14 DAY TRIAL // Developer Edge of Reality has just announced that its free-to-play third-person shooter Loadout: Good Clean Fun is coming to the PlayStation 4 sometime in the future.
"Loadout is a game that lets you concoct the weapon of your dreams and/or nightmares from hundreds of component parts, and share their payloads with your friends in fast-paced matches, with violently comedic results," says Mark Nau, Loadout's creative director, in a post on the PlayStation Blog.
The game has been touted as having literally billions of possible weapon variations, due to the game's in-depth crafting system that lets you customize pretty much everything you want, allowing you to get the perfect weapon you have always dreamed about and then unleash hell on players all around the world.
"Giant death beam? We've got it covered. Bouncy Tesla balls? Sure. Laser-guided cluster-bomb rockets? Hey, we're not here to judge. Loadout has literally billions of different weapon combinations, and you can wield every last one of them once we launch on PS4. We're going to be adjusting all the scopes and balancing the barrels so your weapons of choice feel right at home on DualShock 4," he pitches the game to fans of Sony's next-gen console.
The game features bombastic characters, sprawling levels, and a ton of over-the-top action, with a unique and detailed visual style that will be right at home on the PlayStation 4.
The best thing about Loadout is that, although it has a high production value, it's a free-to-play game, so everyone can join in and start blasting off limbs and severing heads.
Edge of Reality released Loadout on the PC earlier this year, and since then over 3 million players have registered for the carnage. The developer has constantly kept an open ear to the community's musings, updating the game with a bunch of new features such as private matches, new maps, updated matchmaking system, and much more.
Loadout features gameplay that's reminiscent of old-time arena shooters like Quake and Unreal Tournament, eschewing the more realistic depiction of recent tactical shooters for the pure joy of blowing people up with an unbelievable arsenal of weapons and for a lot of comical references that just wouldn't sit well with the clenched jaw and furrowed brow of Call of Duty or Battlefield.
For now, there is no official release window for the title, but we'll come back with new information as soon as Loadout gets even remotely closer to being released.
