If I got a nickel for every popular zero-g game that quickly got shot down after release I would have two nickels. It’s not much but it’s weird it happened twice.
Remember ADR1FT? Nice
walkingfloating simulator, linear AF, but it’s funWhat was the other one? i am not really following any kind of PvP shooters, but I wasn’t aware zero-g ones was a thing.
Or is trying to be a thing, apparently…
Shattered Horizon. It was awesome.
There was a VR sports game on Quest that was really popular where you threw discs at a goal. Forgot what it was called.
It sounds like you are talking about echo arena VR but that was purely a meta decision if not just andrew bosworth’s idea to shut down the game for only having around 10k concurrent players wich is huge for a pvp VR game.
Wow really? There is so much competition that there are non-VR games that would dream about 10k concurrent players. That’s crazy.
That was what i heard but i just looked more into it and it’s 10 thousand monthly players with 1000 concurrent players wich is still really good! Gorilla tag is at 1300 concurrent players on steam right now. There might be 10x that on the quest platform. Meta didn’t like that their game wasn’t as successful as the monke game.
Is that the one?

A bit hard to see how it actually plays from the video because VR, but it looks kinda cool.
Yeah, that’s the one. Tons of people destroying their furniture while playing. And suddenly on the height of popularity it was shut down.

Oh wow it was like the Wii again then!
Lawbreakers
I don’t recall that one having 6dof tho
No, it didn’t. I only thought about the “anti gravity” bit
The publisher didn’t pay the developer and feels like it is the victim here. Classic.
I was going to say people can play Shattered Horizon instead. But apparently that one died at some point.
I used to like that game and was sad when I went back to play and found I couldn’t
so shattered horizon died, then someone else made it and it died again?
Man, if only home computers were capable of hosting their own servers. Oh well! Guess it’s gone forever.
Soo glad I didn’t buy it. Fuck these idiots for making it GaaS
