game to get that otaku dorrars.

No, I know about almost a dozen upcoming/recent mech games from somewhat decently funded to completely indie, but I never heard of this one in particular. You are you just being retarded

Now I remember this one, someone posted a gameplay video on a mecha thread a long time ago when it was in beta, I think. The problem is NO WESTERN RELEASE, obviously the japanese have better taste than wasting their time on a f2p game, they didn't have the ruskis and monkeys to serve as fodder and the whales to give them profits.

I should have specified that it was on this specific game they had the better taste and didn't waste time on it.
