Mavericks Proving Grounds, the ambitious MMO and battle royale shooter from UK developers Automaton Games, has delayed the launch of its Forge mode for early backers. The Forge had originally been scheduled to launch in just two days time but has now been pushed back by two months to Nov. 29.
Former BioWare GM discusses the challenges SpatialOS faces, how his new RPG is inspired by the classic Neverwinter Nights, and more!
Yeah, I think SpatialOS is on the right track now. We'll know for sure when we finally see the RPG he's working on.
He's certainly got the experience. It's working with Spatial that is difficult, with pretty much all but one title now being dead.
They definitely tried to make games with it before the tech and tools were really ready.

Is be interested to try. But if all it did new was have 400 people... then it would have been a let down
Mega fights have sounded very good on paper since Sony tried to do 64 player battles on the ps2 and 3. It sounded good on paper, and never really changed how the player felt. They touted team work and squad based things, but thats just not how most people play a game. Team games only work if people play as a team.
Sounds pointless, would be too many players if they're all in one place which means squads would have to be separated, which means it'll just feel like a big battle game that we've seen before. I think max 64 is best.
PlanetSide 2 has 1200 players in a single match. You guys can play that if you want to feed yourselves to that.
It's no just a trend. It will be a permanent game mode or stand alone genre going forward. I am not a BR fan but I am not blind to see that this now part of gaming culture forever.
I doubt it. Not to the level it was on where every game was bending over backwards to get that game mode in. Has the new mw announced a BR mode? Because a year ago that would have been the very first thing they announced. The trend is dead and we are all better off for it.
I agree with Killswitch80
The trend is not dead at all. Some of the most played games out there are just that mode. so how is the trend dead??
Apex Legends and Fortnite may be leading the pack right now but there are plenty of other promising looking Battle Royale games on the horizon.
