Heya!
I was the Technical Animator on this game. It's a bit shocking to see it still get updated? While I don't think the dev team will ever come back to this, it's nice to see this game getting the attention it deserves. PS+ would truly help this game, and maybe I'll jump in if there's incentive!
Does this update mean that the game could have been passed off to another company to continue updating?
@@DJDIRTYYELLA Not necessarily. Sony always owned the rights to the IP. My inside sources tell me a single person updated this. So it's likely Sony contracted this individual to update some backend stuff, and called it a day.
@ thanks for the explanation, man. I really appreciate it.
I think the PS+ Premium idea is the most likely, weirdly there was no PSVR2 game announced as part of it in January so I wonder if Firewall was the original choice but it was delayed for some reason. Sony hasn't skipped a month for PSVR2 titles since they started putting them on there.
Really hope that's the case, it sucks there's no psvr2 game for January
the bad reviews on this sound are going to make me sick. this is the best war game on ps5 by far. nothing compares to this game and i hope people will get it to convince sony to continue supporting it. this is a very misunderstood masterpiece
I totally agree, this is by far the best shooter.
It has a level of realism that you don't get in other shooters and really good AI that makes coop and solo fun
It is the best PSVR2 multiplayer shooter in terms of gameplay loop, progression + rewards, coop with challenging Ai
I bought it day one and I had fun with it. The matchmaking was horrible, but that day I remember having fun. Actually only played it once or twice as I waited for updates,but the game had potential.
Since the game got updated it is the way it should have been at launch!
The fact that this is still $40 is insane
Feels like no lessons were learned from their first title - this could have been a must have title.
I remember being interested in this game back when the PSVR2 released, since I never really played Zero Hour back in the day. I've always loved the idea of a hardcore tactical shooter like Siege in VR, but after keeping up with info leading up to the game's launch, the red flags kept raising more and more. Seeing the devs say stuff like "manual reloads aren't fun", disregarding criticism, and having one of the devs be very rude to their own community on social media basically sealed the deal on me not bothering with spending money on this game, and I am very glad I didn't. It just seemd like the devs were very out of touch with the needs of the VR community, and unfortunately this is the result of that.
At least Breachers came and filled that role quite nicely imo.
Ultra is incredible. The issues were fixed and the game left in good shape before they shut down. It's not "dead" at all. I play every weekend for hours at a time. Lobbies can take a while to fill, but it is totally worth the wait. I hope they discount it or put it up for free. New players would be very welcome.
Such a shame about this game, it had soooo much potential, it was enjoyable at the start, but only because of the multiplayer interaction while we were all being amazed by how good our new psvr2 were. More games like this in the future would be good.
I can’t remember does this game have private lobbies? If so, it might be something for a Gamecat Sunday meetup maybe and i can get some use out of this Game lol!!
@@kilartist1thedreamweaverga3 yes theres private lobbys up to 8 players
There are certainly private lobbies, at least half a year ago there were...
I bought it at launch 1 hr playtime since. Worth a try now i guess
Should of just remastered OG FW for PSVR2, game didn’t need any those daft changes that turned 75% the original fan base off. If it ain’t broke… ❌
Thanks 💪💪💪
Finally someone smart. Hi brother.
The game is not dead there are loads of players on it every eve. Sometimes I have booted up Pavlov to see only 4-5 half filled matches or I struggled to get matches on Onward some nights but I don't go saying those games are dead 😅
How is it fair to call a game "dead" when despite not having any crossplay, it still has working multiplayer lobbies and players playing even 1+ year after the development company going out of business and being on life-support with multiplayer servers being managed and maintained by Sony Interactive Entertainment. They have also kept Firewall Zero Hour running.
This game failed in terms of what developer and SIE expected in terms of player adoption and is possibly one of the early casualties of Jim Ryan stepping down leading to support dropping for live-service games.
i wouldn't get down on my knees thanking the firewall gods just yet as the update was a x4 XP. seriously it took them a year to think about that gives you cause for concern. Personally if it was me doing the update i would have updated the game so level 1 player could choose any gun with attachments and do a Nerf on ADS, ADS should be like call of duty it should only work if your moving as an anti camping method. the Left hand ADS is ridiculous you have to see it to believe it. theres still Die hards that play it but the sands of time are running out on what could have potentially been the best vr game ever but now its a Floater waiting to be flushed away by Sony
sad thing Firewall, had high hopes for it.
They should be updating it if it's dead or not lol companies wonder why there games go to crap because they don't keep up on it. It's like a house take care of it and put money and time into it and it will last longer
Yeah, my guess is that it is going to PS Plus.I would check it out then. Can't see paying much for it. Especially with no campaign.
Its NOT DEAD Loads of players still play and there is a pro league on its 3rd season. ITS MANY PLAYERS FAVOURITE GAME STILL.
Good to know it's got competitive chops.. that's an intriguing story in fact.
@ByteSizedSociety this game has been kept going by the players, the update happened because one of the FCE ex employees is in contact with one of the players my m8 Bucky, who has given feedback to him and he has sent fixes on behalf of sony on a few individual cases and bugs.this same guy organised the pro league and saved the player base from crashing keeping interest high. This game is best vr shooter it just needs few patches and to release the maps most likely already near completion. Release it at major discount and it will do better, ive already seen loads of new players since christmas, and this update is designed to help new players level up and keep up because as you said theres a bunch of experienced ultra killers on it so new players need a boost. The unlock system is awful on the game and mostly makes no sense the things u need early are unlocked last, and the game is not perfect but i defo recommend it because ive had some amazing games and some laugh playing with mates and strangers 🤣
Nah it’s dead AF☠️😅
A league with 8 teams....😂
❤@@davidhiggins8386
If they put free movimantation i will come back to the game
i had a lot of fun in this game, but firewall2 was a disapointment since start course everyone was expected a lot more progress for psvr2.
I was a hard-core player of that game from firewall to ultra...After the devs abandon it start to have many issues...It's a great game but unfortunately a dead one...The big mistake the devs make is that they gave it to sony...This game should be a cross platform and it must have support from a company to fix all the issues to be playable again...The release of an update that just give double xp and crypto dosen't help at all...Only helps the remain players to climb on top of the leaderboard...
If this game could just fill the empty spots with AI characters the game might be saved. I have 2 friends and we'd love to jump in but we don't have a 4th and I really don't want to search for randoms :D
I wish they just make an offline mode with AI players. At least you can alwaya play
I want my money back...wasted my hard earned money on this garbage
Still full price too. I don't think I've ever seen it on sale. Absolute joke for an unsupported unpolished game.
firewall
I thought they shut down
It was a pretty unfinished game.
Lol, naw this games dead, its the same try hards playing this about the same 17players youll always run into, so happy this studio shut down, a message for anyone trying to release garbage like this.
@Blujustice IKR and the first firewall was awesome
@@silversubaru590 ultra is way better than zero hour, u need to buy a gun stock to enjoy it. Rec the ko ra vader 1
Lots of players came back recently there is a nice mix of players since the update, hope to see more new players give it a try and if they enjoy it they will stay hopefully :)
Meh not really into these kind of games .
Its not your opinion, this game was a huge letdown, just like psvr 2. Im not a hater, just disappointed.
